Some AAR comments.

My M109s backed up with Lars were very effective slowing up the BMP horde.

Number your Ranged In markers if using more than one battery. It's easy to lose track of which is which if firing at the same location.

We played Hasty Attack. Waiting on the Soviets to come to you will not secure objectives. Use an infantry platoon per objective for defense, then maneuver everything else to hit them and force them to defend an objective instead of letting them gang up on you.

Having to wait until turn three for reserves is painful. My solution was to put the infantry on the table with the Leopard 2s as an anchor. Then I placed the artillery with the Gepards as a covering force. Once the Leopard 1s became available they could be used to hopefully exploit a weakness in the lines to secure an objective.

Don’t let your Gepards pretend to be tanks.

I’ve tried mounted and dismounted Milans. Right now I think they are much more effective and survivable dismounted.

Bring more Leopard 1s.

    I didn’t think to take any notes on what was occurring. This was my third game of TY and I’m still learning a lot of the rule nuances and have to consult books and other players. Next game I will take a picture of each turn and key moments to help with a more detailed report.

    A good win for the West Germans. Would it be possible to get a more detailed report? I understand if you’re too busy too, or the heat of battle makes you forget to jot down some notes.
