  • Jagdpanzer says:

    the photos do not match the table or the forces

  • M. Nisbet says:

    So, where do the T-55AM2s come into the battle? And the M113s?

  • Nabeshin says:

    Actually I only just noticed this now; these two photos look like two different battlefields. Can you add a reference one so we can see the whole thing, as Storm Caller suggested?

  • fingolfen says:

    Congratulations on the win – especially against the Brits – they seem to have been the hardest nut to crack here lately!

    Ref pictures
    Before you start take these three

    1) hole battle field looking North with WARSAW PAC on the right or East, you can always reverse North and South just keep WARSAWPAC to right

    2) Photo looking across from NATO to WARSAW PAC

    3) Photo looking the other way WARSAW PAC

    Do the same at the end!

    If you miss key events just reset and shoot away

    In my group our record is 125 photos of the same battle two table 200 plus points and went 15 turn, Or about 5 picture per table per turn.

    For an average game between 15 to 20 photos

  • Nabeshin says:

    An improvement, some more pictures would go down a treat.

  • Jagdpanzer says:

    But I often get caught up and forget to take some myself

  • Jagdpanzer says:

    Congrats on the win, shame about the NATO loss. Some more pics would be great
