The race begins

This was Frym3n's second game with his new West Germans. Since he only has his basic set we decided to go for a quick mission with only MBT (Main Battle Tanks)

FOCUS ON THE MISSION

+++

The Soviets got the first turn and moved their T-72's in a concentrated body toward the objective, taking care not to expose themselves to long range fire of the West Germans.

+++

+++

This time the West Germans had to close towards the objective and could not control the battle as long range duel where they held the advantage. One platoon of Leo II's moved into woods hoping to draw out the T-72's.

+++

That was a partial success. They managed to draw out a half of them but were in turn both destroyed.

+++

T-72's take out the first West German platoon.

+++

Down to 3 tanks the Leo's attempted to engage the T-72's and scored 4 hits. Two kills and two bails.

+++

+++

But the odds were now against them.

The T-72s confidently swarmed against them and in two turns they had wiped them out to only minor losses.

+++

+++

In this battle the Leo II's were could not play on their strengths and were forced to close in where the T-72's lay in wait.

    Soon to be comrade Nisbet.

    I do not write a Saga every time and surströmming is for Swedish Children. It is fermented shark that makes hairs grow on your chest.

    A very quick and concise one this time, Red Alert. Too much Surströmming? And I’m sure you’re glad you’re back to winning ways after that little slip in the prior report.
