QUICK MISSION: BYPASS
56 POINTS*
+++
*56 is an odd number but it is optimal. It allows the US to take 7 tanks and the Soviets 13x T-72. One point less and the US has to take 6 tanks and lose 7 points in a MBT only battle.
+++
+++
Trying to break through at Frankfurt the Soviets attempt to bypass the US forces.
+++
Gandri is back and we decided to do quick missions with MBT's only like we had done with Frym3n. We rolled for the mission and got Bypass. The Soviets rolled to be the attacker.

Russians advance, since they have no targets they go for dash movement bringing them close to one of their objectives.
+++
+++
US forces maneuver to meet the threat. Their initial fire destroys one T-72 and bails another. The US tanks did score more hits but the front armour of the T-72 saved them from taking damage.
+++
+++
Having almost lost half their force, the US are determined to hold fast. Tanks from the 2nd Abrams platoon only manage to destroy one T-72 and bail another. But the sole remaining tank from 1st platoon bails two T-72. With one T-72 burning and three bailed the platoon must pass motivation and is joined by the Formation Commander. Now all that is needed is a 2+ roll.
+++
+++
The Soviets now have two companies, one with 2 tanks and one with 4. Their fire is ineffective and one platoon leaves in good spirits according to the mission rules. The remaining platoon now must weather one turn of US fire to win.

You will get him next time Red Alert 😉 As you said, you have a few more wins ^^
But these Quick missions are putting preasure on us!
Good luck mate and nice report 🙂
Nice report
Great report
Talk about luck. Good game, good report.

Both Gandri and I are new to TY.
WE do however have a few years under our belt in Flames of War. TY has a number of things to learn and get used to, but a “veteran” gamer from FOW has an advantage.

Red alert,
Nice report! Gandri could use a little help with reports….needs pictures
Could job at teaching Gandri, I don’t know if I would call him a “Veteran” after nine games?
Our senior WARSAW PAC player has in the neighborhood of fifty game against three different NATO and he has just started winner against two of the three! He is learning about different styles of play! He would never call himself a “Veteran”. “Target” maybe.
Go check Armchair Adventurer battle, he is milke Freisky

I’m teaching him the true Russian advantage of multiple small units (MSU) vs what most WARSAW PAC plays
A good game, Comrade Red Alert. Your US player is doing well showing the strengths of his side, perhaps others will follow his example.
+++
Gandri is a veteran player and this is our 9th game.
It is his first win.

Nice report! Good to see that you’re bringing some new players into the game. Bummer on the loss though!
