With the speakers turned up to eleven in the command tank, the music helped to drown out some of the leopards machinegun. "Every body want's to rule the world" by foreigner creating that disco beat. All the commander needed was a disco ball in the turret to complete the whole disco theme, his gunner Kurt thought, as he watched his commander dance about the turret with his walkman.
Kurt ruminated on the history of his company commanders in recent times, the commander who liked stylish outfits, but who's high heals had caught on the firing lever and taken out the blue bratwurst wagon in a fiery explosion while on manoeuvres. But to be fair they weren't very good bratwurst anyway. The next commander who had had been "eccentric" if you are being kind and barking mad if you were being truthful. That commander had been sent for an "extended leave" after starting to talk to his service pistol. So the new commander who liked 80's pop music and had his uniform tailored to include flares and a man bag wasn't so strange.
I'm pretty sure that made no sense at all" thought Kurt, though he wasn't sure as his understanding of English appeared to be as poor as his commanders was.
Two units of troop transports with what appeared to be rockets mounted on them appeared in the distance.
A quick change of tapes in the Walkman, soon resulted in Gerry lee yelling at the top of his lungs and pounding on a keyboard.
"Platoon 2 and Hunter flight if you please, target right behind grannies house".
"GREAT BALLS OF FIRE!" shouted the commander as the enemy disappeared in flames and debris.
Kurt slowly begins to bash his forehead on the gun site mumbling about idiots and how do they keep finding him.
At his point it's late so.....
The pair of Gepards, two lots of two red eye team attachments and the Rolands? take out all four of the attacking Russian planes.
The armoured infantry assaults down the road to take the right-hand objective, losing all the transports then succumbing to counter assaults themselves. But only after having chipped the right-hand Russian platoon down to 3 elements. The other platoon of Russians have to withdraw to contest the objective but are caught in the open by Gepards and the Platoon of three Leopards.
Platoon two Leopards assault the remaining Russian infantry off the objective for the win.
On the left flank, a Russian unit of 10? tanks of some sort (it was hard to tell what they were with all their burning friends obscuring the view) came on near the end and killed one tank from platoon one and were in turn spanked by the Tornadoes.
I’m happy to see NATO give us a run for the Money 🙂
