Looking from the North.

For this in-store campaign game, I had to play on the Warsaw Pact side cause there was only one other player to the five NATO players that showed up. My American opponent deployed his force and tried to move aggressively towards the objectives. I had four pre-placed minefields to block his avenues of approach and force the enemy force to swing away from the center of town and go wide. With his M1's in the lead, my opponent started to engage my force and in the early stages cleared my left flank. When he felt confident, I sprang my ambush and started to destroy his M1's and support vehicles. My opponent kept the pressure on to keep moving forward towards the objective, but every time I blunted and/or delayed him from advancing.
As the game progressed, I started to get a momentum going and every time he came in to force his way to the objectives, he would slam into the "Iron Wall" of my T-64's and BMP-2's. When we ended the game on Turn-7, he had only an Infantry Platoon, Mortar Platoon and I believe a Scout Section left to try to and push towards the objectives. After looking that I was still solidly defending the both objectives we called it cause he knew he could not take it with the forces that he had left.

Warsaw Pact - Wins 5 to 2

The Americans lay a smoke screen on my right flank as they move forward.
The American force on the right flank, found a break in the minefield and skirted around to push forward. Once past the minefield, they began to engage the BMP-2's holding the line and destroyed them. He also managed to destroy a 2S1 Carnation artillery vehicle as well. He was now hitting on this side of the flank.
In the center of town I unleash the ambush of T-64's, destroying 2 M1's. My infantry now in the building and artillery are raining down fire on the enemy and whittling him down. The main thrust coming into town is stopped cold.
The American force still had tenacity in them and tried to force his way into the center of town to reach the objective. He moved his remaining M1 platoon onto the road and destroyed 2 more T-64's and they still held on. I fired back at the M1's and destroyed 2 to force a morale check which he failed. In the center of town, he moved M113's in to try to get to the objective but were destroyed from Infantry fire from the buildings. On the left flank, he couldn't break the other T-64 line and I destroyed his M109's and remaining VAD to force a morale check and they retreated.
