Hellenic 21st Armoured Brigade

A bit late in reporting but i've been interrogating our captives as to why a Greek division is based in Frankfurt.

Frankfurt has been surrounded for a day now with our BMP companies digging in and forming the encirclement. With our tanks held back as a reserve to counter any breakout attempt west.

Initial contact was of a full strenght company of leopard 1's from the 2st Hellenic armoured division.

The attack was supported by jaguars and west german gephards and timed to coincide with a cluster strike from a flight of tornadoes.

Initial losses were heavy leaving just the company commanders T72 operational and where the gophers failed the gaskins found their mark from the other side of town on the Tornadoes.

Initial attack up the main road and through some clusters of trees on the outskirts
ATGM's covered by gaskins move to setup shot into the flanks of the Greek attack.
First unit of T72's arrived in time to trade fire with the recently purchased Greek tanks
A tornado bombing run homes in on the tanks ang gophers, but it will be the gaskins that save the day

After this heavy blow it was up to the ATGM's and the infantry's own RPG's to take on the Greek steel. A task they were well up too. The infantry's BMP2's revealed themselves and let lose a volley along with the spandrels into the flank. They made a good account of themselves knocking out half the leopards but before they could reload they were annihilated by the quick loading and firing of the leopard gunners and gephards.
With only 6 T72's making a slow advance through the forest it was now or never for the infantry. They blitzed out of their foxholes and fired with every RPG they had at hand. The sheer plume of shots overwhelmed the Greek armour and seeing their opponents were completely in shock pushed home their attack and they moved into the field of burning wrecks hunting down all the support vehicles.

Bmp2's that had been expertly concealed and lurking in the fields reveal themselves and take a heavy toll with their missiles
All that remains are the burning hulks after the Infantry got into rpg range.

Before finally the last few Greeks surrendered.
3 men and 1 NCO were captured and handed over to the Stasi for interrogation. So far all we've managed to get out of them is muttering of being like Lannisters and paying their debts.

The 4 Greeks captured and handed over to the Stasi.

    I think next time there will be no ‘Οχι’, but rather a ‘Ναί!’ from our Greek troops. The war has a long way to go yet, Commander, Good luck in your next one.

    Obviously they were in Germany to pick up their Leo Is. Maybe they got a deal on Leo IIs. Who knows.
