It was a battle for the ages started with an Attack at dawn. The initial salvo of the leopard's was able to slow the BMP's but the weight of the Communist army bared down on us. An early gambit by the Air assets were met with heavy AA fire and we were able to stop them in there tracks. It was a hard fought battle from there with destruction on a grand scale. 1 Platoon as well as my personal vehicle were taken out by a salvo of around 24 missiles and it was up to second platoon to protect the bridge. As you can notice in the pictures even the Gas station blew up during a tense moment in the engagement where the BMPs tried to rush the gas station. We held off till almost time and our morale finally gave out and we were forced to retreat! In our wake we left a field of burning tanks and vehicles but the Communist morale would not break. We plan on regrouping and trying to take that bridge back!
wow, that table is very scenic pleasing to look at, very nice job!!!
Nicely painted armies too along with a nice write up of the game 🙂
Wasn’t sure if anyone else was going to bring Germans so I used them for the first game as I have armies of all nationalities! But I have now settled into US.
Awesome pictures
A nice collection of photos there but I’m getting confused; seeing WG forces on the table, but the BatRep states US forces.
Great photos
In my opinion Had I used my first platoon of leopard 2s later and not sprung my ambush on the first turn I believe I could have blunted the attack. I was able to do dirt but took to much return fire and lost a tank which put the platoon in a dangerous place. and they had to be more cautious.
Nice and crowded table layout.
Do you feel like you could have done it differant to take the win?
A lovely busy looking table is what I like to see. Good looking game, guys.
I got 3Vp my opponent got 4Vp. I killed roughly 80 pos he killed 60 point Soviet Morale can be tough!
Also we made the river impassable! The BMPs being amphibious made this a lot of fun! worth it
A good mission. Started out poorly for my Soviets as well but then their was carnage.
What was you VP score?
Great Report and Photos. I was very tempted to put out Rivers on my first table. How did the Rivers come to play for both sides?
