As the lead elements of the 3rd Armor crossed into the Czech Republic they meet little to no resistance. except for two border guards who request them documents........the working end of a 105mm cannon worked for them!
They came to a little town just as it was getting dark and found the place to sleep and hold up until morning, it was around four in the morning when the force was put on alert. Intel had shown the Czech moving out of their garrison and toward the lead elements of the 3rd Armor!
I guess no one told the Czech that the Americans owned the Night!
This was a very slow game! The night conduction gave the Czech (East German) force a night mare! The use of shooting then scooting behind cover allowed for my M-1 to get two firings before the Czech could return fire was a major factor.
The Czech infantry did make it to the woods, but without support were wiped out in time.
As a result of this battle, the city of Prague was declared an open city and the Czech Republic requested a cease-fire until diplomats work on the peace negotiations.
3rd Armor is presently in Garrison (formerly Russian) and Prague
I have more pictures but these are the highlights

Congrats on the win! Better late than never reported……..
Welcome to the campaign! No doubt your fellow commanders will want to speak to you on the forums, you’ll get some great tips there too. Good luck!
Great looking table and a great AAR!

Nice report. Clear and good set up. Earned you a commendation from me.

Just noticed the reference to 3rd Armored. Better if it was 1st Armor, 2nd ACR or 3rd Infantry, which are in the south. Oberst Hunts should do a little NATO OPD and let you know where your troops are. I suppose one of 3rd Armored’s battalions could have been at Graf when the shooting started.
Merica!
Nice report – good looking table… was still Czechoslovakia at this point though… 😉
Good report, well done
Nice job Vanguard
A good win, welcome to the fight, Commander. You Yanks are always a little late, but always very welcome.
