Time - 12.00
Date - day of landing of 2 divisions of the US Marine Corps in Hamburg(august 1985)
Location – Walsrode(60 North of Hannover)
The advance of the battle group of Colonel Dolch was very successful. Unloading all the troops, he quickly led the column to Hannover leaving behind the main group of Soviet troops. With the support of German aviation, the column successfully passed with the Soviets moving to Hamburg.
But when approaching the town of Walsrode, the fighter aircraft covering them from the air reported that they were meeting with a tank group of at least 20 tanks and they would meet in half an hour.
- Well, gentlemen. It's time to check out these wonderful tanks in real combat.- Said the colonel on the radio. - I'm advancing with the two platoons, the infantry, Jaguars and Gepard's ahead, the rest of the group get tight as you can -
The Colonel leaned back in his seat, enjoying the smooth movement of Leo-2.
"What a wonderful tank, especially after Leo-1. How well we got them ... "he thought with pleasure watching the scenery through the commander's monitor.
Lieutenant Nielsen was sticking out of his Marder's turret and looked with horror at the picture of the battlefield. In less than half an hour they lost the Jaguars and two Leopards, but only one crew was killed.
Looking at two dozen burning Soviet tanks, on his wounded comrades Nielsen understood that the war in Europe would be completely different from their operation in the Congo.
- Nielsen !!! - he heard the roar of the colonel, - bring your Marder here! My tank is stuck in these fucking ruins! -

Your army and reports are among the most memorable in this campaign.
Great work.
huzzah, well done commander
A pleasure to see such a well-painted force again, just excellent. The formatting for this I also like, telling the story through images and captions is a quick and effective way to a commendation from me! Good work.
Nice looking models and a sweet table. Congrats on another win.
GO NATO! Great looking table.
Nicely done!
Yours is my favourite paint scheme of the campaign. Straight pictures would give you a 10, for now here’s a commendation 🙂 .
Great job. The tanks are awesome and the report was top rate
Congrats on the win. We can certainly use them. Love seeing the white UN troops. Have been following them on Facebook.
Congrats Rus. A great report documenting a much needed victory
Excellent battle. British Command thanks our German and Dutch allies in our time of need.
Again a German Victory at Hanover, now I understand the question on our forum Phillip.

Breathtaking army (both Sides – but Being UN a bit more neutral on the others)
