A Kamphgruppe of 1st Panzer tries to clear the rail line out of Bremerhaven as part of an operation to get a working port in northern Germany
Combat Near Debstedt
Oberst Tomas Nadea watched the approaching NATO force from the top of a building in an industrial park. NATO’s operations officers had finally listened to their logisticians and were making an effort to secure a real port. Short of forcing 1st West Front to surrender, that wasn’t happening. The ports of Bremerhaven and Wilhelmshaven were securely in PACT hands at the moment, and Nadea’s screening force was shielding the 1st Motorisierte’s positions near Bremen. Fuel was an issue, so Nadea was letting the motley enemy Kamphgruppe come to him. The Marines who had been prominent in the fighting in this area had vanished, and now what looked like a mixed force of Chieftains and Leopards was moving against him.
Hotwash. BH probably lost this game when he got counterattack as a mission after choosing to have German panzer grenadiers instead of British infantry. Too few stands. I felt he took too many risks on 1+ cross checks, but he disagreed - he needed to control the objective before my massively superior firepower came to bear on the Chieftains from 360 degrees. Truthfully, if my BC hadn't been there to improve my counterattack number it probably would have worked.
Congrats brother. With all the spam battles it took me a while to find this one.
