Upon making contact with elements DDR East German 9 PZR DIV we found x3 Volksarmee T-55 BN, T-72 BN, and BMP Mot-schutzen BN. We located BM-21 Rocket Launchers, and those nasty Hinds. We will be in a fight boy’s Dutch beer tonight!
Our Irish Guards 432 Infantry with extra Milan’s took the high ground on the right flank, while my 2nd 432 PLT took the cross roads in the village on my left flank.
It does well when you do an IPB (Intelligence preparation of the battle field). Turn 1 I popped my ambush of Chieftains and MTC Spartans. Every shot counts boys. I called for Harrier support, they came in hard and fast. I cried when I saw two parachutes falling behind enemy lines. What Harriers that made it through all those missiles. They blunted the DDR fast attack against our right flank.
Turn 2 Those Harriers couldn’t come back. I was feeling heat rounds coming from above It was Hinds and blasted one Chieftain and 1 MTC. I had to deploy my FV432 to target infantry in the open. Meantime were getting hit hard with Artillery.
Our Airforce Observer called for a squadron of Harriers and this time took out the SA-13 Gopher, artillery 2S1 camation, and Spandels. Beers on us tonight to our Airforce hero’s.
We came to a draw in 4 turns due to time. British forces destroyed x6 platoons of tanks, ADA, and Artillery. While our losses were light where two chieftains were put out of action the platoon leader kept them around. Again my M109s did not get on the field.

Nice table and a tough fought battle.
Shame you didn’t get everything on the field, and unlucky on the draw. However, the board looks great and so does that Berlin Brigade! A couple more details wouldn’t go amiss 🙂
Looking again at the pictures, the battle was heavily influenced by the table lay of the land (and players choices)
hard fought! cool table!
Victor Thanks for the suggestion. I posted my List.
Nice report. Seemed like the air made the day. Good to see a strong showing of air power.
A hard fought battle. Keep holding the line, we will stop them here.
Good report, the whole battle happening on one-third of the table 🙂
*If you are using excel (or open for that matter) you can “print” them to pdf format instead of saving them.
Great story and nice AAR; very cool table,
looks like you had a good time against those Ossies
Really cool table!
The Berlin Brigade love spreads. Well done!
I didn’t forget my list. I’m having problems changing my spreadsheet to PDF to upload.

Excellent write up, but I miss the army lists.
great report with great pictures.
Damn real life and those time restraints!
Better luck next time!
Well fought my English friend. The next time we meet your Harrier pilots better have their survivor’s insurance up to date.
Looked like a good fight! …Yeah lovely looking table and painted armies … makes the batrep pictures look richer.
Some nice terrain with some good looking armies!
interesting board
