Boom! Boom! Boom!
75 POINTSAs Nato seems to be missing from local game shop, we decided to get in a Red on Red practice action.
Taking advantage of a quiet area behind the front lines, a perfect place for a little East German, Russian rivalry to be settled.
We decided to deploy on the high ground with it's nice view. The Artillery would show up eventually so what better place.As only half the force was ready to go, I put the small BMP-1 force to hold the objective and the medium sized BMP2 company to cover the various fields of fire, ready to rain down missiles in many directions while parked behind a stone wall.
The T64s were back ready to take advantage of their superior ranged songster missiles.
Now I'm face with a bit of a conundrum. Do I push hard with my infantry or should I roll with my tanks? I decide to hold off and see if I can knock off a few more tanks or BTR60s at range. Especially getting rid of the BTRs will help with an infantry assault and there are still more T55s that need to be watched for...
Unfortunately the East German BMP1s know how to shoot but likewise trying to draw more T55s and T72Ms out has worked.This makes the decision for which objective to go for an easy one with some slight risk. I'll go for the one by the barn, with luck those T55s won't last long.
пехота вперед! The remaining BMP2s make quick work of them. Now if the T64s can take out most of those BTR60s in support, our numbers should easily result in a victory.
Faced with a choice, do I keep trying to take out the BTR60s or should I take out the spandrels? Then the East Germans decided to get a little serous about going after an objective.
With a couple of the BTR60s taken out, I figured it was time to pull the tanks so they with the BRDMs could take out this threat. Those brutal guns on infantry in the buildings should make short work of them...

I know that wretched Blackadder was wearing a British uniform the two times that I squared off with him. Nice victory comrade.
Nice looking game table and units, but you had me panicking until I realized it was Red on Red. I was like, Dang, that’s a LOT of WTO troops. Guess I’m getting a little combat fatigued.
Well done Comrade!
Good report
Good report and nice-looking table! Now go do this to NATO… 😉
Nice looking gaming table. That’s a lot of BMPs… LOL. Thanks for sharing.
Nice report. You don’t see many red on red games. In my area we NATO forces would be fighting to get a game in against you.
Please continue killing each other, makes it easier for NATO
Nice report. Back to the front lines.
Speaking of Blackadder…
“Field Marshal Haig is about to make yet another gargantuan effort to move his drinks cabinet six inches close to Berlin.”
I thought Blackadder was a British player? Ih Well, nice report regardless
