This was a rematch of the last game. I didn't even change the table as the set up was different. Another Quick Mission - this time Recon in Force.

WEST GERMAN TURN 1
Again the i got the first turn and manoeuvered my tanks into firing positions. Their fire was moderately successful, destroying 2x T-64 tanks and bailing the third.
The worst was yet to come, the soviets joined the formation commander to the unit with one active T-64 and one bailed and for the second time failed morale on a "1". So much for fearless.
SOVIET TURN 1
Soviets tried to set up so as to limit a little the return fire. Then I went to shooting and the few shots that found their mark bounced off on the thick skin of the Leopards
WEST GERMAN TURN 2
I was sensing victory at hand moved my Luchs to capture two objectives, giving them three at the end of the turn.
Fire was pretty destructive this turn. But the soviets still had their Recon intact or else thay wouldn't have any unit in good spirits and the Formation Leader was of course no where to be seen.
SOVIET TURN 2
The Germans were now in possession of 3 objectives so he decided to do something about my Luchs. And did. managed to take out one from each platoon and the others failed their morale.
Well that was 2 platoons destroyed.
WEST GERMAN TURN 3
Well not that it made a great difference.
I just had to destroy the Soviets tank by tank. And did. When the smoke cleared only a single bailed T-64 remained. So the Soviets automatically failed their formation morale.
An interesting force, frym3n, and worthy of further study given the results.
Good to see somebody put Red in the corner
Awesome job and congrats on the win Frym3n
Nice job. The Leopard2 with even Good gunnery is just a total beast.
Frontal assault and Leo IIs definitely don’t mix. At least this will put an end to tons of forum discussions on “Western powers underestimating soviet armour” 😀 . Commended!

First turn and Soviet traitors. Not sure you will win every match, враг
good report
Close and underserved Frym3n well fought battle over nice terrain with a Fine AAR
congratz
congrats on the win! nice to see the mighty red alert is human, and not a soviet winning machine!
Congratulations on the win against one of the best generals on the board
Pretty one-sided, but a nice little report nonetheless. Leopard 2 is a beast!
