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.

This was quiet different from what we usually play fun for but i think we will not be playing this again Leo's are just too strong in a tank on tank battle.

WEST GERMAN WIN 4-3
