I deployed my one T-64 company, my Observer and Acacias and the storms. My other T-64 company was held in ambush

Turn 1:

Flo pushed Forward with both his M1 platoons and positioned his Cobras behind the small village. The first hit was with his Copperheads and destroyed one T-64. The M1 destroyed the Storms with eas. Reminder for me do think more about the usage of cover.

I revealed my ambsuh immediately and my T-64 pushed into the flanks of the Forward M1 platoon. Also my other T-64 Company opened up fire with their Kobra Missiles. Flo lost three M1 and the remaining decided to go home. Nice first round.

Unlucky storms
Revenge followed soon

Turn 2:

Flo tried to do a Blitz with his remaining M1 platoon but did not succeed. Also his Mech. Platoon failed to Blitz out of their M113. The Shooting of Copperheads, ITV and Scouts destroyed three T-64 of my ambush Company. Damn Copperheads...

My T-64 moved Forward to have a shoot out with the M1. My other T-64 Company went straight for the Mech platton. They destroyed three Teams with MG fire. My second T-64 Company destroyed 2 M1. Then I charged the Mech. platoon, killing one Team and forcing them to retreat.

Shoot out...
Poor Mech. platoon
Forward comrades!
2: 0 for the T-64

Turn 3:

Again Flo did not pass his order role. He then concentrated his fire on my Forward T-64 Company and destroyed them completely. This AT21 Heat weapons suck...

I got my first reserves and picked my remainig T-64 Company. They arrived in the opposite Corner and were able to drove into the M1's flank. My Acacia ranged in on the Mech. platoon but without any casulties. My T-64 destroyed the M109 with Kobras and my three strong T-64 Company finished off the last M1.

Fire of the ITV's, Scouts and the Cobras finally finished my T-64 company with command
Timely arrival for my T-64 in reserve
One M1 cought fire and the other fled the field
Late revenge for all those burning T-64

Turn 4:

Flo just moved his Mech. platoon and his Scouts towards the objective. Just one T-64 was destroyed by the Cobras.

All my reserves reached the battlefield this round. Shooting was bad and nothing was destroyed this round.

My reserves finally arrive
My BRDM pushing towards Flo's Mech. platoon

Turn 5:

The Mech. Platoon tried again to blitz out of their M113 but did not succeed. The ITV and Cobras destroyed just one T-64.

Everything was then ready for the last stage of this battle. My BRDM's attacked the US infantery and destroying one Team. One more and they will break, so my T-64 machine gunned another Team and they fled. My remaining T-64 destroyed one ITV and my other T-64 Company destroyed one Scout. They all passed their morale test but the US Force was not in good Spirits and lost the game because his command already died in the first round.
