Firestorm: Stripes

The Team Yankee Global Campaign

Engagement near Leipzig

50 POINTS
Warsaw Pact
Nikolai Zhukuv
VS United States
Der Scholinger

Flo and me decided to do a small sunday afternoon game. So our Pointlimit was reduced to 50 Points. We rolled for the Mission and it was Free for all. Also we we decided to shorten our table. So do not wonder why some space is left without any Terrain. This is the first time we try out 50 points. We always play games with 100 oints or more.

My force:

1x Command T-64
3x T-64
3x T-64
3x T-64
4x BRDM
4x Gaskin

US force:

1x MEch. Inf. Command
1x Full Mech. Platoon
1x Full MEch. Platoon
3x M106
4x Vulcans
3x M60
2x ITV
2x ITV
2x Cobras

The right flank Mech. Platoon

Turn 1:

I won the dice roll to start the game. I pushed Forward with my left flank T-64 companies. They also opened up fire on the Infantery and killed one Team. The centre T-64 destroyed one M60 through a tiny gap between the houses. One ITV was bailed from T-64 also.

Flo tried to dig his Footsloggers but was not succesfull. The ITV Crew got into their vehicle and they fired two Missiles on my T-64, killing two... ouch! Morale roll was succesfull. The Vulcans went Forward towards my objective with dashing Speed.

I push my forces forward
Enough to see :)
Enough to kill
Bah... hate this ITV's

Turn 2:

My BRDMs raced Forward on the street to fire on the ITVs. One got baled and the other fled the field. My T-64 destroyed another infantery Team.

Flo took his M60 back a bit. Then his infantery destroyed two BRDM with Dragon Missiles. The left flank ITV destroyed a centre T-64. Then he fired with his Cobras (he forgot to shoot with the vulcans first). My Gaskins destroyed one Cobra. One Cobra just balied one T-64. Then he rembered the vulcans and destroyed the Gaskins in massive Shell storm.

Revenge
My Gaskins... without words

Turn 3:

His right Mech Platoon was now in range to attack them with my T-64. So I drove them Forward. Shooting was not succesfull with them. My centre T-64 missed the Vulcans again. I attcked the infantery then. Without any other choice Flo removed it from the table. The objective was mine.

Flo then opened up with every weapon from his force. He managed to kill one and bail another T-64. That was not enough because it were two companies there (one Company with a singel tank). This single tank was fully operational and secured the objective. His Vulcans moved next to another objective.

So I won this very very Close battle. Maybe with one Cobra more it would have been a defeat,

Run
M60 trying to destroy the T-64... but it was not enough
This last operational T-64 saved my day

    RIP Gaskins, 1000+ rpm is just too much for them. Good report. By the way, where did you get those temples from? I like em.

  • Oberst Hunts says:

    Well done on the report and table. Very commendable.

  • Davehodo says:

    Well played Comrade. Looks like a lot of fun was had by all. Keep those battles and reports coming!!!!

  • Nikolai Zhukuv says:

    He played well and was very short from winning! So no reason to send him to tank school

  • Der Scholinger says:

    Yes we changed the field, but we lack a variation of modern houses and terrain stuff.
    But send me to battle school? Sure a made a mistake forgetting to shoot at the gaskins first but it was a close game at the end. So I think your comment about me is very hard.

    And yeah, US commanders have a cool shoestyle

  • Storm Caller says:

    I would send “Flo”, to battle school. Very poor use of forces assigned given what Flo faced

  • Storm Caller says:

    I like the battle field, yet another Russian victory

  • Nikolai Zhukuv says:

    Strange… why recce103c why the congrats on pact victory? Did you read it or just rate it bad?

  • Nikolai Zhukuv says:

    We changed the terrain… also I posted the video the first time because the ITVS had a big influence on the game

  • recce103c says:
