Firestorm: Stripes

Once again, the Red forces were absent on the battlefield forcing the West Germans to defend the homeland from invading Americans. The forces took the field in the wee hours of the morning so without a moon it was quite dark and maneuvering was hampered by the low visibility. The two forces slowly pushed forward in the edge of town where some factory buildings met the edge of the small homes and church. The Germans were able to lay several mine fields to try and prevent the Americans from rushing forces forward and emplaced their many Milan launchers across the terrain to cover all major avenues of approach. The Americans were very cautious and only probed back and forth across their front without pushing forward until later in the battle. The American use of laser guided missiles and jump-jet salvo attacks came after sum rise and proved quite deadly to the German forces who had to continually remove forces to the rear. Tragic losses to our Gepards crippled our ADA umbrella and allowed the harriers to hammer our armor forces. In the end our infantry held the field and prevented the Americans from gaining the last objective on the field and we Germans held out for the victory.
