West German counterattack at Frankfurt. This battle was an absolute bloodbath with the Russian forces mauling the West Germans. I decided to try a few new approaches to my list building including using more Leopard 1s and running with a smaller list at 65pts. Here was the ensuing carnage.
65 Points
The Soviet push into Germany has been swift and brutal. The West German defenders have been forced to attempt a counter attack to try and destabilize the Soviet forces in the region whilst preserving their own ground. Heavy fighting in the cities as many heavy armor units are still in rearguard positions forcing Panzergrenadiers and older but still reliable Leopard 1s to tackle the enemy push. Every effort must be made to halt the red menace from pushing ever further into the German heartland and secure our precious factories for NATO.
This battle was our first depart from the norm of 100 pts as we wanted to tailor down so tournament play wouldn't be so shocking when list making time comes. Here was our resulting battle.
Nice report as always. Regroup and assault the Reds.
Damn, those Leo 2s eat up a lot of points. Good job on the report, have an extra star for that Luchs pun that made me laugh.
Tough loss but nice report! Hoping to pull one out with this scenario tonight!
Nice looking table and a great AAR!
I didn’t know about that Red Alert thanks for the heads up!
Sad to see NATO forces destroyed in such brutal manner. Nice AAR. And good pictures.

All out of Luch.
Good battle report, and a note – if you include a Youtube video, make sure that there is a text belt over and under, the videos otherwise obscure photos.
