First match in the tournament held yesterday in Baden (near Zurich, Switzerland).
My opponent played a Soviet Motor Rifle (see army lists).

We both choose to defend, and the mission rolled was Free-for-All.

I choose the defend the right side of the table, mostly because of the presence of the fast food restaurant.
With a spearhead movement, I was able to seize the high building and others key terrains, I managed this way to place my MILAN section in a dominating high ground.
I decided to leave my Air Assault platoon loitering off table.

My opponent had the first turn and pushed his T72, BMPs, Shilkas forward. During his shooting I lost one of my Striker.
I blitzed forward my Recce in order to eliminate the AA assets and gain air superiority for the remainder of the game, which luckily happened. The Strikers killed 2 T72s.

T72s continued to push forward and were able to destroy a Striker and bail another, they fled the battlefield.
Next threat for me were the BMPs which received a heavy and precise fire from my rocce units and MILANs. Harriers arrived and managed to severely damage the Soviet artillery.
This phase took us a couple of turns, were we both shoot at each other causing heavy casualties (all recce platoons were at half strength, BMPs and artillery gone).

In the final round, I entered my Air Assault infantry, on the southern objective, but time was up and the game was a draw.

    good report. It will go well in your record (shamelessly stolen from She Wore A Yellow Ribbon). Nicely done with unit symbols
