The Colonel and I decided to have another go at a Total War scenario with me setting up the table this time. We ended up playing Total Victory again with 250 points each. I went for a mixed US Army and Marine force while the Colonel fielded two formations of T72s and a formation of T64s.
Gunnery Sergeant Howard sat on the rock in the centre of the position looking at the contents of his MRE and deciding if he was hungry or not when the Skipper came over fresh from orders. Combat Team 2 had been resting for the last few days after the last push. They had received some replacements from Stateside and had their tanks some much needed repairs. Their M60s weren't as new as the Army's M1s but the Marine Tankers knew how to use them.
The "Duke" CT2's CO squatted down next to Howard. "Gunny, we've been given orders to move to Brandenburg. NATO are pushing the commies back and we're taking the fight to them. Get the Platoon Leaders in for orders. Oh and have word to the guys will you. We're with Army on this one. I don't want them stealing everything off them."
Gunny Howard looked at his CO with a smile and thought, Oh great.... Army.........
At this stage the Soviets have lost ten T72s, two T64s and their BMP OP vehicle, while the US have lost two M60A1s and a IPM1.
So far the Soviets have lost seven T64s, fourteen T72s, one BMP2, one BMP OP and an Infantry team. The US have lost two IPM1s, two M1s, two M60A1s and two Infantry stands.
The T64 Battalion also have to take a Formation Morale test which they fail as well. At the moment the Soviets have lost twenty-two T72s, eleven T74s, eight BMP2s, one BMP OP and an Infantry team. The T64 Battalion on the right flank and the T72 Battalion on the left flank have both broken and left the field, leaving the T72 Battalion in the centre to fight on. The US have lost two M60A1s, two IPM1s, two M1s and three Marine teams.
