Cold War Hot AAR - Part 2

And so the game begins...

NATO Deployment

Photobucket
A troop of Scimitars (those Scorpions you see are actually Scimitars - OK?) deploy forward of the FEBA supported by a couple of Spartans. On the other flank,well out of picture, a small unit of Panzer-Grenadiers take residence on a couple of buildings, which hide their Marders.

Photobucket
A lone Gepard guards the bridge - which despite the German locations, looks remarkedly like Pegasus Bridge!

Deployment of the Soviets

Photobucket
On NATO's left flank and platoon of BRDMs from the Recon Company scout ahead.

Photobucket
In the centre is the Recon Company's CO in a BRM, which a support platoon in BMP-2s.

Photobucket
On NATO's right flank is the BRDM mounted AT Company.

A massive Soviet Preliminary bombardment comes down on the NATO forward positions, destroying both the Spartans (and the chaps inside) and also taking out both the Marders. The Panzer-Grenadiers have lost their transport, but grimly dig in to hold up the Soviet advance.

Photobucket
On the left, BRDMs lead the T-80 company forward.

Photobucket
Meanwhile, on the right the AT company advances down the road towards a small village as if on a Victory parade through Red Square.

Photobucket
The British troops on the other side of the river mount up and start to cross the pontoon bridge in their Warriors.

Photobucket
The T-72 company enters the table and start to advance through the dense terrain.

Photobucket
The happy-go-lucky AT Company continues into the village, obviously trusting that Milans and Pzf-44s cannot dent their armour protection.

Photobucket
A close up of the tragedy that is about to unfold on the AT Company.

Photobucket
A successful round of shooting from the West German Pzr-Gren takes care of the Victory parade!

Across the other side of the table from the exploding AT Company - the Scimitars tried to see how their Rarden cannon went up against BRDM armour.

Photobucket
Not to badly actually!

Photobucket
So the T-80s take over

Photobucket
Photobucket
And in a couple of rounds of shooting take care of the majority of the Scimitars

Tomorrow night in Part 3 is the conclusion of the game...

Have fun
