This weekend I played another game of Team Yankee against the Duncan alliance.
I took a list with French Tanks, French Recon, an Amerucan force with 5 Abhrams and some infantry to make up the points. Also had some Gazelle and Mirage as support.
Russians had lots of T72s in small groups plus infantry and all the choppers.
We used more missions, and both maneuvered giving us Duat Up, which is a fun mission.
Heres the deployment, I decided to attack across the river. I did some spear head moves to flank around and get cover, and kept some tanks back to cover my objectives. I had the Abhrams in Reserve. Russians deployed behind a hill.
Russians got the first turn, but were erriely defensive and didn't move much.
I advanced cautiously trying to keep cover. My main goal is to take out the Shilka so I can have fun with planes. Speaking if witch my Mirage didn't arrive so I opted to keep the Gazelles loitering off table.
The Russians reacted and move what they could up to the ridge to fire, but not to much success. They had a strange tendency to fail fire power
My turn I kept to cover and shit back. Did some good damage to the BMPs. Also have my infantry moving up to block the first road as that is where the reserves will arrive fir the Russians.
Russians brought in the Hinds. My AA from the tanks downed 2, but they still got a bail and a kill. Scary, they are chipping away at my forward units as well.
My turn, still no Mirages, but my commander killed both Shilkas, so the way is clear for my air power. The T72s are starting to get pressured as well.
The Hinds shift back to hammer my recon, I think getting another couple of kills. Sadly no reserves from them so I am still save from the second T72 battalion.
Finally rolled a 4+ for the mirages so I brought on all my air power. My Gazelles went left and shot down the Hinds, Mirafe right to cluster bomb the hill getting everything under the template. I did a poor job ranging in, but still killed a couple of tanks plus a BMP. Also started to get Abhrams coming on to release the retreating French.
Next turn T72s arrive and start assaulting my infantry in the woods. Pushing them back but not to many kills. Not much action on the right flank as most of those T72s are killed.
Next turn I pulled my infantry back a bit. But everything was focused on the right. Need to chip away that infantry to take the hill objective.
Russians advance a bit in the woods, but have terrible rolls and dont kill anything. We are both running out of steam at this point to be honest.
I get my infantry back out to block off the bridge. Bring in some Recon guys from the right to reinforce. On the right all the planes and Abhrams hammer the infantry, they are down to 3 or 4 teams now so getting close.
Russians on the left take the hills to return fire. Killing my last few recon guys.
On my turn the Mirage bomb the tanks on the hill. Thus get me s couple of kills. On the right I moved in to assaulting range.
Sadly by this point it was 5, so we had to call the game due to time. No one was on an objective and both are forces have suffered heavy losses so we decided to call it a draw. I am close to Taking an objective maybe, but I am also just z couple of vehicles from breaking, so seems fair.
Thanks;
Mike
