Team Yankee - Fire Storm Part 2

Hello All,

This Sunday was our club day, once again we are continuing with the Cokd War campaign.

We only had 2 Soviet players vs 3 NATO so I teamed up with Francis to fight Duncan, French  and Canadians vs Ryssian and Poland.

I took more or less my normal French stuff and Francia had a bit of everything Canadian.

Mission is dust up.

The French decided that the Canadians would start on and bear the brunt, leaving them to come later and claim the glory. Do I just had a tank commander and flight of Mirages to start.

Ready for action.

We killed a few tanks but the mostly Poles push back hard.

Next turn the Mirages fly on but fail to range on hmm... allot of Leopards are going down so we are felling pressed for sure. But knocking out T-55s as well.

Bad guys keep the pressure and kill my commander. The M113 TOWs are gone and ADATs being chipped away.

Still no reserves this blood bath is making me nervous.

Only 1 Leopard left now, not good.

And he gets killed.

Finally the French arrive and immediately start to crush the Polish flank. Killing their anti-air unit giving me jets more space. The Hinds then come on but are dealt a brutal blow by the ADATs and AA if the tanks. I think they are being quite over aggresive flying straight in like that instead of picking a few of the end. So only a couple of French tanks go down.

But more T-72s coming as well.

Next turn the French recon vehicles arrive,  I use 1 platoon to support my push and the other heads down to help defend. Looking back probably should have sent both down. Sadly no jets.

Soviets keeping up the fight bug allot of the original stuff is killed.

Next turn the Gazelles come and shoot up the last BMP, leaving the tanks to start pounding the infantry. Our hunting of the T-72s is not going so well thou, they keep making saves.

Rest of the tanks show up. We have a problem now as there are not many thing back there to kill them and they are heading to an open objective.

Mirages cluster bomb the infantry so that objective is now clear, but next turn the Soviet tanks move on the objective. Only 2 French armored cars to tell them no, but the M113s ar2 coming.

The T-72s kill one but the other passes his morale!

He moves to contest but misses his shot. The M113s also move out. All the French tanks move on the open objective. Next turn we can win.

The Soviets kill my recon guy but miss the M113! But sadly they are a quarter inch t9 far to contest. We could have used follow me to get in, but some how we never noticed until to late.

Ah well very close and fun game!


Heres a few shots of what elsexwas going on:

Big Fire and Sword Game

More Canadians. Wonder why they are so popular? Hah

Well that's all for now, have a good one.


Thanks;
