Time for more battle. This past weekend we had s big multi-player game of team yankee. Me and Stan had the good guys, with Americans, French, and Canadians. Facing of the Soviet might if both Duncans. We had 81 points per side as that is just how it worked out.
Scenario wise we did Encounter mainly due to no reserves, but played with hamburger deployment (long wise) as that is how people were standing. We are not taking it super serious!
Mostly deployed, free peoples (was informed France left NATO need a new term?) on the right, communists on the left.
All ready for action.
Turn 1 we fired the missiles we could but allot of inconvenient buildings were in the way. The Soviets advanced and immediately wiped out half the French tanks!
Turn 2 the Warthogs came to save the day and started blowing up tanks, our missiles were much more effective now as well. But the rest of the French pulled back behind the Canadians. Who were doing quit well.
Soviets advancing on the left flank, but being pushed back on the right.
You cant move a d shoot missiles, so ky forces were mostly static with only the Canadians advancing at all. The T72s are mostly gone by now so the tide is turning fast. I decided to attack the Russian artillery with the warthogs and 1 got shot down.
Final few turns. The Canadians had opened up a path so my hummer commander advanced down the road stopping to assault the AA guy.
You can see him now on the objective way in the back. We had a funny moment where he tried to hide behind some buildings, but they turned out to he second stories and all promptly got put back.
But the French tanks took the time to move on top of their hill and kill the last Soviet platoon ither than supports. Heroically winning the game.
Finally the good guys catch a break! I think it had allot to do with us deciding to play long eise which really hurt the T72s which have a lower range. But still allot of fun.
I am contemplating more French now!
Thanks;
Mike
That was a fun game...and not just because the West finally won, lol. I liked the long table and really gotta say the stars of the show were the missile handlers. They were able to reach past the leading edge of Leopards and kept their losses down.
