The Cold War's gone hot and BOAR is about to mount it's first counter attack on the Warsaw Pact's invaders.
Colonel Faversham of the Royals gives the order and Harry's Chieftains thunder into action!

-
It most certainly is, would a kindly Mod please help?

Meanwhile back at the war...

very nice indeed
-
Thank you T, I'll try and finish the AAR today.

...Harry's Chieftains thunder into action!
:)
All of them?! None have broken down and are in the workshop being repaired? That is a good start. I hope the Colonel's luck holds!
-
Lovely, but you'll need some spare power packs for the Chieftains, if the travel more than two miles.... :D
-
Looks great - what scale is that?

Looks great - what scale is that?
The scale is evergreen 20mm.

What rules are you using?
-
I see there is a bridge but I guess they will cross that bridge when they come to it lol
-
What rules are you using?
A tickled up version of Neil Thomas's OHW WW2 rules to incorporate motorised Infantry. I have to apply the KISS Principle to our games these days, as my opponents are morons!

Harry's Chieftains thunder forward into battle, their meticulously maintained power packs, purring contentedly. Plan is for the armour to hook around the left flank while the Infantry and Artillery FOO hold the centre and right.
The superior fire discipline of the BAOR soon makes itself felt on Ivan...
;)
-
The Warsaw Pact's military incompetence knows no bounds on the opposite flank as their traffic jam is a dream come true to Harry's FOO!!!
Both sides close and the fighting becomes fast paced, confusing and brutal...
:o
-
The killing power of modern weapons was amply demonstrated as smoke and burning hulks littered the fields and meadows. Russian honour was amply restored by the stand of their Infantry in the bombed out farm buildings. Shrugging off missile, shot and shell they broke the BAOR's assault!
Colonel Harry realised it was time for decisive action, his tank powered forward to blast Ivan at point blank range. Sadly, this enormous strain on the tank's power pack was too much and the engine conked out, Harry's Chieftain slid helplessly down the river bank... and out of the fight.
:-[
-
Using the smoke from burning hulks for cover the Battlegroup's Infantry work their way across the river and close on the enemy held farmhouse. A savage CQB wipes out the enemy and as the smoke clears the firing stops. The surviving British Infantry drag a bedraggled CO and his crew from the river...
"Who won Sergeant?"
"We did Colonel!"
;)
-
To be fair the Battlegroup's Coldstream Guardsmen saved Harry's bacon. So they've been rewarded with a heavy weapons Company, piccys to follow.
:)
-
Blimey that got messy lol

Chieftains meets Red Army!!!
