Last night my regular opponent and I had a good and intense round of Cold War Commander. Being from Denmark we are playing linked games concentrating around an invasion in Køge Bugt on the eastern side of Zeeland. Most of the Danish army would deploy in norther Germany in case of en Warsaw Pact attack but one brigade would stay home and defend the capital from an expected amphibious assault in Køge Bugt. I few week back we played the amphibious landing which luckily went well for the Warsaw Pact forces. Last night it was the time for Sjællandske Brigade to counter attack the beachhead. We basically used the same terrain but moved it all forward to clear the beaches. The village with the road inland that the Warsaw Pact forces had taken in the first scenario would now be their strong point.
The Danish have 50% larger force and have access to preplanned artillery and air attacks.

The Warsaw Pact forces deployed first. Their right (red arrow) was heavily defended with two platoons of infantry and one platoon of recoilless riffles, all in trenches and protected by barbed wire. The village was held by two T80 tanks (yellow arrow) and a platoon of spetsnaz and BMP´s with spandrel. There was nothing on the field to the left except barbed wire.

Turn one start of with a massive smokescreen from the Danish artillery. Under cover of the smoke the danes advance in front of the village with two platoon of Leopard tank and af company of infantry in APC. On the right a platoon of combat engineers in marders advances under the smoke in a clever flank attack.

Turn two the smokescreen advances to cover the advancing Danish forces

But then disaster strikes as first the Danish heaviest unit, 4 leopard 2, drive straight in to a big minefield on their right. No tanks are lost but the platoon grind to a halt with multiple hits and suppression markers. The really big disaster though is the failure of the combat engineers to move, as their commander fails his command role. There are stranded in their marders right in front of the Warsaw Pact infantry and recoilless rifles with their protective smokescreen way ahead toward to village. Grinning, the Warsaw Pact infantry pull out their RPG7’s and make short work of the marders and combat engineers. The recoilless rifles managed to suppress two of the leopard 2’s.

Turn three the Danish smokescreen is moved to the left of the village to allow the platoon of Leopard 1’s to outflank the Warsaw Pact forces. As the tanks move through the tree line they also run into a big minefield. Damage is luckily minimum but one tank is suppressed. Three BMP’s lie in ambush (red arrow), but with all the smoke they can’t find targets for their spandrel ATGW. The leopards on the other hand use their thermal sights to see through the smoke and easily take out the three BMP’s.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0340_zps1xtowofm.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0340_zps1xtowofm.jpg.html)
With the success on the left the Danes decide to assault the village with their infantry. Unfortunately two platoons are caught in a massive naval artillery bombardment and the ones that aren’t killed straight out are taken out by deadly spetsnaz and T80 fire. With most of their infantry annihilated and both their tank platoon stranded in mine fields things are not looking great for the Danes.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0342_zpsdbheaswz.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0342_zpsdbheaswz.jpg.html)
Turn fore finally sees some result front the Danish artillery other than smoke. The Warsaw Pact infantry line in trenches, are hit by two batteries causing multiple hits and suppressions. The leopard 2’s managed to clear the minefield and join in on the attack. When the smoke clears only two of the six squads are left standing. Sadly two of the leopard 2’s are lost in the maneuver from mines and recoilless rifle fire. On the left the leopard 1’s also manage to clear the minefields and swing around the village and engage and destroy the two T80. Only successes for the Warsaw Pact forces are an assault from the spetsnaz on two of the Danish infantry squads in the village.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0343_zpssxrvcc8p.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0343_zpssxrvcc8p.jpg.html)
By turn five both forces had reached their breakpoint, but the Danish high moral kept then fighting on. The leopard 1’s continued through the village and engaged an infantry squad that had gotten stranded way out on the right. In the village the Danish infantry kept their head down in expectation of another spetsnaz assault. The Warsaw Pact also managed to keep their forces going but disaster stroke as the CO failed a command role calling in some heavy mortar support fire.
Turn six saw most of the remaining Warsaw Pact infantry destroyed by tank fire and the spetsnaz platoon in the village was all that was really left standing in any shape to continue fighting. This broke the moral of the Warsaw Pact forces and the battle ended with a Danish major victory for breaking the opposing forces and a Warsaw Pact minor victory for destroying 25% of the opposing forces.
It was a great battle and for a long time the result could have gone either way. The Warsaw Pact forces played an excellent defensive battle and the Danish commander made some really stupid moves mainly in the beginning when the combat engineers were lost without firing a shot and the tank platoons where slow to get out of the minefields. In the end the Warsaw forces were too weak to capitalize on the Danish bad situation in turn two and three. The Danes were able to regroup and with the massive artillery bombardment in turn fore the battle was pretty much over for the Warsaw Pact forces.
We decided that this was not a push back into the sea but a containment of the beachhead. Next time the Warsaw Pact will have to fight a Breakthrough scenario to get through the Danish defensive lines.
-
It was a great battle.
I felt I had the Danes on the ropes for the entire game. I even took out a HQ unit.
But then that cursed artillery bombardment completely broke the back of my army.
-
Nice little AAR, sounds like it was an exciting game.
In particular I like the terrain and the explosion counters.
-
Very nice report indeed. May I ask what scale models you're using? The whole set-up looks really rather good.
-
Great AAR & great table. Love the explosion markers!
-
Thanks for the nice comments about the terrain. I cant take credit for the blastmarkes as they are the work of my opponent as well as the barbed wire.
The miniatures are all 6 mm from Heroics and Ros. Not as nice as the ones from GHQ but you cant beat the price and especially the fact that you buy the models single instead of in packs.
-
Great report
-
Cool!
I have quite a few Danes and Russians painted at this scale
-
You´re on Dr. Viking. Next time you join us.
-
You´re on Dr. Viking. Next time you join us.
I just had a look and I have around 10 Leopard A1 and 10 M113.
I also have a host of Russian stuff. All kinds and sorts.
The thing that stalled the project was actually the Russians... the looooong barrels of the tanks keep bending! What to do!? I though about replacing them with piano wire.
-
How are you on other stuff like infanntry and artillery?
I made plans with Dr. Z to have you guys command the ruskies in our next game.
-
How are you on other stuff like infanntry and artillery?
I made plans with Dr. Z to have you guys command the ruskies in our next game.
I have 6 or so 'selvkørende' artillery pieces for both.
I have zero infantry painted.
Commanding the Soviet superpower will be great!

The invasion continious. With the succesfull counterattack on the beachhead the Warsaw Pact forces really have their backs to the sea. The danes have managed to halt the invasion and build a defensive line to contain the attackers until help can hopefully arrive. The Warsaw Pact forces will try and concentrate the strengh to break through the Danish defencive lines and reach the infrastructure behind the Danish lines.
The game is set for wedensday but I just thought I would give you a sneak view of the table. We are using the large 300x180 cm board. The large hill to the left will probably need a bit more scenery but other than that the board is ready.

The red bear is planning something very sneaky. Or is it...?
-
Looking good, like the waves, the little buildings, that bus, mirror ball, what?!
Even though I have acces to this basement room most of the time and can leave the table standing after and between gaming my kinds also have some claim to the room. I cant rembember when they put up the mirror ball but its been there for quite some time. I like to think that is showes what a versatile hobby room it is lol

Saturday Nights Zombies is a game I'd play.

That's no mirror ball......

Wednesday we played our third game of the invasion of Køge Bugt i Denmark. The Warsaw Pact forces were on their heels after having had their beachhead hit hard by a Danish counter attack. The Danes established a defensive ring around the Warsaw Pact beachhead and now they were forces to try and break out. Concentrating their force the Warsaw Pact had numerical superiority on a minor part of the Danish defenses. In games term this meant that the Warsaw Pact forces had 4000 points to spend and the Danes 2000 points.
(I am afraid a missed a deployment foto so words will have to do >:()
The Danes deployed first. On the right a platoon of infantry armed with Carl Gustav ATGW in trenches defended the Danish flank and were ready to take on anything coming through the forest in front of then. Behind them the Danish counter forces consisting of four leopard 1A4 took up position in a forest ready to strike when the moment was right . On the Danish left the defense anchored on a large forest filed with nasty looking infantry in marders and combat engineers. The plan was to stop anyone going through this way and possibly attack any weakened forces close to the forest. This left the middle and the extreme left undefended but here unmarked minefields secured that no one would get through in a hurry and the tank squadron or the infantry in the forest would be able to finish of anything that made it through. In the skies two F-4 Phantom II were ready on call to strike ground targets.
The Warsaw Pact forces deployed a large tank squadron of T80 tanks on the left and a whole company of Ural farm boys supported by a platoon of recoilless rifles in BMP’s on the right. They sent two platoons of spetznaz in BMP’s on a flank attack.
The target for the Warsaw Pact forces was the Køge highway which was still surprisingly busy considering the heavy fighting that had been going on around the nearby village. They would claim a minor victory for holding this part of the table and a major for exiting 25 % of their forces of the board.

Turn one saw very little action as the Warsaw Pact forces advanced and the Danes kept their heads down. By turn two the Warsaw Pact forces were getting close and particular the platoon of recoilless rifles mounted in BMP’s were of concern for the Danes.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0390_zpsg3c12nhp.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0390_zpsg3c12nhp.jpg.html)
First of they were hit by an F-4 Phantom II airstrike which destroyed one and suppressed another.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0389_zps7yngbmws.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0389_zps7yngbmws.jpg.html)
The Leopards then moved out of their cover to finish them off. One leopard was suppressed by a spandrel attack from the remaining functional BMP but after that the BMP’s were taken out by the leopard tanks together with the recoilless rifle platoon.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0391_zpsjqyazmmm.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0391_zpsjqyazmmm.jpg.html)
On turn three the Warsaw Pact sent in their flanking force on the right. Luckily for the Danes they failed their second command role and did not get very fare.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0393_zpscafbe17t.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0393_zpscafbe17t.jpg.html)
The smiles quickly stiffened though as the evil, no good commy bastards launched a massive chemical artillery bombardment on the Danish tank squadron and their commander and FAC. With a lot of hits and all of them suppressed everybody though it was all over for the leopards. The T80’s crossed the hedge and engage them. Through a stroke of miracle and bad command roles the Leopards all managed to survive the assault.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0394_zps5het1sea.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0394_zps5het1sea.jpg.html)
It was time for the Danes to strike back but with the leopards suppressed it was up to the marders in the forest on the right to take care of things with their 20 mm autocannon. They only made it to the edge of the forest though, as their commander failed his second command role. The unsuppressed Danish FAC in the middle of the board still had a chance as well but he failed to contact the Phantoms flying over the battlefield.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0397_zpso2seuclk.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0397_zpso2seuclk.jpg.html)
Beginning of turn four the marders got a bit back when they managed to suppress two of the spetznaz carrying BMP’s when they tried to move.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0398_zps1lzwud2j.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0398_zps1lzwud2j.jpg.html)
The rest got away though and now it was time for the Danish forces in the forest to fell the communist chemical touch. Chemical artillery bombardment is really nasty. Especially when deployed as barrage. It covers a 60x20 cm area where everybody gets suppressed on top of the 6 in open, no amour hits. Nobody was killed but everybody including the HQ got suppressed.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0399_zpsyytmgtbs.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0399_zpsyytmgtbs.jpg.html)
The Warsaw Pact forces had cleverly laid out their chemical smoke so that only a small corridor remained open in the middle. Now the T80 tanks made for this opening. Unfortunately the Danes had placed a minefield just there and the tanks got bogged down with three suppressions in the initial hit.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0400_zpsrtjqnmzp.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0400_zpsrtjqnmzp.jpg.html)
Concluding that no goats no glory the communist tank commander pressed forward taking even more hits and suppressions. Two tanks made it through though.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0401_zpsjbeywn3b.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0401_zpsjbeywn3b.jpg.html)
This was the chance the Danish tank squadron had been waiting with the enemy tank caught and suppressed in the minefield. Unfortunately they were themselves in a sticky situation as the chemical smoke remained around them. Only one made it out without getting suppressed, but the T80’s were hit by a Phantom airstrike as well. Not enough to really damage the T80’s though.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0402_zpsi92ctzy8.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0402_zpsi92ctzy8.jpg.html)
By turn five the spetznaz and the two T80 tanks that made it through the minefields made it to the highway. On their way the two T80 overran the FAC in front of them.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0403_zpsf4dcokkd.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0403_zpsf4dcokkd.jpg.html)
The rest of the tanks where still struggling with suppression and the conscript infantry on foot was making slow progress. Their Hq ran into another minefield which was bad news for him but saved the conscript from doing it themselves. Before moving into the minefield the Hq called in yet another chemical bombardment. This time on the so fare unengaged Danish infantry on the right flank. By now we had run out of wool as the chemical smoke remains on board but you can still get an impression of the Warsaw forces plan of cutting the table in two, capturing the Danish forces on the “wrong” side of the chemical smoke curtain while the spetznaz made it for exit zone.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0404_zps8thq8zak.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0404_zps8thq8zak.jpg.html)
Closeup of the right flank with more chemical smoke and minefields. All the Danish tanks finally had the T80 in the flank but through a string of bad dice rolling and poor command ditto every Warsaw tank made through the onslaught. The infantry on the Danish left crawled out of the chemical smoke getting multiple suppressions for their troubles.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0405_zps2fees6tu.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0405_zps2fees6tu.jpg.html)
By turn six the Spetznaz crossed the highway and the Danish forces now had no chance of stopping them exiting the board and earning the Warsaw force an major victory. The leopard tank where given a final chance of destroying the T80, but once again they completely blew it. By this time we stopped the game.
It had been a really interesting game. Even though the Warsaw forces had more or less run the game as they had planned the Danish forces had many chances of getting back in the game. The marders for instance had a great chance of destroying the BMP’s carrying the spetznaz thereby completely ruining the Warsaw Pact plan. The T80 were also really lucky not getting destroyed by the multiple minefield, Phantom and leopard tank hits. The Warsaw Pact plan of cutting the table in two was really clever and they followed it by the book and did not get tempted to halt and engage tempting enemy targets. Even though my opponent promises he won’t use chemical artillery strikes in every game I really have to find some way of coping with then. We also agreed that its good solid Warsaw Pact strategy to drown the opponent in chemical gas and drive through the enemy lines while they are suppressed by the gas.
Next game will be the Exploitation scenario as the Warsaw Pact forces strike the rear of the Danish lines. Another game of very unequal forces and this time the Danes won’t be able to employ of board artillery as the enemy has hit their rear where the artillery is deployed. That is bad news because on board artillery cannot engage in counterbattery combat which at the moment is my only plan of countering the Warsaw Pact chemical artillery strikes.
Hopefully help will some arrive as the Danes are hard pressed and the enemy has the Copenhagen skyline in their sights.
-
It truly was a great game. My plan really came together. But even if I had lost. The look on your faces as the chemical bombardments kept coming was totally worth it. :D 8)

Great AAR

The Khmer Rouge; in the pay of the Danes since 1985.

Our communist invasion of Zeeland continuous with an Exploitation scenario last night. The Danes have to stop the Warsaw Pact forces from holding the center third of the table (major victory) or the furthest third of the table (minor victory). The Warsaw Pact forces have it the other way around.
The Danes deployed a platoon of three leopard 2 tanks at that back of the large hill on the left and infantry and mortar in the village in the center supported by two leopard 1 tanks.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0399_zpsj432jq3x.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0399_zpsj432jq3x.jpg.html)
The Warsaw Pact forces enter with a whole company of conscripts mounted on trucks and two platoons of T80 tanks supported by a BRDM ATGW platoon and some AA on a BMP.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0401_zpsrppmufeh.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0401_zpsrppmufeh.jpg.html)
On the second turn they are already close to the village. The Danes try to take out some of their recce vehicles with BO 105 attack helicopter but with no luck.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0404_zpsnrzbtcww.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0404_zpsnrzbtcww.jpg.html)
The BRDM platoon brings their spandrels within range and start hitting the leopard 2 on the hill. Simultaneously the Warsaw Pact flank attack arrives with spetznaz and BMP. More spandrel and RPG fire take out a leopard and suppresses another.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0406_zpskenb5btl.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0406_zpskenb5btl.jpg.html)
The Danes bring helicopter support to halt the onslaught and they manage to take out some of the enemy unit and suppress other. Finally they move of the hill to get out of sight of the ATGW platoon.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0408_zpsq0lsuqjm.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0408_zpsq0lsuqjm.jpg.html)
Mean vile something goes terribly wrong with the communication on the communist right as the whole company of conscripts are stranded in their trucks right in front of a Danish infantry platoon deployed in the forest to the right of the village.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0411_zpspdskf0b6.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0411_zpspdskf0b6.jpg.html)
Now things turn from bad to worse for the Warsaw Pact forces as through a string of failed command roles from their CO the too large platoons of T80 tanks as well as the ATGW platoon strand for three turn leaving the conscripts and spetznaz to fend for themselves. Some artillery hit the Danish infantry but nothing serious and the company of conscripts as taken out along with their recce unit on the hill in front of the village.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0413_zpsiuzh3ibj.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0413_zpsiuzh3ibj.jpg.html)
On the left the Danish helicopters and leopard tanks take out the spetznaz and their hq.

Picture of the stranded communist tanks. At this point all their on table infantry has been killed.

Finally the T80 tanks get going again. But as their crest the hill in front of the village the Danes concentrate all their fire on the tanks. Both from the forces in the village, now support by an infantry platoon armed with Carl Gustav IATW brought in from the reserves and the leopard 2 tanks that are ready to join in after having finished of the flanking force. On top of all this two attack helicopters also hit the communists with rocket fire.
(http://i1382.photobucket.com/albums/ah242/guntzelnick/DSC_0420_zps5ncfzura.jpg) (http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/guntzelnick/media/DSC_0420_zps5ncfzura.jpg.html)
The result is deadly. All eight tanks are either suppressed or burning and the Warsaw Pact forces are forces to retreat giving the Danes the entire table and a firm major victory.
This was a truly enjoyable game for the Danes but a very frustrating one for the communists. The Danes also had their share of bad luck but the continuous failed command roles from the communist CO meant that the Warsaw Pact forces couldn’t support each other and the Danes were able to take them out on at a time.
The communist were actually closer to victory that this report might suggest as both their hq were rather fare ahead of the rest of the communist forces by the end of the game. They could have had a chance of bringing in further reinforcements, had the communist moral held, thereby putting a lot of pressure on Danes. That being said the communist were down to a CV6 to stay in the game.
It seems now that the Danes have finally stops the communist advance and rumor has it that the Americans are racing up from Germany to help out the Danes. Next time it will be the Warsaw Pact forces turn to be on the defensive.
-
Next time I will bring my own dice. Yours are obviously cursed and/or rigged >:(
It was not just my CO failing command rolls left and right. But also my two HQ units kept failing. With commanders as inept as this it is hard to win games..
If only my left flank HQ had brought in the combat engineers and Spetsnaz from reserves when he was supposed to your Leopard II's would have been ripped to shreds and the game would have been over by turn three. But nooo the Ruski commi bastards insisted on blundering about the battlefield getting shot to pieces..
All survivors are now on an express train to a Sibirean Gulag for "reeducation".

Great series of AAR's. Look forward to more and more games. Terrain looks really good.
Thanks for posting :D
Cheers
