Battle of Grozny (1994–95) - "Welcome to Hell" Batrep

[Lord Raglan]

As the old Chechen T-55 advances, it is hit by several RPGs rounds, halting the vehicle in its tracks and killing all its crew.



Seeing the Chechen resistance fade, Platoon Commander Stepanov seizes the opportunity to execute a tactical withdrawal down the main street.



The remaining BTR gives covering fire to the infantry.

Great looking table

[Lord Raglan]

Using the cover of the descending darkness and like a scene from the movie Black Hawk Down, Stepanov and what was left of his platoon run alongside the vehicles to finally exit hell.



A relative peace descends once more on this war torn area of Grozny.

[Lord Raglan]

Well done Mr Broom, you kept your cool and fought hard to save the Russian bacon, "winning" the day for the Russians and achieving a success which they failed to do in real life.

 
Its always a pleasure when you visit and I sincerely hope you enjoyed the game as much as me. For those who may not known us, I am the tall, dark ruggedly handsome Welshman, while Rob is, well let's just be polite and just say he is english

Great read!

[Lord Raglan]

Thank you Gents!!!

I do like Bolt Action for modern day skirmish warfare, as a fellow LAFer said to me the other day, it's like a Commando Comic set of rules.

The next terrain project for this conflict is a factory and a dedicated train station with a double set of train tracks with damaged carriages etc.
