Battle Report Move 3

Anyone wondering what the D20’s are for   nothing gamewise, they are just to remind me what the order of the activations are for this report.

So Fight fans a we entered the 3rd move the plucky Mercians have destroyed one Vogan unit and reduced a 2nd to 50% strength.

But are Vogan Bear is not out of it yet  he is more than able to shrug off these gnat bites.

So after a Justin Swish its on with the next move..

So dice back in bag 2 green are drawn in succession ( Anyone wondering I reduced the Mercian dice back to 6 now there were only 6 Volgan units).

Again the HMMV’s and the 2nd Platoon of M901’s opened fire  this time on the 3 T72M’S they could see , the HMMV’s had the range and killed 2, and the M901’S picked on the survivor dispatching him with two hits.

 

Next up was a Red  which I put on the BMP-2’S. I could have returned fire at the HMMV’s on 4’s but at best was going to get only shot  and their was still a unit of M901’s which with their Hammerheads Gone to Ground ability meant I would have been on 6’s. So I decided to move both behind the safety of the line of trees.

I then made a couple of mistakes in hindsight . I drew a red dice . I should have put it on the T64’s and moved them into cover  instead I put it on the T72M’S racing them up the road and into the gap between the fast food restaurant and the garage.

This mistake meant that when the M1A1HC’S activated next , they could not only target the 3 T64’S but the trailing T72M   which hadn’t quiet made it.

As it happened one of the M1A1HC’S failed again to enter the woods and could not get a line of site. The result still ended with 2 dead T64’s , killing one undamaged and one of the bailed out ones. The T72M died with 2 shots blasting into its side.

I now drew a red  and realising the their was nothing else that could get a line of sight on T64’s  so decided to move the T55’s all this time succeeded in the crossing the difficult terrain initially but two got stuck at the stream once they got through the woods.

Another red allowed me to now move the T64’S into cover.

With all the Targets now out of site  the next two green dice moved the Assault Gun and the 1st M901 platoon into the buildings spanning the main highway.

The final green was drawn, leaving 2 red  which left The BMP1s and the Volgan Commander   to activate  so the M1 with its weaker armour stayed put.

The BMP1’s themselves were safe with a good line of fire into the built up area so stayed put.

The Commander of the Vogans took the risk and moved to fire on the pesky HMMV’S which had killed far to many of his lads and neatly blew one to bits  which wasn’t much of a salve for 6 dead tanks.

Unfortunately the remaining HMMV’S morale held and remains on the field.

Great work, @bobcockayne – I love a big chunky battle report! And of course your alternate history setting allows a fresh take on a popular genre.

Oh man … M109 SPHs firing on T-72s … was that “supposed” to happen or were they using “Copperhead” style smart antitank howitzer ammo?
