A few more pics from Force-on-Force material re: The Chechen War (technically, 1st one).
I believe the Second Chechen War saw a bit of a downgrade in some Russian Federation armored units, the T-64/80 plants were mostly in the Ukraine (Khar’kov) so by the 2000s they didn’t have as many. They had to revert to the T-72, expand / advance it to the T-90, which I don’t know if any saw action in 2000s Chechnya. (??)
So we’ve been playing around with the idea of pushing Barry Doyle’s Valor & Victorysystem further into the modern era. We’ve already done WW2 into Vietnam (late 1960s), I thought an interesting next step might be early 80s with Operation Peace for Galilee – the 1982 Israeli invasion of Lebanon.
Just starting out here. This was one night. Other factions will include Syrian Army, various irregulars (Palestinian Liberation Army / Arab Liberation Army / Hezbollah), Phalange Christian militants, maybe even French and US Marine peacekeepers if this gets pushed into 1983 and beyond.
Might see these in action as early as this weekend, if all goes well.
British Armoured vs US Armoured.
Rippach Stream mission from the Stripes book. Updates to follow….
US turn 1 complete. Two Cheiftans and two Scorpions burning. But British return fire is coming up…
Brutal turn! Brits boil up 3 Abrams while the US return fire only takes out one Cheiftan and two Scorpions. Brits still have most of their missile teams left as well! ?
The British left flank collapses under pin point accurate fire and the weight of charging Abrams!
US victory on turn 7!
the Abrams that charged the flank opened up on the rear of the Cheiftans and destroyed all of them in an incredible display of firepower.
The remaining US forces move in convoy through the burning wrecks of British APC’s and Strikers.
With a break out achieved, the US forces capitalise on their gains and prepare for the next engagement.
