Battle Report - The Hungarian Border Conflict
Game Three of the big Team Yankee show down saw the Soviets counter attacking the Lyodoslavian - Hungarian border defended by two US mechanised platoons and a pair of VADS AA Tanks (Shilkas as proxies...).
CommodoreRob & Commanderkaiser would take command of the Soviet ground forces and Helicopters, with Oriskany providing top cover in the Frogfoot. The US forces were split between Wayne07 & DaveBPG while Stusidle was keeping a watchful eye in the skies in a pair of A10 Warthogs.
Our story begins at dawn as the Soviets follow the main road heading towards the border crossing, captured by the US forces the previous day.
The US Infantry had spent the night digging foxholes and preparing their defensive positions, hoping to be able to hold out long enough for Armoured and Helicopter support to arrive before the Soviets arrived.
As the ground began to shake and the squeaking noise of treads rolled over the horizon... they realised with a sigh that today might not be their day after all.....

Here we go. Let’s see how this plays out.
Awesome! A good back story is just as that extra pinch of salt to a good game!
surprised to see some zvezda T72s in the pictures 🙂
Stop it, I am so envious! Looks like a great scenario!
So stoked to see the Soviet ZSU-23-4 mobile AA units make an appearance – my favourite looking unit in the game so far.
Interested to see how dug in infantry fare vs all that armour.
Interesting lead in! Is there anyway to soften up the foxholes?
