Bobs Fictional Countries

With the above background written it was easy to put context to the 1st meeting encounter game for the group:

After a brief but bloody fight a Volgan armoured group has beaten of the 1st initial defence by Dunheeps miltia’s and is advancing into the hinterland of the island along the main island East West highway and is about to enter the area of a small tractor repair faciltity and coal depot at Denechoidea where two important cross roads are located . Unfortunately a small holding force has been put together by the Mercians and is approaching the depot from the opposite direction:

Volgan Forces

2x T64 tanks

2x T55M tanks

1x BMP1

1x BMP2

Mercians

1x M1a1 tank

1x M1 tank

2x M901 ATV

1x Hmmv with TOW

I got a few shots of game but was busy umpiring and running rules so didnt record a blow by blow but

The Volgans sent their armour up the main road and were immedialty engaged by both the Abrams and M901’s forcing them to go to ground.

The BMPS split up and tried to advance up the flanks, the BM2 got bogged downt trying to move through the Tractor factory but the BMP1 quickly dispatched the HMMV before it could engage them. In the meanwhile the tow T64’s becam the main focus of the rest of the Mercian force, with one being pounded to scrap, only damaging one of the ATV’s forcing it to take cover in response.

Keithski the Volgan commander decided to be bold and try and overwhelm the by now well entrenched Mercians and attempted to advance , by the time he had reached the position in the 1st picture above , he had all of his tanks hit and down to half hull for token damage on the Mercians and decided to withdraw ( it was home time and the group wanted to go back to the main game of Kill Team Space Hulk which we have been playing for weeks)

What  next

Well the stage has been set for a rematch from above, the Volgans will obviously want to attack again and the Mercians will want to respond with whatever forces can reach the area. So a need to do a reinforcements table for boths sides (dependant on my painting shedule).
