We played the Hard Road East Scenario with 800 point battle groups.
The Russians had more Scouts and got the first turn
 |
| Livi's T-35 |
This is action in the centre of the table Livi's T-35 was our sole Vanguard unit and held out for a three turns, My Bt-7s with tank riders stormed up the road in the face of David's Panzer 3s and German infantry
 |
| David's Panzer 4s Burning |
Sparky got these Panzers 4s into a blocking position but a sole BT-7 knocked these 2 out, with two Panzer 2 rolling a Beyond the call of Duty twice in the battle. A hero of the Soviet Unit, the crew of that BT-7 was forced to bail and was cut down by a German mg crew. This is the very tank below lurking in a wood with one of his burning victims. note he had fired 8 shots at this point
 |
| Hero of the Soviet Union! |
 |
| Livis Guard rocket battery |
The rocket battery only fired once in the game, Livi normally only does a barrage but I asked he deploy on the field. Dont do this it is a serious tactical MISTAKE
 |
| David's Panzer 3s |
 |
| David's Panzer 2s |
The German's nearly took all of the objectives and came forward , the Russians had to mass the BT-7s for the counter attack and the Stal, Stal rule got us back in the game
 |
| David's infantry |
 |
| David's trucks |
David brought his trucks right in the forward zone of the battle to stay in the fight.
 |
| Livis T-34s |
The T-34s delivered consistent fire power and held off the Germans to give us time to build reserves, Livi sent this T-34 forward on reserve move right into the Panzer 3s. Again a great set of rules which delivered a see saw battle
