The T-80 just completely out-classed the Leopard I in this game, even with sophisticated artillery and ATGMs, NATO fought hard just for the few kills they managed to get. This was a dramatic Warsaw Pact win. I imagine the NATO counter attack will feature M1's from the newly arrived III US Corps that will try to seal off the breakthrough :) <br /><br />This was also without airpower and no attack aviation. Some TOW or HOT firing helicopters might have turned the tide as well!<br /><br />The NATO plan was to have the infantry dismount in the treeline but even that never came to fruition! THey were too busy falling back!Disgruntled Fusilierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10995610821904415726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-33670049771767530822014-09-23T19:52:12.591-04:002014-09-23T19:52:12.591-04:00Paul,

Somehow, 15mm doesn't do it justice. Microarmor is probably the way to go.<br /><br />It was alot of fun. The higher armor values make for a much tougher game.

I was wrong there! It might be interesting so see how a NATO counter-offensive would go...Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1194255716971534690.post-48045300613607219952014-09-23T18:09:20.018-04:002014-09-23T18:09:20.018-04:00What fun!

The table looks great!<br /><br />I used to play quote a bit of moderns (which is now the '80s of course) and always preferred the smaller scales so I could incorporate attack helicopters and get the engagement ranges looking about right. Ive also played in 2mm using company sized bases which was pretty cool tooPaul O'Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611720164170399684noreply@blogger.com
