The mine(fields) of möhria BATREP
Quick Battle Report for our game last night at South London Warlords trying out BattlegroundHD’s new minefields and wire obstacles - a fairly straight forward but very fun Soviet mechanised assault against well-prepared American defenders on the outskirts of the hamlet of Möhria.
The Soviets rolled up fairly aggressively (with only 6 turns to clear out the Americans there was no use hanging around) but quickly took a hammering on their right flank as a volley of Dragon and TOW missiles knocked out their tank support and a BMP-1 which detonated with a full squad of infantry still inside.
Heavy return fire from the surviving BMPs and a grenade launcher team managed to neutralize the initial American ATGM and MG positions but a wise defence in depth from Theo saw my aggressive (reckless) Motostrelki rush mown down.
End Result - With heavy casuatlies, I’d failed to meet even my secondary objective of having 50% more men in the American deployment zone. While Theo failed to prevent me from ending the game with troops on the outskirts of the village he had killed or wounded more than half my men and had enough AT ammo left to be ready for the next Warsaw Pact assault - a minor but clear NATO victory.
