Scenario 3 WAW85 Turn 5 through End

Another troubling turn for both sides. Neither get sto execute, but the Soviets suffer the most. Losing seveal units.   Losses mount across the board for the Russians and the amazingly thin Us defense might just hold. Six additional platoons are wiped out this turn 6. Shortly the US will be in a commanding postion with just one turn to go.   The timely arrival of a company of M1’s swung the…

Scenario 3 WAW ’85 Turn 2-4

Sometimes in war, it all works out. Oh right. No it doesn’t. Best laid plans etc. So no surprise for either side as in turn 2 the cards drop an early end turn. This hurts both player sides as the Russians are limited in movement on a tight time line and the US has less opportunity fire shots, and less of an idea where the main thrust will be.

Scenario 3 WAW ‘85 Turn 1

Scant resources were available to the US forces tasked with slowing the inexorable Soviet advance. A handful of Bradelys, so brand new M1’sATGMs and a flight of helos screening the far left flank. Reinforcements were promised… Right. Facing off against an overstrength battalion, a supporting company of mechanized infantry and T-62s and sundry assets. Worst of all a squadron of Hinds. US…

WAW85 Fire on the Kinzigsee

One of the neat things about WAW85 is the manner in which they allocate resources with these color coded formations and cards. This provides the scenario designer and the system massive flexibility.

I just wrapped up a fast but deadly run through…

Mohr’s Test, Play #2

This time I made a few changes to the Germans. I tweaked the setup for the Germans.

Gunna run the same plan for the Czechs from my prior play. Running both flanks.

Turn 1 they get their ‘double’ move one free one at the outset, and then strike a fusillade of ATGM, APFSD and angry Germans. They survive Op fire with 1 disrupt.

They survive activation # 1 of Mohr’s teams. with…
