Irish Guards Battle group holds Hill 214 against Soviet 8th Guards

17th/21st Lancers with 4 Chieftain tanks are holding Hill 214 with a company of the Irish Guards. As the remainder of the battle group is deployed elsewhere, the equipment is a little sparse. The infantry are mounted in the older Humber Pig AFV.

The Soviets are engaging the British with their newest T-80 tanks. They are supported by a BMP-1

The Irish Guards unfortunately had bad communications due to the Soviets jamming the frequency of the British radio net. Many units never moved. They were picked off one by one. 

The hill was taken. The Soviets pushed on.
