Hasty Attack: Dutch vs Soviets

the scenario from Battlefront Miniatures 

Initial deploying of the NATO right flank. Danish recce

the make up of the Dutch force, augmented due to  losses

Belgian mortars but with an Isreali card

Dutch Leopard 1 Squadron led by a Danish Leopard 1
A West German Leopard 1 squad but actually M60s rushed to make up for losses
the single West German 120mm mortar
Leopard 2 Squadron with a TOW section, West Germans but with an Israeli card
Soviet left wing held by the Anti-aircraft Regiment, and a single section of Iranian Basji in an East German BTR-60 
Soviet centre held by a BTR-60  motor rifle section, in fact they are a heavy weapons section
Arcadia battery
BMP-1 Motorized Rifle section
BM-21 Hail battery 
Carnation battery 
BMP-2 Motorized rifle section 
BMP-2 Scout section 
Shilpa, Storm and the Recce section hold the Soviet right 
The rest of the Soviet force, a T-64 Tank Regiment 

Dutch and Belgians hit the Soviets again in the NATO counter attack.
The Dutch are attacking with a Leopard 1 Recce Squadron while the Belgians are charging forth with a mixed Armoured Regiment of Leopard 1s and M60s which have been sent as replacement for losses 
 sustained. 

The initial NATO attack went well however it got bogged down on the flanks. Soviet resistance to the attack was better than anticipated.
The French arrived with a supporter Chasseur battalion with armor and Artillery but these were kept in check. The final act was the Soviets flanking the NATO right flank with a T-64 tank Regiment.
A further M41 Squadron are also being deployed. But it was destroyed by the Iranian Basaji
NATO reserves were a French force, but even this wasnt enough to continue the momentum of the attack.
A Soviet victory again.
