Additional T-64s armed with missles

 A Soviets Czechoslovakian attack has pushed against the West German and Americans near Fulda. Canadian forces and French troops are supporting.

The objective as usual is the bridge and crossroads to continue the Socialist advance.

The West Germans have thrown in reserves to assist in the defense using a squadron of M48, and M-41s 

The Canadians and Americans have rushed their tanks to hold the bridge. The Soviet plan was to throw all their tanks against the infantry holding the ridge overlooking the bridge. They've been somewhat successful in holding the ridge but have yet to capture the main bridge. The secondary bridge was captured by the Czech Paras. West German anti-aircraft section took out all the Hinds, while Czech rockets pummeled the Armoured Recce battalion.

Despite the efforts of the Frech, Canadian, West German and Americans, the Soviets were able to capture the objective. 

An all out push by the Motor Rifles secured the bridge while the new T-80 company took out many NATO  tanks. Next, the British

With a new storage box, I am now able to fit all the kit in one box. Makes storage and movement easier.

Jaguar Jagdpanzer Zug

 

So I've built these as Jaguar 2s with the Jaguar 1s I'll built ertzaz ones with m548 hulls

So why exactly did West Germany field these?

With the potential onslaught of massive amounts of Warsaw Pact armour, NATO, in particular West Germany needed to field as many weapons systems that could take out tanks as they could. 

Seeing how successful infantry Anti-tank teams had done so well un the middle east, the West Germans took the Panzerjager they had with a 90mm gun, and replaced it with better Anti-tank weapons. Surprisingly in the upgraded West German book they actually supply the 90mm gun armed system, as a reservist option.

Once I get some time to field a game, these shall be on the board. 

West German Redeye squad

 I got the West Germans some additional Anti-aircraft systems they can use. 

I ran out of NATO green so I'll have to wait until I can get to the store for more.

The blister pact has 8 teams, so I will we splitting these up to other NATO allied troops to flush them out. I have to check on my Dutch and ANZAC troops on this.

And I got them painted, just not a picture yet 

Luchs Spah Truup

 I now have a full recce squadron with these

I'll have to build and paint them.

I have one which I got in the early 2000s.

So I can now run 2 squadrons 

Fuchs APC

 I now have a full troop of them with their stat card.

And after my year in the North, they got a bit damaged in transit so I'll need to repair over 2024

Leopard campaign: Forward edge of Battle

 I've decided to fight a West German led defensive campaign this summer with my Team Yankee kits and my 1/72 gear. 

The scenarios are from the book Leopard.

It should be interesting 

At the Forward edge of Battle

Battle for Hill 205, West Germamy 1985 Soviet vs Canadian

I'm going to go all out on this action. The Canadians are being rushed forward with West Germans to try and plug a gap made in NATO'S line. This will see a West German Panzergrenadier Battalion from their reserves plus a rocket battery to help the Canadians against a Warsaw  Pact push.

The Canadians are also getting a little help from the Americans with an Armoured Cavalry Recce Squadron. 

NATO M113

The West Germans are providing fire support. Additional reserves will be

provided by whatever NATO forces 

The Warsaw Pact units will be made up of the remaining units of Soviet and

 Czechoslovakian forces. The Czechoslovakian units have not been engaged in any of the battles. 

The battle began with the French advancing on the town with R22eR Vandoos in support.

The Czechs were dug in firm, and repulsed the French attack. The French helicopters were held off by Czechoslovakian air launchers.

The Canadians then took a crack at the town but are also facing stiff opposition.

Meanwhile the Germans advanced to the bridge which is being hotly contested by the Soviets and Czechoslovakian forces. 

The T-72s inflicted casualties on the Dutch and French tanks, Czechoslovakian forces also mauled the Canadian tanks as well. 

Danish Lifeguards are holding their own, with support from a West German reserve  Panzer Regiment. NATO forces are sending reinforcements to the situation 

Battle for hill 210 West Germany 1985 Soviets vs West Ger
