No retreat: Danish vs Poles

initial Polish position 

Poles lie inn waiting 

The Danish and Belgian force begin to advance 

Danish armoured Regiment and support  are hitting back at the remains of the Poles armoured division.

Having been mauled by the British, the Polish units are attempting to withdraw back to the Soviet lines. 

The Danish and Belgian armor led the advance. The Danish recce units covered the NATO right flank.

The Danes and Belgians decided to use the road through the town to try and mask their movements but forgot about the Polish Anti-tank teams. The Polish Hail launcher kept the advance down on the NATO centre while the tanks were picked off by RPG'S. Eventually the Belgians sent their infantry in to clear the streets. The Danish jeeps rushed forward flanking the rest of the RPG'S.

The Poles stubbornly held onto the church with a single PKM gunner in the tower. Eventually the jeeps came up but were knocked out by sustained machine gun fore from the Poles. The Belgian mortars eventually silenced the Hail and the final movement was by the Danosh M-41 Squadron using their machine guns to take out the PKM team. 

The Poles minus their air assault company are now defeated.

A near run thing for the NATO team

The British main force has hit back hard on the Polish Division.

The Australian  infantry with Milan systems  are part of Australian 5th/7th RAR, with their Wombat jeeps in support.

Initially the Beirish made a cautious approach, losing one of their HQ tanks and an anti-tank troop. One of the Australian jeeps was knocked out as were most of the Australian M113s. However, the Auzzies were not about to give up the ghost and began to pick off the Polish tanks with their Milan gunners. The infantry took the bridge on the right flank.

Meanwhile the British began to flood into the village. One plucky Lieutenant of the Irish Guards led his platoon into a ploughed field. This was matched by the Polish advancing their BMP-2 section and infantry to pour fire into the Irishmen who were all taken out. 

The Royal Artillery then began to rain bombardments down on the Polish right flank. The BTR-60 APCs were able to halt the advance of the Australian Recce Squadron but were unable to stop the rest of the Queens Dragoon Guards from rushing in and destroying the Polish infantry in the village. Even with a Polish Air Assault group, it was not enough to halt the advance and the Polish Division what was left of it to withdraw. 

The British and for the most part Australian units held enough strength to continue their offensive.

A NATO victory 

Counter attack: West Germans and Canadians vs Soviets

West Germans 21st Panzer Division with Canadian, hitting back at the Soviets.

Following the victory of the French led brigade, the West Germans and Canadians attack the Soviet Motorized Rifle Division.

Having suffered loss of equipment and men, the counter attack units are not at full strength but have enough power to hot the Soviets hard.

The West Germans arrive at a hamlet to push back the Soviets in the village

The Soviets meanwhile are holding the village as part of their line. The Soviets are made up of a Squadron of T-62s, and a Squadron of T-72, with a Motor rifle Battalion mounted in BTR 60s elements of the remains of the East Germans giving numbers to a depleted Soviet unit.

An Airborne brigade can be brought in as a reserve.

The West Germans were hot hard but the timely intervention of the Canadians crushed the Soviet tank Regiment. Despite the Warsaw Pact combined Air Assault brigade arriving it could not stop the Canadians from destroying the tanks.

Warsaw Pact: Soviet 896th Anti-aircraft Missile Regiment

In recognition of their Stirling service during the 2020 campaign of 1985, this Regiment is being reequipped with the SA-13 Gopher SAM system.
The SA-9 Gaskin are now being sent to the East Germans for their use.
As the 74th Guards tank Regiment is made up of T-64s, the division needed vehicles better suited to keeping pace with the tanks.

The 896th Anti-Aircraft  Regiment is equipped with the SA-13 GOPHER SAM system is being given to this unit as it is a tracked system which can keep up with tanks over rough terrain.

Shilkas and Geckos also will be added to the anti-aircraft Artillery, just need to assemble and paint.

Warsaw Pact: Soviet 496th Separate Anti-tank Artillery Battalion

For my 47th birthday, I increased my Soviets with this Regiment, consisting of a platoon of Storm Anti-tank vehicles. The MT-LB gun tractor is armed with the AT-6 Spiral Anti-tank missile.
Previously, the battalion had been equipped with Spandrel Anti-tank on the BRDM-2 but these are now attached to the East Germans in their Panzerjagers.
I've built them but I need to paint them.

 I began to decal up the Regiment 

NATO and Warsaw Pact reinforcements May 2020

I've been able to catch up on my Bill's and it's my birthday so I was able to get a few more units for my armies.

I've had these for a year but I can't remember if I posted them

 i got a second M113 kit but haven't taken a shot of the box

My French are getting put together 

 the extra turrets are now a Dutch Leopard 1s Squadron in cover 

France: a Squadron of AMX-30 tanks

 and a Squadron of Gazelle helicopters and a battery of 155mm guns
West Germany: an M113 Squadron for a reservist Panzergrenadier battalion
Soviet Union: a Squadron of T-64 tanks

 and

Anti-aircraft 

Anti-tank  squadron.

The French guns I shall probably model in cover as the hulls will be tanks.

Additional bits from the M113 kits will also be made up
