Turn 1:
Both sides advanced into the combat zone in 2 groups.
Turn 2:
The Americans send in the A-10, it softens up T-72 that has parked itsself a little to close to the edge of the woods, the Americans then hit with artillary before an Abrams finishs it off. In response the Soviet T-72s destroy the US reece Humvee as it races over the bridge.
Turn 3:
In a less eventful turn the Abrams, A-10 and artillary combine to take out another T-72. Two T-72s combine to fire (several times) on one Abrams, it lives!
Turn 4:
The Soviets finnally manage to lay on some AA fire and would you believe it, my beloved A-10 aborts! Two T-72s combine to fire (several times) on one Abrams, it lives! Two T-72s combine to fire (several times) on one Abrams, it lives!
Turn 5:
On the US left flank the two opposing groups are now at very close range and the death toll starts to mount, Soviet massed BMP fire takes out the TOW carrying Humvee and a section of infantry. While the impressivly accurate long range effforts of the US FAC sends in the A-10, combined with artillary, infantry and AFVs and they KO 3 BMPS and 2 stands of infantry! Two T-72s combine to fire (several times) on one Abrams, it lives!
Turn 6:
US infantry have clearly forgotton its stupid to hide in buildings, massed BMP cannon fire levels the building taking out a US infanttry section. Two T-72s combine to fire (several times) on one Abrams, it lives!
Turn 7:
The Soviets seem to be running out of options, the dreaded A-10 returns and nails anthor BMP and stand of infantry, ground forces match this! Two T-72s combine to fire (several times) on one Abrams, it lives!
Turn 8:
The Soviets pass a break test at -2 and the finaly kill the right flank Abrams! (It had been hit with 13 dice of attacks at least 15 times before it eventually died!) The US take out the snapper in reponse.
Despite inflicting much higher casualties the US only score a minor victory.
