Backstory

I sat down to play this great Cold War scenario with my buddy Dave Gill from Liverpool. It'd been ages since we last played together, and my work on PG-HQ had prevented me from playing anything in months. This would also be my first Iron Curtain scenario...

Initial Deployment

We flipped a coin and I ended up with the Soviets. I massed my infantry on the right flank, my weak armor on the left, and my slow heavy-hitters in the center giving them a chance to swing left or right depending on how the battle went.

Dave strung his NATO wankers out in a long line across the battlefield.

Quick Death

I rushed forwards with my right flank infantry and heavies in the center. My left flank inched ahead in a supporting position. Faced with a relatively equal distribution of strength, Dave sat back and waited.

Having crossed half the distance to his defensive lines, I deftly swung my center mass of armor to the right and boldly pushed the infantry on the right flank right into his firing lines. He suddenly realized how badly out-gunned he now was on his left flank and began wheeling his right flank up to meet my armor from the side...

However, what he had failed to notice was that on my left flank I had concentrated all my armor with the longest AT fire range... so while he thought he was about to come crashing into my center force's side he instead had rolled right into open ground and in front of the sights of several dozen angry Commies!

His right flank force was shot to hell trying to save the center, and my heavies in the middle barreled right through his line - nigh unstoppable with shells bouncing off their incredible armor.

The battle was decisively won for the Soviets.
