As we return for the final instalment of the action the US position on Hill 401 looks increasingly precarious.
At the autobahn junction Richard's tank battalion looks well placed to fend off a T-64 battalion - even with the RHQ in attendance.
Further south, the tank btl from the MRR seems poised to outflank the US renmants.
Having seen off the T-64 attack, Hill 403 receives some unwelcome attention from the MiG-27s.
As Tim's battered M-113s scuttle out of the woods they run into advance elements of the MRR
Martin was having a lovely time sorting out the traffic jam
Just south of Fulda the Cobras had another go but missed!
In desperation, lacking functional tank battalions and no doubt mindful of the looming presence of the Division Political Officer Simon committed his motor rifle battalion...
...which to everyone's surprise overran the M-60 companies. Crushing the Polizei VW seemed a bit unsporting though!
This meant that Soviet hopes now rested on Martin's broad shoulders as his tank and MR battalions rushed to exploit the breach
Endex. There were sufficient Sov tank/MR btls to get at least two off down the A66 towards Frankfurt and next to nothing the Yanks could still do about it. A solid Soviet victory marred by the piles of burning T-64s....
Interestingly, the game ran for a similar number of game turns and took up almost exactly the same real time as the earlier game. So as long as everyone is on the case it was just as slick with six players as two. Well done everyone!

Great looking game Tim. Too bad about the cop car.
I was amazed how quickly it went given the amount of kit on the table. I guess as long as people don't dither the unit at a time activation means it will scale with the number of players. As we also noted in earlier games, having the umpire manage the cards and throw the dice is also much faster.
I think both sides had done a fair degree of planning beforehand (we certainly had), which also helps. I think we spent longer planning it than playing it!
Hi Tim - The US M-60s being overrun at the 'T' intersection -is all a bit surprising. Well done the Russians in this case. Cheers. KEV.

Police cars get trashed in all the best films.

There were a couple of comms issues but very little dithering - and I think everyone turning up with a plan helped a lot!

The M-60s had taken a bit of a pasting already and in the assault the dice went the way of the Sovs. It happens...
