Betrieb rostiger Zenturio - part 2

 We rejoin the action as the DDR columns stream westwards.  Did I mention we had a LOT of toys?

The umpire endeavours to explain something to the equally confused players.

DDR recce probes along the main road...and finds the enemy!

But their rejoicing was short lived as the Brit infantry platoon scored a lucky hit.

Some ominously large aircraft heading west...

Surely this West German police detachment was just that?

Martin didn't think so and fire was soon exchanged.

The transport aircraft had landed paras, complete with tiny ASU-57 SP guns.  They were no match for the Centurions!

The only correct quantity of T-55s is 'a lot'.

So what happened?  DDR forces penetrated the Brit first line but then became rather bogged down with river crossing.  That said, there were enough of them to put the Brits under real pressure.  The scattered para drop caused consternation and delayed the Brit reserve battalion but was eventually contained.  When the Sovs got wind of what was going on it was passed off as a rogue faction in the DDR military.  Lucky that sort of thing doesn't happen now, eh?

Great to get so many toy s out - especially as they weren't all mine. Well done to all the players for making it such a great day's gaming.
