Cold War Commander Warsaw Pact v BAOR

This time I gave Jerry an introduction to Cold War Commander. I used my Warsaw Pact army while Jerry used my BAOR as that was the army he was thinking of getting. We went for a fairly simple game with no aircraft or artillery and a simple meeting engagement:

Chieftains advance quickly on my right flank facing only a few WP APC's:

Predictably the WP APC's take a pasting and two are destroyed:

It isn't totally one-sided though as a Chieftain is destroyed and another suppressed:

In the centre both sides close in on the town:

WP tanks deploy to take on the Chieftains:

Neither side has managed to capture the town, both lurking on the outskirts:

The British manage to capture the town but then suffer a 'command blunder' and decide to push out the other side into the teeth of massed WP forces. It does not go well for them:

The blundering British are quickly overwhelmed:

The BAOR isn't finished yet though, the powerful Chieftains take out more WP armour:

The fight ends with a narrow British victory despite the WP holding the outskirts of the town:

This was the first time I'd faced the BAOR with my WP force, Jerry did well considering that he hadn't played before and the Chieftains proved very tough nuts to crack. The 'command blunder' was a nice mechanism, just as things were looking great for the British they foolishly decided to charge out of the town into the massed WP forces! Hopefully we will get some more games in at some point.
