Warsaw Pact forces were gradually advancing through the rural areas of northern Germany. However, they soon fell into a trap set by a British infantry unit. Initially, NATO forces struggled to halt the invaders and experienced some losses. Polish and Soviet vehicles continued to push forward, but this situation was about to change.

In our game, I was in command of the entire Pact forces along with a platoon of two T-55 tanks. Jimmy had an additional squad in a BTR-40, while Alasdair led an infantry platoon in a BMP-1. Facing us was a British infantry platoon commanded by Tim and David.

The situation quickly intensified for the Warsaw Pact soldiers. The British deployed their anti-tank weapons, and although the initial shells missed their targets, they forced the Soviets to abandon their first combat vehicle. What followed was a systematic destruction of the enemy. The British first targeted and destroyed the leading BMP, subsequently eliminating all its crew. Despite Alasdair's efforts to support the infantry with the remaining vehicles, he could not prevent the destruction of the first squad.

My first mistake in this game became clear when I realised I had spread our forces too thin. I should have concentrated my BMPs and tanks in one area and used the BTRs as a distraction. To rectify this mistake, I decided to regroup my forces. However, I encountered some problems along the way. I discovered an enemy infantry squad on my flank, but I had already collected a Chain of Command (CoC) die, which allowed me to interrupt the enemy's phase and activate one of my units.

First, I moved one of my tanks into position, deliberately exposing its rear to the enemy to act as bait. When David's unit activated, I chose to activate Jimmy's vehicle next. Unfortunately, Jimmy's shot at David's unit was ineffective. In retaliation, David fired a missile at the rear of my vehicle, and that was the end of my clever plan. The T-55 exploded!

Alasdair was struggling to regain his bearings and manage the chaos caused by British gunfire targeting his troops. An attempt to rescue the first squad failed, resulting in the death of the third officer. While he was able to force the British to retreat briefly, they soon mounted a renewed attack, inflicting even more casualties on Alasdair's platoon. I endeavoured to salvage the situation on the right flank, where Jimmy was trying to capture the British jump-off point. However, Alasdair's losses were affecting morale, which in turn led to a reduction in our command dice. Eventually, our morale dropped to zero, and we were forced to withdraw.

Regarding the rules, it's difficult for me to provide a detailed opinion at this point. However, my initial impression is that the game has become smoother overall, and the QRS (Quick Reference Sheet) is clearer. We'll play a few more games, and then I'll be able to share my thoughts more comprehensively.

Soldiers of the Warsaw Pact had two objectives the town and the city, defended by the British. We split our forces in two and Michael with stronger forces had to take the city (defended by Peter), whereas I was going to take the town (defended by Mike). I moved with my tanks on the spearhead and soon clashed with British tanks. They had Chieftans, which were superior to our T-72s. Soon my tanks were decimated by the British. Then suddenly, Mike turns his back to support Peter in his struggle against Michael. I used that moment and attacked with my mechanised infantry. They destroyed the remaining British forces in the area and attacked the town. They succeeded. The first objective was in our hands.

Żołnierze układu warszawskiego mieli dwa cele, duże i małe miasta bronione przez Brytyjczyków. Nasze siły rozdzieliliśmy na dwa zgrupowania, Michael z większym miał atakować większe miasto (bronione przez Petera) a ja z mniejszym drugie miasteczko (bronione przez Mike'a). Ruszyłem z moimi czołgami na szpicy i wkrótce starłem się z czołgami brytyjskimi. Oni mieli Cheftainy, które są lepsze od naszych T-72. Wkrótce moje czołgi zostały przetrzebione przez Brytyjczyków. Wtedy Mike postanowił wesprzeć Petera w jego zmaganiach z Michaelem. Wykorzystałem ten moment i zaatakowałem moją zmechanizowaną piechotą. Zniszczyli pozostałe siły brytyjskie i zaatakowali miasteczko. Udało im się je zdobyć. Pierwszy cel był w naszych rękach. 

Michael used a different tactic. He called it an amoeba attack. He surrounded the city with his forces and started the assault. Peter tried to prevent it, but as soon as he lost his HQ, things started to be very difficult. Mike tried to support Peter but that allowed me to take the initiative on my side of the table. Finally, after defeating Mike I send one company of mechanised infantry to support Michael but failed. Finally, Soviet soldiers managed to enter the city and in hard street fighting forced the British to withdraw. The game was over with both objectives in our hands.

Michael użył innej taktyki. Nazwał ją atakiem ameby. Otoczył miasto swoimi siłami i rozpoczął natarcie. Peter próbował temu zapobiec, jednak kiedy stracił dowództwo, wszystko się posypało. Mike próbował wesprzeć Petera, ale to pozwoliło przejąć mi przejąć inicjatywę po mojej stronie. W końcu, po pokonaniu Mike'a wysłałem jedną kompanię zmechanizowanej piechoty by wesprzeć Michaela, jednak to zawiodło. W końcu sowieccy żołnierze wdarli się do miasta i w ciężkich walkach ulicznych zmusili Brytyjczyków do wycofania się. Gra była zakończona i oba cele były w naszych rękach.
