Team Yankee 2 - BummsDorf Junction

"Is this the way to BummsDorf Junction comrade?"
Hearty Soviet Lads on the way to battle.

Another mighty clash of WW3 in the Team Yankee universe.  I took the Soviets & Spav the Yanks.  Another 'learning' game, we added a few more elements this time.  I think the forces came in around a hundred points, roughly equal.  One objective the road junction,  the small German town of BummsDorf.   Capture that or eliminate the enemy force.

BummsDorf Junction.
A stand up fight between the US & USSR.

The only battlefield objective.

View from the Soviet side, a ten tank T-72 company waiting to go.

T-72's race ahead of the Recon 'Spearhead'.

The Motor Infantry Company head for 'Scruffytown'..
The run down residential part of BummsDorf.

The flanking T-72 Company advance.

Best die rolls ever.... 

The Yank Mech Team head for the woods.

The remaining Abrams tanks are led forward by the HQ tank.

Some US troops occupy one of the buildings.

The other US tank team support the others.

"Brewskis", the US tank fire takes its toll.

Some BMP-1's and some infantry are destroyed.

More good US firepower.

The next turn & the Soviet Recon Team heads around the right flank.

"I'm running out of tanks..!"

Soviet & US infantry exchange potshots.

The flanking T-72's race around & catch the Mech M113's...

However, dopey Boris & Yuri fail their terrain cross checks & their tanks are bogged down for a turn.

Scotia Grendel T-72's... Nice castings, nice prices..

'BOOM', a M113 explodes from BMP-2 fire.

Off table, the Soviet Artillery opens up.

The Artillery process is simple enough, two US infantry squads are destroyed.

The M113 VADS AA tracks have to re-deploy.

The US defend 'Scruffytown'

Some US Dragon teams set up shop on the building overlooking the junction.

The Soviet Tank advance on BummsDorf Junction has hit a hiccup.

"BA BA BOOM"
The US Artillery opens up.

Overview at the end of the turn.

A new turn.
The Soviet ground attack planes arrive after a successful roll.

"Ready to fire comrades"

The Recon team just chips away at the US Mech Infantry.

The Soviet infantry open up but hit nothing.

The Soviet Frogfoot's launch their anti-tank missiles....

One Abrams is destroyed.

However on flying out of the battlefield, US AA fire destroys a Frogfoot.

One of the VADS is destroyed by the T-72's.

The US planes arrive....

It's not looking good for the soviets on this flank.

The Abrams reverse & turn,  to fire at the T-72's.

A couple of Bail outs, one more tank destroyed, that leaves one....

Oh no, I forgot about the F-16's....

The F-16's open up & I have no more T-72's.....

On their way out of the battlefield, the Soviet AA destroys them both.

With that, we call it a US victory.  There's no way my Motorised Infantry platoon can win.

The view from 'Scruffytown', the Infantry would of negated each other.

A nice win for Spav & his US forces.  That was a reverse of the last game, this time the US having the better die rolls.  Team Yankee is a nice system, very much like Epic Space Marine.  We did play some of the rules slightly different to the book, we both felt it worked better for 'our' interpretation.  The Artillery for example.  We both agreed the pieces should be 'off-table' for the duration of the game.

The next time we have a game, we will have the full works, including those lovely helo's.
