The mission rolled for is a Free for all, where the East German panzer battalion initiate an assault on the west German Villa, close to the east German border. All units starts on the battlefield and both sides mission is to capture and defend objectives. Both sides use spearhead move to gain a bit of extra deployment area.

Turn 1

East Germany begins the battle and move all forces west. Shooting proves difficult as the west Germans benefit from gone to ground. No causalities.

The west German panzer return fire and destroy a couple of t55s, a t72 and a few infantry with MARS bombardment.

Turn 2

The east German infantry rally and aggressively push towards one objective. With the West Germans positions revealed, combined fire from tanks take out two Leo 1:s. The BMPs try to find firing solutions, but are blocked by the infantry. The infantry destroy two of the M113 before launching an assault to destroy the last one. The Luchs are also lost to combined fire. East Germany is now holding one objective.

West respond quickly by calling for air support and moving the Gepards to contest the objective. Return fire takes out a few tanks and the MARS removes another few infantry teams. The Tornados destroy four T-72, while surviving the AA fire.

Turn 3

East German infantry attempt to dig in, but fail. The BMPs fire their missiles and destroy the Gepards, while the tanks destroy a MARS and a platoon of Leopard 1:s. The Frogfoot air support have yet not made any appearance, but East Germany is again holding the objective.

West Germany has only once chance to retake the objective by moving a red eye team to contest the location. The Leo 2:s also push towards the objective but is a bit short of reaching it. Another few tanks are destroyed by the remaining six German tanks and Milan equipped infantry.

Turn 4

The east German BMPs reinforce the infantry at the objective and the remaining tanks succeeds in destroying another two Leo 1:s. A few infantry teams are destroyed, as well as the redeye contesting the objective. All shots aimed at the Leopard 2 bounces.

West Germany lose the last MARS to Morale and move the Leopard 2 to assault the infantry. The last remaining leopard 1 and the company commander takes out another t55, while the Leopard 2 destroy a few T72s. The Leopards assault the infantry, with rockets bouncing off their Chobham armor, forcing the east Germans back a bit.

Turn 5

East Germany kills the company commander and only a single leopard 1 remains. The only only core units left for west Germany is the M113 infantry, a leopard 1 and a single redeye team. Still no Frogfoot air support, it seems the weather are bad for flight as the only air activity has been a single tornado strike. The infantry dig in at the objective, while the last units attempt to destroy the m113 infantry.

The last Leopard 1 flees the battle. While the Leopard 2:s have a high fighting spirit, the rest of the company is shaking from fighting their former nationals. The leopard 2:s destroy another T-72s and a few BMPs, before launching an assault on the infantry.

Turn 6

The T55 battalion now have to make a company morale test, witch fails and it flees. East Germany pounds the infantry with the remaining weak firepower of the BMPs and the last T72. The BMPs attempt to kill the redeye, but fails.

The west German company start with a morale test for the lone redeye team, witch fails, and the west German company retreats the battle with only M113 infantry remaining in the core company.

East German victory!

Turn 1

Syria starts the game as attacker, and the IDF holds four Merkava and the TOW jeeps in reserve, while having the other three Merkava in Ambush. Syria dash all units ahead, and the aircraft attempt to take out the M109 Artillery. However, one Hind is shoot down by the stingers, and all aircraft miss their attacks.

Israel's first turn offers both a successful reserve roll and ambushing Merkava's. The six Merkava together with the Cobras take out eight T-55 and four t-72:s. The VADs further cleans up the last Hind.

Turn 2

With only one tank remaining in four tank platoons, some tests are required. The somewhat un-inspired Syrians decide to retreat with one t-72 and one T-55. With massive losses, the Syrian army push forward in an attempt to gain better firing solutions. The T62s, lacking mine clearers slowly traverse the narrow path between the house and the minefield. Shooting prove to be quite useless, and only the soviet Frogfoot, first surviving the stingers, manage to destroy one Merkava.

The IDF strike back, and are further reinforced by the HQ Merkava. The Merkava now spit their fire, cleaning up some of the T72s and start reducing the T62 company. Another seven tanks or so, are lost. The Cobras however, are destroyed by the Gazkin before they can shoot.

Turn 3

Finally at short range, the remaining T72s attempts four shots on short range on the Merkavas, but the shoots proves ineffective against superior armour of the Israeli tanks. However, the Last T55 manage a side shot and takes out one Merkava tank, reducing one platoon to a single tank. The froogfoot remain off table.

The last reserve, three tow jeeps enters the battlefield. The M109 successfully destroy two tanks and the Merkava destroys another few T62s, the last T55 and a T72.

Turn 4

The Hail attempt to take out the stingers, but fail to hit the teams. The spandrel fire on the HQ Merkava, but with no result. The Frogfoot attempts to strike another tank, but both planes are shoot down by the stingers. Two T-62 are in assault range and attempt an assault, but the IDF infantry bail one and the last tank is destroyed in the assault.

The IDF infantry digs in to prevent further causalities, while securing the objective. The Israeli army clean up the last remaining tanks, to later shift focus on the remaining BTRs and infantry. 

Turn 5-6

The last Syrian infantry and BTRs bails a VAD and then assault the IDF infantry. The Melee reduce the IDF to four teams, but its not enough to make them break. The Syrian infantry drops below good sprit. The Spandrels continue to pound the HQ Merkava, but it pass all amour saves needed. The Hail, only ranging in a few times in the battle, managed nothing but pin the stingers.

The danger close M109 artillery now shift to take out one of the Hail trucks. The IDF easily clean up the remaining armor and only one infantry company remains in good spirit from the core companies in the Syrian army. 

With the victory at hand, the single Merkava and the bailed VAD need a morale check at start of turn six, both failing and retreats. But with the company in good spirit, it does however not change the fact that the IDF will claim the victory at turn 7 as the Syrians will flee at the start of the turn.
