RESULT JUST IN!
Raz Atoth powers to the top of the Leaderboard with a Tactical victory!
He bought no tanks but bled my Russians white with a potent combination of Tunguskas, AT-missilemen, Artillery barrages and infantry.
Endgame screen, all I could do was get a toehold on obj #2
Amazingly with 18 turns to go I had a good hold on all three objectives (below)
(tactical note- I didn't cram all my infantry into the objs in case they came under artillery bombardment, and kept some back in reserve in the woods)
Raz systematically bundled me out of all the objs and with just 5 minutes left I was out in the cold (below)..
So I counterattacked all along the line in the final few turns and had mixed success, here my T-90 failed by a whisker to get into obj #1 because its tracks had been damaged in an earlier encounter with a Tunguska and it could only move at a crawl through the woods..
(tac note- the smoke is the T-90's, popped to provide cover)
However I had better success here at obj #2, advancing down the red arrows and managed to get a foot in the door to keep it neutral.
(The vehicle-popped smoke is to provide cover, the smoke at top left is from my BTR-82, its smoke grenades fly to about 140 metres, too far if you ask me)
The ruined buildings are the handiwork of Raz's Tunguskas, they're like the devastating assault guns of WW2..
A smoke off view..
But my attack here on obj #3 broke down completely, I had to commit my troops without armoured support because their BTR-82 had been toasted (see earlier screenshot in this thread) and within seconds of moving off they came under crossfire (below) and soon retreated..
