<r> <B><s>[b]</s>Phase 2: Attack<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
<br/>
The attack hits NATO like a sledge hammer. After hours of preparation it is nasty, brutish, and short. As tanks roll forward firing at everything they can see 23SMs and 2S1s hurl constant barrages against selected positions. Hundreds of ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>Phase 1: Maneuver<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
<br/>
The NARD and Rys crews can hardly believe what their radars are telling them. NATO forces, rather than occupying the village of Helmern, are arranged on the raised terrain directly to its northwest. Their mechanized and motorized forces ...

<r> GloriousRuse & Secret's AAR was nice, so it's coincidental that I came back to write my own on RBS. I'm not well-versed in military life or terminology so my AARs are more abstract but hopefully still enjoyable. Had this one sitting on the backburner as I've been busy lately. With that out the ...

Well done to both for an enjoyable AAR [:)]

<r> As an update, I decided to put Zhukov's principle to the test: one decisive thrust against the barricaded but most direct route to Rinteln. I was skeptical that my forces would be better off running into the guns of the enemy, yet the results speak for themselves. The victory was upgraded 12 ...

That's the gamble. Do the precision munitions do enough or is the mass too powerful?

Yeah, the forum told me that repeatedly as I tried to embed the attached images. [8D]

I have an imgur account so I should be able to use that in future.

Not to worry, thanks for the clarification.

Thanks Mike, can't wait until the forum will finally allow me to embed images and use links, will make things much easier! Good hunting yourself

<r> I'll post here since the wishlist thread is quite old. An encyclopedia with each national army, accessible from the main menu only, would be very helpful to familiarize yourself with various platforms etc. over the course of playing the game. Failing that, some kind of pdf document which lists ...

<t> Can't speak for NATO as I've only played a couple as them, but I've noticed this as well. Only rarely they will shoot and I haven't seen them hit anything yet. Despite the manual asserting the importance of CB operations it seems rather superfluous, at best something to leave on so they're not ...

Keeping an eye on this one. I read through your last attempt so I wish you luck!

<r> Victory was achieved with significant casualties for the Soviet Union. Lauterbach and much of its surrounds were secured. Several units received citations for effectiveness or awards for valor and sacrifice.<br/>

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>Phase 3<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
The final thrust of the NATO attack occurred on the western banks of the river, just south of the victory points in Lauterbach. The BMP-2PG company holding in Frischborn was wiped out; only a few sections of their MRR remained, so it was necessary to ...

<r> <B><s>[b]</s>Phase 2<e>[/b]</e></B><br/>
The MMRs and recon regiments advancing through the woods south of Lauterbach found it slow going but they emerged without incident. From there things took a turn for the worse. While one company of BMP-2PGs crossed and entered the town of Frischborn, and ...

<r> Fought another battle over the weekend, another bloody affair. Slowly learning the nuances of the Red Army. As others have observed, standing off and shooting is what NATO excels at; if you allow them to do that your forces will disintegrate. Also, to paraphrase Zhukov, the most direct route isn ...

Thanks for the welcome, I've been enjoying the game.

<r> It cost a lot of Soviet blood but Riteln's bridges are secure. Several regiments received citations or awards for valor and sacrifice.<br/>

It was now down to the wire. Guard casualties had passed 50%. The slow grind of urban warfare had worn down the unfortunate TRs and MRRs selected to pin the Germans against the river, and some were breaking. No sooner had the forces from Hohenrode ...
