| Mid-way through Autobahn battle |
Our first game was a Free for All, 100 pts, Poles attacking. For objectives we agreed that it would be the two hills in each others deployment zones. The Poles far-left T-72 company advanced through the Autobahn stop, winning the exchange of fire with the three Chieftains covering that avenue of advance. The center T-72 company advanced to provide added pressure and the Hinds swept across the battlefield and engaged the BAOR command element. The right T-72 company held the flank against the other half of the BAOR forces. The capture of the hill gave the Poles victory.

Our second was No Retreat, 100 pts, BAOR attacking. BAOR Recce elements advanced up their right flank flanking the defended gas stations and forest to come in behind the dug-in Polish infantry. The Chieftains on the left defeated an advancing attempt by the BMP-2s through the farm fields, but only after losing two of their number to combined fire from the center T-72s and the advancing BMP-2s themselves. NATO air power DEAD (destroyed enemy air defenses) and then added its pressure against the ground forces. BAOR forces destroyed the present Polish forces as T-72 reinforcements arrived piecemeal and late.
Our third game was Dust Up, 50 pts, BAOR attacking. (Sorry no picture) BAOR Recce forces attempted to pincer the Polish forces, but Polish BMP-1 Recon elements pushed out along the BAOR right, flanking and eliminating advancing BAOR forces. The delayed arrival of BAOR Chieftains resulted in what is best described as a stalemate between Spartans and a T-72M company on the BAOR left. The arrival of Polish Hinds with infantry and a second T-72M company shifted the initiative squarely to the Poles, with the Hinds landing around the distant objective. The successful destruction of 3 Hinds on the ground drove the infantry out of the helicopters early and gave the Poles victory.
