Game 06 - Welcome To Hell

USR Tank Platoon - SteveW & Tom
UA Forces - Paul
Outcome - Paul wins a clear victory
Conclusion - Odds are clearly in the UA's favour in this game, but hands up to Tom and Steve for seeing it through to the bitter end - Revenge will be sweet.

Battle Report
The Eastern Forces of the Ukrovian Socialist Republic (USR) continued their offensive by attacking and moving through the town of Grosnovsi. Lead elements of elite USR tank formations quickly pushed through and were quickly supported by several reserve motorised infantry platoons taked with holding what the vanguard had swiftly taken with relative ease.

The border town of Groznovski

You are being watched...

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide!

Face-off at the cross-roads.

USR Support on the way!

We're not getting out of here alive!

Staring down the barrel of a gun - a rather large gun!

Looking back at you with a smaller but just as deadly weapon.

Safety in numbers? Or target rich environment?

Vehicles in Sector 3 all destroyed, sir!

GO GO GO!

Almost, very nearly escaping.... but not quite.

Welcome to Hell!

Little did the USR reserve force realise, that a hastily organised United Army detachment had prepared an enveloping ambush and were slowly moving in for the kill. The invading force was picked off tank by tank, squad by squad, man by man, as they tried to escape the city and get back to their main force at the border....

A swift defeat for the invading USR Force. However, the second wave of their elite vanguard is just 4 miles away and looking to quickly retake the town and avenge their brothers...

Game 12

Let's Get Our Lads Back
The British trained contingent of Western Spec Ops head back into the forest to investigate why their mortar team has gone silent. Scout Snipers spotted mysterious dark figures moving in the direction of the mortar during Game 11. Could they be Vampyri, an ancient rebel force, with ties stretching back to Cossack times, who lay claim to not just Ukrovia, but nearby lands as their rightful empire?

The Vampyri, or Old Believers as many have called them, are mainly an underground terror driven force, who despise the modern world. They have are responsible for many acts of terror over the years, and are thought to have quite a large underground following of many thousands throughout Europe and Asia.

Out of the two warring factions however, The Vampyri would favour an Eastern solution, though ultimately nothing less than their own anarchic Empire, under extreme rule would suffice, free from modern thinking, none Believers.
