WW3 Team Yankee: NUTS July Action

The NUTS Group gathered for another of our regular WW3 games early in July.

We played another Super Tank Challenge Mission, which allows 250 points but requires players to take a formation of tanks with front armor of 17 or more.

Bart and Mike handled 750 points of Soviets between them on a 28' by 4' table. I ran my M1A1 Company, with a second formation from the 82nd Airborne. Dave tried out his Challenger Armoured Squadron, while Gary ran a combo of M1s and M-60s, all of us at 250 points each.

The Soviets pressed NATO hard, but the NATO armor held strong along most of the front. Heavy casualties were incurred on both sides.

When the dust settled, Mike had an advantage on the Soviet right, but Bart was hard pressed in the center and on his left, so we called it a narrow NATO win. A quick and extremely fun game!
