Team Yankee Firestorm Red Thunder end of Turn 2 and 2 battles in Turn 3

Sorry about the delay with posting. We played an other three battles at the Ottawa Miniature Gamers Club on Sunday 2 Feb 2020. We ended up playing the last battle of turn 2 and two battles in turn 3.

Jeff Young (NATO) won battle 9 again Duncan (Warsaw Pact). There was no counter attack so NATO did not make any progress.

The map after 10 battles (end of turn 2) looks like this

We also got to play two battles in turn 3.

Battle 11 was Jeff Burnett (Warsaw Pact) attacking Mike (NATO). Mike has posted the battle report in his blog. This was a Warsaw Pact victory. As per the campaign rules every time the Warsaw Pact wins it gains an additional territory.

Battle 12 was Serge (Warsaw Pact) attacking Francis (NATO). This was also a Warsaw Pact victory.

So after the first two battles of turn 3, the map looks like


























So after two turns and two battles in turn 3 the Warsaw Pact has 60 victory points and NATO is holding on to 41 Victory points.

This is currently an operational victory for the Warsaw Pact. (Between 55 and 70 VP)

Battle 13 is a Warsaw Pact attack and Battles 14 and 15 are NATO attacks.

The location of the last 3 battles can be found in the following map.






































NATO has the chance to take 9 Victory Points away from the Warsaw Pact, so there is a chance to make the campaign only a Warsaw Pact tactical victory.

The next campaign is set for 1 Mar 2020.
