OGRE Batrep #3

Battle Report [Batrep #3]

Scenario - Nine zones on the map must be occupied to generate Victory Points.

Objective - Neutral areas on the map provide points every odd-numbered turn if a player has a unit wholly within that zone and your opponent does not.

Result: Disastrous loss for the Soviet Federated Forces. Again. Something like 75 points to 150 points. !#@$MF!!!!!



The one SFS strong point all evening.


Light tank companies move through a Victory Zone and lay siege to the center of the map.
Light tank companies get squashed by paltry infantry - in the center of the map...
Center of the map and the NE corner of the map were killing fields for armor. The SFS forces once again did a good job of eliminating the primary threats with no thought to secondary threats or of objectives.

The best picture of the table.

I did not get a good picture of the whole map, but there were 9 zones like the 2 pictured above on the table and the points value for each was awarded on the other teams' turn which helped the disaster along nicely. I did not have enough of the right units on the field in the right places to contest any more than four of the nine objectives. I gave up one and never gained control of the other. The Combine team rolled up the other side of the map uncontested due to a massive failure on my part. But I did get to jump their armor with my heavy infantry and do a lot of damage. That was the only bright spot for the SFS forces this day.
