A few pictures of a recent fictional 1989 game between USMC and Soviets in Germany using A Fist Full of Tows 3 rules. Of note is the quarry on one flank and homemade autobahn with overpass. salisinarduis.blogspot.com.au (Remembered to include link this time!!!!!) |

That quarry is gorgeous. How'd the game itself go? |

Marines did well to start due to their high training factor and morale. Opening shots with TOW launchers killed 5 Soviet tanks with 6 shots. In fact the first wave of Soviets were annihilated. However Paul and bought a regiment of cheap conscripts and these were the first wave and acted as a human shield for the better troops following up. In the end it was a close draw. We hadn't played the rules for a while and it was the first time we had used the Marines. Usually we play tank heavy and so it will take some time to get used to using a heap of high quality infantry running around in Humvees. I think the tank ratio was 9 US vehicles (a battalion) vs 50+. The highlight for me was the US airstrike. FFT3 has an almost narrative approach. The plane entered our edge and you look on a table considering our quality minus factors such as anti air, height etc and a dice roll. The result was that the pilot veered off at the last moment but dropped his bombs before he did so. The result was a close miss on a PT76 crossing a small lake . A pity because it would have been the first Us Air Force plane to SINK a tank! |

I just started getting into FFT3 myself, and it's certainly sounding phenomenal. I hope you'll post more reports of your games. |

I'm playing World-at-War Blood and Bridges but using FFOT3 for the combat. It's great :) |
