Been away for a while, but I'm finally back after some mamoth painting of all the miniatures I got a Salute. Here are some pictures of a wargame I played today using my new Yugoslav wars figures (being a mixture of Liberation Miniatures, ESCI warsaw pact, Orion Modern Russians and Ceaser Miniatures modern urba resistors).
The aim of the game was for the VRS (Bosnian Serb Army) player to keep the main highway clear in order for reinforcements to be brought up to the frontline. However Bosnian Militia and paramilitaries have set up roadblocks along the highway and are gathering in strength in the town.
The VRS first objective is to clear the roadblock in order too get supplies and troops to the front.
Secondly they must establish the strength of the Bosnian units in the area and if possible route them out from the town in order to negate the threat to military traffic.
In turn 1 the VRS troops leapfrog toward the nearest buildings, taking it in turn to cover each others advance.
Bosnian reserves emerge from the woods to take the advancing Serbs.
Bosnian militia in the town get ready to ambush the approaching VRS squad...
...But the Serbs send in their former JNA T-55 to clear the streets with it's cannon.
A shell lands amongst the defenders rendering most of them casualties.
The sniper in the towerblock avoided being hit but was taken out by the combined fire of the approaching VRS infantry.
The second VRS squad comes under fire from the Bosnian reserves hiding in the woods, a firefight breaks out in which the VRS officer is killed.
The tank trundles down the streets hoping to cut off the retreat of the Bosnian reserves.
But a well aimed RPG finds its' way to the poorly defended rear of the tank.
The tank crew flee to join up with the VRS troops bogged down in the town when another RPG explodes in their midst killing both tank crew.
Here is an overview of the action. After this was taken there was only 1 more turn in which both forces exchanged ineffective long range fire before the VRS troops decided to call it a day and ordered a general retreat back down the way they came.
