Seven Days To The Rhine at Le Ducs

Another game of Seven Days To The Rhine this time at Le Ducs with his (proper) 10mm kit (Skytrex Action 200 vehicles with Timecast Infantry).
Le Duc set up table and took 500 Pts of defending British with 4 Chieftain MkV and several Infantry and Mr B and I took Soviets with several T64s and Infantry (some in BRDMs) and a Hind in support.
Another very slick game with this rule set although once again the lack of HE is bit odd, but on plus side we played the game to completion in 3.5 hours which is great for an evening slot (especially at Chateaux Le Duc way out in the sticks) and it is fun with decent level of decision making/resource management involved.
Game saw a lot of action with tank rounds flying and ATGMs not to mention Anti-Air Missiles and Hind attacks.
Le Duc lost all his Chieftains for loss of 4 T64 (not a good ratio for Nato defenders) but did manage to damage the Hind forcing it to abort, but only after it brewed a Chieftain.
An infantry battle in central area saw British take some losses and my attack on left was making good headway when British break point was reached ending game.
Good stuff all round and makes me think of using Iron Cross again.
