All,

It's 1845 on 18 April 1990, and Team 6-4 (plus two men of 6-2) is on the move.  Tico, Blue, and a squad of Cronistrian Democrat Militia (CDM) just blasted a hole in the perimeter of the enemy base at Petroika, and now Team 6-4+ is on the way to the building where Turk and Panda are being held by members of Demjanovic's Tigers, a Serbian commando battalion.  There are also members of the Yugoslavian Army in the area.


Redrum leads the charge on the target building.  He did very well for himself today, earning the Bronze Star with V.  To see how the fight went, please check the blog at:

So right now Rooey, Redrum, Goss, Bolt, and Turk are operating the enemy APC to escape with Blade, Rock, and Panda out of action in the troop hold.  But Serb commandos are moving to intercept them as we speak, so stay tuned for the next batrep.

V/R,
Jack

All,

It's 1545 on 2 June 1990, and war in Cronistria is entering a new phase.  To date, Task Force Trojas has conducted Unconventional Warfare missions with its A-Teams while its B Team trained recruits of the Cronistrian Democrat Militia (CDM) to battle the communists, i.e., the uniformed Cronistrian National Guard (CNG) and the rag-tag Cronistrian People's Army (CPA).  The first battalion of Democrat Militia has been trained and TF Trojas A-team personnel are serving in leadership roles as the B-Team continues to train more men.  The Cronistrian Democrat President, Andraz Gregor, has a nephew in the CDM.  The nephew has fought several battles at TF Trojas' side, and has accounted himself very well.  And so Sasha Kukoc has been given the rank of Captain and made a company commander in the 1st CDM Battalion.

It's time to take the fight to the enemy.  Cronistria is a small, sparsely populated nation, with the major urban center being the capital city of Miran.  Cronistria's fate largely rests on who will ultimately control Miran, and so the CDM Battalion, centered in outlying rural areas, has begun patrolling into the villages lying on the outskirts of the capital.  One such village, lying just southwest of Miran, was about to become a flashpoint; a minor battle that would become a test of wills.

And so Captain Kukoc wasn't expecting much when he and SSgt Escalante ("Blade") led Alpha Company's 2nd Platoon into the village of Brevno, but the show had just begun.


The village of Brevno, north is up.  The locals spotted trouble coming from both east and west and left town.  The village had been untouched by the war; the Inn at top left, the Post Office at top center, Apartments at top right, the City Office at bottom right, and the Manor at bottom left.  A few trees, hedges, haystacks, market stands, and a single (inoperable) automobile dot the otherwise pristine landscape.

This is the magnificent new City Set from Crescent Root, in 15mm. To see how the fight went, please check the blot at:

What a fight, and what a perfect start to this portion of the campaign!  The boy and I had a great time, lots of back and forth, and really it all came down to my being lucky with Captain Kukoc taking the Post Office despite being outnumbered and getting fired at several times at point blank range.

I didn't get any gaming in this weekend, just trying to get caught up on the batreps.  So stay tuned, there are three more to go.

V/R,
Jack

And thanks Phil, I'm glad you liked it.

All,

It's 0715 on 3 June 1990, and Captain Kukoc has ordered GySgt Dos Santos to take a patrol from his 1st Platoon, Alpha Company, back into the village of Brevno to ascertain the enemy situation there.  Yesterday the Cronistrian Democrats of the CDM and the Communists of the CNG had fought a meeting engagement there, before both sides pulled back and shelled the village.


The Democrat patrol advances from the left, the Communist patrol from the right.  The ville is looking a little worse for wear.

The village of Brevno, north is up.  The locals spotted trouble coming from both east and west and left town.  The village consists of the Inn at top left, the Post Office at top center, Apartments at top right, the City Office at bottom right, and the Manor at bottom left.  A few trees, hedges, haystacks, market stands, and a single (inoperable) automobile dot the landscape.  Democrat artillery has struck the Apartment Building, while Communist artillery struck the Inn.
