The Battle For Denmark

 It's our annual big CWC meet up this weekend. After last year's cancellation (after last year full stop really) it's been great to catch up with the chaps and meet a few new faces too. This year we have returned to the Danish-West German border for the game. To my shame, I've been enjoying the game that much that I've only taken a handful of photos.

The dockyards, scene of a Soviet naval landing and more fantastic scenery by Mr Richard Phillips.

My Marders. After dropping off their infantry they set up a "Milan screen" and helped put Ian's T55s to the sword. Behind them my Leopard 1s have taken cover and started shooting up the Red Peril.

Ian's BTR mounted infantry withstood a barrage of fire but continued to advance bravely. In the background his T55s lost out in a long range firefight with my Leos and Marders.

Looking to my right across the other sectors of the battlefield defended by British infantry and the USMC.

The high mark of the Soviet advance in the centre. The battle for the airfield developed into a right tear up as Soviet T64s engaged a handful of British Chieftains and Milan posts at point-blank range, before being repulsed.

Meanwhile, the battle for the woods in my sector was turning into a bloodbath as Ian's Soviet infantry repeatedly close assaulted the West German defenders.

On my right another couple of infantry companies mauled an advancing Soviet infantry battalion.

So at the end of day 1, the NATO centre and right are looking secure. On the left however, the Danes are struggling to hold back the Soviet naval and airborne landings...
