The Invasion of Sweden

Whew!  Just finished a super fast game brought about by the generous loan of my brother Sgt. Strange's 20mm "Swiss Army".   Thought it would be fun to use AK 47 Reloaded for a Cold War game.  And it was!  AK 47 rules! 

So, it is 1987 and the Soviet High Command are convinced that the seizing of Sweden must be the main objective in any conflict with the West.  A crack armoured division is given the honour of spearheading the invasion, and begins motoring through Northern Sweden.  Unfortunately, the Swedish 7th Brigade, fresh from Switzerland, races to meet the invaders.

Soviets draw first blood.  The Swedes respond with American airpower.

But it is completely ineffective!  The Soviets laugh and charge forward shooting wildly.  The S-Tanks remain stationary and also shoot wildly.  The Swedes then disembark from their M113s.

They manage to successfully call in another American airstrike.  This time it is very deadly.

BTR-80's are burning, and all of the T-72's end up being pinned!  An incredible airstrike!!  The Soviets have to take a huge Morale Test with eight dice(!) and fail four of them which means they have to rout.  Zap.  Game over.
