Another Fistful of TOWS 3 game. This time visiting the Iran-Iraq war.
The Iraqis are to defend the terrain and prevent an Iranian armoured breakthrough.
There was no real point in trying to sit around in defense as the range of our guns were far less than the opposition Chieftains, and we were limited in our number of Saggers to two per APC.
The revolutionary guard didn't seem to be too eager to come forward, even an accidental shelling by their regular army allies didn't encourage them!
The opposition didn't notice me moving up my AA units till it was too late, and I managed to shoot down one of the helicopters. Surprisingly in the next turn they didn't withdraw the remaining two and both of those ended up shot down as well!
So despite being shot to pieces and only holding one defensive position I managed to scrape a win.

Squeeze
Fistful of TOWs in an early WW2 setting.
French trying to hold a river crossing from a German assault, waiting for assistance from the British who are finishing off their tea.
The Germans make swift advance down the table but the German off table artillery suffer loses from counterbattery fire, losing 2 of its three elements.
The British reinforcements turn up to the Germans rear on the right, first a couple of Recce units but soon followed by some proper armour in the shape of A10 and A13s. A French force of 6 CharBis appear on the Germans left flank, as more British armour pours in.
Just in time, the Germans get some reinforcements in the form of some self-propelled guns.
The German attack into the village becomes more frenzied with the slow crawling approach of the CharBis worrying them somewhat.
Finally, the French battalion breaks giving the Germans victory.
(This has been retroactively published a few years after the event based on an old draft, hence no images and scant details)
