Overall the result was a decisive Warsaw Pact Victory.

Whilst I could not capture Quadrant 2, I got the VP's for Quadrant 1 and stopped NATO from getting any.
US forces lost 62% of their troops whilst I took 56% casualties.

The Battle :
I think my plan was sound although the execution of the initial attacks was poor due to lack of artillery preparation and an over hasty attack.
Whilst losses may seem extremely high, I think they are realistic due to the high tempo and lethality of modern combat. Artillery and manoeuvre are critical to force units out of prepared positions.

The Game :
I am not going to comment extensively on a game that is still in development but I will just say I'm thoroughly enjoying testing it.
There are obviously things to do but Robert Crandall is fantastic at responding to feedback and bug reports and the game improves with each new version.

Once again I would just caution people that this AAR is based on a BETA version of the game and is not necessarily representative of the final game. Hope you enjoyed it.
