Operation Bagration is a GO!

As was mentioned a few times already, May 18th marked the beginning of the Legio Malaysia's Flames of War Firestorm: Bagration campaign. The start to this campaign couldn't be better.

Katyusha Barrage

For my first game, my Panzerkompanie was pitted up against the Red Army; hordes of infantry and tanks. This by far, was my toughest wargame across all formats I've ever played. Greatly outnumbered and continuously pressured by multiple barrages and insanely superior numbers, I rode my luck all the way as I somehow managed to turn the tide. The Most Valuable Platoon (MVP) for this game was my Gepanzerte Aufklarungs platoon as it mowed down two squads of 20 infantry bases all on their own. Mounted Assault MG Teams in 3rd Edition rocks!

End

Again, this is the craziest and the most epic game ever. I am really hoping that I won't have to go through this experience again, the stress level was a bit too much (was profusely sweating and the chest was pounding inside throughout the game). Credits to Shukur for this epic battle.

Update: Realised that I have yet to post any picture of another Firestorm platoon I've painted for the campaign. Here is the 10.5cm Artillery Battery Firestorm Platoon, and I'm sure Khairul is going to love the platoon markings I've made for them. For certain reasons, I'm not going to post that particular image up, you'll have to see it yourself.
