The Way of the Warrior - a Slammer's Scenario

The Slammers had already lost their commander on that wing - Carbury - and so were down to a Sergeant in a command car. On the opposite flank Kuykendall's command tank came under attack and she lost her main gun and then blew her tribarrel desperately defending herself and was down to setting off the anti-buzzbomb system aimed at nearby enemy infantry. In addition, she'd lost another tank in her detachment too and the cars were coming up fast behind but… not fast enough. The Sincanmo took a pasting from on and off table ballistic fire (artillery from the Thunderbolts and an MLRS from the Hashemites) but they managed to locate and kill the second Sincanmo sniper so the loss of their missile firing buggies coincided with the death of their forward observer/designating sniper. But - in the process - the Thunderbolts had taken a pounding. On a road in a gully between two low hills they had taken many tank and APC hits from both missile and blower tank main guns and - in the final turn (and to avenge the death of Slick in the turn before) a Slammer's blower charged with all of the remaining leadership points 45inches down that road, simply barging aside wrecked Thunderbolt half tracks, setting off it's strip mines at infantry hiding on the ridge and killing some and - at the end of the run - rapid firing his main gun at Broglie's Tank destroyer. As Broglie himself had said to Slick "The time when heroes put on their armour and went off to single combat…" was indeed over and… the tank missed it's target. Broglie survived.
