Team Yankee Battle Report 1; Proxy War

With the rules for Battlefront's new Team Yankee Cold War now fully available if you know where to look (hint: it involves friendly local gaming stores) I decided to try a relatively simple test game to see how things work.

There were a few problems with this, though:

1. I didn't have the proper minis for any of the vehicles I'd want to use. So, time for proxies.
2. I don't have any proper wargaming terrain at home; that's all at the FLGS. Fortunately, I had some stuff to improvise with.
3. I didn't have an opponent. Easily solved by playing both sides, with some helpful tactical input from a few anonymous posters on a certain imageboard.

The forces used would be like this:

Red Banner Tank Division

BMP Motor Rifle Battalion

HQ AK-74 and BMP-2 - 2 points - proxied with WW2 Soviet infantry and a reversed T-34/76

BMP-2 Motor Rifle Company: 4 AK-74, 3 RPG-7, 4 BMP-2 - 8 points - proxied with WW2 Soviet infantry and reversed T-34/76s

BMP-2 Motor Rifle Company: 4 AK-74, 3 RPG-7, 4 BMP-2 - 8 points - proxied with WW2 Soviet infantry and reversed T-34/76s

2S1 SP Howitzer Battery: 3 2S1 - 5 points - proxied with reversed T-34/85s

T-72 Company: 6 T-72 - 27 points - proxied with T-55s

25th Armoured Division

M1 Abrams Armoured Combat Team

HQ: 1 M1 Abrams - 8 points - proxied with a M48 Patton

M1 Abrams Platoon: 2 Abrams - 16 points - proxied with M48 Pattons

M1 Abrams Platoon: 2 Abrams - 16 points - proxied with M48 Pattons

M113 Mech Platoon: 4 SAW, 4 Dragon, 4 M113 - 7 points - proxied with Canadian infantry and turretless welded-hull Shermans

M106 Heavy Mortar Platoon: 3 M106 - 3 points - proxied with turretless cast-hull Shermans

Both sides have 50 points of units. All are part of their formations, with no support units from the larger organisation.

So, what would the battlefield look like?
