The Bootie-Rico Wars

Bootie and I have decided to upgrade our series of Random-Everything All-Armour QB's into a campaign.
I whipped up this little mirrored map representing the neighbouring states of The Bootie Republic and The Rico Empire.

The war is started with a border incident at the little frontier town of Glockenspiel where according to Fox News, the nefarious imperialist socialist forces of the Bootie Republic have staged an outrageous provocation... while according to CNN, the militaristic fascist stormtroopers of the Rico Empire have blatantly violated the Treaty of Peace, Everlasting Friendship and Brotherhood brokered by the UN several years ago.

Things will escalate from there until either one of the national capitals, Bootie City or Ricoburg has fallen into enemy hands.

We're playing these battles as 1000 points, random everything AI pick Armour Only battles -- we switch sides for each CM battle.
Winner of the last battle has the initiative and attacks the next hex.
Hexes that are surrounded by enemy hexes are immediatedly captured -- except for towna and cities which have to be captured in battle.
In case of the attacker losing, no hexes change hands, just the initiative passes to the other side who can attack in turn anywhere they wish.
In case of a DRAW, we will replay the battle and the winner captures the opposing hex -- attacker can lose his hex in this case.

All battles are random terrain, except for forested hexes where we will use max tree cover...and towns and cities where town and city maps will be used.

I will post progress and map updates here as we go along -- this is purely a fun campaign and not to be taken too seriously. :)
 
Is there any chance that you could put this up on the FGM for other members to start their own battles with their friends?

The first battle is well underway and probably near completion.

For this first encounter I got the Russian side and was blessed with an all-Conscript OOB of 2 KV-1S, 1 T-34, 4 SU-72, half a dozen Stuarts and a few M-60 light tanks thrown in.
They've done surprisingly well against Bootie's array of Crack PzIIIn's with their stubby little 75's... but there is a kitchen-sink chucker somewhere at the back (and 105 HE shells don't do nice things when scoring a direct hit on a Stuart) and a StuGIII lurking about as well... but so far so good, still have my KV's and SU-76's intact... the Rico Empire might yet win this opening encounter :smokin:

Bootie : Glockenspiel..... they took Glockenspiel!!! Reeko will pay for this border incursion. How did he catch us unawares..... I ordered crack units to that town yesterday to pick up my freshly laundered underwear.

Commander : We were swamped by farmers in tanks.... we couldnt hold them back.

Bootie : Farmers in tanks?? Do these farmers have my underwear? Reeko will pay for this.

Too funny! Love the KJI caricature.

The wrecks of the all important T-34 platoon litter the road after they succumbed to long range fire from Bootie's pzIII's (all turret penetrations... we suspect 5th columnist sabotage in our tank factories)... and alas, our brave forces have not been able to halt the Bootie Republic's latest attack... the T-26's which made up the rest of the force took out a few PzIV's, but don't have enough staying power.

We await the treacherous Bootie Republic's next move -- perhaps an attack on Rico Town?
Revenge shall be ours!
