Blow by Blow: Pakistan Invades India 1965

Acerca de

This is a wargame about the pivotal battle of Assal Uttar 1965 which was one of the largest tank battles after World war two. The Pakistanis launched an offensive to cut off the supplies to the city of Amritsar in the Punjab which was vital to tilting the war in Pakistan's favor. The Pakistani offensive was spearheaded by its Elite 1st Armored division comprised of M47 and M48 Patton and M24 Chafee tanks. The Indian defenders had the 4th Mountain Division backed up by Sherman and AMX tanks but had the advantage of plentiful recoilless rifles, defending in poor terrain(sugar cane fields and rice paddies) as well as reinforcements in the form of the Indian 2nd armored brigade composed of Centurion tanks. The battle was pivotal and led to the loss of many Pakistani tanks. The area of the battle is referred to as Patton Nagar which means Patton city due to the large number of Patton tanks captured and destroyed during the battle.
