Elddopet (Baptism of Fire)*
*
Date: May 12, 1941 *
*
Battle Location: Between Torna-Hallestad and Revinge, Sweden*
*
Battle Type: "Hypothetical" Sweden Delay vs. German Advance*
*
Description: You got the news over the crackling radio as you were out on manouvres with your company. Germany had, following the attack by an unknown group against a train transporting German soldiers through Sweden, decided to invade.*
*
The attack was carried out during the early morning of May 12th, in almost the same way as Germany's invasion of Denmark and Norway.*
*
German bombers and fighters attacked Swedish military airfields while German units landed in major Swedish ports, their transport ships being disguised as cargo vessels. At the same time German paratroops jumped close to major military installations. In the far north, German units in Norway crossed the border into Sweden.*
*
This is what little information you managed to get before being ordered back to your regiment in Revinge.*
*
Marching back along the small country roads one of your Sergeants draws your attention and tells you to listen. You can't hear it at first, but then, yes, well surely it can't be? Can it?*
*
The ominous roar of airplane engines draw nearer.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Swedish side.*
*
Source: Loosely based on the fictional novel "Attentatet i Palsjo skog" by Hans Alfredsson*
