NOTE! If you have not played the WP version of this scenario I advise you to play that one first!*

BACKGROUND:  
The cold war has finally turned into a raging WWIII. The Warsaw Pact troops started their operation of flooding western Europe with their endless number of men, guns and armour. While they made noticeable advance into West German territory the withdrawing NATO line still holds even though it gets thinner day by day, hour by hour. The Warsaw Pact forces do their best probing for a weak spot in NATO defences, then break through and eliminate NATO presence in Europe once and for all.*

This scenario depicts a depleted BTR regiment supported by a fresh T80 battalion and other support elements assaulting the NATO line*  
*
The scenario is designed to be played with the human player as the West Germany side against a Soviet Union AI.*

ORDERS:*
Herr Oberst! As you know our situation all along the front is most difficult. We must not let the Russians break through before the reinforcements come across the Atlantic.*
My intel officer implies that a new assault is being prepared in your sector. Our satellite photos show that a depleted BTR regiment around 50 percent in strength is the main force together with an armour unit that has just recently arrived. The photos also show artillery unit movements resembling to deployment patterns used for assaults.*
Mein Oberst the schwerpunkt is in your sector. I know your Landwehr unit lacks heavy equipment so I have sent to your sector every bit of spare heavy equipment I could. You have an American recon unit temporarily under your command, use them wisely, they have the newest TI equipment that has to balance the heavy quantitive advantage the Russians have.*
You will also get artillery air and armour support later on you MUST hold with what you have until then.*
The remaining civilians have worked hard all night to get your men dug in and also prepared additional revetments to fall back to.*
*
Intel:*
Our intel information about the attacking force in your sector is the following:*
1.In front of you a depleted BTR Regiment and at least a full T80 battalion is preparing for assault.*
2.There are many other support elements attached.*
3.Hinds have been sighted in the area.*
4.Prepare for heavy artillery and air attacks.*

Good luck!*
