Description WWIII has begun in Europe.*
*
Soviet forces have launched a number of audacious landing operations against the Swedish south-eastern coastline. At Kappelskaer, a bridgehead is established with relative ease and Norrtaelje is quickly occupied by Soviet Naval Infantry. Swedish reactions are at first slow and ineffectual. Soviet follow on forces are rapidly inserted into to widen the gap in the Swedish coastal defences. Stockholm, the Swedish capital, is in grave danger.*
*
While air, coastal artillery and naval units concentrate on attempts at severing the Soviet link across the Baltic it becomes necessary to contain the bridgehead at Norrtaelje. IB3 - the Life Brigade - is hurried forward to block the route west near Finsta and Husby Sjuhundra Church.*
*
Moving into position during the dark hours, there is insufficient time to bring more than one reinforced battalion into the line before the morning and the expected Soviet breakout attempt. Numbers will be on the side of the Soviets.*
*
Notes: If played against the AI the human player should take the Swedish side.*
