Total War in Germany 3.0

[Outlaw Josey Wales]

Don't know about the WP Scuds, but their were 9 Pershing Bns (3 US and 6 WG). I was Infantry Security in a Pershing unit 80-82. Our understanding then was if WP conventional occured we were to pack and run toward France and or Belgium and the Netherlands. We had 5 Batteries, A, B, C, D and Service. One Battery would be at Comabt Alert Site for 3 months, one prepping for CAS, one in garrison and one on field exercises. Cas is immediate war footing that if nukes were used, ours would be raised and fired at Czechoslovakia within minutes. That's 9 missiles from our battery alone. Each Bn was set up that way making 81 nukes at the ready. I don't remember any contingent for firing a conventional warhead.

On another note, the US Cav units are wrong to be in garrison in my opinion. There would be one bn in garrison, one in field training and one patrolling the border at all times. Alot of the combat units were same way with units in field training. I personally don't believe WP could have surprised NATO too badly at all. Also in the air, there was a constant CAP to some capacity 24/7 over Europe. I know there was always a squadron assigned directly for the Pershing units, 1/3 resting, 1/3 at the ready and 1/3 in flight. The purpose was to bomb our sites in case of their capture by some russki SF or terrorist units. Destruction would have been near complete if not 100%. We almost suffered that fate because one of our experienced radio operators was off smoking hash leaving a rookie in the commo truck for that person's first time and she was giving the wrong reply to the security check. It takes a total of 15 minutes allowing for mistakes before the first bombs are dropped. We were 30 seconds away from that when the other guy returned and caught it. Needless to say, he was busted and transferred to another unit farther north, but not before he got his ass kicked a few times before getting on the bus.

Still having great fun with the team game we have going tho, you guys are doing a great job.
