10_03: First Encounter - MC 02 Fulda Gap '85

Bad Hersfeld, West Germany, June 10th 1985: The troopers of the 3rd Squadron, 11th Armoured Cavalry Regiment, were awakened by the sound of artillery fire to the East. The WP forces are now sweeping past the border defences with little difficulty and the next day will be a brutal test of the NATO resolve. The squadron commander knows full well that there is no chance to stop the advancing forces but his job is to slow them down to a crawl and make them pay for every square foot of West Germany that they occupy. As the troops race to their vehicles, the operations officer is desperately attempting to break through the radio jamming and call for air support and attack helicopters as the first Soviet MIGs fly overhead. Buckle up - the cavalry rides again! [Size: small] Designer’s notes: Best played as Human vs. Human or NATO.
