East Germany, 210 miles east of Frankfurt, June 30th 1985: After the collaps of the WP forces at Eisennach and Erfurt, the remaining Warsaw Pact divisions withdrew in disarray to the cities of Halle and Leipzig. Only local resistance at key points could be formed. Rumours of riots and civil unrest as well as the slaughter of civilians to quell this problem by Russian KGB and East German STASI units reach NATO frontline troops. West German troops are inspired to put an end the madness and free their brothers and sisters in the East. However, Soviet HQ has other plans. They will hold the cities at all costs and await possible reinforcements from Poland. [Size: medium] Designer's notes: Best played as NATO or Human vs. Human. Explicit Supply is possible.

A decent scenario but you have to have an iron stomach to play it as the Warsaw Pact (if you aren't going to be gamey and just withdraw all your forces).
From the WP side, it feels like you are fighting with toys at times -- esp at night, low vis.
