South of Hannover, June 10th 1985: The 9th Tank (GDR) Division was the southern claw of the pincers of 20th Guards Army. They too were tasked to get to the River Weser within two days. The problem for them was the country they had to fight over. Initially, they had to push through the Hartz Mountains, then over the River Leine. Once they had achieved this, they still faced the Weserbergland; hilly, wooded country not really suited to armor. But intelligence reported that NATO, realizing how difficult the going was here, did not have a sizable force facing them. However, the units of 1st Pz Division facing them did know the country extremely well. [Size, medium] Designer note: Play as Side 2, Human NATO defender.

I got lucky and found one of his units in T mode guarding a crossing. If it had not been for that I am not sure if I could have achieved a draw. At the same time I think that if I played better I could have exploited it more fully.
