June 12, 1985: As the 3d Shock Army ground its way across the North German Plain, it had its sights set on the rich industrial heartland of the Ruhr. Increasingly, however, the numerous rivers and canals of this part of Germany promised delay and disruption. On the night of June 12, the 7th Guards Airborne Division landed between the Ruhr and the Lippe rivers, near the town of Werl and the city of Hamm. Their mission: seize the land bridge between the two rivers and pave the way for the 3rd Shock Army's vanguard to pass through to the Ruhr. With the 12th Guards Tank Division still hours away, the men of the 7th would have to fight fast and hard to avoid becoming a Hamm sandwich for the rapidly consolidating NATO forces advancing on the landing zones. Four decades after Market-Garden the limits of airborne operations were still being explored in Northwest Europe. [Size medium] Designer Note: Plays best as NATO Human vs WP AI.
