Schweinfurt, June 10th 1985: In the northern part of the battle, the two Soviet 8th Army divisions involved had suffered different fortunes. The 39th GMRD had clashed with NATO units around Bad Kissingen and both sides had taken losses, but they were hoping to be able to push on. However, in the 79th GTD area there had been little opposition, except for airstrikes, so they were pressing on to Schweinfurt. The US 3rd ID (M)'s 1st Brigade was situated right in the path of the Soviets. They had just moved out, to hopefully stop the 79th GTD in its tracks, but had little idea of the direction of the main Soviet advance. It was the "Lull Before the Storm". [Size, small] Designer's Note: This scenario has designed for HTH play.

The town can be defended if the reds do not get an early crossing of the river in the South - East. If they do and manage to cross in force , the southern area is pretty much undefendable with the resources available and the time neceessary for the sector to be held.
