Soviet Campaign 2
SN1 A Beautiful Morning

| @ Erbendorf
The war against NATO begins this morning. NATO forces are slowly moving forward into their planned war positions. Along the Waldnaab and Fichtelnaab Rivers, a territorial Infantry Battalion has moved into position to hold the bridges along the A93 and B299.
The 35th Separate Guards Airborne Assault Brigade’s (35th ODShBR) first mission is to capture bridges East of Erbendorf near the A93. The plan is for them to hold the bridges until the 12th Guards Tank Division arrives around 1400. The 1st Battalion has the task to seize the bridges near Windischeschenbach and to protect the Northwestern flank of the Brigade.
NOTE: The area East of the long minefield is intended to be behind Soviet lines. NATO air defences are not able to reach into the area and none of their direct or indirect weapons will engage in this area.

| @ Kinding
NATO has been unable to stop the advance of the Soviets, especially in the gap between Frankfurt and Munich. NATO continues to push forces forward as they arrive, but they are finding it hard to stop the penetrations across the front.
The 35th ODShBR first mission was successful. The Brigade managed to seize the bridges and hand them over to the 12 Guards Tanks Division. The Brigade was then pulled back to rest and recover before the next task. Forty Eight hours after landing near Erbendorf, the Brigade is being sent into battle. This attack is a day earlier than the initial plan called for, but the Brigade is off to Kinding to secure a key road node along the A9.
NOTE: The area in the southeast corner behind the minefield is intended to be behind Soviet lines. NATO air defences are not able to reach into the area and none of their direct or indirect weapons will engage in this area.

NATO has been unable to stop the advance of the Soviets, especially in the gap between Frankfurt and Munich. NATO continues to push forces forward as they arrive, but they are finding it hard to stop the penetrations across the front.
The 79th Airmobile Brigade has had a couple of successful missions. The battle at Kinding was important in helping increase the size of the hole in the NATO defence line. The lead elements of the Warsaw Pact attack are West of Munich, near Augsburg. NATO is sending the US 6th Infantry Division into the area. The lead brigade is expected to be crossing the Neckar river around 0900 this morning.
As practised during the lead up to the war, the 79th is going to be inserted into a position to delay the American forces. The area just East of the Neckar River, near Kirchheim, has been identified as the best location for this action.
As the Brigade starting embarking on their choppers, the Brigade Commander and his deputy were killed in an explosion. You have been chosen to command the Brigade for this mission. Success will bring you a promotion!
NOTE: The area in the southeast corner behind the minefield is intended to be behind Soviet lines. NATO air defences are not able to reach into the area and none of their direct or indirect weapons will engage in this area.

SN4 All That Glitters

The gap in the NATO defence has widen. They are rushing forces into place to create a new defence line. Elements of the French 2e Division Blindee (Armoured) are moving towards the Neckar River South of Stuggart to plug the gap and set up a new defence line along the river. At least one Infantry Battalion arrived in the area around 1800 on 25 July.
The 35th ODShBR continues to shine. Their actions near Kirchheim helped slow down the US forces and allowed for more Warsaw Pact forces to push West unimpeded. Getting the Brigade out of Kirccheim was challenging, but was another successful operation.
After a short rest, the Brigade is ready to go back into action along the Neckar River. This time, they will be helping the 11th Guards Tank Division get across the river near Rottenburg.
NOTE: The area in the southeast corner is intended to be behind Soviet lines. NATO air defences are not able to reach into the area and none of their direct or indirect weapons will engage in this area.
