Northern Germany, June 10th 1985: ** Note - As this is a "What If" war and thus there is no historical record to guide us, eight scenarios in this title have been duplicated so that one version provides best play vs. the AI opponent, and a second *a* version has been specifically tailored for Head-to-Head play for the PBEM crew. 10_12a is one of these.
10_12a: Through the Lueneberger Heide (Stronger NATO)
by Saunders & Blackie
The north flank of the 3rd Shock Army was to be covered by the 8th Mot Rifle (GDR) Division, an East German unit attached to a Soviet Army. Their battle plan, although on a smaller scale, was taken from the Germans in WWII who twice swept through the rough terrain of the Ardennes. Here, the Warsaw Pact attempted to slip this division through the Lueneberger Heide, a forested area of northern Germany. It met stiff resistance early from elements of the 11th Panzergrenadier Division's 33rd Pz Brigade, and a cat and mouse struggle ensued as the NATO elements fought a delaying action, while the Warsaw Pact forces drove on to their objectives, the bridges over the River Weser. [Size:
small] Designer note: This scenario is similar to 10_12, but has stronger NATO Forces and may be better for Human vs. Human play.
West Germany, December 25th 1985:
10_09s: Build up to a Winter War
by Robert Mayer
Christmas morning! While a perfect time for a surprise attack, it also wouldn't be a bad time even if NATO and the Warsaw Pact had slowly built up to the level of tension as depicted in scenario 10_07s. With the change in season there will be a longer night\shorter day, and thus less time to move. Players may get more variation in ground conditions if they use the Programmed Weather optional Rule. [Size: large] Designer's notes: Explicit supply is possible.
Verden, south of Bremen, June 11th 1985:
111_02: Relief Under Fire
by Saunders & Blackie
A major encounter had taken place on the Lueneburger Heide between armor from both sides. The 11th Pz Div and 7th Arm'd Bde were licking their wounds, behind a screen, waiting for friends to arrive. In fact, some of their units had already moved out. They were to be relieved in place with fresh Dutch and American troops. The Warsaw Pact Forces were also hurting, but had been resupplied, and were re-organizing, ready to continue their move west. Their orders were to take the bridge at Verden, the secondary objective was the bridge at Achim, further to the north. As the NATO units were to find out, this was to be a "Relief Under Fire!" [Size: medium] Designer note: The British and German units will be withdrawn between 0600 to 0900 hours, Dutch and US units are to be placed to take over the defense. Play as NATO Human vs. the AI.
