We're in the summer of 1985 and Europe is at war...
14 May 1985 - 0600 AM
The start of WW3 was nor heralded by the scream of artillery barrages, but by the rotor noises of Mi28 transport choppers...aiming at Nato logistical structures...one of them was on the Nedjerossa little city...
Scenario : Air Assault
This scenario is the beginning of ww3, the US have to protect 3 buildings for 6 turns...too bad the 3 squads that starts the scenario have to pass a MC to move or fire and they are outnumbered almost 5:1.
Turn One : Soviet Initiative
Before the start, the US were enjoying a rare moment of peace, soviets training drills were nothing out of the ordinary and the days were passing as normal.
Not on 14 of May were, at dawn, four soviet's transport helicopters and a Hind trespassed the iron curtain.
Each helicopter was carrying two squads and a leader, hoping to use numbers to overwhelm the three lonely squads each one guarding a building.
The first chopper was welcomed by a US mg fire that damaged it and forced it to leave the map before disemarking.
The others managed to succesfully land their payloads and ww3 officially started.
Turn two - three : Soviet Initiative
The soviet forces were making progresses, two of three objectives were secured and they were reorganizing to get the last one.
Turn four : Soviet Initiative
US reinforcements arrived. The Hind and the AT-3 tried to destroy the M1 just arrived to relieve the remnants of Team Yankee, but they both failed and the ATGM team got shaken by OP fire.
The rest of the American units arrived at the town's outskirts.
The soviets cleared the last US squad survived from the beginning and claimed the last objective.
Turn five : Soviet Initiative
Both forces clashed into a heavy urban house-by-house streets fight and casualties were mounting.
The just arrived US fresh forces manged to clear the soviets from one of the objectives and got a heavy foothold into the city.
Turn six : Soviet Initiative
The soviets here tried a last rush to reclaim the objective, destroyed an M113 in close assault and eliminated almost all the US forces on the objective but the assaulters were killed too in the process.
The M1 just barely missed the Hind by 1.
The scenario ended with an American victory.
