In the autumn of 1983 Eastern block and the West were in the most heated stages of the cold war. The tipping point was when a soviet pilot went into West Germany airspace and dropped a fuel tank above the city of Szlachter which started a fire in which 17 civilians perished. Immediate response from the West was that the Eastern block must demilitarize border with West Germany and forgive the debt from the Second World War. Many knew that the East was not going to accept these demands, so they prepared for war. West Germany decided to strike first, as the fight is inevitable.

We are playing in the role of 7th Infantry Brigade with support from the 12th Armoured Leopards. Our forces also have 5 Transport trucks, 2 armoured carriers (M113 type), 3 Leopard A3 tanks, 1 ammunition and 1 refuelling truck alongside a last case emergency pontoon bridge logistic tank. The West is unable to have Air support because of Soviet strong AA capabilities, but luckily for us, neither are Soviets, since the West also has strong AA.

Enemy consists of the combined Polish and Soviet forces. Our opposition will be the 3rd Mechanized Infantry battalion from the Soviets and 214th Polish Armoured brigade. Enemy also has heavy artillery support from the 36th Battery.

Our task is to take control of Checkpoint Dora, after which we will secure the bridge and secure the city of Eilte. We are expecting a heavy Soviet counterattacks after we capture the city.
