The brave, if not desperate, actions of the 102nd Border Security Company bought enough time for their allies to arrive. British and US special forces have arrived in Weferlingen ahead of the main columns. Specially outfitted with the most sophisticated Anti-Tank weaponry available, they are tasked with neutralising the threat of East-German and Polish Armour. 

The ‘war’ rages on all fronts, however the rapid progress of the Warsaw Pact forces has been stagnated. Enemy movement has been reduced to a crawl, only managing to push a few kilometres in a week, this is partly due to the heroic actions of the 102nd and partly the near constant barrage of NATO artillery harassing the enemies every move.

 A definitive strike here in Weferlingen could turn the tide of the war. NATO Taskforce #17 consisting of US and British special forces has absorbed the now battle-hardened, yet depleted, 102nd Border Security Company for use as local guides. Together they are tasked with striking East German tank columns and supply infrastructure, especially AAA emplacements.

If the force is successful, then Weferlingen will be suitably prepared for a large scale counter-attack from the combined NATO armoured columns which are due to arrive any day now. Should they fail, NATO will lose a critical weapon from their arsenal, their elite special forces units. The commander has been briefed on the initial critical objectives, however intelligence analysts are working in overdrive to identify and locate additional high value targets within the operating area.

NATO has dispatched two F16C jets to the theatre to ensure the success of such a vital mission. However these war winning weapons are unfortunately grounded until ground units can disable the AA threat.
