#S10_02s: Clash of Titans – Maximum Warsaw Pact Effort<br />

Fulda Gap region, West Germany, June 10th 1985: Tensions around the world between<br />

Warsaw Pact and NATO have escalated to the point where full-scale war is imminent.<br />

Both sides have mobilised and have been preparing for a conflict. In the morning hours of<br />

June 10th, the wait came to an end as Warsaw Pact forces surged across the border and<br />

World War III began. [Size: very large] <strong><strong>Design</strong>er's</strong> <strong>note</strong>s: Best played as NATO. In this<br />

variant, the Polish 3rd Army arrives on the map. Explicit supply is possible.<br />

#S11_01s: Night fighting 101<br />

Schweinfurt area, West Germany, June 13th 1985: The Thermal Imaging System, or TIS,<br />

was thought to be a luxury and a non-essential item by many countries around the world.<br />

On June 13th the East Germans successfully bypassed and surrounded American and<br />

West German forces in and around the area of Schweinfurt. The US VII Corps quickly<br />

diverted two brigades of the 1st Armoured Division to this area to relieve the determined<br />

defenders. A majority of the East German units begin initiating sleep plans for the night<br />

and eagerly await dawn to resume their assault on Schweinfurt. They are actually about to<br />

receive a valuable lesson in night fighting and witness first hand why the US Army owns<br />

the night... [Size: medium] <strong><strong>Design</strong>er's</strong> <strong>note</strong>s: Thinking a counter attack by the Americans<br />

was unlikely, a majority of the East German forces are resting for the night for the final<br />

assault on Schweinfurt. The commanders of these units will release them for offensive<br />

operations at dawn. Explicit supply is recommended. When explicit supply is selected<br />

US and West German transport aircraft will drop supplies for the defenders of<br />

Schweinfurt.<br />

S15_01: The Canadian Connection<br />

Würzburg area, 65 miles southeast of Frankfurt, June 15th 1985: The 4th Canadian<br />

Mechanised Brigade Group acting as corps reserve for the IV US Corps has been tasked<br />

with blocking the lead elements of the 3rd East German Army. The intent is for the<br />

Canadian Brigade to act as the anvil and hold the lead division while the remainder of the<br />

Corps attacks from the South to relieve Würzburg. Approaching is the 11th Motorised<br />

Rifle Division, a fresh formation with four days of easy travel behind them. The next day<br />

and a half will prove to be a very long time for the beleaguered Canadians. [Size: small]<br />
