Bolt out of the Blue 5.3

As far as the WP invasion im still working on it but its very close to what could have happened and now you can see structure in the WP armies.Ive had to make adjustments of course because theres no 30,45 or 90 day buildup so some units just cant be ready yet. Ive just ordered a couple more books from Germany on the subject but from one of the maps ive already seen in the book i am already about 75% correct even in the Berlin plans from exercises the WP had in the 80s. The 5th and 7th Tank Armies are the final puzzle, they would have been the units that make the final break through to France and again here i had to eliminate some CAT 3 tank divisions in Byelorussian MD and add in a couple from Moscow MD and Kiev MD to make it plausible.As far as the Polish division up on the border and ready to go this while not impossible would have been very unlikely but for game reasons ive put them there because without having at least 1 division from NGF on the map it would have let a WP player move the whole of the NGF anywhere on the map as they showed up, this keeps them on there path. If i think of another way it will be adjusted (94th MRD assigned to NGF, seen it in the NVA plans) . So long story short as the WP attack has come along way there will be adjustments to it down the road after the rest of the books i ordered show up, ive already seen the 2 Independent tank rgts of the 2gTA assigned to the NVA 5th which is interesting that Soviet units were under NVA command,well interesting to me anyways.


Of course all of this is just based off clues from exercises in the 80s and accounts from the people who were there because the actual plans were in the hands of the Soviets and will most likely never be known.
