'74_11s: Forge the Thunderbolt - MC 02 Fulda Gap '85

***IMPORTANT NOTE*** The files for this scenario are included in the download for Red Tide Across Fulda. Thüringer Wald, 126 miles east of Frankfurt, June 25th 1974: After securing the southern approaches to Frankfurt in the Heilbron area, the US 1st Armored Division briefly began refitting for its next task. In the Thüringer Wald area, south of Erfurt, the West German 12th Panzer Division found a weak spot between two Soviet armies. This weak area was exploited and the Soviets hastily rushed two Polish motorized rifle divisions into the area to drive back the salient. However, as the Polish begin their counter attack they are completely unaware that the US 1st Brigade of the 1st Armored Division has been deployed to the center of this salient in order to breakthrough and exploit a drive on Erfurt. The 1st Battalion of the 37th Armored Regiment now has the unenviable task of "forging the thunderbolt." [Size: medium] Designer's notes: Explicit supply is possible.
