11_02: Relief Under Fire - MC 04 North German Plain '85

Verden, south of Bremen, June 11th 1985: A major encounter had taken place on the Lueneburger Heide between armor from both sides. The 11th Pz Div and 7th Arm'd Bde were licking their wounds, behind a screen, waiting for friends to arrive. In fact, some of their units had already moved out. They were to be relieved in place with fresh Dutch and American troops. The Warsaw Pact Forces were also hurting, but had been resupplied, and were re-organizing, ready to continue their move west. Their orders were to take the bridge at Verden, the secondary objective was the bridge at Achim, further to the north. As the NATO units were to find out, this was to be a "Relief Under Fire!" [Size: medium] Designer note: The British and German units will be withdrawn between 0600 to 0900 hours, Dutch and US units are to be placed to take over the defense. Play as NATO Human vs. the AI.
