Armageddons Dawn
D+4 | 24 July 1989, 04:00hrs - 10:00hrs vs @ Norderfurt
Scenario Notes: This scenario is based on the scenario "Soviet Main Attack Force". The units on both sides are the same as the parent scenario. Nuclear and chemical weapons have been added to allow the player to explore and compare how such weapons of mass destruction can effect the modern battlefield.
Stung by the escape of the 11th Armored Cavalry and enraged by the American attack on their supply dump, the Soviet High Command decided to clear this sector of all NATO troops. A highly placed NATO spy in the Soviet Command structure managed to tip off his handler that an offensive was being planned near Norderfurt and when that information was confirmed by West German aerial recon then NATO decided to make a stand.
A battalion from the West German 26th Fallschirmjager was ordered to take the hill northwest of Noderfurt and to hold it at all costs until reinforcements arrive.
Meanwhile, the 3rd Brigade of the US 3rd Armored Division was being rushed into the area just as the Soviet’s offensive began.
What was not understood by NATO HQ, the Soviets have decided that the time to escalate the conflict and began to move their unconventional forces forward.
Based on Flashpoint Germany Scenario "Soviet Main Attack Force".
