The Paintball Scenario

This hypothetical scenario recreates a portion of an overall attack on West Germany by the Warsaw Pact. The area surrounding Fulda would have been an obvious route for any aggressor attacking into West Germany in an effort to seize the all-important industrial and financial center of the country and the Rhine/Main River crossings around Frankfurt. In this the Soviet Union has committed the 8th Guards and 1st Guards Tank Armies, supported by Czechoslovakian and East German divisions, to seize Frankfurt as quickly as possible. Given the importance of the objective, air formations have been given the task of sweeping the skies of Allied aircraft and decimating the enemy ground formations. But only the most shortsighted of Soviet commanders expect this to be an easily accomplished objective.

Assigned the mission of defending the Fulda Gap and Frankfurt is the US Army's Fifth Corps and elements of the West German III Korps. Fifth Corp's primary punch is the 3rd Armored Division and one brigade from the 3th Mechanized Division, defending the important US pre-positioned equipment storage sites critical for reinforcing units arriving from the United States. Equipped with M60A1 tanks and the M113 APC, the well-trained GIs are preparing to conduct summer maneuvers. Covering 3rd Armor's front is the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment with the mission of buying the time needed for the rest of the Corps to respond and reach their pre-planned positions. Also assigned to the defense of this area is the West German 5th Panzer Division, no stranger to fighting the Soviets during World War II where many of its former members fell on battlefields deep in the USSR.

Initially caught flatfooted by the viciousness of the attack, American and West German aircraft are soon sparring for dominance of the skies with their Soviet counterparts. For many of the opposing pilots this was nothing new as they had faced one another before in the hostile skies over North Korea, Vietnam and other unnamed conflicts of the simmering Cold War.

Finally, hanging over the battlefield is the very real threat posed by chemical and nuclear weapons. Combined with a determination by the West to stop the Soviet juggernaut at any cost and the USSR's hunger for the rich territories of central Europe, the use of these terrible weapons of destruction becomes a real possibility.

Now it's up to you to determine the outcome of the opening moves of World War III!
