Here are the last intro files to the section dealing with US - USSR confrontation.
April 26, 1945 - Colonel, you've been briefed on the hostile Russian advance across the Elbe. I don't have any answers for you, only orders. Proceed at once to Leckwitz and stop their advance. Treat them as you would German forces. A mech infantry company and a Ranger platoon will be waiting at your jump-off point. You will have artillery support. Now get moving!
And:
April 28, 1945 - Intelligence intercepts indicate that the Russian Tank Army along with a brigade of cavalry attached are planning on cutting off the entire 5th Corps. They're even talking of a victory party at Magdeburg. Well, let's spoil that party. You are to engage the enemy and drive them back from Bitterfeld. A platoon of heavy TDs, some light tanks, and infantry are being attached to your force. Weather is lousy so no air. Divisional artillery is tied up so you'll have to get your own.
April 29, 1945 - Time to finish the job, Colonel. As long as the Soviets hold Bitterfeld, the threat against 5th Corps is very real. You are to move in quickly and gain control of the town. Enemy reinforcements are on the way to your location. You'll be given some recon forces and infantry support tanks. Up to you to arrange your artillery situation. Get to it, Colonel.
April 30, 1945 - Operation Harvester begins at 0800, Colonel. You are to bring your TF to the edge of no man's land and move quickly to reinforce the paratrrops and gliders landing in the enemy's rear. They won't hold out long without your help. Some air support will be on call, but you'll have to again count on your own artillery and infantry. The bridges and crossings to the east of Bad Duben must be taken and held at all costs.
Then:
May 2, 1945 We've got 'em on the run, Colonel. Looks like we own the skies. We are crossing the Elbe in strength today. You'll have to use the landing craft to ferry your troops and vehicles across. Remember, the Russians are capable of anything at this point. Watch your back! (Scenario note: To load a vehicle onto a barge, move them adjacent to each other, click on barge, then load button, then click on vehicle) You will have air, artillery and infantry support for this drive. Finish 'em!
Lower scores may give you these battles:
The situation is still quite critical. We're feeding in what we can to the front lines. In the meantime, your orders are to hold Leckwitz! All we can send is an infantry company, an engineer platoon and a battery of SP guns. The Brits are sending one of their FAOs to call in air support if needed. You must hold Leckwitz and the key bridges at all costs.
Next:
Colonel, a strong Soviet Guards armored force is moving to take Leipzig. You are to stop them. Part of CCA, 5th Armored Division will attached to your Task Force. You'll have SP guns, a recon unit, artillery support and aircraft are on call. You'll need hard-hitting, fast-moving units. You have a lot of ground to cover and not much time to do it. Infantry of the 29th will support your attack.
