As a result of a crippling terrorist attack against the Nizhnevartovsk Oil Field in Russian Siberia, the USSR is faced with a looming fuel crisis on top of rising instability within the nation. The Politburo of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union have devised a plan, to secure and to then make use the vast oil fields of the Persian gulf, however, this action will almost definitely warrant a NATO response. The Politburo believe the NATO alliance to be a weakened state, and through launching a surprise offensive against West Germany it is believed by the hawks with the Politburo that scoring this victory against NATO will allow the USSR to secure a favourable deal over rights to Persian oil.

Despite vast failures in the KGBs plan to disrupt nuclear weapons storage sites, communications posts and storage depots, the ports within Hamburg and Bremen have both been blocked by Spetsnaz assault teams. A combined Russian and East German formation has advanced further than any other Warsaw Pact unit into West German territory, threatening the city of Hamburg, with both sides taking heavy losses. NATO forces are outnumbered, however, have the advantages of holding a defensive position and, in several locations, maintaining local air superiority.

14th June 1987, D+1, Rosche, West Germany - The West German 19th Panzergrenadier Brigade launch a desperate counterattack against Warsaw Pact forces in order to relieve pressure on the city of Hamburg.
