World At War 85: Blood and Fury Expansion Operation Red Gauntlet

The Ultimate Resource

”It’s a Matter of Bridges, Comrade Colonel”.
 

The General’s words to the young colonel standing inches in front of him rang out, steady and even, yet somehow more thunderous than a howitzer. “We grossly outnumber NATO’s Northern Army Group in tanks, guns, troops, even aircraft. When we deem to finish them off, we will crush them as swiftly and mercilessly as we have these last few days. But if we do not seize the Weser, and subsequently the Rhine bridges, then this offensive stops right here in West Germany. This war, this righteous war for the security of our Motherland, will grind to a halt and drag out for who knows how long.”

“So be bold! Be audacious! Take the bridges, secure our advance, and I will reinforce your success. Otherwise...”

“… Otherwise, Comrade-General?”

The General tut-tutted, almost absolutely downplaying the seriousness of his answer.

“We die.”
