NATO’s NightmareThe game explores the possibility that the so-called Cold War turns hot around 1985, on one of the most emblematic front, Germany.The starting assumption is that Gorbachov loses power to a group of hardliners who decide it is time for the Soviet Union (and its Pact allies) to strike first, while they still enjoy superiority in numbers and surprise. The fear that the current advantage will vanish over time and they know they can’t win the new technological arms race launched by the West. On NATO’s side, such an attack would for sure be the nightmare everyone fears, but the situation is slightly better than in the 1970’s, when the advantage in morale, equipment and preparation was much bigger in favour of the other side. The ScenariosThe goal of the game is to explore different cases, from small engagements in limited sectors of the front to complete campaigns covering half or the whole map. The game will offer: •FAR 1985: a 5-turns scenario exploring the Soviet invasion of Bavaria after the fall of Austria, and the reaction of NATO’s Force d’Action Rapide (FAR) •Fulda Gap: a 4-turns scenario covering the expected Soviet breakthrough through the Fulda gap towards the Rhine and Frankfurt •Austria Invasion: a 6-turns scenario dealing with the invasion of neutral Austria by the Pact •Fall of Denmark: a 6-turns scenario aimed at exploring the northern part of the conflict with the objective of taking Denmark out and closing the Baltic to NATO.Note: those scenarios above are not in the 1.00 Vanilla version but will be added soon after, within one month from release. Detailed release planning will be regularly updated on the Steam forum.•BAOR 1985: a short 1 month (15 turns) campaign covering the northern part of the war, in the North German plain, with Soviet, Poles and East Germans against British, West Germans and dutch-Belgians. •CENTAG 1985: a short 1 month (15 turns) campaign focused on Central and Southern Germany, from Fulda to Bavaria •Nato’s Nightmare European War Campaign: the whole war (15 turns) on the whole map, one month starting in May 1985. All turns in the various scenarios and campaigns above represent 2 days. One player represents the Warswa Pact, mostly the Soviet Union and its Easteran European Communist allies, and the other plays NATO, comprising forces from the USA, Canada and most Western Europe nations (and possibly neutral Austria if invaded). The Pact has have numerous land and air forces at the start of the game, and its forces are really impressive, but it is lacking the means to sustain the offensive effort over a too long period of time, not only in the field, but also economically and politically. It must hit fast and win quickly. NATO must first hold desperately against the initial invasion, waiting for its reinforcements to alter the course of events. The aerial and technological superiority, as well as its logistical and economic might are important and can compensate for the lower numbers. Unless the initial loss in troops and territory are too big.ScaleThe game scale is at the brigade or division level for land units of both sides, with smaller units (e.g. armor, AA, EW, special forces or engineering assets) beign also present. Air units are in the form of squadrons. Naval units are also
