Your crews will do their best to follow your orders and execute the plan, but in war, no plan survives first contact. You need to know your mission objectives, strength and weakness of both your forces and you enemy, lay of the land, weather, and time of day in order to come out on the winning end. As commander, it is your task to provide the battle plan orders to your units. You are the commander of either NATO or Soviet forces locked in battle on the ground in 1980’s Central Europe. While the world survived the Cold War, the effects of the “long twilight struggle” still echo in the geopolitics and military technology and tactics of the present day. This was the Cold War, a forty year state of political and military tension between two superpowers that several times came close to starting World War III. Separating the two, an “Iron Curtain” formed of high walls and minefields as well as hundreds of thousands of well armed troops. A whole continent found itself divided into two blocs: one lead by the United States with NATO among its allies in the Western bloc, and in the Eastern bloc lead by the Soviet Union along with the Warsaw Pact.
