WAW85 Scenario: Fear Naught

West of STEMWEDE, WEST GERMANY: Though many of NorthAG's remaining battalions were retreating west across the Paderborn Ridge, and then toward Gütersloh, the Soviets were also driving NATO before them toward the Mittelkanal bridges near Osnabrück. NorthAG Command knew that if the invaders seized them, they would likely turn south toward Munster in an attempt to trap a large chunk of NorthAG's forces in the Gütersloh/Paderborn area. Near Stemwede, the Soviet 63rd Guards Tank Regiment – now leading the Soviet 10th Guards Tank Division – sent a battalion to seize and protect the bridges on the flanks of their advance. Soviet Front Aviation assigned Su-25s "tank-killer" close air support aircraft to assist in the effort. While the Soviets were forced to replenish their fuel for an hour or two, the British 1st Armour Division's famed 7th Armour Brigade organized a quick reserve from its Royal Hussars - with their Challenger main battle tanks - reinforced by infantry cross-attached from the 1st Battalion, The Staffordshire Regiment (Prince of Wales's). The British charged directly into the flank of the Soviet flank guard, showing true fearlessness despite the fearsome Soviet T-80s and Motor-Rifle Infantry.
