1/30th's FO Capt. Lee turned to the 1/30th's CO and said, "Colonel, you ever hunt rabbits?".  Answered by a puzzled look, he continued "you never reach your hand into a rabbit hole without expecting to get bit!"*
*
The 30th Infanty of the 3rd Division has been given an impossible task.  The Soviets have broken through and are pressing their attack south of Kulmbach.  The Soviet 51st Tank Division is rolling down highway 70 towards Baumbach.  Elements of the 3rd Divison are tasked to halt the advance.*
*
You will have 1/30th mech infantry, supported by Company A of 2/64th Armor.  You will have one battalion of artillary and a FASCAM battery for support.  Use your artillary wisely.  The Air Force may be able to send you some air assets, but they are needed elsewhere in theatre.  Your units are set and have been ordered to hold fire until the Soviets are effectively within your combined kill ranges.*
*
You are facing elements of the Soviet 51st Tank Division, tank heavy, supported by the 51st MRR.  Scouts have indicated they are already deployed and charging hard.*
*
There are no reinforcements available.  Good luck!*
