Default Re: Cuban Crisis - Norway

Actually the "intent" of the defense is pretty simple. You have essentially two infantry battalions, one Norwegian Homeguard the other USMC, trying to stop a mechanized assault. Dig in, use any mobile anti-armor assets when/where needed.
Just sitting in your foxholes/trenches letting the Russian steamroller hit you when and where it likes is not an effective strategy. You need to figure out how to use your mobile anti-armor, forward of the MLR recon assets, and what little (compared to the Russians) mortars/artillery you have to best effect to disrupt and destroy as much of the Russian assaults as possible. Given the length and size of the scenario the Russians have time and room for more then a simple "banzai charge" ... so where are they going to hit you with what?
FUN!
