The following is a scenario set hypothetically in April, 2016 involving a Russian Assault of prepared Estonian positions west of Narva (in the Blue Hills of Siminae). This same area was the site of a large battle between German and Soviet forces in 1944.

Russian Forces began assaults on Norway and Finland in 2015. Both offensives bogged down. Now Russia looks to the Baltic States to pressure the rear of the Finnish Line.

Russian MRB's have broken through the Narva frontier and a single Motorized Rifle Brigade is quickly advancing towards prepared Estonian positions in the Blue Hills. The Estonians have no armor. However, NATO has provided ATGM support, and NATO air has for the moment suppressed Russian Air and Artillery.

This scenario is designed to play as the Estonian forces (Green units) and units have had their reaction range reduced to increase effectiveness of their ATGM and anti-tank capacity.

As the Estonian commander, you must hold the three hills comprising the Blue Hills (Tower Hill, Grenadier Hill, and Orphanage Hill), a key topographic feature in the otherwise flat topography of Eastern Estonia.

Both sides are limited to only mortar supporting fire. Estonian reinforcements are limited. The Russian assault force is large.

I've played this scenario eight times before publishing it, and even knowing where the thrusts are coming from, the AI makes you work to stay alive.
