Not yet, that I am aware of. I started one based on a Polish unit operating in Denmark 1985-86 time frame but RL intervened. I my try reviving it at some point.

I have an idea making one but I lack the time do do it for the moment.That may change in the near future.

PS: How great is the need for such campaign?

i would welcome such a campaign, especially the time frame in question and if it is max a company as core strength

I went back and pulled out my scenario files. Five of them are actually pretty much completed. The date is actually October 1985.

It is a company size unit you would command. For this campaign you would be the Commander of the Polish 1st Recon Company, 7th PPR Naval Infantry Brigade leading the assault on NATO's northern flank in Denmark.

The draft campaign title was to be: BETRAYING THE BEAR!

I´d be intersted of such creations too.

My mistake.

I actually have 8 scenario's completed. They are for v2.51 though so they would need updating and double-checking. And you would command 2 platoons of scouts (with 1 BTR and 1 BMP platoon as transport). I forgot I had also finished up the last 3 scenarios which involve various stages in the rescue and extraction of friendly POWS to a nearby airfield .

Will be nice to have a Russian campaign for that period

this sounds wicked, and small-sized, too! are these naval scouts "naval speznatz" (if the poles even had such a unit?). nice heavy FO activity, maybe? i am looking forward to it! bring it on!

I'm close to end the "Red Storm Rising" campaign, but I'm not overly satisfied with it.
It starts with a training battle against helpless polish to make your units gain experience, then the party starts. After a number of cruent battles from the border to the Leine river NATO oddily enough crashes. T-80 perform good and luckily enough there were no Challenger and only a few Leopard 2 around. My MRR is then teletransported in Iraq (through a compliant Iran... fat chance!) to run for the oilfields.
Some odd things:
Mi-24 main gun is changed with Metis ATGM and rockets, unaware of this I let go the first Metis and later i Switched it off to make it more believable, but I was always short of the main gun, useful in suppressing infantry;
fixed support aircraft have sometimes the gun changed with some rockets, same as above;
in what I think is the last battle (I still have to find a way to play it), which is an amphibious landing, my set-up area is... the desert! First case of a landing in which the one has to reach the sea from land. Still have to find what to do with the barges and LCACs;
last a thing that I already saw in other campaigns: VP assigned to AI for casualties are kept from one battle to the following. This I saw for helos, couldn't tell for other vehicles, but it was enough to cripple my VP ratio from marginal victory to draw through most of the campaign. Is this intended or a game flaw?

All in all it was a good effort by the designer but some further refinement would have been useful before releasing it.
