"What do you mean you "JUST LOST THEM" Dammit?!" The captain was pissed. He should have been. The war was supposed to be over seeing how the cease fire was starting in 4 hours and there had been no provocative movement from the Soviets in 6 hours. The captain lit a cigarette and took a long drag while holding the handset. It had taken 10 hours of travel-time to get to this ice-covered hill to re-enforce Team Bravo. Everyone was exhausted and stank from a hellish combination of grease, cordite and sweat. The war had turned ugly after Birmingham England had been hit by SS-18s 12 hours earlier. The US has responded by destroying Kiev with a single Trident-2. The Soviets appeared to be backing down and everyone in the company was hoping they'd had enough. Somehow G2 had lost the Polish motorized rifle company overnight when the weather turned bad. Probably everyone back at corps was celebrating the news of the cease fire. All intel knew was that the small Polish unit was still moving south despite the cease fire news. Your company had been sent to aid Team Bravo of the Louisiana National Guard in hunting them down and destroying them. The guard units had performed well despite their out-dated equipment but this was more of a mission for cavalry. The men of the 11th ACR may have had 4-day beards but all of them still had the same shit-eating grins on their faces despite the lack of sleep. They were good... and they knew it. "Well if you get ANY IDEA where they are it would be great to let me know! Blackhorse Delta-76 out." The captain regained his composure and took off his kevlar helmet and leaned against his command track. The First Sergeant emerged from the darkness, spit a brown stream of Skole Bandit and asked "Okay capn'.... whadaya want to do now?" Situation: Intel has the polish coming down through the seam in the mountains to the north-east. Mission: Do what cavalry does best! Find the enemy and destroy them. It shouldn't be too hard, you've got them out-numbered. Plus... how tough can the Polish be? Deploy your units as you see fit. All you need to do is block them for 90 minutes and 2nd AD will be up here. Cheer up... at least it's stopped snowing and the coffee is hot. ENEMY ASSETS: G2 says the unit will be comprised of a combination of some T-72As along with older T-62s. Infantry will most likely accompany the armor in trucks but the infrared imagery from the U-2 flight was a little hazy. Polish artillery is in range of your AO so prepare accordingly. No air assets in the region due to F-15C BARCAP in the region. Rest easy. The war is almost over. ****** CB strongly advises that you NOT run an after-action report showing ACTUAL enemy units unless you become completely frustrated. It spoils the fun.

My spin on "Meeting Engagement." WWIII is a stalemate. Both sides are near either negotiation or going nuclear. This last push across the last remaining bridgehead could change everything. Take that bridge! You have a company of M-1s and additional infantry assets. 1986 time period.
