T.A.N.K.S. mission 15/11/14

Defense of Fulda

Mission summary:

The red horde has finally crossed the border. They have swept past all the boarder defense stations, and it is your job to hold at all costs. TF Yankee is all alone, outnumbered, and the last hope before the Red Army pushes through the lines. Hold the line, stay alive if possible, and if not die honorably.
