Wargame: Baltic Escalation! Russian Tank and Air Assault Guards vs. Bundeswehr Mech Brigade (P1)

Join us as we use the “Seven Days to the River Rhine” game system (Great Escape Games) to explore a “what-if” scenario we certainly hope never happens.  Current conflicts have expanded elsewhere across Eastern Europe, and the Russian Army has moved into Lithuania, making a bid to open a permanent land corridor to the Kaliningrad Enclave along the Baltic Coast.

Of course Lithuania is a NATO member state, thus triggering Article V of the NATO Charter, and a German Bundeswehr mech brigade is among the responding units.

Russian “VDV” Air Assault Guards have taken a key bridge over the Nemunas River, and are holding until spearhead elements of a Russian guards tank brigade can reach them.  But the Bundeswehr mech brigade is also driving hard for the crossing, intent on overrunning the air assault guards.  Who will reach the bridge first?
