Marines in Germany?

Date: August 1985
Battle Location: Central Germany
Battle Type: USMC defend vs. Soviet assault


The Soviets have finally done it, invasion Europe!

Unfortunately NATO forces have not delayed them as much as expected in the early stages of the invasion. NATO has mobilized and reinforcements are on their way, but right here, right now NATO needs anything it can get its hands on to delay the Soviet steamrollar. So a US Marine MEU on its way to Norway has been redirected to Germany.

There are many good reasons the USMC was never intended to fight in central Germany. Can you do what's considered impossible and stop the Soviets?

Small US Army and FR German cavalry/recon units mauled in the early fighting and recently reconstituted are the only reinforcements available, they too must stand and fight or mainland Europe could fall before NATO fully deploys.

As always feedback is encouraged!
I am particularly interested in the apparent coordination between the main Soviet assault and the artillery/rockets/mortars/air. And the overall game length (too long? BTW I recently cut it back to 60 turns, I'd forgotten to change from the default 90).

I'm pretty sure the Marines can stop the Soviets since they're fully dug-in.
But the price ... oh the price ...
