1993, Somewhere in Finland.

Following a breakdown in negotiations for US and USSR, the USSR launched attacks on multiple NATO allies across the world. One such place is a sleepy coastal province of Finland. During a joint exercise with Finnish and US troops, Soviet forces landed by air and water.

Until heavier reinforcements arrive from other provinces, it is up to the 33rd Light Infantry to hold a key MSR to prevent rapid enemy troop movement.

Mission

Advance to either position Xray or Forward Position Yankee and reinforce it. Hold off enemy attacks until relief arrives. Handle any additional tasks from HQ.

Execution

Organize the infantry and select the vehicles you wish to use.
Reinforce either Xray or Yankee.
Defend against enemy forces.
Fall back to Whiskey if necessary.
Handle additional objectives if they come up.

Equipment

You are provided with three armed trucks and four Humvees, all of which contain ample ammunition. Additional ammunition crates and medical crates are available.

Enemy Forces

Expect Soviet Armed Forces with light mechanized vehicles. It is possible that there will be heavier vehicles coming from the landing craft spotted in the south. Soviet Special Forces are likely already in the area and may engage you should your defense prove to be a major obstacle to Soviet forces.

Friendly forces

Friendly forces dressed similarly to you are in the area and a small element is currently on position Xray to interdict any scouting forces. Armored US vehicles will arrive as the operation progresses. Friendly aerial forces are not expected due to suspected Soviet AAA.
