1Zealand Brigade and the Corp HQ element are dug in around the Danish Airfield in Værløse just Sth West of Copenhagen. HQ had raided guarded stores of ammunition and supplies. The men were loyal to the people of Denmark, they would not live under another countries thumb ever again.
Probing by the Soviet paratroopers from the eastern edges of Copenhagen resulted in the calling up of Polish Marine regiments to deal with the Danes who had disobeyed their Prime Ministers orders to lay down arms. They and units from the Navy continue to fight for what they see as their essential liberties!
The airfield is a key part of the Soviet plan and has 12 concrete shelters which were also built in for NATOs rapid response plan, these can be used to house WP aircraft and project power further into the North Sea and North to Norway‘s capital.
A new control tower a passenger terminal and operations bunker are apparently heavily fortified and the Danes are well dug in. The initial skirmishes yield good results for the rugged Polish Marines. But later in the day the Danes regain lost territory and push back the Polish Brigade.
A second brigade the 4/7 is brought in and they combine their efforts. The Danes are on the back foot but hold grimly on.
[Danes have forced 2 contacts, but lost 2 of 3 steps. The Paras could not attack effectively as they are a small unit, which means when attacking or defending its ratings are dropped to one. The initial Polish attack had air support and this pumped the odds up to 6:1 garnering the first loss. The next round of combat after spending four more movement points resulted in a Contact result! This meant the 4/7 had come to the fight. It got decent odds with concentric benefits. But failed to on its second attack to finish off the enemy.]
“Ivan Ivanovich reporting in Karen. We have disturbing footage of these ‘rebel‘ Danes fighting the Russian and Polish forces, as you cans see the destruction and chaos on the Danish infrastructure is immense and of course.. just look at all that smoke behind me! “”Well Ivan, have we heard from the Danish PM or the rebels? Why do they continue to fight? Why are British forces in Denmark?”
“Karen it is increasingly difficult for my sources to understand NATOs response to this and the Norwegian Oil crisis. But it’s all about money we guess, but this is playing out like a bad Tom Clancy novel! The Russians need access to oil to feed their nation and to the North Sea to trade. But Capitalist Banks and Government appear to be colluding to stop this, creating a national crisis in Russia that has not been covered by Western journalists. I will say this though. In just 4 short days the..um..the WarSaw Pact, the’liberators’ have been involved in some debatable tactics Karen…Its very scary here right now…In fact….
Karen cuts in -“Ok thanks Ivan we need to go to a short commercial break, more news on the half hour and a special report on something that is taking America by storm! – Jazzercise! Its back ladies!”-CNN
Well done mate. “You are there!”
