AFNORTH Stavenger, Norway Conference room [Secure].
The hub hub of slowly rising voices, appeared to be approaching a crescendo. One voice rose above others and quieted the senior officers and emissaries.
Gen. Richard Bray, garnered everyone’s attention. “It appears Herr Shoulter has made a unilateral decision to surrender Denmark to the Soviets. Citing concerns for the environment, population safety and damage to historical sites.
Unfortunately for him, the British have landed on Copenhagen, and we control the port. This act of cowardice and lack of faith in the Danish Armed Forces will be dealt with after the war, and he shall be brought up on Charges. The Royal family is furious and seeking a means to take control of the Royal Armed combined Forces to continue the fight. The Navy and airforce have severely damaged the Soviet fighting capability. Now is not the time to quit.”
The Danish attache from the Political office stood up and said ‘ We cannot continue to fight. The population will be hurt, people might starve, the economic cost will break the countries prosperity. Why fight on when ….”.The General interrupted. “Shut up you bloody fool and sit down…In Fact leave NOW! Listen everyone, the populace will starve under the Soviets. In the 12 hours since they have landed, stores are being raided, the wealth of the country pillaged and women raped, It total carnage out there despite what the Soviet run media are publishing. The Radio and TV are under their control. But images are leaking out. Stories are being recorded on JVC Camcorders and released to media sources. We are monitoring text messages from mobile phone users, and of course HAM radio is alive with running commentary. So people will die, economies will be shattered. The Soviet are not saviors they are conquers. The question is can we fight on? If not, what to do about a brigade of British soldiers trapped at the port, and how to recapture Denmark quickly before the Kiel Canal and other vital areas of AFNORTH are compromised. What to do Gentleman?”
Currently 2 Battalions have landed in the Sajelland sector 1115, just 30 odd klicks from the British:
The Polish 7th Marine have landed 2/3rds of their force in sector 0915. With the imminent breakdown of command and control of the Danish Forces the Allies need to act quickly.
The General asked “What force can we bring to bear, and will it make a difference?”
Stand by for NATO’s response.
Cue the fierce Danish warrior who steps forward to announce the Copehagen coup?
or, Poland announces annexation of Denmark/
Boy was I wrong!
excellent stuff – my WP invasion force in Sen 3 has just landed in same hex (H1116)- led by 336 Brig of SU marines and 2 Brig of Polish Marines. Unfortunately the plan was to take the airfield to the north with SU airborne on Turn 1, allowing WP to fly in more troops and supply and cut off the Danish capital. Unfortunately the SU air commander forget to re base the heavy transports to the right LOC so the elite airborne has now way to get into the fight on T1. Heads have already rolled! The STAVKA is not at home to Mr Cock-UP
awesome!
Brilliant stuff. Good re-enactment.
