Soviets place selective but heavy Ground Strikes after their some what weak Deep Strike phase that garnered only 3 craters on NATO fields and no units destroyed on the ground! Effective intercepts and Ground AA, weaken the Soviet effort 

and we move onto the NATO riposte in the air with Ground strikes on 2 or 3 key stacks of Soviets. While not inflicting much by the way of disruptions the NATO strike bog up key hexes with strike zones that stay in play all turn 1.
