the history of the campaign is as follows

In the late summer of 1980 the world is at the height of tensions in East Germany food riots have broken out as citizens protest at the soaring prices of food.This is due to several failed crops in the east the Soviet Goverment are at a loss to explain the lack of food and healthy crops but are unaminously agreed that the food riots in East Germany need to be put down.The Soviet Premier orders the mobilisation of 124,000 troops to cross into east germany via poland and set up a temporary government in East Germany which along with 'selected members' of the East german government will restore order.

on the 16th of august Soviet troops cross the polish border and begin on the road to berlin supported by light airpower in the form of several squadrons of migs. On the 22nd they reach East berlin and quickly encircle the east german parliment building riots over the next few months are severe with the Russian army opening fire on crowds and killing hundreds and stamping a iron boot down on the population. After several days of rioting non combatants are allowed to evacuate into west berlin via Checkpoint Charlie past the no mans land beyond the wall that seperates east and west. They bring with them horror stories and plead with the united states and nato to help their people the united nations send several envoys to Moscow and plead to allow the red cross into East Berlin under a 'Neutral' united nations peackeeping force Moscow agrees and the convoy is allowed in to assess the conditions within and around the Soviet Cordon of East Berlin.

26th August 1980 the Soviet Government closes the border between East and West Berlin Tanks are placed near the barricades and they begin a total lock down of East Berlin. Following a explosion at the Parliment that kills the Head of state and several high ranking soviet dignataries a fringe group of freedom fighters naming themselves 'sons of the new order' claimed responibilty and promised more attacks if.

A: the Soviets didnt give East Germany its sovereighty and right to reunite with West Germany

Over the next few days reprisals by Soviet troops on suspected sympathisers of the 'new order' group were carried out millions were rounded up and taken to the main stadium for questioning rumours are abound of torture and killing the united nations is in uproar at the head of protest is the American ambassidor of the now Republican Administration. The president orders the deployment of 700,000 american service personel to Germany the soviet administration gets edgy asking for a reason for the sudden deployment of troops the situation is steadly getting out of control.

August 31st 1980
The Soviet Occupation of East Germany is strained and the 'new order' group launch attacks on staging zones and military targets. Soviet generals saber rattle over American threats and urge the Soviet Premier to allow Russian airbourne forces to launch a pre emptive strike on American targets within West Germany. Fearing an invasion of East Germany the Premier gives the order for 800,000 Soviet Troops and Polish Conscripts to amass on the border of West Germany
