Warsaw Pact forces have taken the city of Ratzeburg, part of a massive frontal assault that
will eventually push its way into the urban areas of Hamburg to the north. A pair of
bridges is allowing the Russian troops easy access across the lake to the south, so it is
imperative that you prevent this crossing by any means. We have managed to set up
preliminary defensive measures in this area, but it will take your efforts to insure that
this invasion is not successful. Fight hard, for your failure could mean the end of all of
our efforts here. Good luck, and remember, bridges can be rebuilt. The lives of your men 
are more important.
