NATO T18 The combat result of the attack at Holzminden

NATO T19 WP forces starting to look stronger all the time Pact Arty inflicts heavy losses on NATO units,NATO Atk Helos hit the Arty and inflict heavy losses but there arnt enough of them.
WestGerman troops around Kassel are in serious trouble,Belgian troops move up to help out

NATO T19 NATO Arty shows how effective it can be,some of the Soviet starting units are quite weak now its the Fresh units arriving that are proving a real handful.

Both attacks throw back the Soviets however with a lack of engineers Nato forces cant retake the bridge at Holzminden,another MRR is evaped and a Soviet tank regiment suffers 38% losses

NATO T21 The situation in the north Br I Corps struggles to hold back the Soviet advance however serious damage has been inflicted upon the Soviet forces if they dont break out soon it will be to late to capture the VP locations to the west,All NATO forces are now in play and reinforcements are a small drop in the ocean compared to what has being lost

The situation in the south the Belgian I Corps and whats left of the WestGerman III Korps seem to have the situation in control after some hard fighting the WestGermans in patrticular have put up a stubborn fight and have lost about half there units
