Brief Overview Before Game Start
Only three short days before, the group's M1 Abrams Black Rhino and M2 Bradley Crooklyn (the strongest part of Alpha Company, 1-40 Armored Battalion, 1st Brigade, 5th Division) were sent south to hold the division's rear at Kalisz. The Division commander(the Battalion commander was dead) sent the First Batt to the center of Kalisz to make liase with a platoon from the 7th Engineering Regiment.
1-40's orders: protect the engineers as they carry out the division commander's desire to blow the major bridges in Kalisz. Due to combat losses, the Alpha Company's First Sergeant took temporary command of Bravo Company in order to ease the pressure on Alpha's CO, Cpt Allen Gamble.
Now, mid-afternoon on 17 July 2000, under ever-increasing enemy artillery fire, the two companies deploy in a last-ditch effort to blow the bridges and stop the massive Soviet and Polish onslaught before the Division is overrun.
