Heavy fighting on the Leipzig-Berlin axis is wearing down the Warsaw Pact forces, but NATO is making very little headway in its offensive.
In a surprise attack, the Soviet high command launched renewed thrusts on the Ruhr and Frankfurt in an effort to encircle the British Army on the Rhine (BAOR). NATO forces are fighting tooh and nail to maintain a corridor through Kassel to the embattled British force.
On the flanks, NATO forces are making significant headway. It appears that the Soviet high command has withdrawn most of their first-rate formations from Amsterdam in the north and Niederbayern in the south, allowing British and German forces to regain much of the ground lost in the initial offensive. At the same time, pressure on the British in the Hanover Pocket seems to be lessening significantly.
There is speculation amongst the intelligence community that the Soviet command has fallen afoul of poor quality reports coming from local commanders claiming greater success than had actually been achieved, while the higher quality of reporting coming into NATO command has allowed them to take advantage of this weakness.
Well you know what they say “if you hear it once it’s a rumor, you hear it twice it’s speculation, but more than three times, from different sources….it’s a fact!”
No fake news, no media propaganda…just good solid reporting! QUALITY over QUANTITY! Just saying that’s all.

Any chance we’ll see those overpasses coming out as scenery with the next book?
@bayankhan. The poem was picked up by Battlefront and featured on the main page. It was something interesting and creative. As for the other things, can you link to those reports, so I can understand what you’re on about, please?
Interesting. Yet somehow intelligence is better when NATO players submit poetry, pictures of dead heroes of the Napoleonic and Crimean Wars and call this a ‘report’.
@davehodo; we’re playing characters here to provoke involvement. Please don’t start getting people upset over this.
Who authorized the release of those M60A3 tanks into action?
Sounds more like butt sore NATO players to me. But that’s just my opinion.
Fie on the Spetznazties and their disinformatia! The key word in all these reports is Pact “withdrawal.” You can dress it up all you want, but NATO has held firm before the PACT’s initial onslaught. Liberation of the East is surely next this winter!
Rumors, lies and falsehoods, comerade Marshall, but just to be sure I suggest to conduct full investigation.
I concur with this news release. One Soviet commander is claiming 20+ victories and no losses, yet fails to provide photos. Certainly Soviet propaganda at its best.
Soviet commanders always report bad news up the chain, once…….Then the new commander knows better.

That is what happens when battlefield good fortune abandons you.

Bah! Rumors spread by our enemies to discredit us!
