The second day of WWIII doesn't look good for NATO, in the Schweinfurt-Wurzburg sector, the GIs of the 3rd ID and Grenadiers of 12th Pz stand shoulder to shoulder against an entire East German army, the dawn reveals a pair of Russian TDs trying to make an end run around the defences and take Wurzburg from behind, a thin recon screen is all that stands between them and an open road into Frankfurt, the steel panthers of both divisions are racing to prevent that from happening.
In the centre of V Corps, 3rd AD and 8th ID are digging in hard and fast courtesy of a cautious WP advance, am I missing something here?
Panzergrenadiers of the 5th Pz bore the brunt of the 57th GMRD's fury just as it crossed the Fulda just south of Kassel, however, the rest of the 5th has arrived just in time to even out the odds some.
In Kassel itself is there the only bright spark of hope, the 2nd PzG seems to have seen off the 27th GMRD's attack on Kassel, roughly handling the Guards formation in the process, reports of mass surrenders of at least a regiment's worth of infantry and tanks have come in and the 2nd reports that it is firmly in control of Kassel.
