OPERATION TOP HAT

SITUATION

What started off as a clandestine operation, have now evolved into a full-scale conventional war. Our forces –under the flag of the local pro-Western guerrillas –have launched a blitz attack on the Soviet backed forces of the North…beating them back from one position to the next, at a tremendous pace.

After our forces beat them back over Bridge 14, the hostile forces destroyed the bridge, thus blocking our only way further North. In order to make the final push North –to the capital city –the bridge needs to be repaired amidst heavy enemy presence. 

Engineers from our Field Engineering regiments have started rebuilding the bridge, but are plagued by enemy infantry as well as artillery. Your unit needs to support and protect them.
