My second AAR attempt. I abandoned the first one as I was unhappy with the writing. I hope I do better this time.
Preamble by Dr Martin Williamson, Professor of Modern History at the University of London
The European War of 1984 erupted after a naval incident in the North Sea between the Royal Norwegian Navy frigate "Odyn" and the Soviet Navy Cruiser "Kursk" which saw gunfire exchanged in the context of the early 1980s which were characterised by heightening of Cold War tensions, the end of detente and several flashpoint incidents, such as the NATO Able Archer 83 exercise and the Korean Airliner incident. Miraculously, no strategic nuclear weapons were used, but, as these accounts can show up, tactical strikes were used on military targets.
The Warsaw Pact Offensive in Germany had been successful, with mainly American and West German troops unable to stem the tide and East German troops reached the Rhine in several locations. However, a landing in the Crimea, and attacks on the Pact from Greece and Italy by British, American, Greek and Italian troops proved to be the weakness of the USSR as Bulgaria nearly collapsed, the Crimea having large areas under occupation and Italian mountain troops poised to enter Czechoslovakia via Austria, the situation was bleak and peace talks were taking place in Geneva. In this context, General Gruber of the East German Army suggested an offensive through Denmark and Sweden to seize the vital port of Aarhus. The Politburo accepted his suggestion. This is the historical context for the following record.
But I won't go to England due to the prescence of scruffy in shottingham. - Scenter102
This is Scruff we are talking about. I can't think of anything I don't see Scruff doing just for the hell of it. - Agrippa 271
The cake was made by Scruffy and it was... a rude shape. - Liam
