Operational Headquarters. April 1985. ————————— Exactly one year has passed since the beginning of the war, which still no one dares to call World War III. Over the course of a year of full-scale combat operations, neither side has used nuclear weapons, fearing total escalation capable of destroying not only the enemy, but the very possibility of victory itself. In the course of counteroffensives, the Soviet state managed to almost completely liberate the northern part of Germany and Poland. The Warsaw Pact countries, together with allied Finland, expanded their offensive along the northern axes. Sweden went over to the Eastern side, as a result of which, after brief resistance, Norway was completely captured. Despite this, the North Atlantic Alliance manages to control a significant part of the Baltic Sea and to restrain the development of the offensive by maintaining supply to the fleet that had been transferred in time through the Danish Straits. Zealand has already changed hands several times over the year, turning into a continuous zone of fierce fighting, on the outcome of which the fate of the northern groupings of both sides depends. For its part, NATO forces managed to capture a significant part of the territory of the Ukrainian SSR, establishing control over Kharkiv and the Crimean Peninsula, and advancing close to Kyiv and Rostov. This significantly complicated the Soviet Union’s control over the Black Sea, and also created the threat of splitting the southern grouping and of the enemy’s advance toward the Caucasus. Both sides of the conflict are preparing large-scale summer military campaigns, which are to become turning points in a war that has already taken on a prolonged and exhausting character. In the northern sector, the Soviet command is relying on a decisive offensive aimed at finally forcing NATO forces out of Denmark and sealing off the Baltic Sea. In the event of success, this will make it possible to stabilize the front and free up significant forces for redeployment to the south, with the prospect of a deep breakthrough in the direction of Central Europe. In parallel, preparations are underway for a major amphibious landing operation to retake Crimea with the support of the fleet, with the aim of restoring control over the Black Sea. In Northern Europe, Alliance forces plan to continue the attritional defense of Denmark, holding the straits at any cost through the transfer of reinforcements from the United States and Great Britain. At the same time, a decisive strike is being prepared in the direction of Rostov, with the aim of finally severing communications between the central and southern regions of the USSR. In parallel, measures are being taken to contain Soviet forces on the central axis in order to prevent a possible breakthrough in the Lviv area.
