Iron Maiden: Commonwealth forces hold back a Soviet push

 

Soviet forces consist of 2 Tank Divisions with a Motorized rifle Regiment in each
The Soviets also sent an Afgansty Airborne force

A Soviet tank Division made up of a T-72 Battalion, a T-62 Battalion, an IS-2 squadron and a T-34/85 battalion in lieu of a T-55 battalion

Eventually after a hard fight, the Commonwealth brigade holds the town. Casualties on the Australian's were high as were the New Zealand battalion. 2PPCLI lost a quarter of their strength as did the Irish Guards 
The Soviets lost all their tanks, and their infantry limped away. It was a total NATO victory
