Essen - August 21st, 1989

NATO managed to seize back the city of Essen during an unexpected counter-offensive. You have to get rid of this threat on our supply lines, otherwise NATO would succeed to slow down our advance in Western Europe and would bring on time reinforcement units.
Normally ignoring this resistance point would have been the right strategy but the numerous airfields there threaten our own land reinforcements and airlifts.
Move back your armies to Essen at once whereas Polish and East German troops will arrive from the East to assist you.
