Colonel, I have some disturbing news. While we had our focus set on the northern front the Soviets managed to stage a major assault on the harbor at Karlshamn in southern Sweden. Mechanized formations supported by attack helicopters have been pouring inland and threaten to effectively cut off the province of Scania from the rest of the country.
Our 1st and 11th divisions have been routed and the surviving units are scattered in the Broby - Osby area, surrounded by Soviet troops. 

Your orders are to take immediate command of the units in the south, break out from the encirclement southward and establish a new defensive line at Kristianstad - Hassleholm. We will transport your own troops to the area as quickly as we can.
