I can't see the page number on my electronic copy here at work but it is located on the...
"
Getting Started" page in the
"Player's Briefing" section.
"In the spring of the year 2000, the German 3rd Army launched its final offensive against Poland. It was postponed due to late rains—the soldiers were delayed in getting their fields planted.
The objective of the offensive was to clear the Baltic coast of Polish and Soviet forces, thus gaining control of the plentiful Baltic fishing resources and the Vistula River barge traffic.
When the offensive finally got underway it was spearheaded by the U.S.11th Corps because the U.S. troops were less tied to their cantonments than were the Germans. You are members of the United States 5th Infantry Division (Mechanized), one of the component units of the 11th Corps.
The initial drives were successful,with two U.S. divisions breaking loose and conducting deep-penetration raids into the enemy rear area.While the 8th Division (Mechanized)headed for the port of Kaliningrad and a linkup with the Free Latvian Army, the5th Division (Mechanized) headed
southeast toward Lodz. Then everything started to come apart."
It's also located in the V1 book at the beginning (same info).
