Thinking about Baltic coast in '98

[Adm.Lee]

I don't think I raised this before. Roman and I are thinking about setting up a game or two on the Baltic coast, but we want to move it to 1998, to allow a bit more in the way of nifty gear.

Current thinking is that the Pact will stage diversionary operations along the coast prior to the main drive into southern Germany from Czechoslovakia.

Looking at Google Earth, there are darn few islands off Poland.

So, Bornholm would be an obvious target for some kind of diversion.

Prior to that, does anyone see a reason why NATO wouldn't post some or most of their amphibious assets up there, like the US Marines? It's been left vague what the Marine Division (and possibly still extant Air Wing and Exp. Force elements) was doing during this period. I propose the Marines moving out to that island, both to garrison it and as a base for their own raiding along the Baltic coast. With attachments from the Danes and Germans by any of their watery special-ops guys, and perhaps even some British operators.
