 Fulda Gap - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Named after the unfortunately placed town of Fulda, strategically the Fulda Gap was of immense importance during the Cold War.
Perhaps more importantly, the terrain between the Gap and the river Rhine was less rugged than adjacent districts, offering the best pathway for an invading force from Warsaw Pact territory to reach and cross the formidable Rhine before NATO was in a position to prevent it.

 North German Plain '85 Designer Notes
First, from play experience in Fulda Gap, Bob Mayer counseled us to try and help the Soviets a little, as they seemed to struggle, in his experience, in the longer term in that title.
Also, we thought that one aspect that can often separate a good player from a great player is their ability to spot strengths, and weaknesses, in units, and pick the best job for the right units, not just use the first formation available for a task.
We wanted to dovetail our story with that which started in Fulda Gap '85 but, as you will see later in the war, we elected to go in our own direction and our setup for the counterattack scenario does not exactly match the one in Fulda Gap '85, although the date is synchronized.

Before this the tank destroyer forces had used interim designs based on existing vehicles, including the 75mm GMC M3, 37mm GMC M6 (which was nothing more than a 37mm gun mounted on a light truck and was never originally intended to do battle), and the 3" GMC M10.
The tank destroyers would reclaim the firepower advantage when the 90mm GMC M36 was introduced, but with the appearance of the M26 Pershing the tanks were again armed just as powerfully as the most fearsome tank destroyer.
Infantry fighting vehicles are a hybrid design, bridging the gap between the "battle taxi" armored personnel carriers and infantry-supporting light tanks.
