Background Information
The recent enemy retreat from camp Konjak exposed a gap in the defense line just north of Kulibino. "Wolfs" from 1st Platoon 1st INF Batt are tasked to take advantage of the gap and sieze the helicopter base near Polivanovo and to liberate the surounding villages.
This together with the allready established troops from the "Thundereers" in the north will put the enemy troops in Krasnyeseltsy in a position where they can be strucked from two sides.
