Russian and Lithuanian Komandirs somewhere outside of Liechtenstein. An Airbase and secret weapons facility where they make... secret things.
Russians: "Where the fuck is Liechtenstein?"
Lithuanians: "We're going to go play in the swamp!"
Russians: "Why?"
Lithuanians: "Because it is at our front!"
Russians: "Move your front - there are no high value targets there!"
Lithuanians: "No."
Russians: "Fine."
The Lithuanian troops deployed armor and infantry in front of the massive swamp with no military value except a lone car-park tucked in the midst of the morass. The Russian Komandir deployed north of the wood line in front of the Tactical Assembly Area and split his forces into two attack groups with no support.
**********************************
Liechtenstein: "We will wax our mustachios and fart in your general direction!!!"
Strategic Map:
Scenario - TEN objective zones on the map with each side placing a 20 point objective in each players' deployment zone during deployment - these generate no Victory Points for the player who owns that objective. The players' must take their opponents 20 point objective to score those points. There are two 5 point objectives, two 3 point objectives, two 10 point objectives, and 2 two point objectives also on the map
Forces involved: 180 Points of Soviet Federated States supported by 180 points of Lithuanian forces vs. 360 points of Liechtenstein United Front. Forces deploy off of the table edge, with the Liechtenstein United Front Forces deploying first. The Russian / Lithuanian Commanders had the opportunity to deploy first, but deferred.
Tactical Map:
The Lithuanian troops deployed armor and infantry directly in front of a swampland in the hopes that their infantry would be able to move through it.
The Russians deployed a strike group in the middle to deny the urban area VP to the Lithuanians. No relief would come, however.
The second Russian strike group deployed on their flank to take the objectives in that corridor.

| The GEV skirmishers held ground until the armor group could move up. |

 |
| Liechtenstein armor decimates the Lithuanian advance in a two-prong attack from the city and the western edge of the battlefield. Lithuanian forces dropped below fighting strength at this point. |
 |
| Commanders debate the differences in OVERRUN and RAM rules as the last ditch effort of Russian Grp 1 finds a super-heavy tank in the midst of a GEV squadron in the city. |
 |
| With no russian attackers left in the city areas, and the Lithuanians having been soundly flomped in the western corridor, the Russian Komandir recalled his Armor GRP 2 from the battlefield and headed home... |

Russian Komandir: "Leytenant Davidovich! What are the Lithuanians doing now?"
"Sir, they have been involuntarily drawn-down below fighting strength and are withdrawing from the field!"
"Fucking Lithuanians. Let that be a lesson to you Leytenant. Never attack through a swamp. Especially with armor. Recall GRP2 from the field and get this pig started. I want to make the airfield before nightfall. And have the light tanks run up front - the missile battery and the other super-heavy are to remain closed-in with this tank."
"Yes sir."
"And Davidovich - this regiment is never to return to Liechtenstein! I don't even know where the fuck we are!"
"Yes sir."
Total Liechtenstein Victory!
