Flashpoint Latvia Episode 5 - The Operational Art of War III - Grim Prospects of War

This narrative is fictional. No political point is intended. The images are from a custom-made scenario, which I intend to play and report as part of this series.

With an order of battle barely longer than a party guest list, the Latvian National Armed Forces brace for a Russian-led  "liberation of Russian peoples" in the Ludza and Rezekne Districts.


The peacetime deployment in the Latvian eastern districts include two National Guard Battalions. Here shown as yellow counters, the 25th Infantry Battalion stationed in Rezekne and the 32 Infantry Battalion stationed in Ludza. The artillery unit in the west is the 34rd Artillery Battalion.


The Russian Army has recently moved two independent motorized rifle battalions  brigades which are most likely to push from the border stations at Terehova and Morozovka. The two Russian axis of attack are likely Morozovka-Rezekne and Terehova-Ludza-Malta. Russian objectives west of Rezekne and Malta are likely too, to deter a NATO counter attack from the west.


An assortment of NATO aircraft will be available during the first hours of the invasion, however the Latvian National Guard units lack the means for independent teams that can act as JTACs to call air strikes. One possibility is to deploy company-sized units that can (along with NATO aircraft) interdict the Russian advance.

Not a game, but for those with interest in the scenario playing out here: Just recently read this fiction based on fact (in terms of equipment and tactics/strategies) book by Tom Clancy's legacy author Mark Greaney.  Very much in the well known Clancy style and attention to detail.  Well written story of the possible engagement in the Baltic states from the "speed bumps" strategy to naval action in the Baltic Sea, as well as the strategy/tactics decisions required during same.  Hope you enjoy as much as I did.
