The campaign
The war the A-10 was built for
West Germany, May 1985. After years of carefully staged détente, a surprise Warsaw Pact offensive turns the Cold War into a full-scale conflict. Armoured formations surge across Central Europe while NATO forces fight to slow the advance toward Fulda, Frankfurt and the Rhine.
Take the role of Liam “Bishop” Midwell, an A-10 pilot with the 81st Tactical Fighter Wing, forward-deployed from RAF Bentwaters to Detachment 1 at Sembach Air Base. What begins on 12 May as a familiarisation flight over the Fulda sector becomes a desperate battle to hold the line when the invasion begins.
Across ten connected missions, fly close air support, armed reconnaissance, strike and battlefield interdiction sorties during the opening phase of the war. Fulda Gap 85 shares its alternate 1985 timeline with Northern Defenders while telling a self-contained story over West Germany.
