On December 16 2000 PHJ and FIQ started the second trial game of TOAW.

The scenario they chose to play are called "Fulda 76" (it's the same scenario as used in the first trial game) and are a fictitious scenario about the Warzaw Pact attacking Western Europe through Germany near the town of Fulda. An area, which NATO military experts called the Fulda Gap. They called it this, because they had established that this would be the gap which would be the most likely place the Warzaw Pact would attack if they attacked West Germany.

PHJ plays the Warzaw Pact, and has to take Frankfurt in Western Germany as they primary objective in the game. They start way behind in Victory Points and have a lot of catching up to do.

The map covers the area from Siegen in West Germany in the north-west corner of the map to Eisenach in East Germany in the north-east corner. The bottom of the map covers the area from Wiesbaden and Mainz in West Germany in the south-west corner to Schweinfurt in West Germany in the south-east corner.
Following cities gives victory points to the controlling side:

FIQ obviously plays NATO. His dilemma is that from the beginning of the game he doesn't have all the military forces that he probably would like to have in that area. But reinforcements are on its way - and refugees are filling out on the roads, which hampers there movement somewhat.

December 16th: The game has just started and WAPA has already taken Bad Hersfeld (worth 25 points). NATO faces a serious challenge as the Reds are streaming into Germany.

Starting with 350 points against WAPA's 50 points, there is a lot to give from, but the situation cannot get out of hand.
After the first round of battle, WAPA has conquered Bad Hersfeld, as mentioned above, but has lost 23 points from military losses, while NATO only has lost 5 points.
NATO is therefore ahead with 268 points.

January 6th: WAPA are continuing to drive Westward, and NATO are trying to put up defenses at the best possible locations. As part of this strategy, NATO has abandoned Schweinfurt for now (worth 25 points).
WAPA has now a loss of 20 points from military losses, while NATO's loss has increased to 6 points. NATO are ahead with 264 points.

NATO re-took Bad Hersfeld at the end of the second round (worth 25 points).

January 8th: WAPA are still driving West, and obviously took Schweinfurt in round 3 without problems as NATO had abandoned this in the previous round.
WAPA tried to re-take Bad Hersfeld, but NATO defended it with success.
WAPA tried to insert troops from the air at Frankfurt, but these were eliminated immediately by the NATO defenders.

NATO are receiving reinforcements which immediately are sent towards the front, hoping to stop the Reds.

January 14th: WAPA troops moved towards Bad Hersfeld, Fulda and Bad Kissingen. After initiating several attacks, they took both Bad Hersfeld and Bad Kissingen (both worth 25 points) in the 4 turn of the game. Thereby cutting the NATO lead with 100 points. NATO is now in the lead with 167 points.

NATO moved troops forward towards Bad Hersfeld, in an attempt to re-take this city, and towards Fulda in an effort to defend this important city (worth 50 points). NATO counter-attacked at both Bad Hersfeld and Bad Kissingen, but were unable to snatch these cities away from the enemy.

January 15th: WAPA troops moved towards Fulda and Bad Hersfeld. After several attacks, they took Fulda (worth 50 points) at the end of the turn. NATO is now down to leading with 77 points, which constitutes a draw.

NATO again moved troops forwards towards Bad Hersfeld and Fulda in an effort to re-take the cities. So far without any luck.

January 19th: The front lines are relatively static at this point. NATO is trying to get back Bad Kissingen and Fulda, but so far they have no luck in doing that
NATO is in the lead with 84 points as WAPA sustained more battle damages (65 points against 31), NATO still holds objectives worth 225 points, while WAPA holds objectives worth 175 points.

January 21st: Most of the front lines are still relatively static, but the Warsaw Pact makes a surprise airborne attack on Giessen (worth 25 points) and takes it without any trouble.
Fortunately for NATO, recent reinforcements arrives in time to immediately take up the fight for this city, before the WAPA troops can dig in too much.

In a similar airborne attack, NATO inserts troops behind WAPA lines near the city of Eisenach (also worth 25 points). After the insertion, they started to attack and push back defenders near the city.

During the frontline NATO for the first time managed to push some of the WAPA troops back, but no definitive battle have taken place.

WAPA once again closed the gap to the NATO lead, which is now down to 42 points as both sides have objective points worth 200 points. WAPA has battle damages worth 85 points, while NATO's battle damages so far have reached 43 points.

February 12th: Midway through this round NATO are in the lead with 51 points; both sides have 200 points from controlling objectives, and WAPA has 105 negative points in troop losses, while NATO has 54 negative points.
WAPA troops take the supplies at Giessen, the town they took in the last round. Later in the round, NATO troops expell the WAPA troops from Giessen and re-takes the town (worth 25 points).
NATO also continues to throw air-mobile troops behind WAPA lines at Eisenach. This results in NATO actually taken the town (worth 25 points).
Along the frontline, NATO continues to try to push the WAPA troops back. They are moderate successful in this task, although Fulda is still controlled by WAPA troops.

February 13th: Midway through this round NATO are in the lead with 104 points: NATO controls objectives worth 225 points against WAPA's 175, and WAPA have 115 negative points in troop losses against NATO's 61 negative points.
NATO troops take the supplies at Eisenach, the town they took in the last round. Later in this round, WAPA troops push the NATO airborne troops out of the town and re-takes it (worth 25 points).
WAPA attacks several places and have some progress.
NATO response similarly, but does not push back WAPA troops significantly.

February 14th: The 10th round of this trial game starts with WAPA forces attacking at all locations. They have moderate success in pushing NATO forces back.
At mid-round NATO leads with 103 points. Controlled objectives are the same as last round, but now NATO has 67 negative points from troop losses, while WAPA has 120 negative points.
NATO troops re-takes Eisenach (worth 25 points), and starts a huge battle at Fulda. Here, though, they have no luck in expelling the invading WAPA forces. NATO generally have some success in inflicting casualties.
With approximately little less than half the game left, it looks like a lot more casualties will be inflicted on both sides.

February 18th: The 11th round of the trial game starts with WAPA forces once again re-take Eisenach (25 points). They attack several places, but have only limited success.
At mid-round NATO leads with 119 points. Controlled pbjectives are still 225 against 175, and troop looses is 71 negative points for NATO against 140 negative points for WAPA.
NATO troops attacks at Eisenach (25), Bad Hersfeld (25) and Fulda (50) as well as other places. They take all three locations. This is a severe blow for the WAPA side as this alone will further the NATO lead with 200 extra points.
Riots in Czechoslovakia means that Czech troop formations are recalled from the front.

WAPA tries to attack at Eisenacn and Fulda again in the 12th round, and although they are successful in their attack (the NATO troops retreats), the WAPA troops does not have enough stamina to take advantage and move forward.
Mid-round, NATO is now in the lead with 326 points. Objectives are 325 against 75, while negative points are 74 against 150.
NATO continues to push WAPA troops back on all front lines. They reinsert their troops in Eisenach and Fulda without problems.

February 20th: WAPA presses forward again, desperately trying to re-gain the foothold they held earlier in this scenario. They have no real success in doing this.
Meanwhile they have increased their air force interdiction level, which can be seen later in this round when NATO looses too many troops due to interdiction strikes.
WAPA also tries to sneak troops towards Frankfurt on the southern edge of the map.
Mid-round, NATO is now in the lead with 334 points. Objective points are unchanged at 325 against 75, while negative points from losses is 78 against 162.
NATO has great success defending the different objectives in this round, from Eisenach over Bad Hersfeld to Fulda, the defenders are successful in pushing back the attackers. NATO also has significant success in pushing the WAPA forces further away from the objectives.
The big question right now is, whether NATO can divert some troops to the defense of Frankfurt, if that should be necessary. With the interdiction level of the Red Forces, this might prove difficult.

February 21st: WAPA continues to attempt to pressure NATO troops out of Eisenach and Bad Hersfeld. Without great success, though. The advance against Frankfurt have slowed down, but still continues.
Mid-round, NATO leads with 338 points. Objective points are unchanged, while negative points from losses is 80 against 168.
Worried about the defense around Frankfurt, NATO pulls part of the airborne troops in Eisenach back to the area between Frankfurt and the advancing WAPA troops. No need in holding Eisenach (25 points) if that means Frankfurt (75) is lost. However, NATO keeps troops in Eisenach still.
In general, NATO has success in further expelling the WAPA troops from West German soil.
