I just found this:
I'd say we'd be facing the Third Shock Army (Ouch), with the 20th Guards and possibly some NVA forces providing breakthrough support. Their objective would likely be Hanover, I think that much would be obvious.

I think both the 2nd Guards Tank and 3rd Shock Army were deployed a bit further to the south than that map shows. The NVA's 5th Army was actually deployed near the Baltic coast opposite from Lübeck, and it doesn't appear on the map. Also, I think the general assumption is that the Polish Army would have deployed to the north in wartime as well, which would leave the 2nd Guards Tank Army to advance west. Doesn't matter much, though. I think the 2nd Guards Tank and 3rd Shock Army were about as well equipped.
As for the 33rd Panzer, they would indeed have Leopard 2s and Marders (along with other vehicles like the Jaguar).

To be clear: I'll happily put up with it if people like playing it. Just had a "why are we doing this?" moment.
Oh, and the missiles on the jets are laser guided. Not sure that combines with the marker, but it just might.

Well, you did say the missions were getting too easy as West, and I thought it would be a nice change from having the same stuff all the time. I haven't actually been in the mission yet as I haven't had much time, but I wouldn't object to switching back to West if people are finding it too frustrating.
