 * Date: August 31, 1993 to September 8, 1993

Overview
The Great Pridelander Federation, Iraqi and Libyan militaries invaded France and Germany, as well as all of Europe, following the Great Pridelander Federation and Great Nick Jr. Republic invasion of the United States of America, Canada and Mexico. As part of Simba's plan to bring Europe under Pridelander occupation, chemical attacks were launched across Europe to soften it for a Pridelander, Libyan and Iraqi joint invasion. Amsterdam was one of these targets, and Germany subsequently declared war on the Great Pridelander Federation, Libya and Iraq.

The Hunt for Miffy
Trading information with his friend John Price, Sandman and his team were alerted to the fact that the Pridelander government was not a legitimate one and were sent to find Miffy, at her safehouse in Amsterdam, where the Great Pridelander Federation Army, the Iraqi Army and the Libyan Army attempted to retake her. Metal failed in retrieving her as the Pridelanders and the Libyans successfully escaped with her, however, but they succeeded later on.

The Battle Ensues
By this stage, the US had pulled enough resources to help push Pridelander, Libyan and Iraqi forces back across all European fronts. With Paris secure, US forces began assisting the depleted Armed forces of the Netherlands after the Pridelander, Libyan and Iraqi offensives; and began pushing them from Hamburg, Germany and Berlin, Germany to Amsterdam, Netherlands. At the same time, Miffy was hiding in her home country's capital Amsterdam to avoid Pridelanders trying to capture her, with her alerting US Special Forces in an attempt to rescue her. The US sent in 4 Delta teams to rescue her with massive air support and ground assets to fight against the Great Pridelander Federation Army, the Iraqi Army and the Libyan Army and the Great Pridelander Federation Air Force attempting to secure Amsterdam. As the Armed forces of the Netherlands were already depleted and spread out, they provided support through a column of 3 M1 Abrams tanks led by a Division Commander in the leading tank.

Rescue Operation
Delta Force teams went in by air, with 6 Little Bird helis assisted by Apache attack choppers, however, anti aircraft fire downed Little Birds containg Onyx Team that was supposed to assist Metal Team on supporting fire. Metal reached the objective and cleared the Reisdorf building for fire support while Granite reached the building Miffy was hiding in. While originally successful, Granite encountered heavy resistance and were killed when an explosion ripped the building; while at the time, Metal provided fire support with an A-10 Thunderbolt callsign Valkyrie 2-6 to deal with Pridelander, Libyan and Iraqi T-90's. With Granite and Onyx gone, and Viking not responding, Metal took control of the operation and was given clearance to rescue Miffy. At the same time, elements of the Bundeswehr was moving in to assist Metal when they are held by a T-90, which was destroyed by Metal. A pair of M1 Abrams tanks and Dutch troops assisted Metal team near to the target site when the Pridelanders destroyed a building to halt allied advances, destroying 2 of the 3 M1 Abrams tanks.

Failed Rescue Attempt
As Metal team attempt to rescue Miffy, Overlord had to pull back American and Dutch forces back as the tide turned against their favor, with losses gaining on the Allies. Metal managed to get to the building, however too late to save Miffy from being kidnapped and taken to Nick Jr.'s Korea. With Metal team failing to rescue her, they alongside all Allied forces were forced to pull back from Amsterdam.

Aftermath
Due to superior numbers and entrenched defenses, American, Canadian, Mexican, Japanese and Dutch forces weren't able to fully penetrate Pridelander, Libyan and Iraqi defenses, even with American and Japanese air superiority in the area. As the defenses held and rising casualties, Overlord had to pull all forces back beyond the River Amstel and surrounding areas, while the USAF bombed defensive positions. Sometime later however, Allied forces attacked again and successfully recapture Amsterdam, while concurrently Tier 1 teams rescued Miffy in northern Nick Jr.'s Korea.

Delta team Metal, forced to retreat without the target, was given another chance when Task Force Asia, now no longer disavowed, provided intelligence on the location of Miffy in a gigantic labor camp/Korean People's Army stronghold in the snowy countrysides of northern Nick Jr.'s Korea. Overlord decided to authorize a risky rescue operation to Nick Jr.'s Korea by allowing both Tier 1 units and reinforcements to rescue her along with hundreds and thousands of prisoners, which was successful at the cost of Metal team not making it out.
