New World Order series
Campaign 8 - Atlantic Resource Conflict
HDS3 NACV Battleset

The scenarios in this series are designed for play by the BLUE side
only.

BACKGROUND

Canada and Spain had quarrelled before about the right to fish
resources on the continental shelf off Newfoundland. Fortunately that
dispute had largely been verbal in nature. But now, in the 21st
century, with global resources growing ever smaller, the Spanish
were back ... in force. Instead of heeding a warning from the
Canadian government to stay outside a newly declared 300 nm EEZ,
the Spanish refused to recognize the new boundary and sent warships
to escort their fishing fleet.

Scenario 1 (NWARN1) - The Hibernia Incident

Spanish Navy vessels are patrolling inside the Canadian 300 nm EEZ,
maintaining contact with their fishing fleet and shadowing Canadian
Fisheries surveillance vessels. Efforts at diplomacy are underway
but both sides seem determined to have it their way. The Canadian
government has dispatched a naval group to show its fortitude.

Scenario 2 (EC2AN3) - Heavy Presence

The Spanish have deployed their light carrier Principe de Asturias to
the Grand Banks. In response, the Canadian Armed Forces have
reinforced air assets at St. John's and Shearwater. Spanish
intentions are unknown, but it is expected that they will use the
carrier to provide an umbrella over their fishing fleet.
