New World Order series
Campaign 10 - Suez Confrontation
HDS3 MEDC Battleset

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

BACKGROUND

Following the war with UBAN, extremist leaders in Egypt were overthrown
and (once again) replaced by a more moderate, pro-Western government. Its
Arab neighbors, however, remained staunchly anti-Western in their politics. Egypt was sharply criticized for its "backslide into immorality and sinful collaboration with the enemies of Allah". Libya and Syria threatened to strip Egypt of its guardianship of the Suez. This was correctly perceived as a
warning of imminent conflict.

Scenario 1 (NWSCM1) - Cain Fandango

On the morning of 2 February 2002, Libya and Syria launched their
attack upon Egyptian ports, airbases and forces at sea. With an EU
task force enroute to protect the Suez but still a considerable
distance away, they sought to achieve an advantage by the early
destruction of Egyptian facilities and capacities. EU aircraft were
on their way to reinforce Egypt, but were caught refuelling in Italy
and Crete. Getting them through to Egyptian airfields while the
latter are under attack will be a serious test of their confidence 
n our ability and resolve.

Scenario 2 (NWSCM2) - Valley of the Kings

A force of enemy missile combatants have penetrated dangerously close
to Egyptian shores and the mouth of the Suez Canal.

Scenario 3 (NWSCM3) - Operation Cleopatra

The EU naval group has arrived on station in the Eastern Med, and
has been directed to establish an ASuW/AAW umbrella for the protection
of Egyptian territory.
