Campaign 4 - The War with UBAN

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

BACKGROUND

The aggression of UBAN in the Middle East and Persian Gulf regions, and more ominously, the open support for the UBAN exhibited by the NSC, has had widespread reverberations. When war broke out in the Persian Gulf, a NSC carrier battlegroup was on exercise off the coast of Morocco. Its operations in the Atlantic were apparently unscheduled, the group having already carried out the bulk of planned maneuvers in the Gulf of Sidra in August 1995. The nearest NATO group was off the Azores, enroute to Brest and returning from support of peacekeeping efforts in Angola. It was immediately turned around and chopped to the Med.

Scenario 1 (NWUN1) - Toreador

The Coalition has made formal request to the NSC for safe passage of the NATO group through the Straits of Gibraltar. The NSC has responded by saying that it will allow the group to pass only if its entire contingent of aircraft and all VLS-capable escorts remain in the Azores. This, of course, is unacceptable. It seems we must prepare for open armed confrontation with the NSC fleet.

Scenario 2 (NWUN2) - Skipping Stones

The blatant refusal of NSC forces to recognize the GIUK embargo and the continued threat of choking off access to the Med has left the Coalition with little choice but to reinforce local defences. The politicians are working feverishly to avoid it, but the diplomatic picture looks grim.

Scenario 3 (NWN3) - Crashing the Party

The encroachment of Breakwater 9 and the destruction of Turkish bases by NSC military forces has escalated this conflict into world war. The NATO group has now been tasked with the destruction of the NSC group as a prelude to its entry into the Med. A French naval group will be providing support.

Scenario 4 (NWUN4) - Sea Snake

With the NSC carrier group effectively dismantled, the NATO group has passed safely into the Med. Dangers continue to abound, however, in the mid Atlantic. NSC submarines are attacking merchant traffic in the sea lane. Unfortunately, the Coalition has few naval ASW assets available in the area. Most of the sub hunting will therefore have to be done by aircraft operating from shore bases.

Scenario 5 (NWUN5) - Iceberg Alley

This scenario examines the submarine vs submarine battle in the coastal waters of Canada. The primary mission is to find and sink enemy cruise missile submarines before they can attack surface shipping and land-based targets.

Scenario 6 (NWUN6) - Rogue Warrior

A medium-sized NSC naval group returning from a visit to Cuba has managed to slip in close to the Canadian coast and has destroyed several merchant vessels, including a luxury cruise liner (the NSC claims it was a disguised intelligence collection ship). We did not expect to have such a dangerous enemy force so close to our own shores, and available assets are limited. Eliminate the threat quickly and decisively.

Scenario 7 (NWUN7) - The Last Hours

A single Typhoon class SSBN is known to be operating somewhere in the waters between Newfoundland and Nova Scotia. All other known enemy SSBNs have either been destroyed or are laid up in port. Use the limited assets available to find and sink this serious threat to life on earth as we know it.
