CV32

A scenario for the EC2000 Norwegian Sea (GIUK) battleset of H2002.

BLUE ORDERS

Sweden is taking brave steps to hold back the Russian offensive in
the Baltic Sea. The odds are stacked against their success. The
USAF has sent forces into the theater to help turn the tide, and the
British have deployed the first of a new class of aircraft carriers
formerly known as the CVF (modeled by the Saratoga). With an air wing
of F/A-18E Hornets (the British JSF was cancelled in this timeline),
including several new EA-18G Growler (modeled by the EA-7L), the
British hope to act quickly to save the Swedes and open the door
for the follow-up American flyers. Time is not on your side, as
intel reports that a Russian PHIBGRU has been assembled and is
already enroute. 

Wartime emergency dispersal airstrips have been activated on highways
in eastern Sweden (Dispersements 1 and 2). Gripen and Erieye units
should deploy there asap. The Russians probably don't have a good
idea of exactly where these are located, but don't expect their
ignorance to last for long.

Clearance has been given for allied aircraft to land at the primary
airbase (Dispersement 3) but they cannot operate at the highway
dispersal sites.

Primary targets are Russian fuel supplies and C3 nodes.

Be on the alert for maskirovka.

Note: For the sleuths out there, why do I like CV32 ? (Hint, it has
nothing to do with this scenario).
