The Final Showdown

EC2000 Battle for the Gulf of Oman

 

The demise of the European Federation last month was met with joy and celebration throughout the Allied powers of the world. A meaningful treaty is expected within weeks, with reparations and prisoner exchange to be negotiated over the next few months. In addition, the Allied victory in the East Indian Ocean a few weeks ago caused several Indian surface units to be handed over, including a Cochin-class carrier. This is now under Allied command guarding the Straits of Hormuz. This major victory was believed to signal the end of the upstart Near East Federation. The reverse, however, seems to have taken place. There are indications that the Arab situation has remained belligerent. Hardliners in the Arab faction are diehards and claim to be the true defenders of the Near East Federation. Not accepting the end of their European sponsorship nor the loss of Indian support, they have dug in their heels. Their policy is a fanatical last-stand position. In addition, a few renegade EuroFed hardliners have sequestered some capital ships, submarines and surface units. They have delivered them back into the hands of the Arab factions already in place, and are conducting a coordinated attack on the Allied interests in the Persian Gulf. Abu Dhabi is their primary target. Intelligence reports also show that they intend to attack any Allied long-range missile platforms approaching the area. This would indicate that the Tico SWP platforms are to be targeted. Equally in danger are amphibious units and the carriers. They should be provided with extra air and sea protection due to the volatile nature of the area and the fanaticism of these Arab factions.
