EUROFED1

A Federation is Born

EC2000 Battle for the Norwegian Sea

NATO is on the ropes. With no cohesive infrastructure and fractionalized, bitter in-fighting divides members into ever-changing spheres of influence. Finally, Germany breaks off, taking the rest of continental Europe and Russia into an alliance called the European Federation. Only France remains sitting on the fence. England and the United States have consolidated assets and have formed an Allied alliance in order to protect vital interests and maintain a balance of power. They must now attempt to dissuade France from being lured into the European Federation. Germany and Russia are the centerpiece for this federation. They have combined the vast resources of an alligned Europe and have now exploded on the global market like a tidal wave. Enlarging its political and financial influence, the Federation has fueled an aggressive expansion of a standing army. In addition, they have joined their varied European navies with a rebuilding of the old Soviet Navy into a modern combined force capable of projecting power through several carrier and battle groups. Now the Federation sees it imperative to sway France over to their sphere and add French carrier groups to this expanded naval power. Caught off-guard while conducting naval exercises in the Baltic, American, British and French naval forces must deal with this new challange; the Federation has moved through the Baltic to sieze control of these vital waters and seal off the Allied exit in the waters of Denmark.
