Escape from the Med
EC2000 Battle for the Mediterranean
The European Federation's aggression in the Baltic, Iceland/UK Gap and North Atlantic has spread into the Mediterranean. With France siding over to the E.F., Italy has decided to remain committed to the Federation's cause. Earlier in the month, the Italian navy had siezed three Saar V's from the Israelis that were on maneuvers in the Adriatic. Italy has now positioned several of it's naval assets, in coordination with some French carrier groups, to create a blockade and prevent American forces from trying to leave or establishing reinforcement. There are several Arab navies whom are sympathetic to the Federation and are on the brink of signing a multi-lateral agreement of military and economic cooperation.
