Campaign 4 - The War with UBAN
New World Order series
EC2000 GIUK battleset
Once it became clear that the NSC would be backing UBAN, tensions in the North Atlantic rose sharply. The NSC began overtly shipping large quantities of arms and war materiel to UBAN nations, a considerable portion of which had to pass through the Greenland-Iceland-UK Gap. NATO threatened a blockade, and the NSC, of course, promised to retaliate if its merchant convoys were disturbed in any way. The stage was therefore set for a return to the traditional stomping grounds of the navies of the East and West blocs. (Released November 2000).
Following a direct clash of arms between NATO and the NSC in the Gap, a state of war now exists between these two blocs. The situation has been greatly exacerbated by the NSC air strikes in Turkey, which serves to underscore the seriousness of the situation. The boundary at Breakwater Nine has now been disposed of, and now all NSC shipping in the North Atlantic is subject to attack. Norway has agreed to do its part in finding and destroying NSC naval elements. This effort comes at a price.
