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).
SOSUS reports and satellite recon indicates that a large number of NSC submarines have put to sea. Some of these are believed to be enroute to UBAN states, intending to either directly intervene in operations in the Mediterranean or Middle East, or to deliver components for UBAN ballistic missiles. A team of NATO submarines have been dispatched to the Gap to interdict and destroy the approaching surge of NSC submarines.
