Operation Feral Chatter (Part 6 of 7)
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).
There are reports that the NSC is now stepping up its transport flights into Iran, and may even be transporting high-technology material via submarine as a way of avoiding the blockade. It has been decided that the best way to cut the illegal supply to UBAN is by attacking airbases and ports in NSC territory. The Nimitz has managed to punch through the Gap and proceed into a striking position near the Kola. NSC forces on Iceland are degraded but not neutralized, and the enemy position in Norway can only be described as a fortress.
