You are ordered to move a small through the Atlantic close to Kevlavik in order to unload. The way ahead is dangerous and time is short. Be quick, but very cautious at the same time. You are outgunned, this scen is a heavily modified version of DeGoey´s original recommendation. The Soviet side now is really strong. Playing red side is possible, maybe interesti…

File Name: In Self-Defence ? File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac In Self-Defence ? The failure to implement a comprehensive peace treaty between Japan and the Soviet Union after the end of the Second World War has acted as an obstacle to the resolution of an outstanding territorial dispute over the Kuril Archipelago. In recent years, the Russian attitude toward the issue appears to have moved toward one of consolidating control rather than giving up the territory. Now, the Russians have moved significant military forces into Etorofu, and it appears they are bent on consolidating their illegal hold. A Japanese fishing vessel ha…

When war broke out in the Persian Gulf, a NSC carrier battlegroup was on exercise off the coast of Morocco. Its operations in the Atlantic were apparently unscheduled, the group having already carried out the bulk of planned maneuvers in the Gulf of Sidra in August 1995. The nearest NATO group w…

File Name: The Battle of El Arish File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC Shortly after the Six Day War, Soviet forces joined briefly with Egyptian forces against Israel in a "War of Attrition." Although this failed to seriously damage Israel, it laid the foundation for future joint Soviet-Egypt military action. By 1990, the progress towards peace made by Sadat and Begin fifteen years earlier has mostly fallen by the wayside. Soviet forces have returned to Egypt. Intelligence suggests that they may again initiate joint attacks against Israel. (Released January 2007). Click here to download this file

File Name: The Pearly Gates (NWUG1) File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK The Pearly Gates (Part 1 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 traditio…

SPOILER ALERT (Note played in latest beta GE 2010.019, that might make a difference) Opening the game (playing blue) paused: it is just after midnight in calm conditions with three surface groups of patrol boats comprising 2 groups of three Saar (gabriel SSMs 12 mile range) and one group (AAS) of two Dabur ("pop-guns" only) cruising about 45 miles out from Latakia, the two Saar groups being close to each other and about 20 miles north west of the Daburs. No enemy are detected other than Latakia but intelligence indicates two or three fast missile boats (long range styxs SSM) are deployed. The Saar groups are both conducting a similar curved patrol taking them in a l…

I hope that these will serve as a training tool for beginners, and an overview of the relative capabilities of American, French, Russian, and British carrier groups around 2014 or so for more advanced players. "Historical" accuracy is a goal, so Tomcats, Backfires, Vikings, etc. are absent in this collec…

When regular Turkish forces stormed the island a few months later, NATO was embarrassed. …

File Name: Resolve (Part 3 of 3) File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac Resolve (Part 3 of 3) The destruction of the PLAN convoy near Daishan has effectively prevented the reinforcement of PRC troops already landed in Taiwan, and within the last few days, most of these troops have either surrendered or been destroyed. Marines from the Essex ARG have landed ashore and are assisting Taiwanese Army forces in mopping up PRC resistance. Meanwhile, air strikes from the Chinese mainland have been considerably reduced in volume and intensity. Intelligence and media reports indicate a great deal of confusion - some say chaos - in Beijing,…
