File Name: Back to Baghdad File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: IOPG Back to Baghdad EC2000 Battle for the Gulf of Oman It is late 2002, and the prospect of war in the Persian Gulf is once again considered very likely. The US has already deployed large forces to the theater in preparation for what looks to be an inevitable conflict with Iraq, and the buildup continues. The political landscape, however, is very different from what it was in 1991. Both Saudi Arabia and Turkey, key Coalition partners in Operation Desert Storm, have this time refused to permit American forces to deploy troops at their installations or launch offensive ope…

A meaningful treaty is expected within weeks, with reparations and prisoner exchange to be negotiated over the next few months. In addition, the Allied victory in the East Indian Ocean a few weeks ago caused several Indian surface units to be handed over, including a Co…

They now have a launch point to control the East Indian Ocean, taking some of the pressure off Diego Garcia as being the supplying and staging base of future operations. Also included in this coup was the recapturing of several key British naval ships - amphibious units of the Ocean-class and Typ…

The Allies must try once again in Operation Jewel Thief. The Federation has now committed several destroyer and frigate scout and attack squadrons to the detail of taking out Surat Thani and the American amphibious force stationed there. There ar…

Intelligence estimates that its only a matter of time before China, and several South East Asian countries join up. Strangely enough, Vietnam remains decidedly neutral and even leaning toward Allied sympathies;…

File Name: MEDFED10 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC Bottling up the black sea EC2000 Battle for the Mediterranean Sea The previous months saw a marginal victory for the Allied forces in a bid to retake the Med and contain the European Federation's newly rebuilt Black Sea fleet. Unfortunately, two new carrier groups slipped through the hastily gathered Allied mission and reports have these rogue groups seeking refuge somewhere on the southern coast of Turkey. A number of other Russian, Turkish and Arab destroyers and frigates remain poised and regrouping into patrols in the Aegean. Spain remains a steadfast supporter of the F…

File Name: MEDFED9 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 07 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC Allies take back the Med EC2000 Battle for the Mediterranean With a surprise victory in the previous month, the Allies were able to break the blockade created by the European Federation and reinforce American naval units in the Med and refortify Tel Aviv. The Federation wants to reverse this setback, so they have gathered their naval assets in the central Med. Intelligence estimates conclude that they intend to open up a gap to bring out the recently rebuilt Black Sea Fleet; a giant force capable of driving a wedge clear to Africa if given the opportunity to pass through…

The North Sea is firmly in Federation hands. The British Parliament has become split over the topic of joining the European Federation and abandoning its alliance with the Americans. A handful of ships stationed off N…

File Name: ATLEFED5 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: NACV Variant on the Hudson Bay/Icelandic Assault EC2000 Battle for the Atlantic This variation on the EuroFed4 scenario finds the Federation bringing a larger fight into the Hudson Bay. By conducting maneuvers in the Bay before hostilities began, the Federation had pre-positioned an effective fighting force, able to provide sufficient offensive cover for an assault on North America - a ploy to pin down available Allied fighting forces, while the real target may well be the Icelandic ports. The Federation will attempt to destroy as much Allied naval power as possible, and will ta…

Even now Arab sentiment and careful negotiations with the Federation may reap a fruitful agreement on a joint participation in the control of the Mediterranean Sea. By holding bases at the entrance, specifically Gilbraltar and some naval ports, the Federation begins to…

This was made possible due to the withdrawal of the major Allied forces stationed in Lajes, who were needed in the ensuing brawl brewing in the Mediterrranean with the rise of the Near East Federation. The rest were recalled to Norfolk, Brooklyn and New London. Apparently, Langley had received good information about a possible coordinated …

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 o…

It has created the largest standing army in the world; and with the old Soviet Navy rebuilt and combined with the rest of Europe's navies, the Federation now boasts one of the strongest naval forces, second only to an American Navy that has been on a recent down-sizing trend. The Russian Bear arises once again in its new-found union with the E.F. However, t…

Allied naval exercises were a disaster, with the Federation chosing the perfect opportunity to disrupt and fragment Anglo-American naval forces into a retreat with a coordinated attack on their war games in conjunction with an attack on their vital bases - taking out Cherbourg and circling the wagons around remaining French naval units. The Anglo-American force uses a new Mitchel-class …

With no cohesive infrastructure and fractionalized, bitter in-fighting divides members into ever-changing spheres of influence. Finally, Germany breaks off, taking the rest of continental Europe and Russia into an alliance called the European Federation. Only France remains sitting on the fence. England and the United States have consolidated assets and have formed an Allied alliance in order to protect vital interests and maintain a balance of power. They must now attem…
