The Fifth Horseman (Part 7 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).
As part of our plan to undertake preemptive nuclear strikes on UBAN targets, we are preparing to suppress the NSC capacity to retaliate in kind. The NSC have concentrated their own nuclear arsenal in the area of the Kola Peninsula, largely as a cost-cutting measure. The EU has authorized a preemptive attack on these targets. The attack submarine Connecticut is now moving into position to deliver a SEAL team near the airfield at Arkhangel'sk, which is tasked with the destruction of mobile Topol-M launchers.
