File Name: LaGrange Six File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC In this scenario, the ties and alliances between a host of European nations, old and new alike, have broken down. War has broken out once again between newly reformed states, failed states, and age old enemies. This time, the relationships evidenced by NATO, the EU and the like, have also crumbled. France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Bulgaria, Romania and Slovakia have joined the battle on the side of Croatia, while the US, UK, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and the Ukraine have pledged to support Macedonia and the Former Yugoslavia. Peacekeeping in the region is no longer a viable option, and American and British forces are now being pulled out in an effort to avoid to impending quagmire ... (Released October 2005).

File Name: Forced into a Corner File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC Chaos reigned in the aftermath of the fall of Saddam Hussein and his regime. The United States failed to obtain sufficient support from the international community for its exercise in nation building, and with the body count rising and a new Administration in Washington, US forces pulled out in late 2004. Continuing political friction with the European Union was only aggravated by the turn of events in Iraq. The withdrawal of any significant Western presence in the Middle East led to a power vacuum that soon twisted itself into a nightmare scenario. The intifada in Israel intensified when the USA pulled out of Iraq. The Israelis responded with a heavy hand. In turn, the longtime enemies of Israel sensed an opportunity, and then moved with shocking speed. (Released August 2004). Click here to download this file

File Name: Patriot Lane File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC Egyptian and Syrian air strikes against Israel have in large part been repelled, but not without a heavy cost in lives and equipment. Worse, Jordan has joined the cause and is supporting a massive overland assault by armored forces moving through the Golan Heights and across the Sinai. The George Bush carrier battle group has now arrived in the battle zone, having suppressed a hostile Libya, but we can no longer rely on support from the RAF or Aviano airbase in Italy. The situation in Israel is desperate. They are battling valiantly against the Arab incursion, but it is questionable how long they can hold out without reinforcement and resupply. A merchant convoy is enroute to Haifa, but they will need protection if they are to make it safely. (Released August 2004). Click here to download this file

File Name: Tsetskli ! File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC Today, as the first decade of the 21st century comes to a close, Georgia remains piteously poor. And, yet, geopolitically, it is a country of enormous importance. An immense pipeline passes through Georgian territory, moving vast quantities of oil and gas from the Caspian Sea to a Turkish port. In the wake of the American withdrawal (some might say, ejection) from the Persian Gulf, Caspian oil is seen as crucially important in relieving dependence on oil from the Gulf region. The Russians are about to withdraw from the republic completely, and NATO membership is just around the corner for Georgia. And, still, as always, trouble is brewing just below the surface. Its only a matter of time before a soldier calls, "Tsetskli ! Tsetskli ! Tsetskli !" (Released July 2004). Click here to download this file

File Name: Med War File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC The Eastern Mediterranean has erupted into chaos. Israel's enemies Syria and Libya have decided to wipe Israel from the map. Meanwhile, the Egyptian government has been accused by Libya of being "a traitor to the Arab cause" and is massing troops along the common border. Intelligence sources have been observing an increase in readiness levels of both Libya and Syria in the past few months. In addition, both governments have purchased a large amount of Soviet equipment. In an unforeseen development, Soviet paratroopers and Marines have taken over the Suez Canal zone in a "caretaker and peacekeeping" mission in order to "protect the canal until regional tension abates." The United Nations has condemned this action and is demanding the withdrawal of Soviet forces from the region. Intelligence sources have observed a large number of Soviet reserve forces being mobilized and returned to active service. In addition several Northern Fleet units have entered the Mediterranean Sea supposedly headed towards Sevastopol for overhaul. Contact has been lost with these units. (Released January 2005).

File Name: ISR10A1 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC A few years in the future ... A military coup has placed a radical Islamic government in control of Egypt. Mossad has uncovered evidence that the new Egyptian government has sponsored acts of terrorism against Israel and other Western nations. Israel has decided to impose a blockade on the Egyptian port of Alexandria. Unfortunately, the E.U. is not entirely convinced that Egypt is guilty of sponsoring terrorism, and refuses to recognize the blockade as legitimate. There is growing concern that one or more European nations will try to run the blockade. For the present, the United States is staying neutral, but it will assist Israel if additional evidence surfaces. Turkey has also said it will assist Israel if new evidence against Egypt appears (and has been condemned by other Islamic nation for being "Israel's good dog"). (Released October 2004).

File Name: ISR10A2 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC A few years in the future ... Israel, beleving Egypt to be responsible for terrorist attacks, has blockaded the port of Alexandria. The E.U., refusing to believe that Egypt was responsible, attempted to run the blockade; the convoy of tankers escorted by Italian warships was destroyed, a humiliating defeat for the E.U. The E.U. has decided to punish Israel by destroying as much of its navy and air assets as it can. Two large task forces have been dispatched to take control of the eastern Mediterranean. A large number of air assets have been transferred to Greek air bases in preparation for massive strikes against Israeli bases, surface vessels, and submarines. The E.U. task force consists of French, Italian, and Greek forces. Interestingly, Germany and the U.K. have invoked their rights as E.U. members to not join these missions. The diplomatic furor over this is huge and there may be reprecussions for the E.U. that extend far beyond the fate of the Jewish state. (Released October 2004). Click here to download this file

File Name: ITA10A1 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC A few years in the future ... Disputes over trade and environmental issues have created friction between Russia and the European Union. After one incident where two of its warships were sunk by E.U. forces, there is evidence that Russia will make a punitive strike designed to "educate" the E.U. The "lesson," of course, is that Europe cannot attack Russia with impunity. Russia believes that America is unlikely to interefere. The growing global influence and economic power of the E.U. has created tension with the United States. If Russian troops were marching into Berlin or Paris, the United States would act to defend its allies and its strategic interests, but the prevailing attitude in America at the moment is that, for anything less, the E.U. can fend for itself. In fact, there are many Americans who would like to see the E.U. humbled a bit. The loss of a few warships or a few city blocks may be just the thing to do it. (Released October 2004).

Relations between Ukraine and some of its neighbors have become strained. In particular, Ukraine has demanded that Romania stop violating its trade sanctions against other Black Sea nations like Georgia.

File Name: Storsjoodjuret File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK The worst case scenario for Sweden has just come to pass. Failed promises of prosperity after EU integration, combined with persistent high unemployment, have suddenly brought down the government in Finland and replaced it with one friendly to an aggressive Russian Federation. Russian armed forces have been granted access to Finnish airspace and territory as part of a mutual defence pact. This includes the Aland Islands, which are rumoured to have been "leased" (some say sold) to Russia, and already military forces are reported to be digging in around the islands and constructing fortifications there. This is extremely alarming to Sweden, whose protests have gone unanswered in Helsinki and Moscow. (Released January 2006). Click here to download this file

File Name: Operation Thistle File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK Operation Thistle (Battle Ocean 1990 series) EC2003 GIUK It is 1990 and the world is at war. The Soviet Union has invaded and occupied Iran. In response, the United States and many of its allies have declared war on the Soviet Union. One of the objectives of the Soviet Union is to destroy oil rigs in the North Sea, as this will cause serious economic and strategic harm to the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. The less oil the West has, the more difficult it will be for them to defeat the Soviet Union. Early in the war, the Soviets attacked Norway, damaging many military installations and capturing others in the north of that country. They are now using some of those bases to attack Western forces.

File Name: Last Tango to Portsmouth File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK Last Tango to Portsmouth (Battle Ocean 1990 series) EC2003 GIUK It is 1990 and the world is at war. England is in jeopardy. As in the last two World Wars, the enemy is attempting to bring England to its knees by denying it access to the sea lanes, and to the food and oil that an island nation of seventy million people must have to avoid starvation and industrial collapse. As part of the war effort, convoys carrying food, oil, and goods are in transit from the United States to England. And, as one might expect, the Soviet Union is very interested in making sure these ships never reach the British Isles. (Released February 2005). Click here to download this file
