Red Phoenix - Battle of the Tsushima, 1987

Description
The 2nd Korean War is over. A Chinese airborne division sits in the no-mans-land between the 2 sides, making sure that the peace is kept. North Korea is finished. Not even the late intervention of the Soviet Union could have prevented it's demise. However, that same Soviet intervention has sent shockwaves around the world. NATO and the USSR are closer to WW3 than they were during the Cuban Missile Crisis. In the North Pacific, a massive Soviet SAG prepares to cross through the Tsushima Strait. The only problem is that the survivors of the South Korean navy, as well as the American Constellation and Nimitz battlegroups, stand in their way. Will the Soviets begin WW3 in the North Pacific, or will they back down to fight another day?

Removed the visibility of the Blinder Base and changed scoring penalty for aircraft and ship loss. Others have been able to complete this scenario, so I won't be changing the difficulty. One tip is to not surge all your fighters at once and to adjust the doctrine so that fighters don't RTB after one engagement. You know the soviets have more than just a handful of Mig-23s and -29s, so make sure to keep fighters in reserve, even if that means you give them temporary air superiority.

Tried this one out and a couple of points need looking at I reckon. The one base is visible and is named Blinder base, so that needs hiding I think.
Scoring is off in as much as my forces were completely massacred, however ship losses score as a positive.

This is pretty one sided overall and I don't know if others win as US/ Japan? The other side clearly know where your forces are, after an initial dogfight which worked well, the primarily Backfire strike is well timed, my fighters were out of action, but there isn't much air defence from cruisers and the like. As a result we were rapidly overwhelmed and both the carriers were sunk or heavily damaged.

I've read the book too It's one of my favorites. I spent 6 rl hours in this senario yesterday. I think it's the most fun I've had to date in this game, well done sir. There's a lot of surprises I won't give away. I love it forces you to pay close attention to all aspects of a naval engagement. ASuW, ASW, early warning, ECM, and management of land based assets. If you don't I promise this will bite you. :D
