The Second Battle of Midway, 1994

Hello again Everyone!

Recently as I was playing some Wargame: Red Dragon, I was inspired to slightly modify it's "Second Korean War" premise and scenario into a full-on World War 3 series of Scenarios for CMANO. I've decided to title it "World War 3; 1994" This is the first mission resulting from that idea, but not the first one "Chronologically"

This is currently a WORK-IN-PROGRESS: This mission is fully playable from the American side, but I am currently working on making it playable from the Comientern side

1989-1990;

The Berlin Wall is torn down as the Iron Curtain falls apart. All of the former Soviet Block states in Eastern Europe have abandoned Communism and the Warsaw Pact. In Europe, the Soviet Union stands alone.

Seeing that Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms will inevitably lead to the dissolution of the Union, a group of party and military leaders overthrow Gorbachev and cease the reforms, saving the Soviet Union from total collapse. While the Union is secure for the moment, they have lost their foothold and most of their power in Europe.

Seeking to retain their position as a world superpower, the Soviet Union improves relations with it's last remaining Communist neighbors, China and North Korea. In return for their renewed friendship and alliance, China and North Korea demand access to the Russian's most advanced military and industrial technologies, while the Soviets get massive economic support from a revived China that recieved back Hong Kong, and additional military support from North Korea; the Soviet Union agrees, and a new world alliance, the revived Comientern, is born.


1991;

Iraq invades Kuwait, thus inviting a massive allied coalition to invade Iraq and utterly destroy their military, called Operation: Desert Storm. Soviet Advisors in the country are given an unprecidented chance to see the most advanced NATO technologies and tactics put to actual combat use, and to see how their own export equipment measures up.
Noting the many deficiencies in their own tech, the Soviet Union and their Comientern allies begin a massive program of rearmament and universal changes to their military technologies and doctrines.


March 1994;

North Korea decides that it is time to re-unify the Korean Peninsula under their rule and launches a massive invasion into the south. Again, an allied coalition is assembled, and deploys to Korea, this time to utterly destroy the Communist North, unlike in 1953. China engages it's own armed forces in the conflict due to "massive external interference", while the Soviets put their western forces on high-alert.

A minor airspace violation by a Finnish jet which lost avionics exploded into an all-out shooting war with the West; World War 3 has begun.

The MAD doctrine has worked all-too well; Nuclear weapons have so far not been used in any form, as all countries are terrified of global apocalypse.
With much of the Allies' frontline military forces in Korea, the North Korean's have been obliterated, but this has allowed for large Soviet and Chinese successes on other fronts.

Additionally, Soviet and Chinese naval forces have broken out of the so-called "Tsushima Pocket" and are running rampant in the Pacific. Chinese and Soviet marines have overrun a number of allied bases on Pacific islands in a manner not-unlike Japan in World War 2.


May 1994;

The Comientern are moving on one of the last major American bases in the Pacific before they can cut off allied reinforcements to Korea and Japan; Midway Atoll. The United States has mustered all that it can to defend the Islands, a large SAM network on Midway, a large marine attack aircraft compliment, a number of nuclear attack subs patrolling the waters, the Missouri and Wisconsin Battleship Battlegroup, and the combined Enterprise Nimitz and Eisenhower CVBG to intercept the Comientern and destroy them...
