September 4, 1985 - In the Strait of Gibraltar:
In this fictional scenario, Operation "Iron Shadow" is a decisive military action by the Soviet Northern Fleet to intercept and destroy a NATO-convoy consisting of the supply ships Mount Baker and Mount Hood, which were transporting ammunition and supplies from London to Gibraltar.

That is just flavor text, of course. I would also suggest putting the mission in the folder "Warsaw Pact" so that it's properly sorted (something a lot of modders ignore). :steamhappy:

Leitwolf, sure--it appears in the briefing and the mission success congratulation screen. Seeing how this is being translated from German (if I'm not mistaken) I assume it was just a small mistake, but something to consider. From the other side, it would be a little awkward to refer to "America" or "the American Navy"--it would be the United States, and especially the United States or U.S. Navy. Likewise, the country would be called "the Soviet Union", or the Union, or the USSR even; unlike in the United States example, "Russia" is no where in the country's name (it is the name of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, a constituent part of the USSR); likewise, there is no "Russian Navy" the way we're thinking of (certainly not one with nuclear attack submarines); only a Soviet Navy (or "Soviet Military Maritime Fleet", or even "Red Fleet" informally; it was not called the Red Army by this time either).

Hey Synthesis, thanks so much for your detailed feedback :steamthumbsup:! Im really glad to hear you enjoyed the mission. You're absolutely right with your critique - there are definitely still a few things that slipped through that could be improved. I've already adjusted parts of the text to make it feel a bit more believable. Could you let me know exactly where the phrase "the Russian Navy" appears? I’d like to fix that as soon as possible.

A very fun little convoy raiding mission, good way for learn submarine tactics if you're not familiar with them. My only critique is that the flavor text is a bit off--there's no reason they would call themselves "the Russian Navy" ("Soviet Navy", "Northern Fleet", "Severomorsk", or even just "the Navy" would all be more correct). I'm a little curious as to why the German diesel boats would be "seasoned", but the Soviet nuclear attack submarines would only be "trained", but I imagine you have your reasons for that. A good scenario overall!
