Operation Cold Shoulder

Description
Faroe Islands, 1st August 1985
On the eve of war, the Soviet Union executed a bold amphibious assault, seizing the Faroe Islands to strangle the vital GIUK Gap. With troops and equipment massing for further strikes into the North Atlantic and Iceland, Moscow threatens to dominate the region and cripple NATO’s strategic footing. In response, a Marine amphibious group surges toward the islands, while air wings converge overhead to hammer Soviet defenses. The Battle of the Faroe Islands is about to begin.

Hey. Did the mission. Some feedback:
- Briefing looks really good and is credible.
- The B-52s can't kill the airfield because airfields somehow have a TON of highpoints. Even a few more strikes with Harriers wasn't enough.
- There isn't enough opposition to the surface units you have as a player. I found the submarines pretty easily and took them out without a hitch.
- F-4 SEAD flight couldn't detect any radar from the SAMs around the airfield. Might be a game issue, but the F-4 doesn't have any ESM so typically doesn't even detect radar. Not a great choice for SEAD.

Very good mission! There should be a flight of prowlers as well for offensive ECM against those big SAMs. That's realistic, and would make the mission much more playable.
