Northern Fury baackground.

On the 19th of August 1991, hard-liners in the Soviet leadership, calling themselves the 'State Emergency Committee', launched the ‘August Coup’ in order to remove Gorbachev from power and prevent the signing of the new union treaty. Although experiencing some initial setbacks and resounding world condemnation – the coup was a success. The concepts of Perestroika and Glasnost, and the economic and political restructuring they implied, were abolished overnight. Independence movements in 14 states were ruthlessly quashed, including those in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and Georgia where self-rule had already been declared. Internal strife reminiscent of the 1920’s lasted for just over a month but the iron rule of the reinvigorated Communist Party prevailed in all areas.

NATO watched nervously as their efforts to encourage Eastern European countries away from Dictatorship were methodically dashed. Only Poland and the re-unified Germany managed to avoid the restoration of the Warsaw Pact. Poland has declared itself Neutral and Non-aligned; however significant pro Eastern Bloc movements exist and are in a constant struggle with its emerging Capitalist economy. Germany is in a difficult position as many of its Left Wing political elements have been proposing the abandonment of collective defense as a viable strategy for the future.

Meanwhile, NATO is decisively engaged as its (original 16) various governments were attempting to realize the ‘peace dividend’ by reducing military forces, and employing what is left in non-traditional roles in order to justify costs. With significantly reduced Land, Sea and Air forces embroiled in the Balkans, the Persian Gulf, Somalia, Rwanda and The Sudan, resources are spread thinner than they have been since the 1940’s. Tensions with Iraq are high and the threat to stability in Middle East is extreme.

On the 9th of February 1994, a Soviet supported Coup toppled the Polish government and sent the emergent democratic state into anarchy. The UN Security council response was futile and an emergency sitting of NATO’s North Atlantic Council (NAC) was called for the 12th of February.

In Norway - The International Olympic Committee (IOC), in consultation with the UN decided to carry on with the Winter Games which were opened in Lillehammer, on February 12th. Soviet and Eastern Bloc countries were represented at the opening ceremonies but many of their athletes were not present at the start of the actual events on the 13th, the Russian Olympic village was empty and initial investigation found that many of the athletes had simply disappeared, while only a few had flown home. Norway has called up its reserves and ordered the IOC to cancel the games and evacuate the Olympic Village. The world is in an uproar over the loss of the Olympic spectacle and TV commentators all over the Globe are criticizing Norway’s decision. (They need something to fill the air time!)

Designer’s Notes:

This is a Classic Third World War setting which focuses on the break out of the Red Banner Northern Fleet and its operations in the North Atlantic. Many Soviet platforms historically decommissioned between 1989 and 1994 remain active.

In response to the ‘91 Coup, the US military has had some success with Congress in obtaining needed funding. The USS Ranger (CV-61) was not decommissioned but instead, held in San Diego with reduced crew and no air group as ready reserve, and the USS Forrestal (CV-59) was retained as an air training carrier. USS Enterprise (CVN-65) completed an accelerated overhaul 8 months early and deployed to Puerto Rico on her sea trials at the end of Jan 94. All other CV/CVN refits were put on hold or hastily completed which necessitated the retention of Carrier Air Wing (CAW) 10 on Independence (CV 62) and authorization of a 13th CAW. CAW 6 formed initially from USMC and reserves, it is now fully formed from regular USN squadrons, causing the retention in service of some additional A6-Es, and is now on Enterprise.

All of the Iowa class BBs were retained in service. Many other ships historically decommissioned due to the ‘piece dividend’ were retained; in particular the CGNs the Belknap and Leahy CGs and some older FF/FFGs; some construction and refits were accelerated.

The START II treaty limits were largely adhered to, with the major exception that 96 B-52 Gs and the single B-1 due to retire are retained, as well as a reduced fleet of F-111 E & F. The first 6 B-2s were rushed into service and along with 2 of the prototypes have formed the first Squadron of 8 stealth bombers. The remainder will be produced at a rate of 6/year and will allow for the gradual retirement of the B-52G’s. SSBN limits were complied with although 1 x Ohio class SSBN was put in service 2 months early.

The US Army is in the most difficult position. A Brigade sized force remains in Soudi Arabia and Kuwait on Operation SOUTHERN WATCH. In Europe, V Corps remains active in Germany with 1st Armd and 1st Infantry Divisions supported by 2nd Armd Cavalry Regiment (ACR). Also, VII Corps which was due to decommission after the Gulf war was retained but reduced to 1 Brigade for each Division in Germany and the remainder in the US (3rd Armd, 3rd and 8th Infantry Divisions), 11 ACR remains in Germany. The POMCUS sites have been kept fully operational and 6 Brigades worth of equipment have been added (for VII Corps units).
