Northern Fury 10.2 - Ant Eaters Revenge, 1994

Northern Fury 10.2 Ant Eaters Revenge
22 February, 1994

The new global war between East and West has been raging for a full week, the situation is stabilizing but violent clashes abound. The ground war in Europe is still undecided but NATO forces in CENTAG (Central Army Group) have blunted the main Soviet advance somewhat, while the air war over Germany has seen the loss of hundreds of NATO and probably thousands of WP aircraft. Conflicts in the Caribbean, Mediterranean, Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean have stabilized in NATO’s favour, both the Panama and Suez Canals remain open and navigable. In the Pacific; Japan, Taiwan and South Korea are virtually isolated but 7th Fleet is making a push with four CVBGs and the New Jersey to regain the initiative.

The US 2nd Fleet is now conducting its first major counter-attack. The 1st phase by 2 CVBGs attacking to gain air superiority around Iceland is complete. Now it is time to shut down the Soviet airbases.

This scenario is playable by NATO:

You are tasked with conducting a decisive airstrike with the 27th Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW) reinforced, while transiting your forces to England. The 27th TFW consists of 3 squadrons of F-111 and a supporting squadron of EF-111s ECM aircraft, for this strike the wing has been reinforced by a squadron each of F-15C, F-15E, F-16CJ, F-4G Wild Weasel, F-117 Nighthawk and other supporting forces.

Designer’s Notes:

This is the eighteenth scenario of a campaign. See the Northern Fury background document for further insight on the background and happenings so far. The key nuggets
· Cold War continued, no thaw in relations. Germany still divided, WP still alive and doing very well.
· The 3rd World war started 13 Feb. The Warsaw Pact forces led by the Soviet Union attacked NATO and other nations on a global scale, the main blow was in Western Europe fighting erupted in the Pacific, Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa. India has declared a separate war with Pakistan, North Korea attacked Southwards in an apparently independent move and Argentina is threatening the Falklands again (but has not attacked).

In earlier scenarios to this battle set, you found that the defences in North Norway have collapsed, the Soviet Northern Fleet has put to sea, and Soviet submarines are inflicting damage along the US Eastern seaboard, Iceland is now in Soviet hands, and an attempt has been made to interdict the Sea and Air Lines of Communications between North America and Europe.

• You should turn 'special messages' ON.
• Please respect the initial ready times for aircraft, this represents designed delays that both balance the scenario and paint the picture of the ongoing conflict.
• Points are allotted or deducted for losses.
• Many of your forces in this scenario start at factitious forward bases. This is done to reduce the burden of constant A2A refueling which would be required if all aircraft started in North America and had to fly all the way to the UK while conducting a major operation enroute.
