Battle Ocean '64 -- Teesport Convoy, 1964

This scenario is part of the Battle Ocean '64 series. It assumes a limited "tit for tat" naval war has erupted between the Soviet Union and some of the nations in NATO. At present, the United States is playing a difficult game of diplomacy, talking with the Soviets to prevent escalation, talking to their allies in NATO to assure them that if a larger war erupts, America will stand with them, and trying to avoid doing anything that might The events leading up to this scenario begin with a German convoy sending humanitarian aid to rebels in Poland in August. The convoy came under attack, but arrived in Poland with minimal losses. Days later, a German submarine was sunk by Soviet forces. A couple of weeks later, in September, two Soviet submarines discovered off the coast of Scotland were sunk by British forces, which then came under attack by Sovet ships and aircraft. Both sides have taken losses; both sides have drawn blood. The Soviet Union has stated that the "vicious and barbaric actions of the West will not be tolerated" and has threated to attack British shipping headed for Germany. The United Kingdom has declared that such actions will be considered "nothing less than an act of war, and while the Soviets should understand we have no intention of threatening their homeland, neither will we accept any nation's attempt to deny us the freedom of the seas." ------------------------------------------------------- A delta template .ini file has been included in the .zip file to assist in updating the scenario to any future versions of the database.
