Northern Fury 10 - Eisenhower moves North, 1994

Northern Fury 10 -Eisenhower moves North 19 February 1994, 0000 Zulu, 0000 Local Entering the sixth day of a new global war between East and West, the situation is starting to stabilize. 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 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 mustering and will make a push with four CVBGs and the New Jersey in a couple days. The situation in the North Atlantic remains desperate. The rapid capture of North Norway and Iceland have allowed the Soviets to surge almost 100 submarines into the Atlantic. The USS Enterprise CVBG spent two difficult days blunting an attempt by the Red Banner Northern Fleet to interdict the sea lanes, she is now retiring, as are the major Soviet surface units, to replenish. Now, as Enterprise steams South, the USS Eisenhower, after three days of hard fighting in the Mediterranean, has passed through he pillars of Hercules and is heading North. She and the USS Carl Vinson CVBG will strike at Soviet forces around Iceland three days from now. This scenario is playable by either WP or NATO: As the NATO player you must re-assemble and reinforce your BG as it is dispersed over several hundred miles due to replenishment demands. Two ships are still in the Med after conducting hasty repairs in Toulon, while a major portion of the force is escorting AOE Detroit and is just departing Rota. Most of your F/A-18s are in Rota Spain undergoing an upgrade, and you can expect replacements for your losses to fly in from NAS Oceana tomorrow. Finally you must link up with HMS Fort George in a designated assembly area in preparation for your strike on Icelan
