Northern Fury 19 - Decapitation 23 February 1994, 0400 Zulu, 0300 Local 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. The 2nd phase aimed at shutting down the Soviet airbases on Iceland has just completed. Now Phase 3 is starting. This scenario is playable by NATO: With two Carrier Battle Groups, you are tasked with conducting precision strikes to eliminate HQ and C2 facilities on Iceland. ----------------------------------------------------------------- Designer’s Notes: This is the nineteenth scenario of a 58 scenario campaign.
