Northern Fury 20 - BUFF Stampede

Northern Fury 20 - BUFF Stampede 23 February 1994, 1800 Zulu, 1600 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, to close the airbases, conducted by 27th Tactical Fighter Wing on its transit to Europe last night. The 3rd phase occurred earlier today when the 2 CVBGs moved north again to conduct precision strike on C2 targets. Now it is time to bring in the heavy hitters and restore cave dwelling as an acceptable way of life for the Soviets on Iceland! This scenario is playable by NATO: You are to conduct a short, sharp bomb run of key facilities remaining on Iceland while transiting the 2nd Bomber Wing to bases in England. Your bomber wing is comprised of 3 Squadrons of B-52’s and has been augmented by a Squadron each of B-1’s, EF-111. F-16 Blk 40 and several squadrons of tankers. As well as support from elements of 2nd Marine Air Group (2MAG), and a U-2, the ‘Spirit of Missouri' one of 8 operational B-2’s will make that types combat debut (in the Northern Fury World). --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Designer’s Notes: This is the twentieth scenario of a 58 scenario campaign.
