Northern Fury 21 - Sweep up, 1994

Northern Fury 21 - Sweep Up 24 February 1994, 0600 Zulu, 0400 Local The new global war between East and West has been raging for the past 10 days, 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 entering the final phase of its first major counter-attack. A ceaseless combination of bomber and carrier borne attacks over the past 60 hours has reduced the defences on Iceland significantly! Now all that is left is the task of sweeping up the last few targets and preparing the ground for the amphibious assault by the Marines tomorrow. If you have learned anything this past week however; nothing is simple. This scenario is playable by NATO: You have a very busy day ahead of you which will cause your forces to split – never a good thing while a competent and resourceful enemy waits for opportunities to inflict delay and damage. Your main tasks are to: Destroy any targets that have escaped prosecution so far; Destroy 30-40 bridges to divide the island in thirds, ensuring that the other, larger bridges are undamaged; Marshal, escort, insert and support a Marine Bn as it conducts a Coup de Main operation; Sweep the Denmark Straights of Soviet submarines; Destroy facilities on Jan Mayan Island; Keep the Soviets at bay, and do so with minimal casualties. Enjoy! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Designer’s Notes: This is the twen
