LOCATION : STRAIT OF TAIWAN
DATE/TIME: 1 JANUARY 1995, 18:00:00 ZULU
By the end of 1994, the world had witnessed two significant military events. First, there was the Chinese attack on Taiwan. The invasion, although fiercely contested by the Taiwanese Naval and Air Forces, was successful. Second, and perhaps as potentially threatening to the balance of naval power in the Western Pacific as the fall of Taiwan, there was the Chinese purchase of the Russian vessels Admiral Flota Sovetskoga Soyuza Kuznetsov, and Admiral Ushakov.
In response to the shifting of power in the Western Pacific, and by way of extending aid to Taiwan, a valuable economic ally to the United States, the U.S. government decided to send a carrier group, centered on the Nimitz, to reclaim the Taiwan Strait. Only after the strait is reclaimed can US ground forces embark for Taiwan.
DESIGNER'S NOTES:
This scenario is intended both to provide a continuation of a storyline begun in the Global Conflicts One Battleset, and to illustrate one possible future that sees one nation selling another nation significant military assets. In this case, in order to raise badly needed capital, the Russians have sold the Admiral Kusnetsov, and a Kirov class guided missile cruiser (nuclear powered). These choices are based on the suppositions that the newest of the Russian Kusnetsov class aircraft carriers, the Varyag, has indeed been completed and put into service, thereby offsetting the loss of the Admiral Kusnetsov, and that the Chinese would, as a necessary part of the transaction, receive a substantial escort vessel for the carrier.
This scenario has been re-built for compatibility with the PlayersDB with the consent of AGSI.
