The 4th new scenario of the year!

Cold Front

New World Order battleset #4 - Part 1 - The War with UBAN - Indian Ocean Persian Gulf - #3 COLD FRONT

In September 1995, one of the West's not-so-secret desires was fulfilled. Saddam Hussein, the mother-of-all dictators, was assassinated. However, this apparent good fortune has also kindled one of the Western world's darkest fears. In the chaos following Hussein's demise, the "rogue nation" of Iran has taken political control of Iraq. This new nation has further amalgamated with Yemen, Syria, Egypt, and Libya in a new military and economic confederation known as the United Brotherhood of Arab-Persian Nations (UBAN). Led by Tehran, UBAN is, of course, staunchly anti-American. It is also the largest oil producer and the largest market for military arms in the world. These factors have combined to bring in the cash-hungry NSC as a powerful ally of the new Arab alliance. In a third, infinitely more terrifying re-play of the 1980-1988 and 1990-1991 Persian Gulf conflicts, UBAN has threatened to cut off the flow of oil in the Gulf and to invade both Kuwait and Saudi Arabia if the latter nations do not join UBAN.

The loss of these friendly partners would be a tremendous blow. Bolstered by its alliance with the NSC (New Soviet Confederation), UBAN is determined to make good on its promise to drive out the Great Satan.

Things just got much worse, which is hard to believe, since Kuwait and much of Saudi Arabia has already fallen to advancing UBAN forces. The NSC has carried out air strikes against our key bases in Turkey thereby shutting down NATO operations there. The Turks have refused to permit our aircraft sanctuary for fear that NSC will renew its attacks. There are also indications that the NSC will assist UBAN in repelling the American CVBG now entering the battle zone.

Subj: NSC Intervention

1. SitRep
NSC attacks on Turkish bases have prevented us from using Turkey as a base for future operations. Turkey has refused access to US forces due to the threat of further NSC attack. Dhahran and Manama have been overrun by UBAN ground forces late last night. The situation at FEBA in Saudi Arabia is grim.

2. Orders

CVBG 44.1 - Flag Eisenhower - Proceed at best speed to the NW end of the Arabian Gulf. Upon arrival, begin strike operations against targets in Iran, Iraq, and Yemen. Attack by NSC aerial assets is considered a definite possibility. Engage NSC forces only in self-defence.

From within your Patrol Zone, conduct TLAM strike against facilities at Bandar-e-Abbas, Kish Island, and Bushehr. At your discretion, you may allocate a maximum of 8 TLAM against Jask and Chah Bahr targets.

CentCom HQ Riyadh - Begin withdrawal of aircraft and personnel from Saudi Arabia to Diego Garcia. Combat-capable aircraft should continue to suppress UBAN targets for as long as possible.
