Northern Sentinel: Escalation at the Edge #2
2024-11-14 19:30 - 23:00 | Kola
RSVP: 24 11 14 – 19:30 (please sign-up asap though, as it makes things easier to plan)
Activity: Mission – CAP, Air Interdiction, Recon, Strike
Theatre: Kola
Modules in priority order: AWACS, STRIL (maybe only for viggen at this mission), AJS-37, F-5, F-16A (F-16C with limitations read below), F-14A, MIG-21, F4 and F1
Prerequisites: CASE 1 for F14

In 1982, rising Cold War tensions reach a critical point on the Kola Peninsula, a strategic region where Soviet forces hold their northern stronghold. NATO intelligence reports an alarming increase in Soviet military activity near Norway and Finland, including the deployment of advanced MiG-29 fighters and enhanced air defense systems. NATO responds with a coalition of air assets from Norway, Sweden, Finland, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain and France, aiming to deter Soviet aggression and protect vital northern territories.
The mission series, Northern Sentinel, follows a multinational air force tasked with defending NATO’s northern flank, carrying out reconnaissance, intercepting Soviet intruders, and engaging in strategic strikes against key targets. Each mission pushes pilots and their aircraft—F-5s, Viggens, MiG-21s, F-14s, F-4s, Mirage F1s, and Mirage 2000s—to their limits in an unforgiving arctic landscape. With heightened risks of Soviet air incursions and escalating tensions, these missions are critical in maintaining the fragile peace and stability of Northern Europe.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
Following the tense standoff of the initial engagement, the situation has rapidly worsened. Intelligence indicates that a Soviet invasion of Finland is imminent. In response, both Finland and Sweden have initiated emergency relocation of their air assets to temporary road bases to avoid the risk of attacks on major airbases. Norway and Germany, although retaining their operations from fixed airbases, are also preparing for imminent conflict. French and German forces have joined the effort, but will hold fire until Soviet forces cross the Finnish border. NATO forces, still hesitant to fully intervene, closely monitor the situation as war seems inevitable.
Despite ongoing diplomatic efforts to de-escalate the crisis, the window for peace is closing rapidly. Soviet incursions into Finnish or Norwegian airspace will now be treated as acts of war and met with a military response. Soviet forces, which include MiG-21s alongside their more advanced jets, continue to intensify their presence along the border.
Situation Overview:
Soviet forces are preparing for a large-scale invasion of Finland, leading both Finland and Sweden to relocate much of their operational aircraft to temporary road bases (vägbaser) to reduce vulnerability. Norway continues to operate from its established bases, readying both F-5s and F-16As for air defense. German F-4 Phantoms and French Mirage F1s are stationed nearby but will only engage once Soviet forces cross the Finnish border. Soviet MiG-21s, MiG-23s, MiG-29s, and advanced SAM systems present a formidable challenge for any NATO or Scandinavian aircraft in the area.
1.2 Area of operations
Kola Penisula
1.3 Time and weather
* July 14 – 1982
* 05:00 local time
* Scattered (7500′-11500′)
* Wind 325 / 5
* FORCE QNH 29.13
1.4 Air threats
The presence of MiG-21s, MiG-23s, and MiG-29s poses a significant challenge to air superiority, while ground-attack platforms like the Su-25 and MiG-27K threaten critical installations. Additionally, reconnaissance aircraft such as the An-30M provide essential intelligence support, making it imperative for NATO and Scandinavian forces to remain vigilant and prepared for a range of potential engagements.
1.5 Ground threats
Soviet SAM systems and anti-aircraft artillery in 1982 poses a formidable ground threat to NATO and Scandinavian air operations. The SA-2, SA-3, SA-5, SA-10, and SA-19 provide layered air defense capabilities, while the ZSU-23-4 Shilka enhances ground protection against low-altitude incursions. Together, these systems create a complex and dangerous environment for any air operations in the region, necessitating strategic planning and coordination among NATO and allied forces to mitigate the risks associated with these threats.
1.6 Friendly forces
The HAWK system provided medium-range surface-to-air missile capabilities, allowing for flexible deployment and effective engagement of high-altitude targets. Its advanced guidance system made it a reliable asset for protecting critical infrastructure and airspace.
Finland utilized the SA-2, an older but still effective surface-to-air missile system. Despite its age, the SA-2 was capable of engaging high-flying aircraft, offering a significant deterrent against potential incursions. Together, these systems enhanced the overall air defense posture of the Nordic countries, creating a layered defense against hostile aerial threats.
NATO has deployed an AWACS aircraft patrolling along the Norwegian-Swedish border, providing extended radar coverage for the operation. Additionally, a tanker aircraft is stationed on the Norwegian side to support the newly arrived F-16s, enabling extended operations in the area through aerial refueling.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Civilian air traffic is still active in some parts of eastern peninsula.
2 MISSION
Respond decisively to all Soviet intrusions along the Scandinavian border with overwhelming force to safeguard our territorial integrity and uphold regional security. Any unauthorized incursion into Scandinavian airspace will be met with immediate and resolute action, demonstrating our commitment to defend against aggression. Coordination between our air and ground units is essential, ensuring rapid response capabilities. Our objective is to maintain a robust defensive posture, deter further hostilities, and protect the sovereignty of Scandinavia against any potential threats.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
Conduct reconnaissance for ground forces along the border and intercept any Soviet aircraft attempting to cross into Scandinavian airspace. Ensure that all incursions are met with decisive action to maintain territorial integrity and air superiority.
3.3 Order of events
3.4 Rules of engagement
ROE: B
As per SPINS
Addition: Weapons free on Soviet forces breaching the border into Finland or Norway. Engage any incursions with appropriate force to defend our national sovereignty and regional stability.
RoE_B_Scandinavian_Forces_19820710

MUSTANG4 & ELVIS5: All unidentified aircraft within a 100 nautical mile radius of the carrier are classified as potential threats. Engaging protocols dictate that such contacts must be intercepted and, if they fail to disengage, neutralized to ensure the security of the carrier.

BANSHEE2:Soviet or Warsaw Pact aircraft approaching within 20 nautical miles of either NATO asset may be considered hostile if displaying aggressive maneuvers or locking onto NATO assets with radar. Engage only in self-defense or in direct defense of Magic1-1 and Texaco02.
Do not pursue or engage beyond NATO-defined operational boundaries unless the safety of Magic1-1 or Texaco02 is in imminent danger.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
The offensive is approximately two days behind schedule, but the overall picture is satisfactory with the USMC now controlling Homs and German/British forces in possession of the Aleppo region. The US Army secured Damascus two days ago and has subsequently sent scouting forces in the Palmyra direction, encountering surprisingly little resistance. The SyAF has also been quiet, as the road bases W and SW of Palmyra have been repeatedly targeted by air and TLAM strikes. The loss of their last SA-11 was also discouraging. Some activity remains in the far east, around Deir es Zor, where occasional MiG-21 and MiG-29 sorties have been flown in the past 24 hrs.
During the night, ELINT indicated increasing SAA activity near Palmyra. This coincided with worsening weather, making our intelligence gathering difficult, but in the early hours of the morning their intentions became clear: A large-scale counterattack, spearheaded by Republican Guard units with rotary wing assets in support. If successful, the Syrian counterattack may very well repel our forces from the Damascus area.
1.2 Area of operations
Southern and Eastern Syria
1.3 Time and weather

2 MISSION
Defeat the SAA counterattack between DAMASCUS and PALMYRA
Maintain air superiority over the AO
Destroy the remaining SyAF dispersed road base near Deir ez Zor.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
The SAA counterattack will be met head on by ground forces that are now pushing NE from Damascus, supported by Apaches.
Warthogs will seek out and strike reinforcements behind the front line, supported by Vipers for SEAD.
Hornets will strike rear logistics, disrupting the SAA supply line.
A deep strike, comprised of Strike Eagles with Hornets and/or Vipers in support, will target the last known road base in the eastern AO, thus eliminating the risk of SyAF interference.

Open Beta, WW2 Asset pack, Marianas, Spitfire, Mosquito, P-51, TF-51, P-47, Bf-109, Fw-190A8, Fw-190D9
Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established small bases on Guam and Rota. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Tinian and Saipan islands in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement has just started with raids from carrier based aircraft.
Situation:
Allied intelligeence informs us that the enemy have launched a large raid towards friendly fleet units from Tinian and Saipan. We continue to use this opportunity to get in a low level bomb raid with light bombers (A20). The target is located in the north part of Tinian. However, there are some enemy CAP units up, and their attack flights are starting to return from the northwest, so the bombers need escort. Take off heading west from Rota and join up with the bombers at 15,000 feet in grid NC.
Time and weather:
* June 1944
* 14:30
* Light clouds 9 000 ft
* Wind 290 / 07

Situation:
Dickie is on the wireless, screaming that an enemy carrier is severely damaged, and numerous enemy attack aircraft have diverted towards Saipan and Tinian. This is an opportunity we can’t afford to miss. Take off and intercept them—the enemy is low on fuel, and we could be looking at a “fish in a barrel” situation! The enemy is approaching Tinian and Saipan from the northwest.

A DCS Christmas Tale
2024-12-19 19:30 - 23:00 | Kola
A DCS Christmas Tale
Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the sky,
Santa’s factory was buzzing; the gifts piled high.
But oh, what disaster, what terrible fright
The Orcs were advancing to ruin the night!
The elf’s worked hard, their hands swift and neat,
But how could they load when the Orcs beat their feet?
So Santa called in the best of the best,
The DCS pilots to handle the rest.
To your cockpits, my heroes!” the jolly man roared,
Protect my sleigh factory, and guard my gift hoard!
Escort the convoy through mountains and snow,
To the airfield where the C-130 must go!”
The F-16s roared with their engines so bright,
Lighting the skies in a dazzling flight.
Apaches hovered with rockets to spare,
Their rotor blades slicing the cold winter air.
The A-10s rolled in, with their BRRRRT full of cheer,
These Orcs won’t ruin this most festive year!
Even Viggens and Mirages joined in the fray,
Christmas is ours, and we’re saving the day!
The convoy rolled out, with gifts piled high,
The Orcs tried their worst, but we heard their last cry.
For strafing and bombing and missiles galore,
Ensured that those baddies would bother no more.
At last, on the runway, the Hercules stood,
Its engines a-rumbling, as only they could.
The gifts were all loaded, the mission complete,
And Santa’s big sleigh took off with a leap.
So here’s to the pilots who answered the call,
Who saved Christmas cheer for children and all.
The skies now are quiet, the stars shining bright
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a safe flight!

T-90 main battle tanks to the battlefield. These beasts are the crown jewel of modern armored warfare – heavily armored, highly mobile, and packing enough firepower to level Santa’s entire workshop.
Armored troop carriers (ATC) capable of delivering squads deep into contested zones.
Anti-Air Assets:
It seems Krampus stumbled upon a surplus of old Toyota pickups. Like an evil car dealer on a mission, he’s slapped ZU-23 autocannons onto every single one of them. We’re talking about an entire fleet of rolling nightmares, ready to ruin your day.
Expect an overdose of rusty, modified “technicals” blasting lead into both the skies and the ground. They might look like something out of a junkyard rally, but don’t underestimate them – they’re fast, deadly, and about as frustrating as a reindeer refusing to pull the sleigh.
Artillery Threat:
Reports indicate incoming artillery units, likely self-propelled or towed, advancing with the eastern reinforcements.
These units are expected to target Santa’s workshop as soon as they enter effective range. Destruction of these artillery positions is critical to prevent damage to the workshop and disruption of operations.

2 MISSION
Your mission is to protect Santa’s workshop and ensure the safe delivery of presents to a waiting C-130 for takeoff. A convoy carrying the presents will be escorted through hostile terrain to the C-130, but the enemy will stop at nothing to sabotage the operation. Intelligence has revealed that the enemy is using a train loaded with explosives, which must be located and destroyed before it can threaten the convoy or Santa’s workshop.
Your forces must defend, attack, and neutralize any threats to ensure Christmas is saved. Coordination and precision are vital to achieving success in this high-stakes operation.

Package CANDY CANE (Lead: BLACKJACK31 )
Role: Protect the convoy transporting the presents from Santa’s workshop to the C-130.
Assets:
BLACKJACK3, HAWG8, RAGE9, NITRO5, CRIMSON3
Objective:
The convoy will travel along narrow, snowy forest roads to the designated LZ for the C-130. Your role is to clear the route of any hostile forces. Use your aircraft to patrol and provide a close escort to ensure the convoy is not ambushed. Be prepared to engage any enemy ground targets that attempt to disrupt the convoy’s path. Should the convoy be delayed or attacked, quickly neutralize the threats and provide reestablished cover. The convoy needs to be protected all the way to the C-130 for a safe and quick loading.
Package JINGLE BELL (Lead: RUDOLPH11)
Role: Conduct a counter-offensive against enemy forces threatening the convoy and Santa’s workshop.
Assets:
RUDOLPH1, ARCTIC1, INDY9, HITMAN3, TEXAS6
Objective:
Launch a counter-offensive to disrupt and destroy the reinforcements. Key objectives include:
* Preemptively striking enemy staging areas.
* Identifying and eliminating anti-aircraft defenses to clear the airspace.
* Neutralizing heavy ground units and artillery to prevent them from targeting the convoy.
The ultimate goal is to destroy the enemy advance, ensuring no surprises for the convoy. Coordinate closely with Package CANDY CANE to time strikes effectively and provide air cover as the convoy progresses. Precision and timing will be critical—delay could put the convoy at risk.
Package NORTH STAR (Lead: FROSTY21)
Role: ensures the railway is secured and operational by coordinating the destruction of enemy threats.
Assets:
FROSTY2, FENRIS6, GRIM7, BENDER2
Objective:
The mission objective has shifted to securing the critical railway line that supplies Santa’s workshop with essential materials. Without this lifeline, production at the workshop will grind to a halt, jeopardizing Christmas altogether.
Enemy forces have set up ambushes along multiple points of the railway, aiming to disable any trains attempting to bring in supplies. Your task is to neutralize these threats and ensure the railway remains operational.
FROSTY21 will lead reconnaissance efforts, identifying enemy positions and relaying target data to strike packages, including FA-18s and Viggens. Precision and speed are essential—every moment the railway is out of service puts Christmas at greater risk.
Let’s secure the tracks and keep the workshop running!

– Case 1 SHB and charlie-timing
Time to get your Charlie-time on!
When you’re calling Mother to arrive at the boat, you will (unless per-briefed) be assigned a Charlie-time. That is the time the first aircraft in your group should be in the groove towards the deck of the carrier. In this training session we will explore what rule of thumbs we can use to get a good accuracy on Charlie. We will break it down into:
– Time to do one holding lap around the boat in the stack
– Time from commencing to first trap
– Time from commencing to first trap using SHB
A general rule is that the commencing should happen about 8 minutes from touch down, given that you fly the standard pattern and do a half standard rate turn on turning for initial. That means that your flight should be positioned at the 9 o’clock position in the stack (with the boat being at 3 o’clock) at that time. But what is your personal time? Let’s find out!
The training will happen in single ships, each flight will join the stack and then start their timer once in the stack to time a lap of the circle. The circle in the stack is flown with a half standard rate turn. Once commencing, the next timer should be started. The first trap should be performed with hook UP, and time of touch down should be recorded.
The flight then egresses and joins the stack again for at least 1 circle in the stack, commencing and an optional SHB or regular trap, depending on personal preferences. The second pass should be timed just like the first, but with hook down to trap and recover as per normal procedures.
LSO will be available to assist with the timing.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
After intense battles, NATO and its Scandinavian allies have suffered heavy losses in northern Scandinavia. The brave defending forces were forced to retreat, and Finland has now completely fallen under Soviet control. Against an overwhelming Soviet force, backed by advanced weaponry and relentless determination, the front line has been pushed further west.
Despite severe threats of nuclear retaliation if the U.S. and other NATO nations intervene, NATO has decided to engage fully to halt the Soviet expansion. The unity and resolve of the alliance have only grown stronger, and now a formidable force is gathering to turn the tide.
Spain, France, and the United Kingdom have deployed their finest aircraft to the Nordic front—Mirage F1s and F-4E Phantoms are poised to meet the enemy in the skies. Additionally, ground forces are being reinforced to stabilize the defensive line and halt Leonid Brezhnev’s advance across Finland. This is a decisive moment, where the future of Europe hangs in the balance, and the free nations stand united against a common foe.
But this is not the end; it is a new beginning. We have lost battles, but not the war. Those who think we will surrender, that we will fall silent before overwhelming power, are mistaken. History has shown that free people never yield when darkness falls. We will fight back—in the air, on the ground, and at sea. We will strike with strength and determination, and we will push back against this aggressive advance.
We have lost ground, but we have not lost our will. We will stand firm, side by side, with our allies. We will fight for every meter, every city, every landmark that stands for our freedom. Let our enemies hear the roar of our aircraft, let them feel the strength of our resistance, and let them know that we will never, never give up.
It is in our darkest hours that we show our courage. This is our moment. We will prevail!
1.2 Area of operations
The terrain around Deanusaldi is rugged and challenging, characterized by a mix of steep hills, dense forests, and winding rivers. The region features a network of deep valleys and rocky outcrops, providing natural cover and obstacles. The area is heavily forested, with thick coniferous woods that offer concealment for both friendly and enemy units.
The river that passes through the area carves its way through narrow gorges and opens into broader, slower-moving sections. This river serves as a natural pathway, bordered by high ridges and cliffs that can act as potential ambush points. The terrain is uneven, making ground movement difficult, but it also provides opportunities for low-level helicopter flights to evade radar and avoid enemy detection.
Weather can be unpredictable, with frequent fog and low clouds that add to the challenge of navigation. This environment is both a tactical advantage and a risk, providing concealment for the rescue effort while also hiding potential threats.
1.3 Time and weather
* July 14 – 1982
* 23:00 local time
* SCT/BKN 13
* Wind 325 / 03
* FORCE QNH 29.13
1.4 Air threats
The presence of MiG-21s, MiG-23s, and MiG-29s poses a significant challenge to air superiority, while ground-attack platforms like the Su-25 and MiG-27K threaten critical installations. Additionally, reconnaissance aircraft such as the An-30M provide essential intelligence support, making it imperative for NATO and Scandinavian forces to remain vigilant and prepared for a range of potential engagements.
1.5 Ground threats
Soviet SAM systems and anti-aircraft artillery in 1982 pose a formidable ground threat to NATO and Scandinavian air operations. The SA-2, SA-3, SA-5, SA-6, SA-10, and SA-19 provide layered air defense capabilities, while the ZSU-23-4 Shilka enhances ground protection against low-altitude incursions. Additionally, Soviet Spetsnaz units, equipped with man-portable air defense systems (MANPADS) like the SA-7 (Strela-2), further complicate the threat environment by offering highly mobile and evasive options for ground forces. Together, these systems create a complex and dangerous environment for any air operations in the region, necessitating strategic planning and coordination among NATO and allied forces to mitigate the risks associated with these threats.
1.6 Naval threats
The recently launched Slava-class frigate has been spotted in a bay, likely positioned to provide air defense coverage for the area while keeping a low profile to evade NATO’s naval forces. The choice of location suggests a strategic effort to shield the ship from NATO’s reach while maintaining a defensive posture, potentially complicating any allied aerial or naval operations in the vicinity.
1.7 Friendly forces
The HAWK system provided medium-range surface-to-air missile capabilities, allowing for flexible deployment and effective engagement of high-altitude targets. Its advanced guidance system made it a reliable asset for protecting critical infrastructure and airspace.
NATO has deployed an AWACS aircraft patrolling along the Norwegian-Swedish border, providing extended radar coverage for the operation. Additionally, a tanker aircraft is stationed on the Norwegian side to support the newly arrived F-16s, enabling extended operations in the area through aerial refueling.

2 MISSION
In a daring operation, our primary objective is to rescue high-ranking NATO personnel stranded deep within enemy territory. The rapid Soviet advance has isolated them, and the mission requires a coordinated effort to bring them to safety. It has only been a few hours since we were forced to retreat, realizing that holding back the Soviet push into Finland was no longer possible. The withdrawal was so swift that key personnel were left behind, and now we must get them out.
To succeed, we must first cripple Soviet logistics by destroying key bridges that are crucial to their supply routes, buying us precious time and slowing their advance. Simultaneously, the threat posed by Soviet SAM sites must be neutralized. These defenses represent a significant danger to the rescue operation, and dismantling them will clear a path for both air and ground maneuvers.
While our aircraft work to establish air superiority, close air support will be essential in suppressing Soviet forces around the extraction zone. This suppression will allow the rescue team to operate with minimal interference. Ensuring air dominance is vital to protect the extraction helicopters and ensure that the mission proceeds without the constant threat of Soviet fighters.
Meanwhile, a large-scale air strike will be launched to the south as a diversion, aimed at drawing Soviet air defenses away from the actual rescue operation. This deception is designed to shift Soviet attention and resources, leading them to believe that the primary attack is happening far from the extraction zone. Fast-moving fighter jets and strike aircraft will conduct simulated attack runs and employ electronic countermeasures to confuse Soviet radar, hoping to thin their air coverage to the north.
This southern diversion will be intense, combining high-speed dashes with precision bombing to keep Soviet forces occupied and create the illusion of a significant offensive. With this distraction in place, we aim to give the rescue team a crucial window to operate with reduced threat from Soviet interceptors and surface-to-air missile systems.
Time is against us, but with precision strikes, air dominance, and relentless support, we will bring our people home. This mission is not just about a rescue—it’s about restoring hope after a chaotic retreat. We owe it to those left behind to ensure their safe return, and every effort will be made to see them back safely.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
3.2 Packages
The mission contains 1 package. All flights are part of package
3.3 Order of events
The success of this operation hinges on precise timing and coordination, and it’s crucial that all actions unfold in the correct sequence. With the ongoing efforts to secure air superiority, eliminate threats, and carry out diversionary strikes, everything must be executed with utmost efficiency.
As more information becomes available, the operation will be adjusted accordingly, but the key is to stick to the plan and ensure that each phase is executed in the right order to avoid complications or delays. The rescue of personnel, along with the suppression of Soviet forces, relies on the timing of every move—from the destruction of key infrastructure to the diversionary strikes and the final extraction.
Any changes or additional intelligence will be integrated into the operation as quickly as possible, but the overall success depends on maintaining tight coordination and following the established timeline.

1 SITUATION
1.1 Overview
The UN deadline for Saddam Hussein to withdraw his forces from Kuwait has come and gone. Operation Desert Shield is about to become Desert Storm. Allied commanders have set H-hour at 02.38 on January 17th. The opening blows will be dealt by AH-64 Apaches, who will destroy two key early warning radars in western Iraq, opening a corridor for the first wave of allied fighters and bombers.
1.2 Area of operations
Western Iraq, Jordan, Southern Syria, Israel
1.3 Time and weather
* January 17 – 1991
* 01:00 local time
* Broken / Overcast (8000′)
* Wind from 207 / 6 kts
* FORCE QNH 2977 / 1013
1.4 Air threats
MiG-21, MiG-25, MiG-29, Mirage F1
The Iraqi Air Force has over 400 fighter jets in its inventory. At least 60 of those are stationed at the H2 and H3 airfields.
1.5 Ground threats
SA-2, SA-6, Roland, MANPADS, ZSU-23
H3 airfields (H3 Northwest, H3 and H3 Southwest) are protected by a total of one SA-2, two SA-6 and three Rolands as well as numerous AAA.
EWR installations are protected by ZSU-23 and MANPADS.
1.6 Friendly forces
The entire UN coalition is taking part in this campaign. The specific mission only involves American assets but the air corridor opened on H-Hour will be used by other coalition aircraft.
1.7 Civilian/3rd part
Civilian air traffic is grounded
2 MISSION
Package NORMANDY will strike early warning radar installations CALIFORNIA and NEVADA near the Saudi border. Exploiting this gap in the Iraqi IADS, package BRAVO will hit Runways, SAM-sites and two C2 bunkers at H3 airfields (Strategic Operations Center at H3 Northwest and Intercept Operations Center at H3). Coalition fixed wing aircraft must NOT be detected crossing the border or the Iraqis may launch fighters. This will reqire a strict adherence to the Time On Target specified in your tasking.
3 EXECUTION
3.1 Commander’s intent
Permanently disable Iraqi air defenses in the west (2nd Air Defense Sector).
3.2 Packages
The mission contains two packages:
NORMANDY – AH-64 Apaches and CH-47 Chinooks
BRAVO – F/A-18 Hornets and F-16 Vipers
3.3 Order of events

Package BRAVO departs Ramat David and CVN-72 and heads for tankers orbiting HOLD-points 100 nm west of target area.
Package NORMANDY departs FARP in northwestern Saudi Arabia. CH-47s will use their brand new GPS guidance system to provide an exact entry for the Apaches, who will then take point at an IP 10 nm south of targets CALIFORNIA and NEVADA. Target layouts are unknown as they were recently moved. Previous targets have included one EWR, 1-2 Generators and 3-4 C2 vehicles. In addition, fuel and ammunition storage as well as crew accomodations. Defended by 3-4 ZSU-23 installations and possibly MANPADS.
NORMANDY has TOT 02.38 local time, at which point Operation Desert Storm will officially commence. At that exact time, package BRAVO will pass their IPs en route to targets around the H3 airfields. Primary targets are Command & Control bunkers, SAM-sites and runways. Aircraft on the ground are targets of opportunity.
Erroneus coordination (adherence to TOT and IPs) may result in Iraqi fighters being sortied. If overwhelmed, the Strike Package will retreat and allow Air Force F-15s to clear the airspace.

Background:
In a fictional campaign during WW2 allied forces have recently established small bases on Guam and Rota. A detachment of RAF and USAF fighters are tasked with supporting offensive operations towards Tinian and Saipan islands in the north. US and Japanese naval forces are maneuvering around the Mariana islands and a major naval engagement has just started with raids from carrier based aircraft.
Situation:
During the night and early morning US marine infantry and artillery units landed on Aguijan, the small island south of Tinian (grid FQ). Your job is to provide fighter cover over the island while they are digging in. The enemy was taken by surprise, but will surely react on this new threat with all available resources. It may be useful to bring light attack weapons in case the Japs will try to approach with small boats. The marines have setup a Bofors 40 mm battery on the south side of Aguijan.
