Assault on Norway

The Soviet Northern Fleet has sortied from its bases in 
the Kola Peninsula with the intention of clearing the 
Norwegian Sea of NATO warships, preparatory to a full-scale 
invasion of Norway.  Several Soviet SSNs are sweeping down 
the coast, supported by a strong surface battle group 
including Kiev- and Kirov-class vessels.  Land-based 
aircraft are also taking part in this operation.

The Soviet offensive has come as a complete surprise to 
NATO naval forces.  Only a small Norwegian standing force, 
supported by modest amounts of tactical air, will be able 
to contest the Soviets initially. A few NATO SSNs have 
been detailed to assist the Norwegian defense, while a 
Royal Navy flotilla has been assembled around the carrier 
Illustrious  and ordered north to block the Soviet 
movement.  Nimrod and Orion ASW aircraft based at Orland 
and Bodo are also available.

Blue Minimum Victory: Sink a Kirov and a Kiev.
Blue Total Victory: Sink a Kiev and 5 ships.

This scenario is intended to be played only from the NATO 
side.
