Orders for Cmdr NATO Forces

Situation

An attack on Norway is imminent. Two Soviet amphibious groups believed to be carrying the Northern Fleet's Naval Infantry Brigade and a complete Soviet mechanized division are heading toward the Norwegian coast.

In addition, Soviet missile boat groups are reported to be heading into your patrol area. The submarine threat is unknown. No hostile air units are expected in the patrol area.



Enemy Forces

1. At least a dozen Soviet Osa I and Osa II missile boats are believed to be operating in the area, armed with SS-N-2 Styx missiles.

2. Amphibious units with heavy escort are heading towards Banak.

Mission

1. Seek out and destroy the amphibious units before they reach Banak. The amphibious units are your highest priority targets.

2. Destroy the enemy missile boats.

3. This is a prelude to an invasion, so make your missile shots count.


Execution

Engage all Soviet units encountered. Torpedoes are largely ineffective against small boats, so you may have to rely on missiles and guns to counter smaller enemy warships.

Several neutral fishing boats may be in the area so be careful on target identification.
