Orders for Cmdr NATO Forces


Situation

Three days ago, HMS Revenge was sunk by a Victor II SSN. NATO has planned retribution for this act and deployed submarines to the Barents Sea. Over the last few days the remaining Red Banner SSBNs have retired to their "Bastion" under the protective umbrella of air, surface and subsurface forces.

This mission is vital: it is hoped that threatening Soviet strategic weapon systems will compel Soviet commanders to increase their defence of the Bastion, drawing forces away from the front. Sinking these SSBNs will also reduce the Soviets' essential offensive nuclear strike capabilities.

It is NATO's intention to sink the remaining SSBNs in the "Bastion".
