Northern Fury 1: H Hour, 1994

Northern Fury 1: H Hour!
This is the first scenario of a 58 scenario campaign. See the Northern Fury background document for further insight on the background and happenings so far. The key nuggets
· Cold War continued, no thaw in relations. Germany still divided, WP still alive and doing very well.
· Yesterday, 12 Feb 1994, the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer, opened with ominous indications of trouble brewing. Soviet and Eastern Bloc countries were represented at the opening ceremonies but many of their athletes were not present at the start of the actual events this morning. The Russian Olympic village was empty and initial investigation found that many of the athletes had simply disappeared, while only a few had flown home. Norway ordered the IOC to cancel the games and evacuate the Olympic Village.
· Norway has called up its reserves, deployed forces to forward bases and has requested support from NATO. The request for support was submitted to the North Atlantic Council (NAC) 4 hours ago.
· It is now early afternoon on 13 Feb 1994.
You are the commander all forces in Northern Norway. Allied Forces North Norway (AFNN) HQ is in Bodo Norway, this is a 'dual hat' organization which maintains National Command of Norwegian forces North of Orland and reports to Allied Forces North (AFNORTH).
Over the past 6 hours you have deployed 2nd Battalion of Brigade Nord, forward to garrison Banak, Kirkenes and other airports in Finmark province in order to facilitate a limited evacuation of the civilian population. Naval and Air forces have also staged forward and have gone to a high readiness posture.

The NATO AWACS flight normally allocated to AFNN has been deployed for the past two weeks in preparation for the Olympics and is ready to support operations in all respects.
It is a cold day off the North Cape, it is unlikely to stay that way!

Designer’s notes:
This is a complex scenario so to assist the player – and to replicate routine operations; there are some missions already in play. The player can chose to use these or delete them as s/he wishes.
You should turn 'special messages' ON, there is quite a bit of information fed to you during the scenario, and you will want to see it. Later in the scenario updates will give you a better idea on what is going on around the world and will give you an idea where subsiquent scenarios will lead.
Please respect the initial ready times for aircraft. There are many aircraft with a long ready time, this is to replicate the staging of aircraft to forward bases and general maintenance.
Points are allotted for destruction of air and sea forces. No points are lost for destruction of land installations, the penalty is losing their capability.
The 'No Fly Zone' around the northern border with Sweden has been modified to prevent A/C being trapped along the border area. Also one Norwegian radar (S-600 Gapfiller) has been moved so it sits outside the modified zone.
