Description
SUEZ CRISIS 2022

This scenario is meant to be played immediately after "Last Stand"

Egypt knew their long-hated rivals would stop at nothing to collect the debt owed after decades of animosity, hostility and covert and overt military action. No longer under the protection of the Red Bear, the Egyptian leadership found themselves seemingly out of options and decided to risk it all with all the offensive firepower they could muster. The result was not good. In fact, it was nothing short of catastrophic; hundreds of aircraft and men were lost, and virtually their entire navy destroyed. To make matters worse, utilizing WMD's turned out to be a grave miscalculation; not one nuclear warhead had gotten through Israel's defenses, and the Egyptians had several airfields and a pair of ports destroyed by nuclear fire. The coalition fleet had taken casualties but was still combat-capable and heading toward their coast. The Israeli air force had been bloodied, but most of their losses were from reserve and older-modeled aircraft; most of the high-end F-15's, F-16's and, most importantly, F-35's were still operational. With Israeli mechanized and armored formations on the way to Said, Egypt was staring at defeat, and possibly complete annihilation.
Egypt's core air defense system remained largely intact, with several operational S-300 batteries at the ready. In an act of desperation, the Egyptians have begun targeting Israeli cities to try and deal as much damage as possible to their long-standing enemy before their annihilation. The race was on to finish off the Egyptians, and both the Israelis and European forces need to do so as quickly and with as few casualties as possible, to ensure more assets available for the real fight against the Soviets...

Time will be your enemy more than the Egyptians will in this scenario. Penetrate their heavy AA network to find and destroy their nuclear and conventional rocket batteries before their next alfa strike. Push your naval forces through to Port Said to finish the job!

In my mind, it was quite enjoyable. Jericho’s are super effective when it comes to dealing with S-300’s.

The main problem was the amount of Egyptian fighters, which was hard to deal with without a lot of dedicated A/A loadouts on start. However, it wasn't an obstacle impossible to overcome.

Another great scenario

See what other feedback is first. Its probably a scenario that can be easily won once you know what to do at the outset.

First off, I'd like to say that sometimes when I make a scenario that I feel is going to be really tough you guys tend to finish it without any issue. And sometimes when I make a scenario that I think isnt too bad, it turns out to be a bloodbath :steamfacepalm:

I think my major advantage here is knowing where the S-300 sites are. My strategy was to identify them with one of the Joint Stars and baiting them into firing to confirm their radar emissions, then send 2-3 Jericho's their way. After that it's a matter of grinding down the Egyptian air force and hitting the beach and other two attack points repeatedly until a landing is possible

I think there is a couple of issues on this one that make it extremely difficult. I'd be interested to see what others think.

In effect you don't have long, I think 4 hours which is probably not enough. Your main task groups are close in, and close enough that they will be targeted at the outset with SSM and SAM. I tended to find as my aircraft took off they were being shot down.

I don't think you can get a winning score from the first play through unless I am missing something? The biggest issue is simply that you are well within a serious AD and many of your aircraft are obsolete.

I'd be tempted to see what others found, possibly moving the surface fleets back a bit would help?
