Operation TRIDENT - REDFOR

Approximately 30 minutes in duration (with time compression), medium difficulty.

SITUATION

Following an escalation by NATO, the USSR was forced to launch a pre-emptive strike in Scandinavia to safeguard soviet interests. Following the successful capture of south Sweden and Finland, the USSR plans to continue these gains without direct intervention with NATO. Intelligence has advised that a NATO Littoral Action Group (LAG) has sailed heading east, with the intention of landing forces outside of Gdansk under the cover of darkness to establish a beachhead.

MISSION

The Baltic Sea Fleet (BSF) is to DENY access to shore and DESTROY if found to be hostile.

EXECUTION

BSF is to sail from its home port at the rush, heading to Slupska Bank northwest of Gdansk to interdict the NATO taskforce.

ENEMY FORCES

We expect three landing ships with escorts of unknown type. Intelligence suggests a submarine ahead of the convoy; however, this cannot be confirmed.

FRIENDLY FORCES

BSF has air support from Chkalovsk air base with a range of aircraft. There is light to moderate shipping and civilian vessels and aircraft in the area.

LIMITATIONS

Warnings have been issued that all NATO aircraft that enter within 10nm of Soviet forces are liable to be engaged. ROE is weapons tight outside of this exclusion zone.

This is my first mission on the editor, so please do give feedback! If people enjoy this, I’ll make a series. As an avid naval fan, I plan to make realistic style missions based on actual fleet allocations, so they will always be tough!
