Gents,
I'm releasing a 'teaser' for my upcoming Red Storm Rising campaign. 'Polar Glory' is a P-3 scenario that takes place off Keflavik, Iceland.

Here's the mission description:
Keflavik had to get hit. Everybody knew it, prepared for it, and then tried not to think about it. This most isolated of all NATO outposts on the western coast of Iceland was the barred gate to the North Atlantic. If Ivan wanted to fight a naval war, Iceland had to be neutralized.
It had started six weeks before. The Soviet Naval and Long-Range Aviation groups based at a half-dozen airfields around Severomorsk had exercised almost continuously, flying attack-profile missions that could have been directed at nearly anyone or anything. Then two weeks before, the activity had been cut way back. That was the ominous part: first they drilled all their crews to perfection and then they went to a stand-down maintenance period to make sure every bird and every instrument was also fully operational.
Two hours ago, Keflavik had been warned of a large number of Soviet aircraft taking off from their tactical bases on the Kola Peninsula, destination unknown . . . . What were the Russians doing now? An attack against Bodo in Norway? Or Iceland maybe? Another exercise? There was no telling.
Penguin 8, a P-3C Orion antisubmarine warfare aircraft, is rolling now down runway three-six, with a mixed load of ASW and ASUW weapons. It had been on patrol only five hours before, and its flight crew is still trying to shake off the sleep as they rotate the propjet aircraft off the concrete . . .
Enjoy!
