The 58th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Bagel Station

This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".

"Soviet anti-carrier doctrine called for coordinated strikes by surface groups, submarines, and land-based Soviet naval aviation forces. Badgers and Backfires would launch their air-to-surface missiles at maximum standoff range -- 100 to 250 miles. Soviet surface ships, in sensor contact with the American task force, would provide terminal guidance and direct the missiles to their targets. These surface ships, along with missile-armed Soviet submarines, would simultaneously launch attacks of their own. Combined action would thus flood American air, missile, and gun defenses, even the vaunted Aegis system, and destroy the targets.

Unfortunately, in the Eastern Mediterranean combined action was impossible. The Soviet Defense Council had decided, at the recommendation of the Ministry of Defense, that the war would start at 0300 hours, central European time (0400 in the eastern Mediterranean)."
