Quick links. If you haven't yet played out all of the scenarios in these battlesets, be aware that the AAR's may contain spoilers. These AAR's try to follow a storyline of sorts, drawing upon scenarios taken from each of the above battlesets to create an account of what might have happened had the Cold War gone hot.
There is a race between NATO combatants to shepherd the scattered merchantmen to port, and Soviet submarines to sink as many of these merchantmen as possible. Hours later, the tanker Anco Challenger was sunk by the same Akula, this time some 50 nm east of Rockall.
These losses in the opening days of the war were sufficient to let NATO know it was going to be a tough slog. The Okean AGI Ekholot later spotted the container ship Sea-Land Economy, north of Rockall, and made a contact report, but soon thereafter she reported coming under attack by Harpoon missiles and contact was lost. It was a brutal start to war in the Atlantic.
US ports, bases and airfields are also vulnerable to attack from these units. For the Soviets, it was important that NATO shipping be put at risk along the entire transit route, from pier to pier, not just at sea.
What Happened The Okean spy trawler Reduktor was caught only 70 nm east of Boston when war broke out. Several Soviet merchantmen, caught by fate and politics off the coast of America when war broke out, were quickly singled out for capture or destruction because of the likelihood of their passing information about Western shipping movements along to Moscow.
