Northern Fury Part 2: Counterattack on Iceland
After one week at war, NATO forces start regaining their footing and many elements are adapting to a cohesive plan instead of conducting peacetime duties. After the furious carrier battles to hold Soviet forces from breaking out into the Atlantic air and sea lanes, it is now time for NATO to put planed contingencies into effect and start striking back.
This battleset includes fifteen scenarios where NATO is moving onto the offensive, endeavoring to whittle down the defences in Iceland and then launch a major amphibious operation to dislodge the Soviet from the island. These scenarios with a lot of Special Operations activity followed by heavily air focused strikes with alternating attacks from the US Air Force and US Navy as the defences slowly crumble leading to amphibious assaults, all taking place in the second week of the war.
