The Saudi Revolution

LOCATION: MIDDLE EAST
DATE/TIME: 14 MAY 2005, 18:00 H Z
Saudi fundamendalists (supported by Iranian subversives) managed to force the Saudi King into exile and gained the support of the Saudi forces. This development was again supported by an aggressive stand from Iraq (after the embargo was lifted two years ago).
Suddenly, it became apparent that these three nations intend to pursue joint plans to eradicate the Israeli nation from the map.
U.S. and Britsh forces in the region form task groups to stop such a move and their first priority is to destroy or to disable all the equipment delivered by the West (and the East in the case of re-armed Iraq and Iran) on the ground and in the air.
THIS SCENARIO SHOULD BE PLAYED WITH THE NUCLEAR OPTION ENABLED.

Orders for Commander U.S. operations:
GENERAL
The fundamentalist revolution in Saudi Arabia has gained - unexpectedly - the full support of the Saudi military and National Guard. It is confirmed that Iranian and Iraqi activists are in the kingdom and spearheading the moves of the new Revolutionary Council.
INTELLIGENCE
Operation RE-TAKE - the destruction of US- and UK-supplied facilities, aircraft, and naval assets - has been compromised. The latest satellite pass confirms that Saudi forces are on full alert and that the Saudi fleet has left their home ports of Jeddah and Dammam.
DIA believes that both Iran and Iraq might intervene in the forthcoming conflict once our combined U.S./U.K. attack on Saudi Arabia is launched.
A small Iranian SAG left Bushehr three hours ago. All other Iranian naval assets are - except their three Kilos - in port. The Kilos left Chah Bahr six days ago and are believed to be operating within the Arabian Gulf.
Two days ago, Iran returned two bomber squadrons to Iraq; including Fencers, Badgers, and Blinders.
Only the Iraqi bases in Baghdad and Umm Qasr are operational. Iran operates fighter squadrons from Chah Bahr, Bandar Abbas, and Tehran.
Furthermore, we have reliable information from sources loyal to the USA that an attack on our facilities on Bahrain is imminent.
ORDERS
Your first priority is the protection of the SAG in Bahraini waters and our facilities at Sheikh Isa AB. The same priority level has been given to the protection of the British PHIBRON heading for the Strait of Hormuz as the anti-air capability of our British allies is limited at best.
British forces will launch independent strikes at enemy facilities and it might be prudent to provide additional protection for their strike aircraft.
Once air superiority has been established, destroy the Saudi C3I facilities and disable the Saudi Air Force. It is crucial that the Saudi AWACS planes are eliminated. Destroy as many Saudi fighters and fighter-bombers as possible.
In the event of Iranian or Iraqi intervention, launch strikes on Tehran and Baghdad and destroy the command facilities. At the same time, if feasible, destroy the Iranian and Iraqi ministries of defence to teach the radicals a lesson that the USA can hit them anywhere. Bear in mind, however, that Baghdad must be considered well protected and that any air strike should be well planned and executed in conjunction with cruise missile attacks.
The Saudi base at Khamis Mushayt is another high priority target.
In case of Iranian intervention, land the SEALS near Chah Bahr and destroy the naval facilities at this base.
Ensure that the opposition forces do not attack commercial shipping.
Syrian, Lebanese, Jordanian, Israeli, Emirati, Ethiopian, Yemeni, Sudanese, and Qatari air space is neutral.
EXECUTION
At your discretion. However, it is essential that all fighters based in Sheikh Isa AB be launched immediately for the protection of the facilities and the nearby SAG. These fighters should be re-inforced immediately by detachments from the CVBG operating in the Arabian Sea and our temporary base in Masirah.
FURTHERMORE, NOTE THAT ALL AMERICAN PLANES WHICH LAND REFUELING IN CAIRO CAN ONLY BE REPLENISHED IN INCIRLIK.
Once you are out of the Red Sea, combine the Stragglers, Main Force and Advance Group into a professional Task Force.
