OPERATION BIG BASH (DB2000 rebuilt)
By Ragnar Emsoy
RUSSIA VS UNITED STATES
LOCATION : SEA OF JAPAN
DATE/TIME: 31 DECEMBER 1994, 10:00:00 ZULU
As the most radical proponents of military totalitarian Russian expansionism gain more political power, Russia's borders with European and Asian countries become areas of vastly increased tension. In response, the US has undertaken to eliminate all Russian naval capabilites from the Pacific Ocean. In line with these objectives, Operation Big Bash has been devised to destroy the strategically significant Russian naval and air facilities at Vladivostok. US naval units have soundly defeated the Russian forces in the Sea of Okhotsk.
Now the US forces are closing on Vladivostok. The Tiger is awakened, and the Bear is angered. The battle is afoot!

RED FLAG 2004
by Klaus J. Behrmann
LOCATION: US WEST COAST
DATE/TIME: 15 JULY 2004, 01:00 H Z
For the first time, the JCS are implementing a new training/exercise concept on the West Coast.
A US CVBG/ARG has to attack two well-equipped and technically sophisticated neighboring enemies. It is assumed that most surface units have already been decimated and that only a few submarines still pose a threat, but there might be a possible scenario change which the CVBG commander will know about only in the last minute.
Australian, British and Japanese units participate as Red and Green units for a last ditch defence of their homelands.

THE ODD ANGRY SHOT
by Paul Bridge
Date - 04 November 1964
Location - Yemen
Duration - 18 Hours
Sides - United Kingdom
During the 1950s and 60s the UK Forces were engaged in a not so small conflict in Yemen.
In 1962 a coup in Northern Yemen organised by the Egyptians overthrew the Iman al-Badr in the Capital Sanaa, at the same time Egypt landed forces into the North of the country.
The loyalist forces, backed by the UK, fought back the incursions into South Yemen, but at no time did UK and Egyptian forces go head to head; apart from the "odd shot" at each other nothing happened.
Things came to a head when Egypt had at least 40,000 troops in country and over 100 aircraft based in Northern Yemen; these aircraft conducted strike missions on villages in S. Yemen in support of the N. Yemen forces.
In late 1964 the UK had recieved some shocking news... Egypt wanted to become more involved .... and strike UK Assets in S. Yemen. Oil Instalations were going to be the prime target, and the UK Forces were on high alert!
