Neutral No More: Defense of the Alps

[+Viggen 516]

1998: As support for Boris Yeltsin’s presidency dwindles, a radical communist uprising quickly gains power across Russia, and sits in the Kremlin by July. The new communist government quickly begins to lash out at the west claiming they’re responsible for the collapse of the Soviet Union. They vow to regain what was lost and more.

 

1999: As Russian tanks begin to steamroll into Central Europe following a series of Spetznaz infiltrations and surprise air attacks, crippling pre-positioned defenses and early warning systems across Europe, a Guards Regiment of Russian tanks accidentally crosses into Swiss territory. With new orders directly from the Kremlin to press on into Switzerland, the tiny neutral country scrambles to defend itself.

 

Hey it’s hard to think of a scenario to involve the Swiss in! But denissoliveira’s Swiss Mirages are crying for a campaign.

 

I’ve got America Northwest standing in for a pseudo-Switzerland. Going to start the process of renaming targets and target locations. May add a few more if I’m up to it. Only issue I can think of is the ground war is going to look messed up with tanks on those mountains.

 

Anyway, here’s the plane list:

Swiss:

F/A-18C/D

F-5E/F (Sharknose and regular? Need F-5 expert’s advice)

Mirage IIIS/RS

Hawk Mk.66

 

Russia

Su-27

MiG-29

Su-25

MiG-27

Su-24M

Su-24MR

 

And yes, I'm actually going to finish this one! Depending on the success of this one I may do a 1989 one to include the Hunters and Vampires (yikes!)

why not use Deuces Euro Terrain "stock desert map repaint" no mountain issues there

For sure the Hawk Mk66 had the capability to use the Aden pod. And maybe they carried a couple of sidewinders.

Because that'd still have a coastline wouldn't it? Plus the mountains are important to the Swiss defense and it's fun to dogfight in.
