Pacific Strike '85 - Updated and Rebalanced!

NOTE: As of 23 Dec, this campaign has been totally overhauled with balance changes and a complete rework of Mission 5!

---

PACIFIC STRIKE is a 10-part mission set for Sea Power depicting a fictional Chinese and Soviet attack into the western Pacific at the height of the Cold War in 1985. Command the USS Scott (DDG-995) and surface Task Group 77.3 in various operations during the opening offensive.




A Soviet commando raid on Okinawa is underway. Using a commandeered merchant ore carrier for cover, the commando force is within sight of the islands. A separate strike force of warships sortied from Ningbo yesterday afternoon. Proceed west from Kerama Retto and destroy the incoming enemy forces before they reach the island.


The Chinese have seized the initiative and launched an invasion of Taiwan. Sortie from Miyako-jima with your surface task group and prevent the invasion force from reaching Taipei.


Detached from Okinawa, TG 77.3 must head south to join the defense of Singapore. Run the Palawan Passage to reach Sandakan for resupply. Heavy submarine opposition is expected.


Singapore has fallen. Your depleted Task Group is attempting to escape the Java Sea after being nearly destroyed during the enemy offensive into Indonesia. Run the Sunda Strait and escape to open ocean to live to fight another day.


With Allied forces pushed back to Australia, enemy forces are moving south to threaten Darwin. The Kirov surface group was sighted by satellite reconnaissance in the Timor Sea. Make use of every Allied naval asset in theater to sink the Kirov and her escorts.



With enemy forces in Indonesia on the back foot after the sinking of Kirov, TG 77.3 has been tasked to raid the captured oil facilities at Balikpapan in the Makassar Strait. Proceed north to capture the offshore platforms in the Sepinggan field and then bombard the refining complex and storage facilities ashore. Enemy air and surface opposition is expected.


The Allied counterattack is underway. Conduct an anti-surface sweep north of Borneo and land a Marine Amphibious Unit at Sandakan to establish a foothold in the Allied drive towards the Philippines.


After the capture of Sandakan, the Slava SAG has been reported somewhere in the Sulu Sea. Intel assumes the SAG has orders to attack and destroy the Allied beachhead. Take command of the US submarines in the vicinity to locate and destroy the SAG.


The destruction of the Slava and her surface group have bought the Allies some time to consolidate their gains in Borneo. However, a second enemy strike is underway. Take charge of the meager Allied forces at Sandakan to repel an air and surface strike. Make use of captured enemy equipment if necessary.


Spies have reported the Soviet carrier Kiev is immobilized in Manila Bay with an engine casualty. Raid the harbor and sink her at her moorings. CINCPAC believe this operation could end the war if carried out successfully. Good luck.
