The "Soviet-Persian War" continues using the Gulf Strike rules.
The Soviets suffer setbacks but it is looking good for them overall.
Turn 11
On Land, An Iranian armor division is forced to evacuate Rasht but is destroyed by pursuing Soviet mechanized divisions. Rasht is captured.
At Sea, Soviet SSGN launches a brutal surface-to-surface missile strike on CVA-65 and almost sinks it. An undetected Soviet sub moves into the Persian Gulf. CVA-65, seemingly without concern for the submarine threat, steams into the Persian Gulf. The Soviet cruiser launches SSMs at the Enterprise but fails to sink it.
In the Air, Soviets deliver air bases and planes to the former Iranian airfield in both Rasht and Tehran. Iran counters with an interdiction strike. F-4s from the Mashad air base bomb the infrastructure in northeast Iran, cutting off a vital supply route to the Soviets in Tehran.
Both sides are dealing with supply issues. The US base in Konark is cut off by Soviet subs in the gulf. The USSR Afghanistan army is cut off by F-15 bombing attacks. Most of the Soviet ground units around Tehran take hits because they are out of supply due to the Iranian interdiction attack. The Soviets take enough damage to lose the initiative.
Turn 12
At Sea, A Los Angeles-class sub with help from an S-3 aircraft from the carrier find the Soviet SSN in the gulf and sink it. This clears the supply problems to Konark. The SSGN in the Arabian Sea fires on CVA-65 and misses.
In the Air, B-52s destroy another supply depot. Another flight of Tu-26 Backfire bombers heads toward CVA-65. Somehow the carrier-based E-2 doesn't detect the attack, the AWACS flying around the gulf doesn't detect the bombers, and the carrier fails to scramble fighters to intercept. USS Enterprise is hit and sunk.
On Land, A Special Ops raid on a Supply Depot in northern Iran continue to add to Soviet supply issues. Soviets make an attack on Qazyin and capture the city. Soviets are able to repair their supply lines.
The Soviets now control five cities; Tabriz, Rasht, Zanjan, Tehran, Qazyin. And for the first time in the game, there is no US aircraft carrier in the region.
