   As a revival of the old computer game Jane´s Fleet Command, I give you: 
     Fleet Command: The Role Playing Game   
  For one time only, I will give you the chance to control a US Navy Carrier Battle Group, as it completes the difficult tasks given to it by the US President:
  
  The Situation:
  
  Our timelines differ somewhere in the early '90s. With the collapse of the Ruble, the Russian economy melted and chaos closed in. The democratically elected government, paralysed by a communist-dominated Duma, crumbled. The Military stepped in, and assumed power. The US, beliving the coup was a smokescreen for soviet expansionism, refused to give and aid. As the West looked on in terror, the conservatives of Russia started a swift and ambitious rearmnament program.
  
  Encouraged by China, Russia started to rattling its saber in the direction of Japan. The two nations had always had the Kuril Islands to squabble over, but now Russia moved more and more forces to Siberia.
  
  Meanwhile, China, enraged by border violations by Burmese troops, swiftly invaded Burma and occupied Rangoon. They then started "military excercises" closer and closer to Taiwan.
  
  India, a growing superpower, took the chance to intervene in the Sri Lankan conflict. With threats of invasion looming, the US President took an unpresidented desicion. While large portions of the fleet was tied up elsewhere, the  Nimitz -class aircraft carrier  Theodore Roosevelt  and it´s battle group would from the Indian Ocean, onward through the straights of Malacca and up to the Kuril Islands. Surely this show of force would deter any agression from India, China and Russia?

  Planes and Helos:
  
  Note that the game sadly does not allow you to change the loadout of the planes. That means that the F-14 and the F/A-18 are just loaded for air-to air combat.
  
  Looking for:
  
  
  
  I will be using the Fleet Command game and give you overviews by screenshots. By role-playing your characters, you will give cammand that I will then execute in the game and show you what happened in screenshots and narration. Are you ready and capable to take to the seas and try you fortune?
