name: Syria - Invasion of the Canary Islands
theater: Syria
authors: NoGoodNews
description:
Fictional Campaign where Morocco is attacking Spain through Ceuta, Melilla and Canary Islands in the late 90s and early 2000s.
Using DCS' Syria map as the terrain, it results in a close representation of the terrain around Morocco and
south of Spain, mainly due to the similar distances between Canary Islands (Cyprus) and Morocco Mainland (Syria, Lebanon).
Morocco Armed Forces have landed in Tenerife (Akrotiri) and are trying to extend towards Tenerife Norte (Larnaca),
Gando (Paphos) and eventually to Gran Canaria Norte (FOB).
To put more pressure and distress onto the Spanish Government, they have also started attacks to take over the
cities of Ceuta (FOB in Iskenderun) and Melilla (Bassel Al-Assad).
You must support ground troops while reinforcements arrive to Canarias, as there are no armament production
centers there. Ships will be sent from Rota Naval Base (Mersin) and Moron Naval and Air Base (Gazipasa).
Morocco will also try to support their expeditionary forces by sending reinforcements by sea.
Prioritize naval targets!
L-61 "Juan Carlos I" naval assault group has also been sent to the zone to support operations. F-18 Hornets from
Torrejon (Incirlik), Albacete and Gando will be your main assets. Additionally you can also use Mirage F-1s,
F-5s or Harriers from the "Juan Carlos I".
Very complex IADS network on each side.
Recommended mods/plugins to use:
- Spain Naval Assets Pack (it's a must)
- Frenchpack
- High Digit SAMs
- UH-60L Black Hawk
- Skynet IADS and CTLD are also highly recommended.
