Our NATO nuclear boat (SSN) will be assigned to this crucial scenario, and it will be (entirely) up to us that the war be won or lost. NATO needs massive amounts of material and personnel ferried across from America, so Russia needs that route cut, and the Norwegian Sea is Russia's path to the Atlantic Ocean. Although it's a submarine simulator, it's set in World War III just like the book: after a prelude of political intrigue, Russia declared war and is rolling west in full might. The novel was set in a number of scenarios with a number of main characters, but this game focuses on the part of the book about underwater warfare. Red Storm Rising was the name of one of Tom Clancy's most famous best sellers, taken for the codename of Russia's military plan for an armoured assault on Western Europe. Part submarine simulator, part dynamic campaign, and part WW3 simulation, Red Storm Rising is an amazing look at modern warfare. You must hold the ocean against the Soviet navy at all costs, or the land battle will go badly. You are in command of one of the US attack submarines. And the only way NATO can prevent that from happening is to reinforce their forces with convoys from the US and other countries. which means they must invade Europe and fight NATO to a standstill. The Soviet Union, under severe pressure after destruction of one of their biggest oil refineries, must secure a new source of oil, and to do that, they must disable the West.
