First Scenario :- Gunboat Diplomacy
At one stage in the Borneo Confrontation, there was a force of some sixteen ships operating in and around the waters of Borneo, most of them coming from the 6th Minesweeping Squadron, who's tasks were to hunt,stop, and search small boat traffic . One incident, out of the normal humdrum patrolling , ocurred in 1965 when three minesweepers intercepted and caught three armed sampans, all of whom had been trying to get into southeast Johore, and during the fire fight eight Indonesian soldiers were killed and 19 captured . This scen covers the engagement with added units for both sides .
Second Scenario :- First Strike
Following an failed attempted Coup in Indonesia by anti-communist forces , the Communist Government Put all blame onto the United Kingdom ,over the years communist forces had infiltrated into Malaysia and Borneo conducting terrorist attacks on the infastructure of these countries .The UK and Australian and New Zealand forces had been hard pushed to stop these incursions, but had played no part in the failed coup.Indonesia has threatened to attack any British Flagged ships in its area,but at the present time Hostilities havn't broken out.The RMS Queen Mary onroute from Hong Kong to Singapore is a prime target and has been give escort to Singapore !
Third Scenario :- The Empire Strikes Back
After the outrageous attack on the RMS Queen Mary and her escorts in the South China Sea which resulted in heavy loss of life on all the Ships involved in the engagement , UK and ANZAC Forces are now planning a response .... the problem is most of the UK Far East Fleet were deployed for the Annual Exercise with Australian and New Zealand Forces off North Western coast of Australia . Singapores remaining forces have taken a "battering over the last few days and are unable to mount a response . During the Annual Exercise the RAF had deployed most of their bomber assets to RAAF airbases on the western coast,these forces include Vulcan, Canberra bombers and Recon aircraft , these are supported by Australian Canberra's,Sabre's and Mirage fighter bomber aircraft. The Naval Forces in the area are HMS Ark Royal and HMAS Melbourne Task Groups.
In all it looks like the Indonesian Forces are in for a surprise of there own!.
