The Battlefield is the Straight of Hormuz. The Axis have to transit the Straights of Hormuz to secure their Oil Supplies (stop laughing) or something and have a powerful flotilla of warships through the Straights to get to that succulent oil.
HOWEVER the Iranian Revolutionary Guards Naval and Aerial Assets have been mobilized to stop them at any cost! For reasons they cannot use shore based weapons like Silkworms or whatever, they can only use their fleet of ships and planes to intercept the Axis Flotilla and stop them from getting all of that juicy Middle Eastern Oil. Likewise the Axis can't proactively attack the Iranians in Port for the same bullshit reasons. They have to wait for them to leave port and enter open water. Just the way it is...
Axis Fleet:
German Contingent
Gneisenau
Scharnhorst
Tirpitz
Bismarck
Japanese Contingent
Yamato
Musashi
Yamashiro
Fuso
Italian Contingent
Littorio
Vittorio Veneto
Roma
Impero
IRGC Fleet and Air Force:
55 Missile Boats Peykaap III Class (armed with two single Kowsar antiship missile launchers and two heavy machine guns)
35 Fast Patrol Boats Kashdom Class (armed with a multiple rocket launcher system, a 23mm automatic cannon and a heavy machine gun)
20 Patrol Boats Ghaem Class (armed with one 23mm automatic cannon and two medium machine guns)
15 Torpedo Boats Peykaap I Class (armed with two 324mm Torpedo Tube Launchers and a heavy machine gun)
3000 Boghammers style Patrol Boats (sub ten ton speedboats equipped with two heavy machine guns, a 106mm recoilless rifle and some guy with an RPG-7 and a five hundred pound explosive charge in the bow for old fashioned suicide ramming)
67 IAIO Toufan Attack Helicopters (equipped with a 20mm Autocannon and two 19 tube 70mm rocket pods)
The Axis Forces are on alert despite the mandated ROE's as they transit through the Straights of Hormuz. Once they reach Kuwaiti/Iraqi Waters they'll be safe.
What happens?
