                      DEFCON ONE - GIUKBB01

                          By JIVA SYSOP


            SIX MONTH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION SCENARIO



    It was a grand sight to see.  The brilliant sunrise was 
coming up over Breidhifjordhur bay.  It's crimson red glow 
shining off the slick ships making up the amphibious task force 
for operation NAUMACHY.  Admiral Gary "Bandog" Levine's eyes 
glowed along with the scene before him from the bridge of the 
Iowa.  The rising sun coated everything with a tint of red and 
orange.  He felt awed by the mix of the old battlewagon from 
WWII with the modern Tico's filling the bay for a practice 
invasion of Iceland.

    Admiral Levine's trance was broken by the loud ringing alarm 
sounding General Quarters declaring "this is not a drill," and 
by the flurry of activity on the bridge.  The OD LT. Tom 
Konzical rushed over and handed him a dispatch.  Levine grabbed 
the paper from the shaking Lieutenants hand and saw fear in his 
eyes.  He understood why as he read the lines before him.  
Defcon One was declared after the Warsaw Pact forces attacked 
all along the front from the Med to Norway in a surprise attack.  
The admiral gave the orders for the fleet to prepare to get 
underway, and for all the ships Captains to report for a 
situation meeting.

    The room was noisy and crowded with all the ships captains 
and their assistants trying to figure out what was happening;  
when the "Bandog" entered the room it became eerily quiet.  
"Gentleman" he announced, "We have received our orders from 
NATO.  It seems that the Russians have decided to make all of 
Europe a Marxist state.  To insure a breakout into the Atlantic 
they have started to build their own airfield on a Norwegian 
Island about 30 miles west of Tromos.  They have landed a large 
contingent of engineers to build around the clock..  A large 
airfield that will handle any plane in their inventory.  It 
grows larger day by day.. and as it grows.. more planes are 
landing.  Our orders are to prevent the ruskies from breaking 
out into the Atlantic by confronting any air power projected 
from the new airfield; and sinking any naval units found in the 
Norwegian Sea. Also the amphib task force will land at Tromso 
and advance on the airfield and take it out!!!".  "Now I will 
hand you over to Commander Gary "Bucephalus" Miller who will 
fill in the details."


    Admiral Levine stepped down and rushed out leaving a vacuum 
of silence and anticipation.  The void was quickly filled by the 
tall and smart looking commander Gary Miller.  "Listen up gents 
this is the order of our battle.  Captain Mark "Roinous" Estes 
you are to take your Roosevelt and go on station east of Jan 
Mayen at 71 deg 5 min North/5 deg 8 min west.  From here you 
will provide air cover over the Norwegian Sea and take out 
anything in the air and on the water that comes within your 
range.  The Mississippi - Leyte Gulf - Dale - Coontz are to 
escort you and remain on station as support.  Proceed at flank 
speed. . .  Captain Ira Gluck and his AOR Milwaukee is to follow  
behind the Roosevelt and catch up with it; then remain on 
station to supply the operations.. The Biddle - Wainwright - 
Hyler are to escort the Milwaukee.  Captain Gluck will be 
traveling at slower speed than the Roosevelt so will meet it on 
station.  The Admiral's Iowa and the rest of the amphib fleet 
with it's escorts are to proceed to Vagar and remain there for 
12 hours to pick up additional troops and munitions for the 
landing at Tromso.  After gearing up at Vagar they will go to 
Tromso and land all ground forces and provide support for the 
taking of the airfield.... Last but not least the LA sub Croton 
will proceed directly towards Tromso and take out any naval 
units protecting the approach to the airfield."


   Well Harpooner's now you have your orders.  If you follow 
them to the letter and destroy everything that gets in your way. 
You will achieve Total Victory conditions.  This scenario is 
made to be played from the NATO side only.  It is a large 
scenario and will most likely run a little slow when you have 
many aircraft up in the air.  It is large enough that it will 
take an extra 90 seconds or so to warm up, and get going after 
the Groups have shown up on the maps at the beginning. Also set 
your options to avoid the ships running aground at the beginning 
to accommodate the fleet in the bay until you have split them 
into the appropriate groups as per orders.

    This scenario was made for the six month anniversary of the 
Scenario Warehouse BBS and is a production of the BBS.  It is 
dedicated to all those whom have helped the BBS during the last 
six months with a special dedication to Gary Miller and Gary Levine
who has staunchly defended the Scenario Warehouse against incoming 
missiles.  Well Gary it is time to show us your stuff.  Can you 
gain total victory conditions?





Notes HSWBBS:


!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


  Attention all Harpoon Scenario Warehouse BBS members.  You are urged to 
Join the Harpoon User's Group HUG.  The HSWBBS has merged with the HUG and 
is the official BBS.  HUG has already published it's first issue of the 
C3I. The newsletter of HUG filled with information on Harpoon and military 
subjects of interest to all Harpooners.  Upcoming issues will include 
articles by Larry Bond and Tim Jacobs.  HUG and HSWBBS are working on a 
project to open regional HSWBBS's around the country and overseas 
according to the concentration of HUG members.  So it is in everybody's 
best interest to join HUG.   Read the HUGINF.TXT file included in this
scenario compressed file.

    This user edited scenario originated from the Scenario Warehouse BBS
HSWBBS; operating it's terminal at 718-746-7466 in ANSI emulation 
(2400/1200/300  N-8-1) using A WWIV TERMINAL VERSION 4.12  Sometimes
you may find Procomm Plus terminal up when sysop is conducting other 
business.  However this terminal also accesses the directory with the
HARPOON SCENARIO WAREHOUSE files.

    On July 16, 1990 the Harpoon Scenario Warehouse BBS started where
a central point could be maintained for the uploading and downloading 
of the Harpoon Game edited scenarios.  As interest and usage of the BBS
grew.  The BBS improved it's service and terminal to a full fledge BBS
on October 2, 1990.  We then became the official BBS of the Harpoon User's
Group - HUG.  The BBS will continue to work on improving the terminal and 
services as long as interest continues for Harpoon scenarios.  The future
will bring regional HSWBBS's around the country depending on the
concentration of HUG members.  The true test of success will be the users
and plenty of uploads of scenarios made by members with the Scenario
Editor. 

     The Scenario Warehouse is connected to the WWIV Network which allows 
it's members to send E-mail to each other via a local WWIV BBS in the
Network; our node number is @7851.  We also host the "HARPOONER'S SCENARIO 
WHAREHOUSE" Bulletin Board sub.  This is the place where all Harpooner's 
can exchange ideas and tactics.

  Ask your local WWIV BBS which is in the Network to subscribe to it. 
Tell the SYSOP to contact JIVA at 1@7851 on the Net.  This way you will 
be able to post messages and read up on whats happening just by a local
call.  For more info contact JIVA the SYSOP at the Warehouse.

  These WWIV BBS's already subscribe to the "Harpooner's Scenario 
Warehouse" sub/bullettin board: 

Free Quarks               @9953  SYSOP -               919-848-2315

    Feel free to call at anytime to share ideas and find
information to help you in playing a better game. 

  The Scenario Warehouse urges you to give feedback to the author of any
scenario you play; whether it is positive or negative, by using the BBS
E-Mail (also through the WWIVnet).  This will help the person to improve
his/her scenario creation and to make any changes which need to be made.
  
	When you connect to the BBS and you are a first time user type in 
"NEW" and follow the prompts for initialization as a member.  Veterans of 
the original Pro-Comm Plus terminal also will have to initialize onto 
the new WWIV terminal.


    Correspondence can be mailed to 19-21 Clintonville 
ST., Whitestone, New York 11357

    To save callers time on line; the following files 
have been made:

  
    GIUKTEXT.ZIP/ARC - File containing all text files 
for scenarios to be played under the GIUK battleset.

    NACVTEXT.ZIP/ARC - File containing all text files 
for scenarios to be played under the NACV battleset.

    HARPBB.ZIP/ARC - File containing information regarding 
the Harpoon Edited Scenario BBS.

    BBGUIDE.ZIP/ARC - file containing the WWIV terminal 
manual explaining the commands and menus used.

    BBNET.ZIP/ARC - file containing information on how the WWIV
network works and how to use it.

    MEDCTEXT.ZIP/ARC - file containing all text tiles files
for scenarios to be played under the MEDC battleset.

    To insure ease of use by the Harpoon Warriors certain guide lines have 
been developing by the users.  The guide lines so far, which have been 
developed are as follows:


    1.   There should be an ASCII text file associated with 
the scenario.  This text file should have the victory 
conditions and some background information and anything 
else you wish to add. Include also your name and HARPBBS#
so feedback can be sent to you; Also include your e-mail
address of any WWIVnet board you are a member of by including
the node number also ( ie:  56 @2105 ). 

    2.   The text file should have the same file name as 
the scenario file and file extension of .TXT.  

    3.   The scenario file name should take up the whole 
eight character field with the first four letters 
identifying the associated battleset (i.e.;  GIUK  
NACV  MEDC), and the appropiate file extension corresponding 
to the battleset.

    4.   When possible leave an E-mail message on the BBS; 
giving some feed back on how the scenario played.  This 
will enable the author to improve their future scenarios or 
correct any deficiencies in existing ones.  Address the 
messages to the author.

    The files on the BB right now are in a compressed format to save 
on-line time and cost to callers.  The compression utilities used are the 
ZIP and ARC.  To upload you needn't do it in the compressed format.  We 
will do it here if you have no compression facilities.  You may also 
download the zip compression utility from the BBS.. filename - PKZ110.exe.


   If this scenario was downloaded from another BBS other than the Harpoon 
Scenario Warehouse or a regional HSWBBS you may not have the latest 
version. Most scenarios go through revisions to take out any bugs or add 
items which will enhance the play of the scenario.  Also they are updated 
using the latest version of the Scenario editor which gives the author  
more commands to use making the scenario to play better. The only way to 
insure that you have the latest version is to download from the 
Harpoon Scenario Warehouse.  It is suggested you call and become a
member and use the WWIV network to keep in touch via a local call.  There
is no obligation or fee required to be a member.  However all Harpooners 
are urged to join the Harpoon User's Group HUG.
