				    DESERT SHIELD

	This scenario is a simulated set up for a "what if" type situation.  
	What if the Iraqi's decided to push on into Saudi Arabia after sweeping 
	over Kuwait.  In reality the situation was very dim after Kuwait was 
	over run.  There was no substantial air power in the area which could 
	have stopped them.  The United States scrambled to get aircraft in 
	place to even be a detterence.  In actuallity the Iraqi's had air 
	superiority those first few days and the Saudi's and American's knew 
	if they attacked nothing would stop them.  This scenario is to simulate 
	the situation if the Iraqi's decided to use their advantage and 
	attacked.  The setup is after the first day or two when the Coalition 
	forces were weak and not much air assets were in place yet.  The 
	scenario is a very quick one and will only last 7 hours maximum.  
	The president Bush has decided after the Iraqi's started their attack, 
	that the only way to stop the defeat of Saudi Arabia would be to 
	eliminate Hussain by totaly destroying Baghdad.

	Since the Med set is the closest to the Mid East as we have until 
	360 comes out with their Persian Gulf battleset (they can't decide 
	not to now after Desert Storm).  I have used it to simulate this 
	situation.  Your only objective is to defend yourself and destroy 
	Baghdad (which is represented by Mersa Matruh).  God Luck. ( Hint - 
	don't dare go above a 1:1 time ratio when playing this scenario!).



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:

    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.

    WOMRD100.ZIP/ARC - This is a Off-line message and e-mail reader. All
    members are usrged to download and use this program.  It will save
    phone charges. It is in it's frist fully functional development 
    stage.  Future developments will allow the user to download and upload
    files and messages from commands made off-line.

    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 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.
