                   NACVBB01 by JIVA

                ANNIVERSARY SCENARIO

          A SCENARIO MADE WITH THE HARPOON EDITOR



    The British are very independent people ny nature, and so 
have chosen to organize their own convoy.  This convoy originated
from it's subjects of the old Empire; far from the NATO theatre
loaded with materials for the Queen.  It has now entered the North
Atlantic heading for St. Mawgan.  A task force centered around the CVH 
Invincible is escorting the convoy with Admiral Michael 
Sterling the convoy Commodore as a personal favor to the 
Queen.

    The object is simple.  Admiral Sterling must get to St. 
Mawgan with enough materials to make the queen happy.


    This scenario was developed at the HARPOON Scenario Warehouse BBS
for the first month anniversary.  It is dedicated to Michael 
Sterling a Harpoon warrior whom has the distinction of 
being the very first person to sign onto the BBs and upload 
his own scenarios for us to enjoy; and for bringing home 
the convoy to the Queen.






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.
