The Bank Getaway
Designer's Notes

This is a scenario inspired by an old HDS1 scenario called "the Svalbard Incident", and it ended (for me) with a gun duel to the death between a CF Adams destroyer and a damaged Kirov BCGN. It was a long, thrilling ride, so I'm paying tribute to it with a much more complex scenario, updated to EC2003, but hopefully with a similar outcome. A few things- first, it's not a "mugging", where you get sighted and jumped immediately. You'll have a moment to organize your forces. Your opponent will try aggressively to find you, however. Unusually, you have close to air parity to start with- but the opponent has better units, and this scenario is set up to attrit YOUR air assets- be careful. The Italian and Spanish Harriers were added to give you viable air defenses for the surface group. You'll also see a shortage of AEW, EW and recon assets on your side. Don't hesitate to pick the cherries when they appear, and best of luck. Comments to rainman@ecentral.com
