NOTE: This plays from the BLUE side only!

14.1 Background
     Soviet forces will be pushing southward through Norway capturing and
     then utilizing former NATO bases and ports for staging their own
     operations. These bases are critical to both sides for establishing
     and maintaining control of the GIUK waters.
     
14.2 Blue Orders
     As Blue Commander you are in overall charge of 3 combat groups plus the
     base at Keflavik. Two of the groups are single Improved Los Angeles 
     class submarines north/west of the target base at Bodo, Norway.

     Your main battle group is centered on a Nimitz Class aircraft 
     carrier and her air group. Also there are two squadrons of long range ASW 
     aircraft (P3 Orions and Nimrods) based at Keflavik plus two squadrons
     of F-15C fighters.

     Your orders are to strike the base at Bodo which is now being used by the
     Soviets to launch long-range ASW patrols and anti-ship air strikes into 
     the GIUK waters and render it incapable of supporting any great number
     of aircraft.
     
14.3 Intelligence Brief
     Reports indicate a large number of long-range bombers and patrol
     aircraft based at Bodo. It is assumed that the strike aircraft will
     also be protected by fighters, probably long-range MIG-29 Fulcrums.

     A surface group was thought to be in the vicinity of Bodo, but we 
     have no data to confirm this and ground intelligence assets at Murmansk
     have reported that major Soviet surface warships are on station close
     to the base, so we assume the surface group in question returned there
     within the past several days. Be on the lookout for submarines, though.

     Once your primary objective is accomplished, destruction of submarine
     assets is considered important in that it will help destroy their 
     ability to control the GIUK waters.
     
14.4 Victory Conditions
     NATO Minimum: Inflict a minimum 95% damage on base at Bodo. Remember
                   that if the base is completely destroyed, you also kill
                   ALL aircraft based there!

     NATO Total  : Minimum + Kill 2 nuclear attack submarines

     USSR Minimum: Damage carrier 85%

     USSR Total  : Minimum + Kill 2 large ships OR damage 3 other large
                   ships 85%
