                  RACE - A DEFENSE OF ICELAND
                             GIUKBIT5

Bitterink was faced with a problem. Overflights had noticed a
build-up on a Soviet held island in the Gap. The Admiral knew his
defense of Iceland was in serious trouble as long as that island
was operating as a forward base. That base had to go and go soon.

There are two battle groups in England: A carrier group and an
amphib group. Your orders are to take the carrier group and rush to
the defense of Iceland while covering the amphib groups landings at
the Soviet forward base. Get your landing craft on station and
defend them for twelve (12) hours, protecting your ships and bases.
The loss of your amphibs or carrier or the destruction of a base
will let Ivan rule the GIUK Gap for the foreseeable future. You are
in a race against time.
