	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 deterrence.  In actuality 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 totally 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!).
