  As the war continues (see readme.txt in EUROWA.EXE), additional
North American forces are brought on-line to protect the continent
from attack.  Surprisingly, Canadian forces have been given a
massive boost through some well planned purchases of used, but
still highly effective, equipment from the United Kingdom.  Most
important among these is the acquisition of the helicopter carrier
Illustrious and its support ships.  This whole group was picked up
for the bargain basement cost of 10 years guaranteed prices on all
Canadian grain products, plus transport of the same.  Which, as it
turns out, is just about the best investment anyone will make this
century.

  With the majority of North Atlantic forces engaged in holding the
Azores and Iceland,  whatever Atlantic forces remain must be put to
use in stopping a desperate people from using their all too easily
available submarine forces as a direct threat to North America. 
There is no chance of moving Pacific forces through the Panama
Canal considering the nasty noises coming from the nations on the
opposite Pacific coast.

  It is now understood that the so called "Eurasian Hegemony" is
hardly a representative government of the continent.  It could be
described as a coalition of covert neo-fascists who, after the
collapse of the Soviet Union began to build a power-base within all
but a few European and Asian military organizations.  To them the
famine is merely a convenient happenstance, of which they are
taking full advantage.  Regardless of their means, their goal is
clear, force North America to bow to their will, and in one stroke
make themselves masters of the largest and richest nation of the
world.

  Unfortunately, as with all grand plans, their's is suffering from
an inability to deal with simple problems, like the regional
disputes over food distribution.  As the food situation worsens it
is beginning to effect the will of the people who form the Hegemony
military forces.  Although the Hegemony leaders have guaranteed the
health and safety of all their families, it is a promise which is
becoming harder and harder to believe.  Because of this pressure,
negotiations to end hostilities and begin food transport as soon as
possible were proposed by 2 Hegemony leaders in April.

  Two weeks later the negotiations failed totally, after mobs
killed 7 of the 10 Canadian and American negotiators in Paris.  It
appears that although the Hegemony has a strong grip on the
military of Europe and Western Asia, the general populace is not
being helped or controlled in any way.  Despite this the North
America public and media still hold strongly the belief that all
available food should be sent immediately to needy areas, though no
one has any idea how to do it.  Analogies have been drawn to the
Somalian situation of the previous decade, but it has been quickly
pointed out that no Somalian warlord possessed military technology
and capability to threaten all parts of the planet.

  The situation is best summarized in the words of Canadian Prime
Minister Campbell, who at a recent meeting of North and South
American leaders by concluded that, "until such time as some
legitimate government control is reestablished across the Atlantic
we must do everything in our power to protect ourselves and our
homes, and pray that we will be able to help when that time comes".

*****************************************************************

This scenario package for Harpoon NACV HDS2 enhanced battleset 
explores the possibility of a cross Atlantic war, between forces 
which had for many decades been allies.  Unlike traditional NATO 
vs non-NATO northern hemisphere conflict scenarios, the quality of 
weapons advantage always held by NATO forces has been alleviated by
splitting the NATO allies.  In addition, this scenario also allows
for more wide-open sea action, and the very interesting possibility
of invading North America.  You will notice that some leeway has
been taken in outfitting the Eurasian Forces.  But, keep in mind
that this scenario takes place in the first decade of the next
century.
