                          GIUKSUB1 - Escape from Norway

                           by Rick Fortier ( HARPBBS #332) 

Situation:  

             With the people of Russia suffering through their 5th winter
of little or none of every conceivable consumer item, the Army with the help
of the KGB replaced the President/Ruler with their own puppet and have 
decided that all the goods and services are available (for the taking)
just across the border in the EEC.

             Thirty days ago, GSFG came out of their barracks and, with the
help of new divisions from deep within Russia, have pushed NATO to a line
stretching from Bremen to Kassel, Wurzburg and south to Munich. But, there
they stalled with no immediate solution at hand. They attacked across the
NordKapp into Norway, gaining in the process the "neutral" country of 
Sweden. 

             Now, with the situation in Norway worsening every hour, the
decision has been made to extract as much of the 5th MEF as possible before
those assets get completely destroyed.  The majority of the MEF has already
been extracted all that is left is the command staff and some heavy
equipment.

             You are Commander - STANAVFORATL - at this moment, all that is
left of your unit is the USS Tattnall (DDG 19), the HMS Juno (FF 52) and the
Norwegian frigate Trondheim (F302). You have been sent to Bergen to escort
the USS Saipan (LHA 2) along with the Shreveport (LPD 12) and the Mount
Whitney (LCC 6) to Saxa Vord. By the time you reach Saxa Vord, a CV 
battlegroup will take over.


NATO Orders : Escort 3 ships carrying 5th MEF to Saxa Vord from Bergen.
              The transports cannot leave port until S + 3 hours as the
              on-loading is not completed.


Intelligence : Intel reports indicate that you shouldn't see any opposition
               from either the surface or air elements of the Soviet Red
               Banner Fleet. We think that the most they can muster this 
               far south is a few diesel electric subs and none of them
               SSGs.


Victory Conditions : 

Minimum Victory NATO : Sink 2 subs.

Total Victory NATO :   Get 4 ships to Saxa Vord

Minimum Victory USSR : Sink 3 ships

                      Note : This scenario is only playable as NATO.
