The Hunt for Red Jesse  -  A Harpoon Scenario
(the computer game) by Jesse W. Cheng

To load this scenario into your Harpoon game you
must hit <alt>-F1 at the "main screen" (the
main screen is the one containing the Menu Bar
and the Group and Unit Maps - in other words
load in another game and then hit <alt>-F1.

To load this scenario you must have already loaded
the GIUK Battleset.  I strongly urge you to answer
yes to all the options regarding nuclear release,
maintenance problems occurring, etc.  This will
enhance the scenario.

I tried to make this as a plausible occurrence to
get the USSR and USA to engage in a naval
battle.  In the light of current good USSR and USA
diplomatic relations an actual war between these
two countries is unlikely.

Please don't forget to read the REDJESSE.TXT file
before loading this scenario into Harpoon.  That
will give you an in depth background on the scenario
for each side.  To enhance the play value I strongly
recommend that you only read the message that per-
tains to the side you wish to play (Blue or Red side).

I plan to come out with more Harpoon scenarios in
the near future emphasizing the Brown Water con-
frontations and possibly expanding on a Soviet
Civil War Naval confrontation.  Stay tuned....

RE: RENEGADE SOVIET WOLF PACK

MESSAGE AS FOLLOWS-

WE HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY THE SOVIET PREMIER THAT
A RENEGADE SOVIET SUPER BOOMER KRAZNY JESSE
(TRANSLATED TO RED JESSE IN ENGLISH) UNDER
ADMIRAL ALEXIEVICH SMENEV KALININ HAS ENTERED THE
NORTH SEA WITH AN UNKNOWN NUMBER OF ESCORTING
SOVIET SUBMARINES.  HE IS DETERMINED TO END
GLASNOST BY STARTING WWIII.  IF HIS WOLFPACK
REACHES FIRING POSITION JUST SOUTH OF ICELAND
THEN HE WILL BE IN RANGE TO ANNIHILATE A NUMBER
OF ATLANTIC COAST U.S. CITIES.  YOU MUST INTER-
CEPT THE SOVIET SHIP KRAZNY JESSE WITH ITS
ESCORT AND DESTROY THEM BEFORE THEY REACH FIRING
POSITION.  OUR LAST SATELLITE SURVEILLANCE HAD DE-
TECTED THE SOVIET WOLFPACK JUST WEST OF THE NORTH
CAPE (8 HRS. AGO).  YOU ARE TO TAKE ALL AVAILABLE
NATO NAVAL GROUPS THAT INCLUDES THE U.K. CARRIER
INVINCIBLE WITH ITS ESCORT OPERATING JUST SOUTH OF
KEFLAVIK, ASW GROUP UNDER COMMAND OF U.S.N. TASK
FORCE COMMANDER HAGERTON OFF THE WEST COAST OF
NORWAY, AND TWO STURGEON CLASS SUBMARINES OFF
THE COAST OF GREENLAND TO FIND AND DESTROY ADMIRAL
KALININ.  ALL AVAILABLE ASW AIR ASSETS WILL BE MADE
AVAILABLE TO YOU.  WE ARE ALSO TOLD BY THE SOVIET
PREMIER THAT ANOTHER SOVIET SUBMARINE TASK FORCE
CONSISTING OF ONE OR TWO KILOS, AND TWO VICTORS MAY BE
SYMPATHETIC TO KALININ AND WAS LAST REPORTED (1 DAY AGO)
IN THE DENMARK STRAIT.  DUE TO OPERATION
DESSERT STORM A LARGE NUMBER OF PLATFORMS WILL NOT
BE AVAILABLE TO YOU INCLUDING THE L.A. CLASS BOOMERS,
AND THE CVN-68 NIMITZ THAT ARE NORMALLY STATIONED
IN THE ATLANTIC.
GOOD LUCK....

             - END OF TRANSMISSION -

VICTORY CONDITIONS BLUE:
MINIMAL - DESTROY 50% SSBN
TOTAL - DESTROY THE KRAZNY JESSE (TYPHOON CLASS BOOMER)

Orders for the Red Side (don't read this if you wish
to play the NATO Forces):

You are Admiral Alexievich Smenev Kalinin currently
on board the Red Banner Northern Fleet Typhoon-class
nuclear ballistic submarine.  You are disillusioned
with the break up of the Soviet Republic and are an
ardent communist yearning for the good 'old days.  You
carefully make out a plan with other loyal officers of
similar persuasion to make it so.  Your task force
consists of two of the largest SSBNs ever built which
can unload enough nuclear missiles onto the Amerikansky
to obliterate several American cities, provided you
get into position south of the coast of Iceland to
make the shot.  Captain Second Rank of V.K. Vorsholov
(Victor III class SSN) has agreed to assist you in
your endeavor.  He is stationed off NW coast of Iceland.
KGB Intel has revealed that the H.M.S. Invincible (CVH),
H.M.S. Sheffield (Boxer Class DDG), and H.M.S. Norfolk
(Duke Class FF) are operating south of the coast of
Iceland at the fire position.  You can at take some
mild satisfaction if you could destroy this carrier
and damage the pride of U.K. but total victory
lies in reaching fire position.  Your moment has come
since Operation Dessert Storm has the Allied forces
preoccupied now is the time to strike!

Red Side Victory Conditions:

Minimal - Destroy H.M.S. Invincible (CVH)
Total - Get into firing position south of the 63rd
parallel (south of Iceland).
