                             SCENARIO NOTES

Invasion USA is a NACV scenario for Harpoon.  This scenario is a 
simulation designed around a hypothetical collapse of NATO situation.  
Although there are not a lot of units this scenario is long and 
demands patience to play.  Most of the action will take place sometime 
around day 4 with some occasional air actions in the intervening 
time.  If you are the type of player who prefers immediate action and 
meaningless brawls (the high cost of modern navies and air forces make 
the brawl situation unlikely unless required to achieve some specific 
geographical or political goal) then do not bother to play this 
scenario.  Orders have been given to both sides so you can play either 
the Soviets or the US.  I prefer playing the US but for those who 
prefer an offensive action the Soviet side is for you.  The computer 
plays either side well.  Those of you who do not have the scenario 
editor can run this scenario but you must have 'Harpoon' vs. 1.1.  To 
load it select the NACV battleset and any scenario within it.  Once
the selected scenario loads and the unit and strategic map screen is 
up press altF1 and load "invsnusa".  There are no minimum victory 
conditions for either side, this is an all or nothing scenario; either 
total victory or no victory.  Enjoy!


                             THE SITUATION

Four months ago NATO collapsed.  Soviet military might prevailed in 
Western Europe and now the Soviet Union controls the continent.  The 
British Isles still retain sovereignty but have little political or 
military influence over European politics.  Long range Soviet 
strategic assets (Backfires, Badgers and Bears) launching hundreds of 
cruise missiles at a time effectively destroyed all British ports and 
airfields.  Britain is isolated and effectively has been Finlandized 
by the Soviet Union.  At war's end both the Soviet and US fleets were 
crippled.  The Soviet Union has used the four months since the end of 
the war to rebuild what it can.  The US is wracked with internal 
strife over whether to continue the fight or give in to what many see 
as inevitable and accept the new geopolitical reality.  If the Soviet 
Union can take the war to the US then maybe the American people will 
recognize reality.  If the US can effectively prevent a Soviet attack 
new energy and strength may be infused into the US population and the 
fight for freedom will be carried on.  US naval forces consist of one 
repaired carrier some CG's and Frigates.  US air forces consist of 
reserve units and some land based naval units which are carrier 
capable.  The Soviets have repaired and otherwise scraped together a 
creditable assault force and have a reasonable strategic air 
capability.


TO: COMMANDER AMPHIBIOUS ASSAULT FORCE ATLANTIC

FROM: SUPREME SOVIET NAVAL HQ

SUBJ: ATTACK ON US MAINLAND

COMRADE COMMANDER, THE END OF OUR GLORIOUS AND JUSTIFIABLE STRUGGLE IS 
NEAR.  THE CAPITALIST WEAKLINGS FIGHT AMONG THEMSELVES.  OUR LEADERS 
HAVE DETERMINED THAT TAKING THE WAR TO THE WEAKLING IMPERIALISTS WILL 
CONVINCE THEM THAT THEY CANNOT STAND UP AGAINST SOVIET POWER.  YOU ARE 
THERFORE ORDERED TO TAKE YOUR ASSAULT FORCE TO THE EAST COAST OF THE 
USA AND LAND THE TROOPS UNDER YOUR COMMAND AT *.  AFTER YOUR FORCES 
HAVE INFLICTED MAJOR DAMAGE ON THE ASSAULT AREA RECOVER YOUR TROOPS 
AND RETURN TO OUR FATHERLAND.  GOOD LUCK COMRADE.

*Note - you can land your troops at Norfolk, New York or Boston.  
Landing is simulated by getting within 20 miles of the port you choose 
and staying there for 6 hours.  You must keep 4 merchant ships 
stationary and w/in 20 miles of port to achieve your objective.  Be 
careful not to ground your combatants, they will need to be mobile to 
protect your merchants (one strategy).  Once you have the merchants at 
an objective for 6 hours you will achieve total victory and the 
scenario will be over.  If you lose more than 2 merchants you cannot 
win (the US stopped your invasion) but you can console yourself by 
finishing off whats left of the US fleet.

TO: COMMANDER US NAVAL FORCES EASTERN ZONE

FROM: THE PRESIDENT

SUBJ: SOVIET INVASION

ADMIRAL, SATELLITE INTELLIGENCE REPORTS A SOVIET AMPHIBIOUS FORCE 
APPROXIMATELY 500 MILES SW OF ICELAND HEADING YOUR WAY, OBJECTIVE 
UNKNOWN BUT A TROOP LANDING SOMEWHERE ON THE EASTERN SEABOARD IS 
DEFINITE.  YOUR ORDERS ARE SIMPLE, KILL THE TROOP SHIPS.  IF THE 
SOVIETS SUCCESSFULLY LAND TROOPS ON US SOIL IT IS LIKELY THE 
ISOLATIONIST FACTION WILL SUCCEED IN ITS EFFORTS TO DEMILITARIZE OUR 
COUNTRY AND THE FIGHT FOR WORLD FREEDOM WILL DIE.  THE FATE OF THE 
FREE WORLD IS IN YOUR HANDS ADMIRAL.  GOOD LUCK AND GOOD HUNTING.  MAY 
GOD GO WITH YOU.
