Harpoon(tm) Indian Ocean/Persian Gulf Battleset Scenario:  Juggernaut II
----------------------------------------------------------
designed by Ali Hanafi and Norm Lunde

NOTE:  This is essentially the same scenario as Juggernaut, minus the French
       carrier group and a few other units which were deleted to conserve
       memory.

Background: The Bengal War of 1995 represents the final attempt of the 
	    hatchling Indian superpower to break out of its shell. By 
            crushing its rivals, most notably Pakistan, and seizing the
            gateway to the Persian Gulf, India would permanently secure its
            regional supremacy and -- what is more -- establish a stranglehold
            on the mighty Western powers, including the United States herself.

	    Even with Soviet help in the east, India was forced to commit all
            of her resources to the gambit.  While land forces clashed on the
            frontier plains and the Indian air force attempted to achieve air
            superiority by smashing the well-trained and better-equipped 
            Pakistani squadrons on the ground, an amphibious assault force
            crept up the coast toward Karachi with the first, secretly trained
            units a newly formed Indian commando division -- a sort of hybrid
            amphibious/air assault force which soon became known to CNN 
            viewers worldwide as the "Thuggis."


Red Orders:
-----------

	    This is your opportunity to become the greatest hero in all of
            Indian history!  On the eve of our emergence as the Last 
            Superpower, you are to take command of our air and sea forces.

            The key to our victory will be the amphibious assault on Karachi
            by our Thuggi troops.  Once in range, they will launch helicopter
            cavalry attacks from the carrier Vikrant and a seaborne invasion
            from six converted merchant ships.  You must escort them safely
            to Karachi and protect them for six hours.  Also, you must prepare
            the way for them by inflicting at least 60% damage on the defenses
            at Karachi.

            You should use your air assets in the north to smash the Pakistani
            planes on the ground.  Conduct air strikes until the only things
            flying from Pakistani airbases are the white flags!

            Use the southern bases to provide a CAP umbrella for the invasion
            force.  Beware of possible sneak attacks by Pakistani diesel subs.


Minimum Victory Conditions:
---------------------------
            You must get half of the converted merchantmen and the carrier
            Vikrant into the vicinity of Karachi and protect them there for
            six hours.  Also, you must inflict 60% damage on the base at
            Karachi.

Total Victory Conditions:
---------------------------
            Get all of the merchantmen, and Vikrant, safely to Karachi.
            Inflict at least 60% damage on Karachi, and sink 20 enemy ships.

Blue Orders:
------------
            The balloon has gone up -- India's aggressive designs on our
            humble peace-loving nation are now coalescing into action.  An
            invasion force has assembled on our border, and a corresponding
            increase in Indian air activity indicates that war is imminent.
            You must take charge of our nation's air defenses, and protect
            our valuable assets -- without air superiority, our grunts will
            be overwhelmed by the sheer numbers of the enemy.  Also, it is
            rumored that the Indians will attempt some sort of naval assault
            coordinated with the land invasion.  It is imperative that our
            harbors remain operational and in friendly hands for that is the
            only way we can obtain assistance from the Americans.  Seek out
            the Indian fleet and cripple it.
    

Blue Intelligence:
------------------
            Massive air strikes on our bases can be taken for granted.

            Any Indian ships operating in the eastern half of the Arabian
            Sea are bound to be protected by land-based fighters; submarine
            attacks may prove more effective than air attacks, at least
	    until the enemy task force passes out of Indian airspace and into
	    striking range of Karachi.  An alternative strategy is to roll 
	    back Indian air defenses by conducting raids on the heavily 
	    defended bases at Jamnagar and Bombay.  Composition of the enemy
            naval force is unknown, but probably includes one of the Indian
            carriers -- possibly even Cochin.  One source reported the 
            departure some time ago of several merchant ships from the naval
            shipyards at Trivandrum; we don't know what to make of this, but
            they could be carrying supplies for a large amphibious assault
            force.

Blue Minimum Victory Conditions:
--------------------------------
            Sink the carrier Vikrant and at least half of the amphibious
            assault ships in the Indian formation.

Blue Total Victory Conditions:
------------------------------
            Sink Vikrant and all of the amphibious raiders.
