SCENARIO:  The outbreak of war found NATO prepared at sea, but the speed
and preparedness of the Soviet attack was a surprise.  The rapid airborne
takeover of Iceland and subsequent buildup of airpower caught substantial
NATO forces out of position, and substantial air assets have been lost
trying to stabilize the situation.  A MAG with CBG escort is still far to
the south.  Soviet surface forces are moving south, doubtless intending to
help defend Iceland and invade southern Norway.  In addition, a substantial
portion of the Soviet submarine fleet is still moving south, and holding
the GIUK gap against them is still desirable.
____________________
NATO ORDERS:  Your first priority is to stabilize the situation in the Gap
and get your exposed forces to safety (Soviet victory condition; destroy
Invincible class carriers).  Once this is accomplished, attempt to maintain
a degree of interdiction of Soviet submarines moving through the Gap (NATO
victory condition; 10 submarines destroyed).  If possible, attempt to
destroy or neutralize the Soviet base at Keflavik (NATO victory condition:
Keflavik greater than 80% damaged).  Eventually, move the MAG into position
to invade and retake Iceland (NATO victory condition:  Amphibious ships on
station 24 hours), and turn back or destroy the Soviet amphibious force
(NATO victory condition:  Destroy amphibious ships).

SOVIET ORDERS:  This game is designed to be played from the Soviet side,
only.

GENERAL:  This is a very large scenario (requires 616K), probably playable
only on a '286 or higher processor with DOS 5.0.  It is originally based on
the Gatekeeper scenario of the GIUK battleset.  It's my first scenario, but
seems to play well.  Please give me feedback on what it needs, so I can
improve it.
