 Scenario Notes:

It is now one year after the Persian Gulf war.  With high hopes of a
lasting mid east peace, the United States has been removing troops
and navel units from the eastern Med.  Israel has finally sat down
with the PLO after the assassination of Yassir Arafat and the coming
to the table of moderates.  Talks, under the auspices of the US and
Soviet Union have been going on for three months in Geneva.  The
talks are now centered over were to put a demilitarized homeland for
the Palestinians.  Jordan has flatly refused to give up territory for an
autonomous state within its borders.  Israel has refused to give up the
Golan Heights, Egypt is pushing for Syria or Libya to provide a
homeland.  Even with these problems, progress has been made.  The
Egyptian position of not allowing a Palestinian homeland, has
aroused the passions of young radicals.  Radicals who fervently
believe that Israel has undermined the true faith of the Egyptian
leadership.

Plans are made to make an example of the Egyptian government.
Iran, sensing an opportunity to export it's fundamentalist beliefs,
infiltrates two terrorist teams.  One slips into Syria and makes it's
way to Haifa.  The other is landed in Libya and makes it's way to
Cairo.  The new found hope for peace is shattered in a coordinated
terrorist attack.  The Egyptian President and wife are gunned down
and a bomb explodes in the Prime Minister home killing all.  The
Red September group claims responsibility and publicly thanks Libya
and Syria for the support of the acts.  Talks are broken off, and
Israel and Egypt demand that the terrorist be turned over for trial.
Syria and Libya both condemn the acts, but to no avail.  Egypt closes
its borders with Libya and threatens to attack if the Libyans so much
as launch a single fighter.  Israel makes a similar demand on Syria.
The next day, a Libyan border guard is found dead.  Libya mobilizes
its forces and calls for assistance from the Soviets.

Subj:  Mid-East Rescue

Comrade Admiral Ivan Ivanavich;
You know the state of affairs in the Mid East is rapidly coming to
war.  Intelligence reports that the Egyptian government is going to
launch an attack on Libya within 24 hours.  Your orders are to escort
several merchant ships from Tobruk and provide safe conduct to the
Atlantic.  Reports indicate that several submarines from NATO
countries are in route to Odessa and may blockade our ports.  Turkey
has declared that it will not tolerate any overflights of military aircraft
over its borders.  We will try to re-enforce the Syrians anyway and a
flight of bombers will attempt to land Okba Ibn Nafa, Libya.

Your orders are clear, escort the merchant men to the Atlantic and land
at least ten
bombers in Libya.  Try to avoid contact with the Americans, the CG Belknap is in
the Eastern Med.  You must support the Libyans and Syrians without involving any
NATO countries.  You have permission to fight if attacked, but do not initiate
hostilities until fired upon.
