              GIUKBIT5 (RACE: A DEFENSE OF ICELAND)


Bitterink was faced with a problem. Overflights had noticed a
build-up on a Soviet held island in the Gap. The Admiral knew his
defense of Iceland was in serious trouble as long as Island X-Ray
was operating as a forward base. That base had to go and go soon.

There are two battle groups in England: a carrier group and an
anphip group. Your orders are to take the carrier group and rush to
the defense of Iceland while covering the amphib groups landings at
the Island X-Ray. Get your landing craft on station and
defend them for twelve (12) hours. Protect your ships and bases.
The loss of your amphibs, or carrier of the destruction of a base
will let Ivan rule the GIUK Gap for the foreseeable future. You are
in a race against time.

(Note: Due to the limitations of the Scenario Editor, this island base
had to be selected from the list of existing Russian bases. The author
chose Arkhangelsk. I call it Island X-Ray.)
