                                             Scenario Description

        1.1 Background  Red forces have taken Iceland.  Red aircraft flown
        to Iceland have been destroyed, but a large ground garrison still 
        exists.  Red task groups have been escorting resupply ships down 
        to Iceland.  American and UK surface forces are escorting an 
        amphibious assault force which has just left America.  France has 
        taken over efforts to slow down the resupply effort.

        1.2 Blue Orders : Use your submarine and air forces to damage and
        destroy as many resupply ships as possible.  French aircraft and 
        some F-111s on loan from the US must be flown up from the 
        Mediterranean.

        1.3  Blue Intelligence: Past task groups have consisted of 8-12
        ships split evenly between cargo ships and escorts.  The escorts 
        are usually a well-balanced mix of AAW and ASW ships.  No helo 
        carriers have been used for escort duty yet.  Land-based air
        threat is zero.

        1.4  Blue Minimum Victory Conditions: Sink at least three cargo 
        ships and one escort.
