        With the fall of Iceland and Orland, NATO is in a
        desperate position. The Soviets have sortied two
        large SAGs, each containing at least one Kirov
        plus other front line ships. It is important that
        these groups at least be crippled before then can
        wreck havoc upon NATO shipping.

        The loss of the ASW elements at Iceland has put an 
        additional burden on NATO. Iceland must be retaken
        and an ASW group placed between Iceland and Saxa Vord.

        Intel shows that the Soviets have managed to move
        10+ Badgers into Iceland along with fighter support. 
        Also expect Recon aircraft to be present.

        Orland has various strike and fighter aircraft
        present. They will most likely be used against Saxa
        Vord and Oslo. Additional reports show that some
        elements of the invasion force still remain docked.
        They are important targets but their destruction is
        not your primary mission.

        The only success that NATO has achieved so far is a
        serious reduction of Soviet Naval Aviation's long
        range bombers. Expect no more then 25 of mixed types.

        Orders:
               Use the strike aircraft based at Stronoway
               and Kinloss to neutralize Iceland. Then bring
               up the Expeditionary Force based around the
               battleship Wisconsin.

               Bring up the ASW group based around the
               Invincible and station it between Iceland
               and Saxa Vord. It is important that Iceland's
               air assets be neutralized by this time.

               Use the strike force of the American carrier
               group to seek out and destroy the two Soviet
               SAGs. Primary targets are the Kirovs and the
               Slavas. Remember the two groups are also looking
               for you.

               Sax Vord and Oslo will have to look after
               themselves. You lack the assets to provide
               proper air cover over the two bases.

               Protect the amphips and the carriers; you will
               need them.

               NATO MINIMUM VICTORY CONDITION (AND) 1:
               4 Amphibious ships must be on station for 3 hrs, 0 min, 0
               sec.
               NATO MINIMUM VICTORY CONDITION (AND) 2:
               5  ships must be killed.
               NATO MINIMUM VICTORY CONDITION (AND) 3:
               2  ships must be damaged at 55%.
               NATO TOTAL VICTORY CONDITION (AND) 1:
               5 Amphibious ships must be on station for 6 hrs, 0 min, 0
               sec.
               NATO TOTAL VICTORY CONDITION (AND) 2:
               6  ships must be killed.
               NATO TOTAL VICTORY CONDITION (AND) 3:
               2  ships must be killed.
               USSR MINIMUM VICTORY CONDITION (AND) 1:
               2  carriers must be damaged at 65%.
               USSR MINIMUM VICTORY CONDITION (AND) 2:
               4 Amphibious ships must be killed.
               USSR MINIMUM VICTORY CONDITION (AND) 3:
               1 base must be damaged at 67%.

               Notes:
               This scenario is a bit of a memory hog. It
               uses most of the various surface units
               available.
