                               SCENARIO NOTES

This is a MEDC scenario.  America has just taught Quadaffi duck a vital lesson in gunboat diplomacy.  In his thirst for revenge, he has decided to attack an Italian NATO base.

RED ORDERS:
Attack the NATO base at Crotone, Italy.  Intelligence reports minimal air cover.  Italy does not think we will strike them.  Bring your boats in close and give them a taste of what we got the other night.

Minimum victory : Three boats within striking range. Total victory:
Return Three boats to Tripoli, Libya.

Blue Orders:
Intelligence reports that Libya may perpetrate an attack on the airbase at Crotone, Italy.  Your job is to defend the airbase.  No air attacks are anticipated.  Libya will probably try to get close with small PM boats and launch a small missile attack. 

Minimum victory:
Sink or disable three missile boats. Total victory: Sink or disable four missile boats.





Notes:

    This user edited scenario originated from the 
Scenario Wharehouse BBS; operating it's terminal 
at 718-746-7466 in ANSI emulation (2400/1200/300  N-8-1) 
using A WWIV TERMINAL VERSION 4.12  Sometimes you may find  
Procomm Plus terminal up when sysop is conducting other 
business.  However this terminal also accesses the 
directory with the HARPOON SCENARIO WAREHOUSE files.

    On July 16, 1990 the Harpoon Scenario Editor BBS 
Warehouse started where a central point could be 
maintained for the uploading and downloading of the 
Harpoon Game edited scenarios.  As interest and usage of 
the BBS grew.  The BBS improved it's service and 
terminal to a full fledge BBS on October 2, 1990.   The 
BBS will continue to work on improving the terminal and 
services as long as interest continues for Harpoon 
scenarios. The true test of success will be the users 
and plenty of uploads of scenarios made by members with 
the Scenario Editor.  

    Feel free to call at anytime to share ideas and find
information to help you in playing a better game.  Upload any 
scenario you wish to share and download some more for 
your pleasure.  You don't need to upload a scenario to call.
Feel free to share this scenario with others or upload to another BBS.

  The Scenario Wharehouse urges you to give feedback to the
author of any scenario you play; whether it is positive or
negative, by using the BBS E-Mail.  This will help the person to
improve his/her scenario creation and to make any changes 
which need to be made.
  
When you connect to the BBS and you are a first time 
user type in "NEW" and follow the prompts for 
initialization as a member.  Veterans of the original 
Pro-Comm Plus terminal also will have to initialize onto 
the new WWIV terminal.

    Correspondence can be mailed to 19-21 Clintonville 
ST., Whitestone, New York 11357

    To save callers time on line; the following files 
have been made:

  
    GIUKTEXT.ZIP/ARC - File containing all text files 
for scenarios to be played under the GIUK battleset.

    NACVTEXT.ZIP/ARC - File containing all text files 
for scenarios to be played under the NACV battleset.

    HARPBB.TXT - File containing information regarding 
the Harpoon Edited Scenario BBS.

    BBGUIDE.ZIP/ARC - file containing the WWIV terminal 
manual explaining the commands and menus used.


    To insure ease of use by the Harpoon Warriors certain 
guide lines have been developing by the users.  The guide 
lines so far, which have been developed are as follows:


    1.   There should be an ASCII text file associated with 
the scenario.  This text file should have the victory 
conditions and some background information and anything 
else you wish to add.

    2.   The text file should have the same file name as 
the scenario file and file extension of .TXT.  Include
your name and BBS# so feedback can be mailed to you via
E-Mail on the BBS.

    3.   The scenario file name should take up the whole 
eight character field with the first four letters 
identifying the associated battleset (i.e.;  GIUK  
NACV  MEDC), and the appropiate file extension corresponding 
to the battleset.

    4.   When possible leave an E-mail message on the BBS; 
giving some feed back on how the scenario played.  This 
will enable the author to improve their future scenarios or 
correct any deficiencies in existing ones.  Address the 
messages to the author.

    The files on the BB right now are in a compressed format 
to save on-line time and cost to callers.  The compression 
utilities used are the ZIP and ARC.  To upload you needn't 
do it in the compressed format.  We will do it here if you 
have no compression facilities.  You may also download the zip 
compression utility from the BBS.. filename - PKZ110.exe.
