Scenario for Origins '88 Harpoon Miniature Tournament

This is a small but very quick, enjoyable and intense
confrontation.  The original OOB was on GEnie.  I played on the
American side in that game commanding the Coontz class destroyer
when it was put on by Larry Bond at GenCon in 1988.  The U.S.
lost! 

1) Synopsis

Spruance (the Improved Spruance) is the centerpiece of a SAG
enroute to a position off the Norwegian Coast.  When in position,
it will launch a TLAM strike against Bodo, currently occupied by
the Soviets.

The Russians have found out about the SAG and have dispatched a
nearby ASW group to intercept and destroy it.

Because the Improved Spruance is only available in the NACV
Battleset, I used that battleset and was forced to adjust ship
types from the original Origin 88 game.


2)  Blue Orders

     You are the commander of Task Group (TG) 23.2.  USS
Spruance, assigned to your force, must proceed to a point within
250 miles of Orland and launch her TLAMs against Orland airfield,
now held by the Soviets.  The other vessels are to serve as her
escort.  You may use the Tomahawks ONLY against then enemy
airbase, NOT against enemy surface vessels.  They are supposed to
be the conventional land attack cruise missiles.

     The Soviets can be expected to attempt to stop your group. 
The threat may come from surface craft, submarines, or aircraft. 
Aggressively use all the assets at your disposal to detect
incoming threats and avoid or destroy them.

     Your mission can only be achieved by reaching Point Alpha
and launching your missiles.  Avoiding the enemy may be just as
effective as engaging him.  You get a minimal victory for
destroying Orland and a total victory for destroying Orland and
sinking a capital Russian vessel.

3)  Blue OOB:

USS Spruance (DD-963)    Improved Spruance Class Destroyer
USS Scott (DDG-995)      Kidd Class Destroyer

4)  Blue Victory Conditions

Destruction of Orland Airfield.

Total Victory:  Destroy Orland and sink a capital Russian vessel.




2)  Red Orders
     You are the commander of Task Group Kiev, an ASW group
operating in the Norwegian Sea.  An American SAG is entering your
zone of operations.  It may be attempting a Tomahawk strike
against a land target.  Locate and destroy any potential
launching platforms before they can fire.

3)  Red OOB

CVHG Baku           Baku Class Aircraft Carrier
Sovremenny          Sovremenny Class Destroyer
