HELO

A Harpoon Classic 2002 scenario for the EC2000 Mediterranean
battleset, designed for play by the BLUE side only.

It occurred to me that there aren't many HC/HC97/HC2002 scenarios
which focus on helicopter combat, particularly helo vs helo warfare
in the virtual absence of fixed wing aircraft. Hence HELO.

In this scenario, you are commander of a joint US/UK force operating
inside the war ravaged Balkans. Your force controls the airports at
Sarajevo and Mostar, but little else. A British Royal Navy task group
centred around HMS Ocean is enroute with reinforcements, and a force
of eight C-130 Hercules airlifters are sitting on the tarmac at Souda
awaiting your confirmation that the area is secure.

The enemy is well equipped with Hind gunships and assault helos, and
enemy ground troops are heading in your direction. They have every
intention of kicking you out of the region.

Get the Ocean task group safely to Beachhead Freedom, and the
Hercules safely into Sarajevo. Time is of the essence.
