October 2, 1999*
Atacames, Ecuador*
*
The trip down to the waters outside Ecuador has been long. The troops have finished what preparations possible but it is evident the whole operation is a dangerously hasty thing. For the Canadians a beach assault is not something they have much training in. Yet there is no other option. The political situation in Ecuador permits no further delays.*
*
While American forces assault sectors in the south, the Canadians are assigned the capture of Atacames in the north. It is a small resort town near the coast, presently housing a large number of foreign nationals trapped by the breakdown of Ecuador. They are also potential hostages, and it is important that they are evacuated safely.*
*
You will have some support from the US Navy and USMC.*

Notes: Civilian sections each worth 500 points will arrive on turn 10 near Hotel de Costas. By that time you will need to have cleared the hotel and surrounding areas. USMC helicopters to bring the civilians out are inbound.*
