CAMPAIGN-"SPECIAL OPS"*
ALERT AT GUANTANAMO!*
October 16, 1962 0900 Hours**

In a surprise move, unrecognized Russian forces in the area of Santiago de Cuba have appeared and cut their way though troops holding the highway to our naval base. Now the base is in danger of coming under attack and being overrun.**

Setting up the Scenario:**

Move your helicopters to the line. The I0 helicopter is for your HQ unit. It has been named "Bravo 6 Command." That makes it easier to find.**

The next three helicopter formations (J,K,L) have four helicopters. You can load a complete platoon into each of these formations.**

The last five helicopters can be used for the other added units, such as RR teams, mortars and MGs.**

Warning! The Cubans and Soviets are moving tanks and mechanized forces toward Guantanamo. Be sure you get some antitank units with your support points. You will need them!**

If you load them properly, you'll have plenty of room. If you don't, you'll have to ferry them. Once the AA crews wake up, that might be dangerous.**

You might keep a few helicopters on hand, but I would exit most of them (move to the right side of the map. Don't worry, voluntary exiting units do not count against you!).**

Your Orders**

This novel idea of using helicopters for rapid deployment seems to be catching on, Commander. We have another chopper mission for you due to an emergency. The situation has changed drastically! Our guys at Guantanamo are about to come under attack. Well hidden Russian forces near Santiago de Cuba are out in the open and on the move towards the base.**

Get your men ready at once. You must be on your way in the next hour.**

Time means everything. Right now we have nothing in front of the Russian armor and infantry. We'll send what help we can. Most of our assets are committed in the fighting around Havana. Do what you can but make sure it is enough. The boys at Guantanamo are counting on you.** 

One more thing. Rumor has it that there is some sort of holding area for the Bay of Pigs prisoners. Intel says those prisoners are having a pretty rough time of it. If you should find that location, do what you have to do. Those guys deserve their freedom from the hell-hold of Cuban prisons.**
