On subject...

Hello All, To answer a request from a list member, (Better not identified) and
with totsl disreguard for my own ego, I am presenting the
following scenario for comment/distruction.

Please forward your guess/estimination on/of the outcome with comments.

Notes:1)   The following is part one of a two part scenario.
      2)   This was originally intended for my use only and,
I was really to lazy to retype this, so it is all caps.
      3)   NSL and NAC may choose ships from MT if desired,
the NSL CA is a super cruiser. FULL THRUST SCENARIO: NUMBER 1

TITLE: THE TROJAN POINT INCIDENT.

PRINCIPALS:   ESU, FSE, NSL, NAC, TRADE SHIP,  AND THE KRA'VAK.

SINCE THE ESU HAS DISPLAYED HOSTILE ACTIONS TO THE NSL OVER
THE LAST SEVERAL MEETINGS IN DEEP SPACE.   THE NSL HAS ASKED FOR THIS
MEETING TO RESOLVE THIS POTENTIAL CRISIS.

ALL+UN:   A PEACE CONFERENCE HAS BEEN REQUESTED AT THE QUADRANT
LOCUS. ALL PARTIES A REQUESTED TO SEND AN AMBASSADOR UPON A HEAVY CRUISER WITH
NOT MORE THAN 3 ESCORT SHIPS. THIS MEETING WILL BE SPONSORED BY THE UN SPACE
AGENCY.
     (UN FORCE: BB, CA, AND TWO DD.   THE ESU AND FSE HAVE
TWO VOTES ON THE SECURITY COUNCIL, THE NAC HAVE ONE, THE NSL HAVE NONE. YOUR
PROMOTIONS DEPEND ON THE VOTES OF THE SECURITY COUNCIL.)

ESU:   THE NSL IS RIGHT, YOU HAVE BEEN HOSTILE.   YOU HAD GOOD
REASON, YOU THOUGHT YOU COULD GET AWAY WITH IT. IF ONLY THE TWO DD'S HAD NOT
ESCAPED. OH WELL, OUR CULTURE IS 6000 YEARS OLD, AND WE ARE STILL BETTER THAN
ANYONE ELSE. (ESU FORCE: CA AND 2 DD; IN RESERVE CA AND 2 DD.)

FSE:   WELL, I WONDER WHAT TRICK THE ESU IS GOING TO PULL THIS
TIME? WOULD'T MIND IF THE ESU MANAGES TO KNOCK OFF A FEW
     NSL SHIPS.   IF IT TURNS OUT TO BE MESSY I CAN ALWAYS SIT
ON THE FENCE. (FSE FORCE: CA AND 2 DD; IN RESERVE BC, CA, CL.)

NSL:   YOU HAVE GOTTEN THE WORST OF THE LAST FEW ENCOUNTERS,
AND HAVE ASKED FOR THE ASSISTANCE OF THE NAC TO CALM THINGS
     DOWN A BIT.   THE ESU SHIPS ARE NOT VERY GOOD, BUT THEY DO
SEEM TO HAVE A LOT OF THEM. (NSL FORCE: CA AND 2 DD; IN RESERVE 3 DD.)

NAC:   THE ESU IS STIRRING UP TROUBLE, THE FSE MAY GO EITHER WAY,
     AND THE NSL IS CONSIDERED AN ALLY.   THE UN CAN'T BE COUNTED
ON IN A FIGHT. (IT IS POSSIBLE YOU MAY SETTLE YOUR OWN CRISIS WITH THE ESU, IF
THE CHANCE COMES UP.) (NAC FORCE: CVL, BDN, 3 CL, 2 DD.)

KRA'VAK:   YOU ARE IN PERSUIT OF AN ALIEN SHIP THAT HAS VIOLATED
     THE 'TRIAL OF STRENGTH' AREA.   YOUR FUNCTION IS TO DESTROY
THIS INTRUDER. (KRA'VAK FORCE: BB, BC, 4 CL, 4 DD, 6 CC) (ORDER OF ENTRY, BY
TURN:
     3) 3 CC;	4) BC, 2 DD;   5) 3 CC;   6) BB, 2 DD;	 7) 4 CL.)

MERCHANT SHIP:   THIS IS A Q-SHIP/FREIGHTER/SMUGGLER WANTED BY
     MOST NATIONS FOR ALMOST EVERYTHING.   YOU HAVE BEEN TRADING/
RAIDING WITH AN UNDISCOVERED ALIEN CULTURE OR TWO. (NOTE: THE KRA'VAK ARE TWO
TURNS BEHIND, KEEP RUNNING!) ENTER TURN ONE AT SPEED 20 THRUST = SEVEN. THIS
SHIP IS
     A FREE CAL-TEX BLOCKADE RUNNER/AUX CRUISER AND CARRIES
INFORMATION ABOUT ALIEN CULTURES BEYOND BRIDGERS WORLD.
