Sick of coordinating alpha strikes? Bored of sending SSN forces into Soviet SSBN bastions? Well, this is the scenario for you!

The scenario covers a fictional incursion by Papua New Guinea forces deep into the Solomon Islands during the Bougainville Conflict in 1994. Your forces comprise two lightly armed and rather fragile Pacific class patrol boats, a small landing craft and a small transport aircraft.

I'd appreciate any and all comments on this scenario. Thanks in advance!

Finished it. Didn't technically lose any ships, but one of my patrol boats was dead in the water about midway through the Slot, and another was badly damaged and out of ammo. The Buna made it to its destination safe and sound, so I won a major victory. Two Solomon boats were sunk, though only one rebel vessel.

Also, an interesting thing happened in the final stages. Basically, I led the other rebel boat on a chase with my surviving PB to keep it away from the Buna, and it actually ran out of fuel and was dead in the water as well after a few minutes. (Thankfully it only fired and missed with a few RPGs.)

Not a bad scenario-I love small ones like these.

Thank you for those comments. I've made a few tweaks to make the scenario a little bit tougher, and think that this is now finished.
