Cold War Christmas in Taiwan
This scenario is written to be played with harpoon classic version 2022.027 or newer.
To be played in Westpac Battleset using custom database HCCW-140314 (can be downloaded from scenario download site)
Scenario Background:
Its a few days before christmas in a fictional 1964.
There has been a continous close co operation between USSR and the Peoples Republic of China (PRC). Pressure in other locations and internal political change has lead to a significant withdrawal of USA forces from the South East Asian area, although a retained interest in the politics.
Meanwhile negotiations between PRC and the Republic of China (ROC: Taiwan), following on from repeated incidents in the late 1950's, seem highly likely to lead to a peaceful re unification of Taiwan (Formosa) with it's parent, only a resistance group predominantly within the military stand in the way. This group has been unofficially using military equipment via sea channels and relying on a combined presence of UK, US and democratic West Pacific countries such as Australia.
A typical convoy of supply ships is approaching from the Pacific destined for the southern port of Tungkang.
