Author's Notes: I wrote this scenario partly to explore the possibilities of smaller, air-oriented scenarios for Harpoon. It is based around a limited conflict (an attack on one strategic target) between two smaller nations and there are no naval units in this scenario, only aircraft and ground facilities such as runways, air defense units, and buildings.
