File Name: Matrix Siege (remake) File Submitter: divefreak File Submitted: 1 Sep 2007 File Updated: 2 Sep 2007 File Category: GIUK This is a remake of the old GUIK II Scen Matrix Siege for GUIK and the latest HC_Euro_DB 1.

File Name: MCMForceNorth File Submitter: divefreak File Submitted: 8 Sep 2007 File Category: GIUK MCMForceNorth In the Baltic, especally in the northeast and east, there are many mines and torpedos laid or fired in WWII which have not yet been cleared. After the cold war, a multi-national Force has been sent. MCMForceNorth is one of the NATO standing naval forces. You must clear 5 mines at a minimum and 10 for total victory. Do not forget that we are in peacetime so do not shoot down a red plane or ship! Also neutral forces should not be involved in MCM action. Perhaps there is still another small bad surprise!
