From 1991.

As an exercise in Soviet carrier airpower, eliminate said base and a USN CVBG.

NOTE: Using the latest HC2011.013GE will eventually trigger an "AI Stopped Sub" error message that will later stop the game cold. However, It worked fine when I backtracked to the 2009.064 GE.

I've played this through over the last few days. The Soviet / Indian carrier group never saw much action, but for an attack by a improved LA class submarine, that damaged a support vessel. The air base at Trivandium at the southern tip of India was used for destroying Diego Garcia, as well as the US carrier strike group. There were 54 bombers with standoff missiles with a range of 250 miles (AS-6 Kitten or so?), which overwhelmed any defense the western forces could muster. Even the destruction of the carrier's F-14 force was easier than I thought with the MiG-31s from Trivandium. Overall a nice scenario, probably a bit easy to beat though.
