Armoured carnage at Apocalypse Island. 
Mission Data: Competence level required: Advanced
              Mission Type: Invasion/ground clearance/sabotage
              Terrain: Grassland.
              Topography: Uneven to hilly
              Visibility level: Night to early morning.
              No. of tanks at your command: Four.

Scenario: 
Enemy forces have constructed a powerful "super"gun on an island close to
allied territory. Two nights ago, a small allied task force was dispatched
to the island to destroy the gun, but, as all contact with the group 
has been lost, it is suspected that the task force has succumbed to enemy 
fire and failed its mission. Air recon sorties flown over the area report 
evidence of intense conflict, including burnt out vehicles and explosion 
craters. Troop and vehicle movement has been spotted, but not positively 
identified as allied or enemy. 

Objective:
Command a battalion of four tanks to destroy the gun and clear the island
of enemy forces. 
Caution: Shells fired from the gun will inflict maximum damage on 
         your tanks.
         Check your targets - Allied tanks may still be 
         in operation. 

Section A:
 
 
   The last known position of the previous allied task force was a long
   trench due south of your current position. Final reports from the 
   island indicate that the trench is lined by enemy bunkers and the 
   entrance to the only bridge crossing it has been mined.
   
   Objective: Your tanks have been dropped off in various positions 
   around the island's northern coast. Proceed to the trench and 
   eliminate all enemy bunkers. Clear minefield and cross bridge. 
   DO NOT ENTER TRENCH.

   Poss. Targets: Infantry, Leopard Tanks and armoured vehicles.
   Apache gunships are sweeping the beaches so scramble tanks 1 & 2 
   as quickly as possible.
 
Section B:


   Enemy troops, trained to use high powered anti-tank weapons, are 
   being deployed from barracks situated in the centre of the island. 
   These troops represent a major threat to your mission.
   
   Objective: Head southwest from your current position. Destroy enemy 
   barracks. Move on east to second bridge.
   
   Poss. targets: Enemy troops entrenched on your route will be using 
                  the weapons mentioned above.
                  Apache gunships over head.
   
   Addition: radio transmissions emanating from an unknown point  
   on the island have been intercepted by allied equipment. It is 
   believed the enemy are trying to call for assistance...

Section C:


   Newly acquired satellite pictures of the island have revealed a group of 
   buildings where the enemy are believed to be constructing further 
   super-guns. 
   
   Objective: Neutralise the arms factory - due south west of your 
   current position - then head west to the third bridge. This bridge leads 
   to the super-gun emplacement.
   
   Poss. Targets: By destroying the radio base in the last section, you have 
                  prevented the enemy from calling for assistance. However, 
                  there are still hostile forces active in the area. 
                  Machine-gun bunkers line the route to the third bridge.
                  Leopard tanks patrol the vicinity.
             
Section D:


   You are now entering the vicinity of the super-gun emplacement. A radar
   base near the gun site is being used to detect and target allied war 
   ships in the waters around the island. 
   
   Objective: Neutralise the radar base and then the gun emplacement to 
   complete this mission.
   
   Addition:  Both sites will be well defended. Expect infantry, tanks
              and air support.

Section E:


   Newly acquired satellite pictures of the island have revealed a group 
   of buildings where the enemy are believed to be constructing further 
   "super" guns. 
   
   Objective: Neutralise the arms factory - due south east of your 
   current position - then head west to the third bridge. This bridge 
   leads to the super-gun emplacement.
   
   Caution: Machine-gun bunkers line the route to the third bridge.
            Leopard tanks patrol the vicinity.
   
   Addition: Because you failed to locate and destroy the radio base in 
   the last section, the enemy have called for assistance. As a result, 
   enemy forces will be present in much greater numbers on this phase of 
   your mission.
