Kolkata Thresher, 1982

In 1982, General Hussain Muhammad Ershad came to power in Bangladesh after a coup removed President Abdus Sattar from power. This scenario assumes that, instead of the bloodless coup that actually took place, Bangladesh has collapsed into civil war between the supporters of Ershad and the supporters of Sattar. In addition, China has provided material support to Sattar in the hopes of turning Bangladesh into an ally against India. India has responded by providing assistance to Ershad. Increasingly, India is frustrated with the situation. It sees China as adding to the political instability in the region and as contributing to the amount of human suffering the civil war in Bangladesh has created. In recent weeks, its warnings to China have included the suggestion that action may be taken against Chinese vessels delivering further military supplies to the rebels in Bangladesh. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Notes A delta template .ini file has been included with the .zip file so that one can more easily upgrade the scenario to any future versions of the database.
