Operation Bayern, 1965

Tanzania became independent of Great Britain in the early 1960s. Its President, Julius Nyerere, believed socialism was the best path for his country. This scenario assumes that the Soviet Union replaced Nyerere with a puppet leader they could control and set about turning Tanzania into a militarized "African Cuba." With an ally like this in East Africa, the Soviets believed they could more easily influence events in the Indian Ocean, the Persian Gulf, and the Middle East. President Johnson considers this unacceptable. However, rather than just wait for Tanzania to become a new Soviet fortress in the Third World, Johnson intends to nip the problem in the bud. ------------------------------------------------------- "Bayern" is simply the code name for the operation. It was chosen randomly. It has nothing to do with the German region of Baveria. A delta template .ini file has been included in the .zip file to assist in updating the scenario to any future versions of the database. Scenario Author: Mark Gellis
