Splendid George, 1985

In 1985, an attempted coup took place in Guinea. In history, Guinea's ruler, Lansana Conté, quelled the uprising and had about 100 conspirators executed. This included the leader of the attmepted coup, former Prime Minister Diarra Traoré. This scenario assumes that Traoré was able to escape with part of his organization intact. Six months after the coup attempt, they remain a threat, having established a fairly successful guerilla operation against Guinea's government. In addition, he has been able to secure military aid from the Soviet Union. The United States does not wish to risk a global war with the Soviet Union, and has not tried to blockade the rebel port at Kamsar. However, the United States has no qualms about attacking the rebels themselves. The American plan, in fact, is to weaken the rebels enough to allow the military of Guinea to defeat them. The Soviets, for their part, seem content to arm the rebels and have not attempted to attack the Guinean military. ------------------------------------------------------------------ A delta template .ini file has been included in the .zip file to assist in updating the scenario to future versions of the database.
