Strike Quick, 1999

NOTE: THIS SCENARIO HAS AIRCRAFT DAMAGE AND THUS REQUIRES CHAINS OF WAR IN ORDER TO FUNCTION. After a contentious budget battle, the F/A-18 now plays second fiddle to a reinvigorated Tomcat. With production of new Super Tomcats spooling up, the USMC has gotten modestly upgraded Navy birds to replace their A-6s. And just in time, for they are called to action. A semi-botched coup in the Philippines has led to the gruesome specter of multiple political factions engaged in a bloody fight for control. The US seeks to stop and intervene, and its closest aircraft are in Okinawa. No sooner have they been introduced than the Super Tomcats will receive their baptism of fire.
