Trouble at Trevelyan, 2023

This scenario assumes that the economic troubles facing the European Union have continued and that tensions between member nations have increased. In particular, tensions have increased between France and Portugal. Portuguese fishing boats have repeatedly violated areas near the Trevelyan Escarpment in the Bay of Biscay, which France has designated as a marine preserve to help restore fish populations destroyed by overfishing. France has warned Portugal that something must be done or it will be forced to take action against Portuguese fishing boats violating the preserve. Portugal has moved a warship into the Bay of Biscay "to observe the situation, to maintain law and order, to preserve the peace, and to protect the rights of Portuguese citizens." ------------------------------------------------------- It is worth noting that this scenario is a "police action" rather than a "military action." Generally speaking, one is not supposed to sink fishing boats even if they are violating marine preserves. If you reach the point where you actually have to shoot at someone, it probably means you have done something wrong. 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
