USMC Meeting Engagement*
___________vs.*
South Carolina National Guard*

Date: August 17, 1999.*
Location: Grover, South Carolina.*
*
The growing rift between the southern states and the federal government
has reached a tragic impasse. When 32 senators and over 150 congressmen
walk out of the capitol, the situation becomes critical.
The military also feels the strain. A strong Marine contingent is ordered
from Paris Island, South Carolina, to go to Columbia and establish Marshal
Law. One of the Marine tank platoons is now equipped with the latest model
of the M1A2 tank. It will now be put in a battle of brother against brother.*
*
Intercepting the orders, the governor of South Carolina is forced to act.
The National Guard of South Carolina, already mobilized, is now ordered
to intercept and detain the advancing Marines.
National guard forces from Columbia and Charleston meet up with
the federal force on Interstate 95 near Grover, just north of the Edisto
River. The Marine commander refuses to recognize the "halt in place" order
from the State forces. A showdown is about to take place.*

Number of Turns: 10.*

The USMC is suggested for the human player.*
