IMPORTANT: When you install this scenario, the files for each are put
into separate sub-directory. They absolutely MUST stay that way. The
same goes for any scenario games you save. When you save a scenario
game (even if you do so using the Autosave function), that save file
goes into the directory with that scenario. When the time comes to
load the file, look for it in the scenario directory, not in the
normal Civilization II directory.
I recommand that copy the files to a sub-durectory,such as "STRAITS",
run CIV2, and load the scenario "1949.SCN", "823.SCN", "T-DAY.SCN",
"HK97.SCN", and "SOT.SCN".

II. Background
-------------------

These five scenarios are my foretell for Asian-Pacific area.

1. The battle of Hwaihai
   -- 1949.2~1954.1
   When the Communist Chinese captured Peking as its new capital,
it seems to be a new dynasty in the Chinese history except a last
victory. Could you use CPLA who has only infantry to win the
Nationalist force who were armed with aircrafts and artillery?
Your job -- Unites China under the flag of Mao's.
Be Warned -- Only the United States posess NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

2. Mao's Ambition
   -- 1954.8~1959.7
   After the end of Korean War, Mao Tse-Tung continues to plan the 
unification of China by forces against Nationalist Chinese. But in 
Vietnam communists would face US army again. Could Mao's dream come
true?
Your job -- Unites China, Vietnam, and Korea from the occupation of 
Imperialist America.
Be Warned -- Only the United States posess NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

3. T-Day: Extra-August 1995
   -- 1995.7~1997.12
   In 1949, after the Peoples Republic of China was founded by
Chairman Mao Tse-Tung, Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek and his
nationalists' government as the Republic of China fled mainland
China to live on the island of Taiwan, located southeast of China.
Since then, the People's Republic of China has considered the the
citizens and their democratic government that of a "renegade
province." In the past, both governments agreed that their final
goal was re-unification. However, in recent years, the native
Taiwanese President Lee Teng-hui has been rumored to favor
independence from the Chinese in light of Taiwan's booming economy
and increasing position on the world scene. Infuriating China by
visiting his alma mater in the United States, Lee is up for
re-election in 1996. The Communist Chinese government, led by Deng
Xiaoping, began military manuevers in the Straits of Taiwan in order
to sway the election results inthe favor of a more conservative
candidate.
   In response to the alarm of other Asian countries i.e. Japan,
Singapore, ASEAN, the United States has put the Seventh Fleet of the
Navy on alert and has ordered the battle group of the USS Independence
to Taiwan. This American "gunboat diplomacy" increased Beijing's anger,
and word of a Chinese invasion of Taiwan began to circulate.
Your job -- to assure the safety of Japan, ASEAN, Singapore, the British
Commonwealth and Taiwan, and to reassert the power of the United States
in Asia.
Be Warned -- Both China and the United States posess NUCLEAR WEAPONS.

4. Hong Kong, CHINA
   -- 1997.7~2001.8
   After 1st July 1997, the People's Republic of China resumes its
sovereign in the British Crown Colony of Hong Kong, and founds the Hong
Kong Special Administrative Region as a part of China. President Jiang
Ze-Min hopes to reunify Taiwan after the recession of Macao to China.
But Taiwan do not hope the same one.
   The other Pacific countries worried that an unification between
China and Hong Kong will make PRC more powerful especially in Asia, but
they also do not hope to irritate this powerful China. Meanwile, the
financial crisis began in AESAN. This crisis is the first step of the
Great Asian Financial Disaster.
Your job -- to assure the safety of Japan, ASEAN, Singapore and Taiwan,
and to reassert the power of the United States in Asia.
Be Warned -- China, Russia, and the United States posess NUCLEAR
WEAPONS!

5. The Son of Taiwan
   -- 2000.5~2004.6
   Chen Shui-Bian, a native pro-independent Taiwanese politican, was
elected as the President of the Republic of China. Beijing is very angry
for this election and fights against Taiwanese separatists. With the
help from Russia, the Chinese People's Liberation Army is more strong
than any other period before. Could the United States still win CPLA?
Your job -- to assure the safety of Japan, ASEAN, and Taiwan, and to
reassert the power of the United States in Asia.
Be Warned -- China, Russia, India, and the United States posess NUCLEAR
WEAPONS!
