OPERATION HANOI



Players Premier, 1990



It is 1985. You are an officer in the freedom army of Ching Lai, the heroic

general who led your country to rise and overthrow its oppressive imperialist

overlords. Now that peace has finally settled over the land, after generations

of conflict, starvation, and desperation, you must go and help your kindred

fellows of Campuchia, separated from you only by the unnatural barriers of a

political border. They have been invaded by the malevolent forces of the

despotic dictator Lee Ho Fook. Villages have been razed to the ground, and

crops burnt. These conditions have forced the population to work under

conditions of slavery in the Jade mines that Lee Ho Fook is plundering in

order to sell to unscrupulous Middle Eastern arms dealers who, in return,

are supplying the parts to a new super-tank, disguised as mechanical parts

for an oil refinery. With this super-tank, Lee intends to subjugate the

surrounding territories. This despot will stop at nothing to fuel the fires

of his insane lust for power.



You are to lead a small, but stealthy, commando force, to capture and destroy

the super-tank. Success in your mission will lead to the end of Lee Ho Fook's

tyrannical dictatorship. Failure will surely lead not only to the continued

enslavery of the people of Campuchia, but also to the subjugation of the

surrounding lands. Before you embark on your mission you are summoned to a

private audience at Ching Lai's presidential palace. He wishes you good luck,

but also tells you that there is no point in you returning home without success.



Playing Instructions



Armed only with your automatic rifle and a handful of grenades, you and your

men must make your way to the Port of Cheduba where the super-tank is in

emplacement. On the way you must cross the Mekong River at its narrowest

point. This will involve you overrunning the Ngoc Liah garrison. After this

you must traverse the dangerous jungle of Toule Sap, where you are likely

to encounter Lee's guerilla forces. If you can overcome them you must make your

way to Cheduba to capture and destroy the super-tank.
