  • Malta!

    If you read this on CDG, I just copied and pasted it. There's nothing new here, except for a link to my thread on CDG.

    MALTA!

    June 19th, 1984.

    Dom Mintoff, Prime Minister of Malta, leader of the Labour Party of Malta, suffered a stroke and died in office at the age of 67. Mintoff would in some ways be remembered as a hero of Malta, but others may remember him as the man who befriended Libya's military dictator Col. Mu'ammar Qadaffi.

    After Mintoff's death, a potential successor cannot be found, so Malta's House of Representatives called for a new election to be held the following month, in which two of Malta's veteran politicians step up for a fierce campaign. Coming to the surprise of many, the Maltese Nationalist Party candidate wins with 53 percent of the vote.

    On July 27th, 1984, Edward Adami became Prime Minister of Malta. In his first address to the nation, the new Prime Minister had stated that he wished to reconcile ties with the United States and the European Economic Community.

    A few weeks have passed since. The soothing waves of seawater crash against the rocks on Valetta's beaches, as to a distance a large freighter sailing from Libya begins to come into range of Malta. Such a sight is not uncommon in Malta, for Prime Minister Mintoff had been supportive of Col. Qadaffi's regime.

    This ship, however, is one of many...and it's not carrying oil or goods. Instead, thousands of Libyan soldiers are preparing for an amphibious assault on Malta's southern coastline!

    ...

    Can the Maltese, under your command, expel the invaders?

    or

    Can you lead the Libyans to a glorious victory?

    ...

    Find out in MALTA!

    Historical Background

    Dom Mintoff was the Prime Minister of Malta until he resigned in December of 1984. He was a socialist and a friend of Col. Qadaffi's.

    And believe it or not, he's still alive at the age of 88.

    Gameplay Features

    Malta's pro-Western government will be able to enlist the support of the USA, the UK, and more!

    Beware! Libya can do the same, and call on their allies! The Cubans, North Koreans, and maybe even more sinister characters will come to Qadaffi's aid...

    Additional Details

    Since actions cannot be directly changed, there will be house rules established for players to follow.

    Information and Credits

    I should have this done in a few days, hopefully. The only thing left I need is permission to use the great graphic works of curtsibling, Steph, Sarsstock, typhoon...and if I've forgotten your name, please forgive me. My memory just ain't what it used to be!

          Let me say that I am excited about this one!

          The chance to kick these mad Libyan fanatics into the sea will be a joy!

          Please make this one, rmsharpe!
          Your attention to detail is awesome, and I am very
          eager to see a scenario crafted in that fashion!

                Now that you mentioned it, I guess it really can't.
