Mission Description:
--------------------
As you are aware a few weeks ago, NOD, employing a combination of military 
force and political double dealing, successfully captured mainland Britain.  
NOD forces are now in striking range of all our European facilities. I'm 
sure I don't need to spell out just how dangerous this situation could 
become Commander. 

NOD are not, as yet, in full control of the island but their grip strengthens
with every passing day. It is vital that the UK is liberated as quickly as 
possible.
We have concentrated a large seabourne force in northern France forcing Kane's
generals to respond by massing forces on the English south coast. 
Consequently there are weaknesses elsewhere, we intend to exploit one such
weakness.
The English east coast is currently protected by a massive curtain of coastal
mines making access by ship or hovercraft impossible. The coastal batteries,
however are not yet in place. It is here that we have decided to attack.
The NOD area Commander is Colonel James Ash. You have met before, you 
gave him quite a mauling in the Polish campaign. He now commands elements of
NODS 5th Air-Mobile Division known as the Mantis Division. His forces are 
somewhat depleted and he has restocked from captured GDI equipment from our 
East Anglian Garrisons. We do know he has ample air transport and armour 
but his infantry units are severely under strength, try to exploit this. 
Knowing Kanes tolerance of failure if you defeat Ash he may be removed from
the chain of command permanently. 

An hour ago an elite force of Dutch and British Commandos landed on the Essex 
coast at the mouth of the Stour estuary to establish your landing site. 
your units will be air-dropped into  the battle zone. Establish a base and
remove the NOD presence from the area. Kane has threatened to execute 
all civilians in any landing site, so do your best to protect the local 
inhabitants, but remember, eradication of NOD forces is the prime mission
objective. Intelligence has reported a large power complex to the west 
of the drop zone its capture may hamper NOD's defences.

Once the estuary is under our control we can clear the mines and begin full 
scale landings

The Chinooks are loaded and ready to go.
Good Luck.
Commander

Please feel free to use this level as a basis for others. 

This is my first attempt at a C&C level please let me know what you think.               
This is the first in series of missions. I hope to create a campaign 
based on the liberation of the UK.
