Supplies


The concept was that several teams would converge on an island in a remote part of the Pacific Ocean.


Each team would be a "national" team, composed of "troops" from the same country.  I intended each player to get a few dozen army men from a single country and convert them to a civilian team.


The team could use any weapons or equipment except, no explosive weapons, no crew served weapons, no flame weapons, no motor vehicles or flying machines.  They would be dropped off at the island and ferry from the ship to shore in whale boats.


A week later they would be picked up the same way.  Their mission was to document the flora and fauna on the island.  Take photos, drawings, samples, specimens for later examination.


The only access was across a reef to a narrow beach at the base of a cliff.  Everything would have to be carried up the cliff.


I got several boxes of supplies to make a supply dump for my team.  I anticipated teams from the UK, Soviet Union, France, perhaps, Italy, Germany and the USA.  My team was from "Hollywood."  The time period was just after World War Two so each group could be composed of combat veterans and have the needed skills to live in the wild and function well in an emergency.


The teams were given a year on paper, to gather supplies, train their teams and coordinate transportation to the South Pacific.
