ATTN:    ARM COMMANDERS NEAR LOCH 57
TIME:    4099.02.14.05.31
URGENCY: ALPHA OVERRIDE
TYPE:    PLAIN TEXT
SUBJECT: PREPARE FOR IMMINENT ATTACK!

Commander,

Due to the urgency of this communique, I'm sending it to you in plain text.

Loch 57 is in imminent danger of being attacked by CORE forces.  The following
message was just decrypted by ARM counterintelligence:

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
FROM:	 CORE SECURITY OPS
TO:	 OBSERVATION POST 412
ATTN:	 CORE COMMANDER 3615
TIME:    4099.02.14.05.21
URGENCY: HIGH
TYPE:	 CYPHER 315
SUBJECT: RECOMMEND IMMEDIATE ATTACK

Commander:

Close examination of the intelligence info you sent at 05.01 has revealed what
we believe to be an ARM vacation resort near coordinate 35.57 of planet 71.16.33
Terrain consists of large lightly forested hills surrounding a deep lake.  Metal
deposits are more concentrated around the shoreline of the lake.  Resort areas
exist at the points marked 1, 3, 5, and 7 on the following diagram of the sector

The resorts are classified as high priority targets, since their elimination
should seriously demoralize the ARM resistance forces.  Due to natural cover,
points 2 and 4 should be used to establish your initial bases.  The resorts are
heavily fortified, so building a quick force and surprising the ARM forces is 
essential to your success.  If reinforcements are required they should be
brought in at points 6 and 8.

These orders are to be carried out immediately, as we have received recent
evidence that ARM counterintelligence may have attained access to our encryption
codes.  We do not want to lose the element of surprise!

ARM Commanders, this is our chance to surprise them!  You are to immediately
prepare an ambush around points 2 and 4, followed closely by ambushes at points
6 and 8.  Also, protect the resorts at all costs.  We DO NOT want the CORE to
make a Mess of our Loch!

Mapname:	LochMess
Installation:	Extract LochMess.ufo into your TOTALA\ directory.  If you don't
		have Tamec.hpi then extract EG-Animations.hpi into your TOTALA\
		directory.
Multiplayer:    1v1: use positions 1 vs 2 or 1 vs 3
		2v2: To follow the story :) ARM at 1,3 vs CORE at 2,4; or try
			1,7 vs 3,5; 1,5 vs 3,7; 1,4 vs 2,3
		3v3: 1,4,7 vs 2,3,5 or 1,6,5 vs 3,7,8
		4v4: 1,4,6,7 vs 2,3,5,8
		4FFA: 1,3,5,7
		6FFA: 1,3,4,5,7,8
Computer AI:	A customized Switeck AI is included.  A CORE AI at position 2
		will almost always choose to go strictly naval.  For a better
		game vs 1 AI try using positions 3 or 4.  For a good challenge
		try playing against 3 allied AI, with CORE AI at position 2 and
		ARM AI at positions 3 and 4.
Resources:	Wind is fairly high, but variable.  Tidal strength is 30.
