Polar Wars - The Rules

[perttime]

A night early in 1991 has stuck to my mind. Must have been 17 January. I was on a Government temp job (UN Interim Force in Lebanon). Coalition attack on Iraq had just begun and Iraq started launching Scuds against Israel. There was a chance that they might have chemical weapons. When there were missiles heading towards northern Israel, UNIFIL got the warning too. Some time in the very early hours, I woke up to "Gas Gas Gas!" Mask on, suit on, boots on, grab my rifle, and head for my station in the Ops building.

A couple of days later, it was determined that a chemical weapon was unlikely to fall right on top of us, and we no longer had to suit up if missiles were heading for Haifa.
