The 72nd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



Ambuscade for the Illustrious

"During the weeks of crisis prior to the war's outbreak, British naval forces began assembling into task groups, "just in case the balloon goes up." As part of the process, intensive ASW exercises were held to shake down the units and get them used to working together. In peacetime, such surface forces are often trailed by hostile submarines. Both sides get to practice."

This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "Battles of the Third World War" compilation from Game Designers' Workshop.

The 73rd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



Gatekeeper

The GIUK gap is one of the most important pieces of naval real estate in the world. These straits connect the Norwegian Sea and the Atlantic Ocean. Because NATO owns it, Soviet forces will have to run through a barrier of ASW defenses before they can reach their targets in the Atlantic. At the beginning of the war, the Soviets are surging large numbers of submarines through the GIUK gap. It is vital to the Soviet that they get through to attack NATO convoys and naval forces operating in the Atlantic. It is easier for NATO to find and destroy these subs before they reach the open ocean. If NATO can erect a barrier of units here, they can catch some of the Soviet subs trying to get into the Atlantic to attack the units operating there. NATO will use submarines, maritime patrol aircraft, and surface ships to destroy these subs. Some Soviet subs, possibly damaged or with their torpedoes and missiles expended, will be moving north. These units are valuable to the Soviets, but not as valuable as the combat-ready subs moving south.

The 74th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



Courrier Entrant

The Soviets have two weapons that can reach NATO convoys in the Atlantic: submarines and aircraft. Long-range strike bombers on the Kola peninsula can attack at will with Iceland in Soviet hands. A standard convoy includes 40-50 merchant ships spaced 1nm apart in a rectangular latticework. Eight to ten escorts, and, if they are lucky, a helicopter carrier will provide protection from submarines and air attack.

Here, a large NATO convoy has been detected by a Soviet Radar Ocean Reconnaissance Satellite (RORSAT) and Tu-95 Bear Ds are sent out to pinpoint their position. Following closely behind the Bears are two squadrons of Backfire bombers.

This could be a very bad day for NATO...

The 75th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



Doolitov's Raid [H3.6.3]

NATO has committed massive amounts of air power to the land campaigns in Norway and on the Central Front in Europe. As a result, the Soviets are finding it tough going in these theatres. If they can successfully strike behind the lines in much the same way the US did to Japan during World War II and inflict serious damage on the cities and NATO bases on the British Isles, NATO will be forced to withdraw air assets from the front lines to better defend the British home turf.

The 1st NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



Beachhead Breakout

Almost a week after the initial landings on San Carlos, UK forces broke out of their beachhead. 2nd Para captured Goose Green in a daring raid and 42 Commando started moving east towards Port Stanley while 5th Infantry Brigade was being unloaded and supplied.

A severe weather front forced most amphibious ships to withdraw to open seas and grounded all air operations. Most troops on the ground saw this as a much-needed interruption from the continuous Argentine air attacks.

The 12th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



Fortress Keflavik

Iceland is a vital base for NATO anti-submarine and air defense operations. Soviet bombers operating in the Norwegian Sea or trying to reach the Atlantic can be attacked by patrol planes based at Keflavik. It is critical to the Soviets to stop these operations against them by the NATO forces based in Iceland. They will do this either by using bomber raids to reduce the effectiveness of these forces or attempting to take control of the island. Since Iceland has no armed forces of its own, and strictly limits the armed forces of the NATO countries that occupy Keflavik, an assault by Soviet forces is probable.

The 14th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



A Tale of Two Carriers - Part 2

This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".

"The French Navy was at full alert status. On 13 July, the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean fleet VADM Jean-Claude Ricaud, had raised his flag aboard the aged carrier, Foch at Toulon. Several submarines and destroyers had already deployed to the south.

The Soviet submarine campaign in the Western Mediterranean began promisingly enough at 0345 when a Kilo-class diesel boat torpedoed the French destroyer Aconit off the north coast of Sardinia."

Ambush

Soviet Attack on a NATO Carrier Battle Group

NATO intends to reinforce Iceland's defenses by stationing a carrier battle group in the area. Once the carrier arrives, the combination of forces at Iceland will be almost impossible to penetrate. The Soviets want to prevent this and feel that they must sink the carrier before it reaches Iceland.
