The 26th new scenario of the year!

MATCHPLAY

Terrorist attacks on the Belgium Royal family have left the Dutch Crown Prince next in line to the throne of Belgium. Popular mourning and an uprising has quickly resulted into civil war between the French-speaking Walloons in southern Belgium and the Dutch-speaking Flemish in northern Belgium.

Holland has quickly moved ground forces into Belgium to assert its claim to the throne, while France has tried unsuccessfully to mobilise the UN. But as the Israelis showed in 1967, the UN cannot operate at the pace of modern warfare...

Matchplay #4 - Battle of Britain II



The purpose of this scenario is to investigate war between pretty much the entire military forces of two modern countries.

Holland has moved ground forces into Belgium and defeated French attempts to interfere. The Charles de Gaulle has been sunk and the French air force is licking its wounds.

The UN has authorised all members to take steps to reverse this situation and the UK has taken up the call of duty.

The 28th new scenario of the year!

New World Order battleset #3 - The Algerian Conflict - #1 SANDSTORM



In July 1994, the unrest in Algeria that had been simmering for years finally exploded into a major armed conflict. The terror campaign that had been carried out by Islamic extremists since the early 1990s, reached an awful crescendo when they finally seized power in the country. Algerian government forces, demoralized and fearful of repercussions against their families, lay down their arms and capitulated to the rebel army by August 1994. It did not take long for the new Islamic government to gain support from Iran and Libya for its anti-Western stance. A major program to build a powerful Algerian military was funded by trading oil to Russia for arms. In March 1995, Algerian forces began harassing Western ship traffic in the Western Mediterranean. On 27 August, 1995, a civilian airliner was hijacked by Islamic extremists. The hijackers were given sanctuary in Algeria and the passengers were held for ransom. A Coalition of Western nations responded.

This is a clandestine mission to rescue the hostages being held at Laghouat air base. Six CH-53 Sea Stallions, carrying a special operations team and flying from a Wasp-class LHD in the Western Mediterranean, will undertake the operation. French and Italian assets will attempt to keep Algerian and Libyan air forces pre-occupied.

The airliner has landed at Laghouat air base and the passengers have disembarked into the base barracks. Negotiations are underway, but expectations are not high.

The 31st new scenario of the year!

The tenth installment of the "21st CENTURY OCEAN WARS BATTLESET" battleset has been released.



When President Gorbachev was notified in 1989 of a plot to bring down the Berlin Wall later that year, he made several crucial strategic decisions. The Russian president decided to suppress the East-German revolt, speed up the privatisation and efficiency focus in the Russian state industries, and invest in maintenance, spare parts, and training for the military.

For President Bush and his successors, the emergence of an Eastern European market and the stabilisation of the Middle East meant they could peacefully cooperate with, though quitely dislike, Russia. However, Europe found itself more and more at odds with President Gorbachev and his direct successor Putin.

At the end of 2004 NATO, found itself opposing a high quality Russian military. Early in November, Putin started moving 25 divisions towards the border with Germany. Icelandic politicians had ended the defence pact with the US and closed Kevlavik air force base under pretense of noise pollution. The GIUK gap was now wide open.

On the 21st of November, US and UK subs reported SSBNs withdrawing towards their ports on the Kola peninsula, but also reported many modern SSNs surging towards the GIUK Gap. They were ordered to tail these subs and NATO started to organise a convoy system on cross-Atlantic routes. By November 26th, the United Nations and back-channel diplomacy had reached a crucial stage. A war, for which there is no clear reason, may still be averted but is looming. NATO orders its forces to be vigilant but to keep Weapons Tight in this crucial phase of diplomacy.

NORDKAPP

Prior to war breaking out, a small Dutch Task force of frigates delivered the Dutch Marines to Finnmark. Having trained there for years, several companies of Marines have joined their Norwegian and British counterparts to await the expected Russian attack into Finnmark.

The 33rd new scenario of the year! Another scenario straight from the headlines!

Katyusha



Syrian-backed Hezbollah is raining Katyusha rockets on Northern Israel. Israeli intelligence suggests that Hezbollah has over 10,000 such rockets flown in daily through Damascus from Tehran. Iran has an advanced missile program building anti-ship missiles and ground-attack missiles of various ranges and with ever-increasing accuracy. Katyusha is a terror weapon, but if Iran decides to supply Hezbollah with modern missiles and advanced guidance packages, then Israel is really in trouble. The Israeli government has decided that this threat warrants a pre-emptive strike on the missile manufacturing plants in Iran.

The 34th new scenario of the year! Another scenario straight from the headlines!

UNIFIL



After a month-long war in Southern Lebanon which saw thousands dead and thousands of Katyusha rockets landing in Israel, the UN Security Council has accepted resolution 1702.


Israel's deep strike on Iranian WMD sites has done nothing to reduce the threat from Hezbollah. It's all up to UNIFIL, now.


The UN mandate is to:


1. Enforce a cease-fire in Lebanon

2. Disarm/destroy Hezbollah in Lebanon

3. Implement an arms embargo against Israel and Hezbollah

4. Prevent IDF missions into Lebanon


France and Italy (both with long heritage in the Middle East) are leading the coalition which, for the first time ever, contains Army, Navy, and Air Force elements.

BLOCKADE



This scenario follows UNIFIL.

After a month-long war in Southern Lebanon which saw thousands of Katyusha rockets landing in Israel, the UN Security Council has enforced resolution 1702.

Israel's deep strike on Iranian WMD sites has done nothing to reduce the threat from Hezbollah.

UNIFIL is fully deployed with France and Italy providing ground forces, and Germany, Denmark and Greece providing Navy ships to prevent weapon resupply to Hezbollah.

REMAIN CALM: #2 POISON OASIS
New World Order Battleset #3: Algerian Conflict

A Coalition of Western nations responded.

SitREP:

The rescue attempt was successful. The hostages were freed, but not without cost. Four troopers were killed and 27 more were wounded in the operation. To make matters worse, two of the Sea Stallions were damaged by ground fire and crashed on final approach to the Kearsarge! Helicopters are currently busy pulling survivors from the water.

These two scenarios have also been tested for compatibility with Harpoon3 v3.6.3

CRUISE CONTROL



This scenario follows Katyusha.

After a month-long war in Southern Lebanon which saw thousands of Katyusha rockets landing in Israel, the UN Security Council has enforced resolution 1702.

With Lebanon weakened and unstable, Syria felt it was in her best interests to occupy the country. Beirut has come under attack and Western nations are coordinating a massive effort to repatriate their citizens.

NICOBAR WALTZ



For reasons which are not entirely clear, Indonesia has invaded and occupied part of the Nicobar Islands.

Normally, the United States would leave the matter to India, but, by unhappy coincidence, the Indonesians chose to invade while an American film company was on Car Nicobar shooting scenes for a movie. In the confusion of battle, there were a number of American casualties, including two popular young American starlets (one of them a friend of the President's own children and a frequent visitor to the White House). A few days later, an amateur video showing the bodies of Americans killed in the attack surfaced on the internet.

To make matters worse, the Indonesians have refused to release those Americans who survived the attack; the Indonesians are holding them as hostages to prevent American involvement in the conflict.

With American public opinion inflamed, the President has little choice but to act. Whether the Indians like it or not, America will be taking the Nicobar Islands back for them.

This scenario is a re-make of a Harpoon Classice scenario written by Mark Gellis. It has been re-made into Harpoon3 with permission from the author.

The 40th new scenario of the year!

"IN EVERY CLIME AND PLACE"



A Cold War scenario with NATO attempting an amphibious landing somewhere on the coast of Norway.

The passages of the Greenland-Iceland-United Kingdom [GIUK] Gap remain an intense focal point even in time of peace.

The GIUK Gap is THE single most significant choke point for Russian merchant and naval shipping. These waters are also rich with abundant fishing areas and valuable mineral deposits and disputes regarding them are common. The resources that Russian once counted on are no longer guaranteed and a hungry Bear is a dangerous thing, indeed. At the same time, the Western Democracies are scrapping their naval assets faster than they built them in the 1980s.

The potential for armed conflict remains very real.

The choke-point nature of the geography dictates that the GIUK will remain a very busy place in terms of submarines and ASW operations with land-based aircraft playing a major role. The ubiquitous Tu-95 Bear and the omnipresent P-3 Orion remain prominent and, with the proximity of numerous land bases, you will also find the Atlantique, the May, and the Nimrod; each a major player in either closing or holding open the door to the Atlantic.

Duration: 72 hours

This scenario is a re-make of a Harpoon Classic scenario from the Harpoon Designers Series II and has been re-made for Harpoon 3 with the consent of AGSI.

SECRET // H75101 //

Subj: Operation Northern Frost

1. The CIS controls the Norwegian Sea and CIS submarines are moving freely into the Atlantic. Convoys are suffering from prosecution by submarines with many ships being sunk. CIS airpower over the Norwegian Sea is strong.

2. TF 88.9 is ordered to conduct operation Northern Frost, the amphibious landing at Bodo, Norway. TF 45.2 is ordered to sail into the Norwegian Sea and conduct Air, ASW, and ASuW operations to clear the way for TF 88.9. Airbase Keflavik and Kinloss are cleared to support TF 88.9 in objective.

3. Intelligence estimates enemy position in Norwegian Sea is very strong. Beware of aerial and subsurface threats. Most Norwegian bases are operational and used by CIS air force. The surface threat is unknown at this time, but is believed to be in Murmansk.

Also, another scenario has been tested for compatibility with the ANW game engine:

CARRIER PLAY



This is the second scenario of the MATCHPLAY battleset. It is playable from French side.

UN has enforced a cease-fire after a day of hyper war.

The Department of Defence has announced that around 60 Dutch F-16 fighters and a frigate have been destroyed. While the Dutch divisions in Belgium have been hit hard, reinforcements have taken their place and Flanders is firmly in Dutch hands. BDA suggests that our air force have destroyed the tarmac, revetments, and hangars in Florennes and destroyed all Belgian F-16s based there.

The amphibious landings on Walcheren failed within sight of their objectives. All four landing ships were damaged and Jeanne d'Arc had to be towed clear of the area and is now in drydock.

A shock has gone through the French press as the losses are becoming apparent; 150 of our best front-line fighters destroyed, as well as two of the priceless AEW planes. Never in the history of French war has there been such a bloody defeat against an enemy that, apart from a recent struggle with Norway over oil (see OILFIRE.SCN), has only practiced war, not waged it.

The Navy has been hit hard, as well. Apart from the damage to Jeanne d'Arc, 10 frigates and destroyers were lost. The 10 Rafale fighters have done well before they were shot down and a few replacements have been found straight from the production line.

The worst stain on French honour was that the Marines embarked on the damaged heavy lift vessels had to surrender and became prisoners of war in Belgium.

The French Atlantic fleet has basically been annihilated with only some nuclear submarines remaining. Reinforcements are desperately needed.
