IveyBlair has released a new scenario. It uses the older EC2000 GIUK Battleset. However, when combined with the latest HCG game engine, it is one tough scenario. Congratulations IveyBlair and thanks for sharing your work with us.

GIUK GAP - EC2000 GIUK

The Russians have occupied Norway and Iceland. Heavy fighting has depleted assets on both sides. NATO forces have only one carrier and the airbase at Leuchars RAF available in the North Atlantic. Russian strength is unknown but intelligence estimates that one SAG is present along with a number of submarines. The Russians have reinforced their air bases in Norway. It is expected that the Russian expeditionary force in Iceland has at least one SS-21 launcher.

8th Scenario posted since Christmas!

Fred Galano has released a new scenario to help celebrate the Beta release of the new Harpoon Classic 2005. I had the pleasure of trying it and it is another super challenging offering by one of the community's masters.

While I was enjoying it, the Steeler's Wheel song, _Stuck in the Middle with You_, kept running through my head except with the words slightly changed. It went something like:

MedWar1 - EC2003 MEDC

The Eastern Mediterranean has erupted into chaos. Israel's enemies Syria and Libya have decided to wipe Israel from the map. Meanwhile, the Egyptian government has been accused by Libya of being "a traitor to the Arab cause" and is massing troops along the common border. Intelligence sources have been observing an increase in readiness levels of both Libya and Syria in the past few months. In addition, both governments have purchased a large amount of Soviet equipment.

In an unforeseen development, Soviet paratroopers and Marines have taken over the Suez Canal zone in a "caretaker and peacekeeping" mission in order to "protect the canal until regional tension abates." The United Nations has condemned this action and is demanding the withdrawal of Soviet forces from the region. Intelligence sources have observed a large number of Soviet reserve forces being mobilized and returned to active service. In addition several Northern Fleet units have entered the Mediterranean Sea supposedly headed towards Sevastopol for overhaul. Contact has been lost with these units.

Fred Galano found himself snowed in by the latest blizzard. So, like any good Harpoon player, he spent the time wisely and created a new scenario for us to enjoy! Here's to more snow for Fred. May you be hit by a blizzard every weekend.

COLDNO1 - EC2003 NACV – Cold North

The Russian military has been experiencing a loss of discipline and an increase in the number of desertions and mutinies among its ranks brought on by little or no pay and loss of morale. Of late, several older ex-Soviet warships that were laid up prior to de-commissioning have turned up missing. More disturbing is the fact that the ammunition for these warships stored in a nearby warehouse, prior to their destruction, has also turned up missing.

In another development, Oil has been discovered in and around the coast of northern Greenland and several oil rigs and a base camp have been set up. Contact has been lost with the whole operation. It is feared that an unknown force has seized the facilities. NATO has been tasked to investigate

MCMForceNorth – EC2003 GIUK

In the Baltic, especally in the northeast and east, there are many mines and torpedos laid or fired in WWII which have not yet been cleared. After the cold war, a multi-national Force has been sent. MCMForceNorth is one of the NATO standing naval forces.

You must clear 5 mines at a minimum and 10 for total victory. Do not forget that we are in peacetime so do not shoot down a red plane or ship! Also neutral forces should not be involved in MCM action. Perhaps there is still another small bad surprise!

SubHunt – EC2003 GIUK

The Baltic Sea has long been a highly disputed area. With Soviet claims for access to the Atlantic independent of the ice region, this is unlikely to change in the future. Unfortunately, the Baltic is also a strategic waterway; providing a key maritime link between Russian oil fields, coal mines, and their foreign customers.

It has many choke points such as the Cadet channel, Copenhagen / the belt, and sound areas, for example. The former Soviet Baltic Fleet was caught in a big Mousetrap. Only their submarines could some times try to escape through the only deep waterway. Therefore, it was one of the most important tasks for the German and Danish Navies to keep the Warsaw Pact Navies within this trap.

Here, in this scenario, some red diesel subs try to make it througt the belt waters out to the Kattegat. NATO is going to stop them. The time of this scenario is somewhere in 1970-1980; so no modern ASW-weapons are available.

Last Tango in Portsmouth – EC2003 GIUK

It is 1990 and the world is at war. England is in jeopardy. As in the last two World Wars, the enemy is attempting to bring England to its knees by denying it access to the sea lanes and to the food and oil that an island nation of seventy million people must have to avoid starvation and industrial collapse.

As part of the war effort, convoys carrying food, oil, and goods are in transit from the United States to England. And, as one might expect, the Soviet Union is very interested in making sure these ships never reach the British Isles.

Mark Gellis has posted the 24th scenario of the year. Looks like another barnburner. Thanks for sharing it with us, Mark!

Continental Connection - BAT10B11 - EC2003 GIUK

A few years in the future... French intelligence operatives have learned that Russia plans to sell a number of older tactical nuclear weapons to their allies in the Third World. The European Union has demanded that Russia abandon the plan. Russia has responded by insisting that the French have been mis-led by unreliable sources. However, satellite photographs reveal that a convoy consisting of Russian warships and merchants has just entered the Norwegian Sea.

All available E.U. forces (including Danish aircraft that have been scrambled to Vagar) are directed to patrol the Norwegian Sea and intercept a Russian convoy believed to be escorting a merchant vessel carrying nuclear weapons for sale in the Third World. Get it here .

Mark Gellis has posted the 26th scenario of the year!

The plot for this one sounds as though it was ripped from the latest newspaper headlines. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Kilo Krush – BAT10D1 - EC2003 MEDC

A few years in the future... Libya has purchased two Kilo-class submarines from Russia. The European Union does not wish the transfer to take place. There is serious concern in the E.U. that the new government of Libya is too hostile to the West and that these submarines represent a potential threat the European merchant fleets and military forces.

Libya refuses to reconsider the deal, claiming that since it has abandoned its WMD programs, it has every right to expand its conventional forces. (In fact, there are persistent indications that Libya is again involved in terrorism and the development of chemical and even nuclear weapons.)

Russia has declared that the E.U. has no right to interfere with its arms deals. It has also issued a stern warning that, since Russian crews are currently on board the Kilos, any attack against these submarines will be seen as an attack on Russia. The United States is remaining neutral on this issue. Get it here .

29th Scenario posted this year!

Mark Gellis has posted another challenging scenario. Thanks for sharing your work with the community.

Operation Spanish Fury - BAT10D2 - EC2003 MEDC

A few years in the future... Revolutions in Algeria, Libya, and Egypt have left these countries in the grip of radical Islamic governments that are hostile to the United States and the European Union.

In recent months, there have been a number of terrorist attacks in Spain. While the Algerian government is not directly responsible for these attacks, they have fostered an atmosphere of hatred against the E.U. and they have done nothing to prevent terrorists from organizing and training in their country. Spain has decided to destroy three command bunkers in Algeria in retaliation for the recent terrorist attacks. The purpose of this attack is not only to reduce the effectiveness of the Algerian military but also to send their government a message.

Cool scenario. Thanks, Mark.

Mark Gellis has released the 33rd scenario of the year. From Cold War to Cod War.

Emerald Action – BAT10C3 - EC2003 GIUK



Recent ecological factors have led to the collapse of fish populations around the world. The European Union has decided to treat certain regions of the Atlantic Ocean as "fallow zones" in the hopes that fish populations will recover and a worldwide food crisis will be avoided. Not all nations recognize these Fallow Zones, though...

Norwegian fishing boats have once again entered Fallow Zones to the west of Ireland. Irish forces are directed to locate these fishing boats and seize them; if they attempt to flee, sink them. These boats must not be allowed to return to Norway. Norway is aware that the E.U. is ready to use force against its fishing boats. A Norwegian frigate may be on patrol in these waters. Avoid this warship. She carries anti-surface missiles and your vessels are unlikely to survive an encounter with her.

Mark Gellis has published the 36th scenario of the year.

Looks like another episode in the Global War on Terror. Thanks for sharing it with the community.



Roman Thunder – ALBAT10A - EC2003 MEDC

A few years in the future... Tensions between Algeria and the E.U. have increased. Algeria is now controlled by a religious dictatorship that is hostile to the West. The E.U. believes Algeria is responsible for several recent terrorist attacks in Europe. Current thinking in Europe is that the most likely solution to the problem is regime change.

Intelligence officers have been in communication with a coalition of rebel groups in Algeria--it would probably be too much to call them pro-Western, but they would certainly be an improvement over the current lot. They will view an E.U. attack as a signal to initiate their own attacks against the Algerian government. If the rebels can overthrow the current regime, it may mark the start of a period of improved relations with Algeria.

37th Scenario of the year posted!

Qian Kong Kuai: a new scenario for the Westpac theater



"The Senkaku/Diaoyu islands comprise small volcanic islands and three rocky outcrops at the eastern edge of the East China Sea. The dispute between China and Japan over their sovereignty goes back 500 years, and with the potential of huge offshore oil and gas reserves in the region, shows no sign of resolution. Now China has begun to exploit the resource, and Japan has responded in kind. Now that the Taiwan and Korea questions have been answered, China feels daring enough to enforce its claim on the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. Once again, competing economic interests in dangerous proximity result in military action."

Nicobar Vengeance - WestPac Battleset



A few years in the future...

Friction has been growing between Indonesia and its neighbors. Among other issues, Indonesia claims that other nations have been illegally fishing in its waters while other nations accuse Indonesia of not doing enough to reduce piracy.

Four days ago, an Indonesian submarine in the waters between the Nicobar islands and Sumatra sunk an Indian merchant that it mistook for a commercial fishing boat. Sixteen Indian sailors were killed in the incident.

40th scenario posted this year!

STRIKE - EC2003 GIUK Battleset



FROM: COMMANDER WESTERN APPROACHES
TO: COMMANDER 111TFW, LAKENHEATH AFB
SUBJECT: STRIKE ORDERS

SITREP: The strike two days ago by NATO submarines against Soviet naval bomber bases and Soviet AF bomber bases on the Kola Peninsula was not as successful as SacLant had hoped. However, we are presented with a golden opportunity to hit them again since heavy weather has closed their bases. With Strike Fleet currently tied down just south of the Narvik line while trying to re-arm and filter Pact sub forces, our only chance is to strike them hard with USAF tactical fighter bombers.

ORDERS: Using 60 bombers from your wing, fly with tanker support as far north as Tromso. Land there and re-fuel. We have a 36 hour window to strike them before the weather clears up. We will understand and expect heavy losses. Try to limit them to the best of your planning. You are also being provided with a squadron of F-15Cs from the 48TH TFW to provide limited tactical escort.

41st scenario posted this year!

Med Maul - EC2003 MEDC



SitRep: PACT Forces have crossed the intra-German border and attacked US forces worldwide. Currently, there is fighting in Europe, the Red Sea, South China Seas, and in and around Japan. You are hereby assigned to assume command of task force 60 and secure your forces in their areas. Currently, Soviet forces are in full move across the theatre as assumed by NATO OP Plan 99-04. As of yet, there has been no use of NBC weapons in this theatre or any other where US/NATO forces are currently engaging Soviet/PACT forces.

Due to attacks against French shipping in the Kiel Canal and against French harbors, France is honoring her Atlantic Alliance agreements and has turned over some of her forces to your local command. Libyan forces are currently stepping up mobilization. Syrian forces and Islamic terrorists have begun massive mobilization in Lebanaon and along the Golan Heights. CIA and DIA analysis believe that the Syrians and Islamic groups may attack Israel to keep her busy during this confilct and limit her ability to help us. Soviet, Bulgarian, Romanian forces have landed or crossed the borders of both Greece and Turkey. It is believed that they are trying to secure free access of the straits in and out of the Black Sea. At this time, Yugoslavia and Austria have both declared their neutrality in this conflict. Do Not Attack or violate their neutrality.

Hehehe :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

You're joking, right?

The "new" scenarios annouced here are more than TWO YEARS OLD! Ripped off from Ed Ladner's old site.

Let me guess, the next "new" scenario on your list is will be "Operation Pedestal 2"? Also from 2003. Hm...

Nice try Herman

--------------------
The Harpoon Headquarters: The premier Harpoon site on the net
www.harpoonhq.com

Exactly, where you have found the word "new" in the annoucement?

Ah yeah,

Posting up old scenarios in a scenario annoucement thread would be the most natural thing to do. Silly me.

Maybe Herman should add: "All of them old stuff you have played before."

--------------------
The Harpoon Headquarters: The premier Harpoon site on the net
www.harpoonhq.com

Uhm, all of them are new on SZO (I wasn't able to find them elsewhere on the net). SZO is, BTW, a very visible place and a cross-road for wargame enthusiasts. Any member can post on it, if he wishes. Hopefully Harpoon is getting/will get a lot of new players that never played the game before. I would hope that the Harpoon community will not always be composed of the usual old suspects

Hehe. Sorry Reckall but I'm not buying from you

The scenarios are part of an earlier test package that came with HC. They have been available for download on Ed's site for quite a while now...


Well, since those magic words come from you I'm sure it must be true.

I mean, if SZO is such a "visible place and a cross-road for wargame enthusiasts" then it would make perfect sense to only post a lot of old stuff, right?

--------------------
The Harpoon Headquarters: The premier Harpoon site on the net
www.harpoonhq.com

Right. It makes perfect sense to post good scenarios no more readly available on the net, in a visible place, for both old and new players. Sometimes I go crazy while trying to find an old scenario for, let's say, The Operational Art of War, only to be happy to find that someone posted it on SZO or Wargamer.

Beside, thanks for the link to Ed's site. After browsing a lot, I FINALLY found the scenarios: they were still in the FTP site with all the other discarded beta stuff. Thanks God for SZO

These "new" scenario's are not crashing as soon you play them...... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

My dear... the scenarios on Ed's site are 2 clicks away from the main page

So just to clarify, the SZO site has specialized on releasing "other discarded beta stuff" ripped from older Harpoon sites.

To avoid any confusion in the future you might want to tell Herman to put a note in his 'scenario annoucements' that the stuff on that SZO site is discarded beta stuff...

Anyway, the Pooners out there who are looking for new stuff might want to stop by the HarpoonHQ. We've released a TON of new quality scenarios this year, and many more are on the way.

The Harpoon Headquarters: The premier Harpoon site on the net
www.harpoonhq.com

Hey little Troll,

We missed you and your sorry antics. This forum was just so nice and peaceful without your foolishness. I guess that it is time for your monthly spanking. Not quite. SZO specializes in being an Open Forum where any member in good standing can freely post his works without editorial, censorship, or interference. That these authors decided to share their work on SZO and other sites is proof positive that the views of one self-important admin on one small site shall not supercede all other considerations. SZO and other related sites exist to serve the ENTIRE Harpoon community and not the self-serving small-minded opinions of a one individual.

Permission was requested and received from each and every author to help them disseminate their works. You should try it sometime.

So, to be perfectly accurate and clarify any doubt,

No Guidelines.
No Rules.
No Submittal [Sic] Process.
Just the game.

Just be careful to only load the stuff that works and doesn't crash your game.

<EDIT>

Please note that Herman added the above cheapshot to his post several days later. This is yet another one of Herman's immature trolling tactics. Perhaps it is time the moderators on this forum take definitive action against this joker.

</EDIT>

uhm... I don't really see many people posting their own stuff at SZO. In fact, a quick look reveals that all of the scenarios have been uploaded by you Herman. Freshly ripped from other Harpoon sites.


Yes I know SZO has had some severe design & stability problems with the scenarios they have released. So you might want to consider introducing some quality control on the stuff posted on your site. All of the stuff I've seen there is either unfinished, untested, poorly built, poorly researched, or a combination.

As for your other cheapshot, I do not see any people complaining about the quality of the scenarios posted on the HarpoonHQ. But that shouldn't be a big surprise, since the scenarios go through extensive testing and verification on our Testing Ground before being released to the public.

Sadly, taking a quick look in the SZO forum reveals that the same can not be said about the scenarios posted over there...

--------------------
The Harpoon Headquarters: The premier Harpoon site on the net
www.harpoonhq.com

For once, you actually got it right!

Files are cross-posted on behalf of their authors only after permission is given by the designer. That's right, players. SZO and other Harpoon-related sites serve the players and the community. NOT the adminstrator. Thanks for clarifying that point.

Also, for your edification, the scenarios are always in their antebellum state. That's right. Unlike some unmentionable sites, scenarios are not edited, modified, or otherwise tampered with prior to dissemination.

You play the Director's cut each and every time. Not the Administrator's warped interpretation of the author's original concept. What you see is what the designer wanted you to see.

Will you guys please quit sniping at each other? Or take it somewhere else, your choice.

This site is not a court or an arbitrator of your disputes, period.

Is it that time again, already .... time for emsoy to cause trouble ? Geez. Thanks for the reality check, 20mm. I hope you noticed that this thread was just fine until emsoy decided to "chatter" again for no good reason except to make noise. Please, Ragnar, go back to doing what you do in your little world, and leave the rest of the community alone. You might have noticed that things were rather peaceful, lately. Let's have more of that, please and thank you.

Hehehehehe :p

Herman, you're not angry we called your bluff, are you? You must be pretty desperate to start some more trouble, I see you are playing your 'CV32' card again. Clever. Ye.

Sorry Herman/CV32, I'm just not biting.

20mm, thanks for stepping in here. I hope you noticed who's been making real contributions, and who's trying to bluff the members of this forum. I also hope you have noticed Herman has sent in 'CV32' in an attempt to start more sh*t.

The community has been very peaceful lately. More peaceful than in years. So Herman, it is pretty sad you saw that as an opportunity to pull off this little stunt of yours.

--------------------
The Harpoon Headquarters: The premier Harpoon site on the net

All right. I have now received PM's from each side, each side accusing the other.

READ MY POST ABOVE. I am not judge, jury, or court. You guys have issues, but I am not the one to settle your dispute.

You are using my forums to fight this war and I'm tired of it. I'm not taking sides, I want the combat in here to cease. We have rules about civil conduct and respecting other members. You both have violated those rules. So take your issues to some other venue and resolve them, not here.

If you do not, I will either ban you both or shut the whole forum down.

I have now had enough, don't force my hand.

Following independence from France in 1956, President Habib Bourguiba established a strict one-party state. He dominated the country for 31 years, repressing Islamic fundamentalism and establishing rights for women unmatched by any other Arab nation.Tunisia has a diverse economy, with important agricultural, mining, energy, tourism, and manufacturing sectors. Located in a strategic location in central Mediterranean; Malta and Tunisia are discussing the commercial exploitation of the continental shelf between their countries, particularly for oil exploration.

A Magnitude 7.2 Earthquake has hit the Kairouan region in central Tunisia. In an emergency session of the UN, the Tunis Government has requested international aid of food, water and civil and structural engineers. The Tunisian Army is stretched to the limit at this time trying to re-establish order.

In an astounding announcement at the UN table, it seems that Libya is making threatening overtones to block all aid underway to Tunisia. Following France's reluctance to put its navy in harm's way to aid an ungrateful colony, the United Kingdom has agreed to provide an escort for the humanitarian ships now assembling at Portsmouth.

43rd Scenario posted this year!

Thunder Dragon Meets Gold Eagle- WestPac



One of the most significant obstacles to a forced reunification between the PRC and the Republic of China (ROC, commonly referred to as Taiwan) is the US Navy. The presence of a US Navy carrier strike group in the vicinity would pose a very serious danger to PRC military action. Does the PRC possess the capability to neutralize the threat? Try it and see for yourself.

44th, 45th, and 46th Scenarios posted this year!

The peaceful and idyllic Harpoon community was awakened early this morning to an earthquake measuring 7.2 on the Richter scale. The epicentre was centred on St. John's, Newfoundland where master scenario designer Brad Leyte had just released three new scenarios. Enjoyment was extensive and waves of aftershocks are expected to continue for weeks, months, and even years. Players and relief agencies have rushed to the scene and report a serious shortage of After-Action Reports. The worldwide Harpoon community has been asked for donations of this most vital quantity.

LaGrange Six - EC2003 MEDC



LaGrange points are intersections in space where gravitational and centrifugal forces balance out to provide orbital stability. There are five known LaGrange points, but if there were a sixth, within the context of world history and geopolitics, it might be found in Europe.

In this scenario, the ties and alliances between a host of European nations (old and new, alike) have broken down. War has broken out once again between newly reformed states, failed states, and age-old enemies. This time, the relationships evidenced by NATO, the EU and the like, have also crumbled. France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Bulgaria, Romania, and Slovakia have joined the battle on the side of Croatia, while the US, UK, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Poland, and the Ukraine have pledged to support Macedonia and the Former Yugoslavia.

Peacekeeping in the region is no longer a viable option, and American and British forces are now being pulled out in an effort to avoid to impending quagmire...

My Love is Vengeance - EC2003 IOPG



The civil war in Iraq has spawned a multitude of terrorist organizations and networks, eclipsing the old enemy Al Qaeda and fostering new predilections among Middle Eastern states. Yemen has since turned its back on the USA, refusing to continue the pursuit and prosecution of suspected terrorists operating in its territory. There are now in fact strong indications that Yemen is harboring and propping up the terror networks. In a strange but somehow gratifying twist of fate, the USS Cole has returned to the scene of the crime perpetrated against her, this time to exact justice from the terrorists.

Third Idea - WestPac



Negative sentiments flowing from Japan's role in the Second World War continue to run deep in Asia, even six decades later. This remains especially true in China. Nevertheless, Beijing took steps to rein in vehement anti-Japanese rallies in the spring of 2005, ostensibly with the intention of protecting its own internal stability. And yet there was a deeper strategy at work. A newly revitalized relationship between Russia and the PRC, on both economic and defence levels, resulted in a joint plan to seize a commanding position in the Asian sphere of influence. The only obstacles (?) were Japan and its ally, the United States.

Very funny, Herman.

I have no doubt the community will surpass fifty ... read em, fifty (50) ... new scenarios this year.

Hoo-rah. :AR15:

Well, whaddaya know, two more new HCCE scenarios have been added:

"Stage Fright, Part One", for the EC2003 Battle for the Indian Ocean battleset.

"Crimean River", for the EC2003 Battle for the Mediterranean battleset.

You can pick them up at HarpGamer .

Enjoy. :thumbs_up:

Brad really is too modest. Here's a bit more information on his latest scenarios. Looks like Brad is going to personally make sure that there are 50 scenarios released this year.

47th and 48th scenarios posted this year!

Talk about aftershocks! Brad Leyte has released two more scenarios - the 47th and 48th of the year. Five in one week must be some kind of record. Maybe we need to get Brad tested for performance-enhancing substances? Whatever it is you are taking, Brad, keep it up!

Stage Fright - EC2003 IOPG



Chinese political influence over the path of the Asian Super Highway has threatened plans for the future expansion of Indian trade ties in Indochina. China has convinced Bangladesh and Myanmar that their economic interests would be better served by linking Chittagong with a trilateral road network with Myanmar and Kunming in China. While the Super Highway is being purpose-built to advance multilateral commerce, China has been keen to extract military advantages. There is strong Indian opposition to the Chinese "meddling" in plans that they had already believed finalized. In reply, the PRC has followed up on its political pressures by convincing both Bangladesh and Myanmar to participate in high level "joint" military exercises on very short notice.

Crimean River - EC2003 MEDC



Our support of the Ukraine in its border conflict with Russia has broken up most of the enemy offensive, except in the Crimea, where the war is bogging down. Intelligence indicates that many Russian units are no longer getting consistent support or orders from Moscow and that some isolated groups of Russian forces are either surrendering or "melting away". There is, unfortunately, at least one exception. A rogue general in the Crimea has taken the opportunity to seize a nuclear powerplant. His intentions are unknown, but he and his compatriots are known to have ties to the criminal underworld in the Caucasus region. Our fear is that he may begin disassembly of the nuclear facility and sell weapons grade nuclear material to the highest bidder. The reactor and its support facilities must therefore be disabled or destroyed.

50th, 51st, and 52nd scenarios posted!

Well, we've done it! Christmas comes early. Three new scenarios by three different authors have been released into the Harpoon community - two for Harpoon 3 and one for Harpoon Classic enthusiasts. These are the 50th, 51st, and 52nd scenarios to be posted to StrategyZoneOnline, ScenShare, FilesOfScenShare, and HarpGamer. That means 50 new scenarios have been produced for Harpoon Classic and Harpoon 3 and the year is not even over yet. Bravo, boys, and keep it up!

• Continuing on in his "Battle Ocean 90" series, Mark Gellis has posted his Hungry Lion [EC2003 NACV] scenario.
• Freek Schepers has released, Indian, the 8th scenario in his "21st Century Ocean Wars" battleset.
• Herman Hum has posted the fourth installment in the "New World Order - Cyprus Affair" battleset, Chastiser.

HUNGRY LION – EC2003 NACV – CON90A1



It is 1990 and the world is at war. The Soviet Union has invaded and occupied Iran. The United States and its allies demanded that the Soviet Union remove its forces from Iran immediately and threatened to use force if necessary.

The Soviet Union responded with a series of lightning strikes that destroyed a large number of military bases in Europe. The Soviets then initiated a massive campaign of submarine warfare designed to cripple the West. Their goal does not appear to be to invade Europe but to leave the West so weak that it will be unable to force them out of Iran until their control of that country effectively becomes the status quo.

Blue Orders:

• Convoy AHS (Flag Bradley), Convoy AIS (Flag Scott), and Convoy ALS (Flag Wainwright) should proceed to Portsmouth. Avoid contact with enemy forces if possible, but you are cleared to defend yourselves against any threats.
• All other available surface and submarine units should patrol the sea lanes between the United States and the United Kingdom. Engage and destroy any enemy vessels or submarines you encounter.
• Air assets should provide support to the convoys and the surface action groups. Intelligence reports that the Soviets may attempt to attack British and French bases with long-range bombers. Be prepared to defend these bases.

INDIAN OCEAN - Scenario #8 - 21st Century Ocean Wars battleset



The NATO-Russian war is 4 weeks old. Russia has suffered crippling losses to its long-range Naval aviation forces and to its submarines in the Atlantic and Pacific theatres. The US strategy of leaving the defence of the SLOCs in the IO to India, Thailand, and Singapore has failed when China, worried about its oil supply, claimed control over the Malakka Strait. The ensuing fight sank numerous oil tankers and crippled the Allied Navies in southeast Asia.

The White House and State Department are at odds whether the Chinese intervention signals an alliance between China, Russia, and several SE-Asia nations.The US Navy is rushing reserve forces into the IO to defend the critical approaches to the Persian Gulf oil fields. Reserve troop flown to SE-Asia and the Persian Gulf Region must be matched up with their pre-positioned equipment on Diego Garcia to stabilise the region.

The IO is in turmoil. Chinese naval forces have pushed through the Malakka Strait and destroyed the airbases and navy of Singapore. In a running fight, two of the escorting frigates of the Thai carrier Chakkri Nareubet have been sunk, but the carrier is still afloat and is heading for the IO. Chinese ships then entered harbour in Myanmar. India has withdrawn its forces from Port Blair after the sinking of the Viraat in the ten-degree channel by a torpedo.

Oil tanker traffic is in turmoil with many tanker destinations being changed due to the war. About 20 have been boarded by Chinese prize crews.

MISSION

Primary mission is to destroy any enemy units inside the IO. The secondary mission is to escort the AK and AKR Maritime Pre-positioned ships from Diego Garcia towards the Malakka Strait (3 ships), Persian Gulf (5 ships), and Suez Canal (4 ships).

CHASTISER - Scenario #4 - New World Order Campaign #2 [The Cyprus Affair]



When the NSC made good on its promise to deliver SA-10 Grumble SAM systems to the Greek Cypriots in the spring of 1995 despite Turkish protests, the stage was set for another conflict in Cyprus. The presence of the advanced weapons shifted the delicate balance of power as it put nearly all aircraft operating from the Turkish side of the island at risk.

NATO was embarrassed when regular Turkish forces stormed the island a few months later. It had not been aware of Turkey's intent to reclaim Cyprus once and for all. Hand-in-hand with the economic boom in the NSC came military modernization and revitalization; funding for which was fueled at least partly by an unprecedented level of arms exports. The NSC would no longer sit idly by while its national interests were decided by others. It launched a major attack against Turkey on June 3, 1995.

The NSC did not believe that NATO would intervene in the Cypriot affair after having been snubbed by its Turkish partner and after the beating it had received in the Baltic conflict a year earlier. The NSC was about to be proven wrong.



1. SitRep
The move to seize the Bosporous & Dardanelles was a mistake. The prospect of a modernized and ambitious New Soviet navy with a front yard on the eastern Mediterannean was too much for NATO to bear. The U.S. Sixth Fleet, standing off Italy and observing the conflict in Turkey from afar, has now been called into action. The task force will be entering an extremely hostile zone.

Yesterday, the NSC launched a major airborne assault upon the Turkish contingent in Cyprus and all indications are that the island will be firmly under NSC control by tomorrow.NSC amphibious forces have seized Turkish territory around the Bosporous & the Dardanelles. Istanbul is under siege. NSC airborne assault against Cyprus is underway and will likely be successful by tomorrow. The prospect of NSC control of these areas is unacceptable to NATO security concerns.

2. ORDERS
CVBG 5.5 - Flag Eisenhower - Proceed at best speed to Cypriot zone. Stand by for further operational orders upon arrival. A diplomatic solution is still possible but unlikely.

The 57th new scenario of the year has just been released!

Black Valour - EC2003 MEDC Battleset



A few years in the future... Tensions between Turkey and its neighbors in the Black Sea region have increased during recent years. The causes have ranged from trade issues to environmental concerns. Romania has been among the most vocal in its protests against Turkey, going so far as to threaten the use of force if Turkey continues to interfere with its international agenda. The situation has been made more serious because Ukraine has declared itself a guardian of the slavic Black Sea nations and has made it clear that Turkish aggression against any of these nations, even those it has squabbled with in the past, will not be tolerated. A few months ago, Romania purchased long-range ballistic missiles from China.

Orders:
Romania has continued to use provocative language regarding our trade, environmental, and defense policies. We maintain that our nation has acted in accordance with international law. We remain willing to address these issues in such forums as the United Nations, and to abide by the will of the global community. Unfortunately, our neighbors appear unwilling to do the same. We have reason to believe that sometime in the next few hours Romania will attack Turkish vessels in the Black Sea as "retribution" for our policies. Those ships are ordered to go on high alert, but unless they are attacked first should not fire on Romanian vessels or aircraft. If they are attacked, they are directed to defend themselves and are free to attack any other targets of opportunity. It is also possible that Romania will attack Turkish bases. Be prepared for this possibility.

If Romania should attack Turkish assets or Turkish territory, all available assets are directed to initiate Operation Black Valor. Your objectives are as follows:

1. Destroy the base at Kogalniceanu.
2. Locate and destroy the ballistic missile launchers located near Kogalniceanu.
3. Destroy any Romanian vessels you encounter.

Ukrainian aircraft have been observed near Kogalniceanu and may attempt to prevent attacks against Romania. Do not fire on these aircraft unless you are attacked first. If you are attacked, you may defend yourselves and you may attack any Ukranian assets that appear to be a threat to your forces. Do not under any circumstances attack Odessa.

This scenario requires Harpoon Classic version 16b9 or later and also the HCDB_051221 or later in order to function properly.

The 2nd new scenario of the year!

Not even one week into the new year and Mark Gellis has published a second scenario for the Harpoon community to enjoy. At this rate, I shudder to think how many great scenarios he will produce in the upcoming year. Thanks for sharing another game with us.

Crete Convoy - EC2003 MEDC Battleset



It is 1990 and the world is at war. America and its allies are gradually preparing to liberate Iran from the Soviet Union, which invaded that country earlier this year. Several allies of the Soviet Union have declared their support for the Soviet invasion.

Blue Orders:
Convoy AAS (Flag Robison) should proceed to the waters off the southern shore of Crete in preparation for a rendevous with other vessels. Once at the rendevous point, you will receive additional orders. Libya has declared its support of the Soviet invasion of Iran. It is possible that Libyan aircraft, surface vessels, or submarines will attempt to attack your convoy. Soviet submarines may also be in your area.

Greek aircraft are available to provide air support for your convoy. You are free to fire on either Libyan or Soviet assets if they attack or appear to threaten the convoy or allied assets. You are not directed at this time to attack Libyan territory.

This scenario requires Harpoon Classic version 16b9 or later and also the HCDB_060103 or later in order to function properly.

SEVEN new scenarios!

Happy Chinese New Year! To help bring in the new year, Brad Leyte has released SEVEN new scenarios! Yes, that's right 1, 2, 3,....7! Everyone thought that his previous five scenario release in October was an earth-shattering event. Looks like Brad is publishing according to the prime numbers. Let's all hope that the next release is for 11 scenarios! The Year of the Dog definitely looks like a prosperous year for the Harpoon community.

Storsjoodjuret - EC2003 GIUK



The worst case scenario for Sweden has just come to pass. Failed promises of prosperity after EU integration, combined with persistent high unemployment, have suddenly brought down the government in Finland and replaced it with one friendly to an aggressive Russian Federation. Russian armed forces have been granted access to Finnish airspace and territory as part of a mutual defence pact. This includes the Aland Islands, which are rumoured to have been "leased" (some say sold) to Russia, and already military forces are reported to be digging in around the islands and constructing fortifications there. This is extremely alarming to Sweden, whose protests have gone unanswered in Helsinki and Moscow.


Constant Glance - EC2003 MEDC



Relations between the Ukraine and Russia have degraded into a shooting war after a prolonged dispute over gas supplies. Elements of the US-Eastern European Task Force (EETAF), established at a forward location in Romania, are being called into action to support and defend the West friendly government in Ukraine.


Stage Fright Pt. II - EC2003 IOPG



Chinese political influence over the path of the Asian Super Highway has threatened plans for the future expansion of Indian trade ties in Indochina. China has convinced Bangladesh and Myanmar that their economic interests would be better served by linking Chittagong with a trilateral road network with Myanmar and Kunming in China. While the Super Highway is being purpose built to advance multilateral commerce, China has been keen to extract military advantages. There is strong Indian opposition to the Chinese "meddling" in plans that they had already believed finalized. In reply, the PRC has followed up on its political pressures by convincing both Bangladesh and Myanmar to participate in high level "joint" military exercises on very short notice.


Last Stan - EC2003 IOPG



Iran's stubborn refusal to submit to the authority of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with regard to its nuclear program led to its emergency reference to the UN Security Council. Resolutions aimed at sanctioning Iran and leaving the door open for further action were vetoed by both Russia and China. The EU3 (France, Germany and the UK) and the United States nevertheless pressed ahead with their cooperative efforts to find a way to bring punitive action against Iran. The debacle in Pakistan, however, badly aggravated the situation. US intelligence discovered (thanks to a tip from the Mossad) that Pakistan had covertly assisted in the escape of mastermind Osama bin Laden across the border into Iran, and that the Al Qaida mastermind was now rebuilding its terror camps with the help of Tehran. The apparent link between terrorism and the Iranian nuclear program was too much for the EU/US coalition to accept, and the wheels were put into motion to put a stop to Iran's nuclear ambitions. Russia, China and Pakistan denied there was sufficient evidence of any such link, and vowed to oppose any aggression against Iran that had no Security Council support.


Blame it on the Kellys - EC2003 WestPac



A growing dispute between Indonesia and Papua-New Guinea about rights to a newly discovered uranium deposit on their mutual border has led to the intervention of China and Australia on opposite sides. China, eager to gain access to the uranium, has sent a sizeable force into the region to support the Indonesian claim. Indonesia has likewise shifted considerable military assets eastward into the disputed area. Overflights of Papua-New Guinea airspace by unknown (and presumably Chinese) aircraft have already been reported. Meanwhile, Australia is moving to support its old colony, and New Zealand is pledging assistance.


My Pet Dragon - EC2003 WestPac



The European Union has long been unhappy with American economic and military sanctions against the People's Republic of China. In recent years, the EU has grown increasingly concerned that the sanctions were unduly stifling European prosperity by blocking access to a huge market. The EU continued to bring diplomatic pressure to bear on Washington as the sanctions dragged on, hoping that eventually they would be lifted. Instead, when American intelligence community insisted that it had discovered an apparent link between China and the Iranian nuclear weapons program, the sanctions were tightened, much to the chagrin of the EU. The focus has now shifted away from diplomacy, and the EU is determined to exploit potential economic opportunities in the PRC. Cargo ships are now enroute from the EU to China, carrying Ariane 5 rocket components from France and Type 212 submarine technology from Germany. The convoy is defended. The Americans are incensed and vow to stop the shipment.


Thirst for Victory - EC2003 WestPac



The relationship between Singapore and Malaysia has never been particularly great, due in large part to historical sensitivities, some stemming from the time of their separation in 1965. Diplomatic level interventions by Australian in the 1980s (through the Five Power Defence Arrangement, or FPDA) helped to encourage better dialogue and cooperation, particularly in defence matters, but there remains an underlying friction between Singaporeans and Malays. Modern era difficulties include unresolved territorial and airspace disputes, customs and immigration issues, new cross-border bridges and railways, and the continued reliance of Singapore upon fresh water supplies from Malaysia.

A devastating terrorist attack on an liquefied natural gas (LNG) tanker in the Malacca Straits served to aggravate these tensions, especially after Singapore called upon US Navy assistance to begin more closely patrolling the region's waterways. This did not sit well at all with Malaysia and Indonesia, both of whom held the bulk of the territorial claim to the Malacca Straits. Indonesia reacted by shutting down its brand new water pipelines to Singapore, and after huge anti-Singapore and anti-America protests in the streets of Kuala Lumpur, the Malaysian government followed suit. The Tuas desalination plant and the reservoir at Marina Bay were then contaminated in a new terrorist attack, and suddenly the tiny nation of Singapore was plunged into crisis.

FOUR new scenarios!

It looks like the best recipe for Harpoon scenarios is a cold winter’s day and a one avid scenario designer. Brad Leyte is releasing another four new scenarios for us to enjoy.

Waking the God of the Dead - EC2003 GIUK



It has been said in recent years that modern warfare clearly favors the attacker. Whether true or not it is true, it is also said that this perception may encourage countries to favour pre-emption. It is certainly clear from recent conflicts that early battles usually determine the success of entire campaigns, and in fact, a highly successful pre-emptive strike may prevent (or at least delay) future war. Israel is no stranger to pre-emption. In the late 1970s, Iraq persuaded France to construct a research reactor near Baghdad. This light water nuclear reactor was named Osiraq by the French, an amalgam of the name of the Egyptian god of the dead, Osiris, with that of Iraq. This expansion of Iraqi nuclear know-how was alarming to Israel, so much so that when Israeli intelligence discovered Baghdad's intent to use Osiraq to produce weapons, the decision was made to attack and destroy the facility before it went hot. In the words of the then Chief of Staff of the Israel Defence Forces: "The alternative is our destruction".

On 7 June 1981, the elite pilots of the IDF/AF finally spotted their target after a long low level flight through neighboring Jordanian and Saudi airspace. In little over a minute, the gleaming dome of the Osiraq reactor had been ruined by a rain of 2,000 lb iron bombs. The attack raised considerable debate over the legitimacy of anticipatory self-defence and the application of international law. Years later, when Desert Storm swept through the Gulf, the Iraqi nuclear site was struck again. But it wasn't until the concluding days of the campaign, after some nine different air strikes, that the ability of the facility to conduct nuclear research or processing was severely degraded.

Now, 25 years after the Osiraq raid, Israel once again faces a monumental decision about the value of pre-emption. Iran is pressing ahead with nuclear research despite broad international opposition and concern about it possibly acquiring nuclear weapons. The Iranian leader has called for Israel to be "wiped off the map". It’s time to wake that old god of the dead.


Pinger Charlie - EC2003 GIUK



During the Cold War, the Baltic Sea was the "playground" of maritime reconnaissance and electronic surveillance assets of both NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Both sides employed their assets to continuously monitor each other's activities. The West German Naval Air Arm's Atlantic maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) of Marinefliegergeschwader 3 (MFG3) "Graf Zeppelin", based at Nordholz, flew continuous patrols over the Baltic Sea and Danish approaches to monitor the buildup of Soviet naval forces which would have to transit through these waters to reach the North Atlantic. The area was vital to NATO's overall defence strategy, which depended on countering any offensive brought by Warsaw Pact forces in the event of war. ASW operations in the region were all the more difficult by constantly changing temperatures, the salinity of the shallow water, and numerous shipwrecks. ["Pinger Charlie" is the nickname given to a certain sonobuoy pattern used by MFG3 Atlantics].


Shroud Over Turin - EC2003 MEDC



The eruption of a new civil war in the Balkans on the eve of the XX Winter Olympics drastically complicated European efforts at achieving security in Torino. The air forces of Switzerland and Italy were already working closely to ensure the Games were safe from terrorist attack, but the sudden outbreak of armed conflict on their doorstep was completely unexpected. Their accord did not cover military threats. The situation in the Balkans was still very unclear, but it appeared that several of the former territories of Yugoslavia were ganging up on Slovenia. Preliminary intelligence analysis indicated that the conflict may be rooted in tensions arising from Slovenia having joined NATO in March 2004, and if this was in fact the case, the possibility of attacks against neighboring NATO countries cannot be ruled out. The aggressors are warning against outside intervention, and previously little known factions within the former Yugoslav republics are threatening attack against the Games should NATO interfere.


Bad Moon Rising – WestPac



The launch of a Chinese lunar module experiment has failed, with the spacecraft returning to earth somewhere in the central Sea of Okhotsk (according to USAF Space Command). What is alarming, however, is that a scientist from the Chinese space program has defected to Japan, and he has some ominous news. He claims that the rocket was actually carrying an anti-satellite weapon that was being launched by the PRC as a prelude to an impending attack against Taiwan. The race is on to recover the module.

The 15th new scenario of the year!

Congratulations to Christopher Stoner [a.k.a. DarkNite] who is the thirteenth scenario designer to release a scenario for the community to enjoy. This is Chris' first scenario and it looks like one torn straight from newspaper headlines. Thanks for sharing it with us, Chris. We look forward to many more to come.



Prelude – WestPac

Admiral Chen Loo looked over the morning paper with terse disbelief. Taiwanese intelligence had recently delivered corroborated evidence that an oil exploration team working for a joint Chinese/Philipino consortium and using the latest petroleum exploration techniques had confirmed the existance of enormous oil and natural gas deposits in the contested South China Sea. His ROC naval intelligence officer had immediately tied this to recent activities in the region which made an offensive operation to claim the disputed area a distinct possibility.

Monitoring assets had detected shipping activities preparing for embarkation in Guangzhou that included troops, weapons, and equipment earmarked for apparently mundane purposes, but all focusing on operations in the South China Sea. Believing it too much to be a coincidence, Admiral Chen had recommended subtle shifts in the

Taiwanese defense posture to guard against a sudden Chinese incursion. Although the national leadership had agreed, they also showed great concern about the growing ties between the Chinese and Filipino governments. China had invested heavily in the Philippines as of late, including the renovation of the old US Navy Subic Bay facility in Luzon- ostensibly to support 'resource recovery operations'- and the provision of older Chinese patrol vessels and F-7M Airguard aircraft to supplement the Filipino military. Against Admiral Chen's wishes, they had brokered a deal with Malaysia, who also had a claim on the contested region, and aligned with them to repel any Chinese mischief.

Now all his careful subterfuge was for naught. The headlines of the morning papers across Asia blared the news of the massive oil find, leaked to the public by a disgruntled survey worker. The cat was out of the bag and China would be moving quickly to consolidate their hold on the chain of islands, reefs, and cays that would solidify their claim on the energy reserves.

The Spratly Islands - Admiral Chen looked to the situation board. His initial forces were still in transit. The Chinese had several warships sortie and the transports he had been watching sailed from their southern ports. More concerning was the sudden increase in activity flaring at the Chinese military facilities across the Taiwan Strait. Knowing that “the jig was up”, they were escalating issues here to pin down Taiwanese forces and keep them from responding in the Spratlys.

His eyes focused on a small speck in the middle of the South China Sea. Taiping Island, barely a kilometer square, was the largest land mass in the region. It was Taiwan's only possession in the Spratlys and a direct affront to the Chinese claim. Grabbing his hat, Admiral Chen hurried for the operations center.

A total of five new Harpoon scenarios have been released by Brad Leyte and Christopher Stoner. There goes my weekend... ;-)

Allegro – WestPac



The PRC has initiated an attack on Taiwan's base in the Spratly chain at Taiping Island (ZMm) via bomber and paratroop assault. They have also increased force levels and op tempo at their southern bases and enclaves in the Philippines. Taiwan stands on the brink of all-out war with Mainland China. PLAA aircraft are aggressively probing the ROC ADIZ and PLAN vessels have sortied with the intent of blockading the island.

A small force of Taiwanese ships has been dispatched to make their way south, re-take Taiping Island (ZMm), and degredate PRC/Philipino strongholds in the area. They are supported by a contingent of ROCAF aircraft and Malaysian forces operating near Borneo. Additionally, one of Taiwan's precious submarines, Hai Hu, has been tasked to support this operation.

Significant PLAN surface and submarine forces are expected to be ready to intercept a Taiwanese response in the Spratlys. High-value air units are known to patrol PRC holdings in the area, most likely staged from Subic Bay (ZXb) and southern China. They have increased defensive capabilities on their outposts of Thitu Island (ZZb), Fiery Cross Reef (ZYm), Mischief Reef (ZOm), and Subi Reef (ZNm) - including the addition of ASM batteries.

All civilian sea and air traffic has been re-routed, causing global economic impact. However, the Vietnamese are re-enforcing their position on Spratly Island (OBm) and are defiantly patrolling the area.

The United States faces extensive force commitments elsewhere at this time and is under severe diplomatic pressure to avoid involvement. However, some passive strategic assistance has been made available from their base at Anderson Field (ALa), whose involvement cannot be revealed to the PRC under ANY circumstances.

This scenario requires Harpoon Classic version 16b10 or later and also the HCDB_060207 or later in order to function properly.

Author: Christopher Stoner


Dynasty – WestPac



The war with the Americans and its puppet allies is several days old and going well. So well, in fact, that there are signs of severe fractures in the political support for the war in Washington. Beijing believes the American President is becoming increasingly fearful of losing the war and may try to neutralize our nuclear deterrent as a prelude to their own escalation to nuclear conflict.

This scenario requires Harpoon Classic version 16b10 or later and also the HCDB_060207 or later in order to function properly.

Author: Brad Leyte


Predator or Prey – WestPac



Having taken responsibility for its own defence and in the face of increased dialogue and openness on the part of the North, the Republic of Korea has tacitly encouraged the departure of US troops from the Korean Peninsula. Responsibilities elsewhere have accelerated this re-deployment and re-shaped the American presence from a military force into a wholly diplomatic delegation. An end to the decades old stand-off between the two Koreas appears imminent, and yet something is not quite right about this new atmosphere of peace and re-unification. Key anti-Communist legislation was recently dismantled in Seoul and regular military exercises with the Americans have been called off this year due to financial pressures. While the mood seems ripe for reconciliation, everyone knows that a predator will always choose to strike when the prey is least expecting attack.

This scenario requires Harpoon Classic version 16b10 or later and also the HCDB_060207 or later in order to function properly.

Author: Brad Leyte


The Ninth Immortal – WestPac



War with the People's Republic of China is several days old, and going well. So well, in fact, that there are signs of severe fractures in the political structure in Beijing. National Command Authority is becoming increasingly concerned that the PRC may raise the stakes and risk nuclear escalation rather than face humiliation. Satellite reconnaissance indicates a brand new Chinese ballistic missile submarine is preparing to go to sea.

This scenario requires Harpoon Classic version 16b10 or later and also the HCDB_060207 or later in order to function properly.

Get Your Goat - EC2003 MEDC



Relations between Spain and Morocco deteriorated after the departure of the Socialist government in Madrid thereby re-opening numerous old wounds. A brief, but anxious, confrontation in July 2002 had failed to resolve a long-standing quarrel over certain disputed territories in the Strait of Gibraltar, principally among them Leila (called Isla Perejil in Spain), Ceuta, and Melilla. Morocco now claimed sovereignty over all three areas, declaring that Spain should be satisfied enough with its claim to the Canary Islands. In reply, Spain has renewed a permanent military presence at Ceuta that had not existed there since 1960, asserting not only its 400 year old territorial claim, but also contending it had a "responsibility" to guard the region against illegal immigrants, smugglers, and terrorists who might exploit the strategic value of the Strait of Gibraltar.

NATO and the EU, pre-occupied with a host of their own problems, declared the matter a bi-lateral dispute and refused to intervene. The Arab League, however, already exasperated with perceived European insensitivities to Arab issues, pledged vigorous support for Morocco's claim. Notable among these advocates was Algeria. Relations between Morocco and Algeria had improved significantly after the two nations were able to reach an agreement regarding the Talsint oil field and the issue of Western Saharan separatism. The only question remaining was how far each of them was willing to go.

This scenario requires Harpoon Classic version 16b10 or later and also the HCDB_060207 or later in order to function properly.

The 21st new scenario of the year!

The Java Sea Incident – WestPac.



It is the early 1990s and Indonesia has become increasingly hostile towards its international neighbors. In the last six months, there have been several incidents in the region, including the sinking of a fishing boat the Indonesians claimed refused to stop when challenged by one of its frigates. Three weeks ago, two Singaporean A-4s were shot down when they strayed into Indonesian airspace.

A large shipment of arms is on its way from Russia to Jakarta. Singapore and Australia are increasingly concerned about Indonesia and its long term plans for the region and have decided that this shipment must not be allowed to arrive.

The 22nd new scenario of the year!

Beida-La Boom – EC2003 MEDC



History is full of interesting surprises. The mercurial leader of Libya, having made much of his reputation as a foe of the West, ultimately decided that the future of his country (and his own future) might be secured more easily by adopting a policy of moderation. He was promptly ousted and forced into exile.

The new regime is openly hostile to the West. Its ultimate goal is to dominate North and Central Africa and it has started an aggressive campaign of purchasing weapons from nations such as China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran. In addition, it has purchased materials necessary for the creation of chemical and biological weapons.

This scenario requires Harpoon Classic version 16b10 or later and also the HCDB_060308 for maximum efficiency.

The 25th new scenario of the year!

United They Sail - EC2003 IOPG Battleset



The Middle East has seen many shifts in alliances and political friendships over the years. Recently, Iran has become increasingly hostile to many of its neighbors in the region, which it describes as "puppets of the West." After the U.A.E. openly criticized Iran about its policies and suggested OPEC take action against Iran for its support of groups like Hamas, Iranian leaders threatened that the U.A.E. would pay for its "treachery."

The 26th new scenario of the year!

Labrador Lightning - EC2003 NACV



The collapse of fish populations around the world due to overfishing has created serious international friction. This is particularly true in the Atlantic. More and more often, European fishing boats have illegally entered Canadian waters. Canada has attempted to resolve the issue via diplomatic channels, but without success.

Two months ago, the Canadian people elected a new government. The new Prime Minister warned that Canada would deal harshly with illegal fishing. Barely a month later, Canadian warships sank three Spanish fishing boats in the Labrador Sea; twenty Spanish sailors perished in the icy waters.

Spain has declared it will not tolerate these barbarous acts. It has warned Canada that its fishing fleets will now be protected by naval vessels and that any Canadian warships approaching them will be fired on. Other European nations have also expressed their outrage at these events. Whether they will assist Spain in any Atlantic operations remains to be seen. The United States has tried to serve as a moderator and ease tensions between Canada and Spain, but has met with little success to date.

The 254th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



Re-Take - EC2003 MEDC Battleset

Ukraine's "Orange Revolution" has failed. The pro-Russian party which had won the last elections has used its renewed power to move the country back towards Russia and an autocratic regime.

Russian forces were invited to "secure" Ukraines borders against "potential aggressors". There has been a massive inflow of Russian naval aircraft and Ukraine is now "guarded" by Russian warships and subs too.

Few hours prior to that parts of Ukraines armed forces declared they will not follow any orders of the new regime dominated by Russia. They have taken side for "Free Ukraine" - a political movement of those still believing in the "Orange Revolution".

The "Free Ukrainian Forces" (FUF) have joined a US carrier group which has arrived in order to protect Romania against any Russian attack out of Ukraine.

Stakes are high and an epic clash is about to begin.

A few years in the future...

A recent dispute in the United Nations regarding the relationship between North Korea and Iran has escalated in recent weeks because of remarks made by South Korean government. Iran has declared it will no longer allow South Korea to export oil from the Persian Gulf. South Korea has responded by moving warships into the area to escort tankers. They have also transferred a number of military aircraft to the area, basing them at Abu Dhabi.

The Cold War finally went hot and furious battles arose all around the world. This Westpac scenario deals with a final US multicarrier attack supported by Japanese forces in the West Pacific. The US forces have neutralized all but one Soviet bases in the theatre. Now it is time to finish the job.

But beware: The Soviets have reinforced their last bastion to the utmost.

The 290th NEW Harpoon scenario in the last 12 months!



Foxes in the Hen House

A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the Westpac battleset.

The Soviet HEN submarines - the Hotel class SSBNs, the Echo class SSGNs and the November class SSNs - that began deploying in the early 1960s introduced a major technological breakthrough that gave them a dramatic acoustic advantage over the US Navy's Skipjacks and Skates. The new concept was rafting - where a submarine's engineering plant was placed on a flexible mount or raft within the submarine - dramatically reduced the transmission of mechanical vibrations through the hull, and into the water.

The three small Baltic nations of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania are no strangers to a hard life of aggression, occupation, and oppression. With the collapse of the Soviet Union, a determined populace grabbed the opportunity for independence once again. But history had taught them a lesson: that their long term survival was dependent upon becoming part of an international alliance. In Spring 2004 they became full members of NATO. Without any strategic depth, there is nothing that the Baltic states could do to stop a reasonably determined Russian attack, so instead NATO has opted to do such things as emphasize early warning and control, improve the defensive capabilities of local light forces, and have NATO air forces take turns in providing fighters for territorial air defence. There is at least one significant flaw in the arrangement. The Baltic states still rely heavily on Russia for their supplies of natural gas and oil, and their power grids remain linked. In 2007, they entered into an agreement with neighbour (and NATO partner) Poland to replace the ageing (Chernobyl type) nuclear reactor at Ignalina in Lithuania. The Ignalina reactor has now been shut down, and the new powerplant is still under construction, despite the protests of Russia and Belarus regarding the increased pressure on the regional fossil fuel supply. The Baltic states therefore remain critically exposed, and their former ruler has decided to make its move.

The 168th NEW Harpoon scenario in the last 12 months!

Patrick is the 19th author to post up a Harpoon scenario.



No Place Like Home

A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the EC2003 GIUK Gap battleset.

The time is the present, and the Kosovo crisis and the resulting Serbian invasion has led to long simmering tensions between Russia and the US exploding, with the sinking of an American submarine found within Russian territorial waters near Archangel. The Commander of the ASW frigate involved has been cashiered for his aggressiveness, but the loss of USS Dallas and 155 American sailors has the US public infuriated, and the US government is bent on revenge. American diplomatic staff have been recalled, and war is imminent. Unfortunately, the AFS Kuznetsov with his escorts is in the Atlantic on exercises, far from friendly ports and exposed to American attacks. The US has claimed that this task group is a threat to American shipping and must surrender to US forces. Your job is to get him and his escorts home safely in the face of overwhelming opposition.

Serhiy's Decision

A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the EC2003 Battle for the Mediterranean Battleset.

Although formally established by presidential decree on a warm summer day in August 1992, the slow and painful partition of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet between Ukraine and the newly independent Russian Federation took several more years. Arguably, the first ship of the Ukrainian Navy came into being on 26 January 1992 and in considerably less peaceful fashion. The collapse of the USSR in December 1991 caused the crew of the Project 159A (NATO Petya II) class light frigate SKR-112, most of them Ukrainian by nationality, to make a fateful decision. That morning in January, captain-lieutenant Serhiy Nastenko raised the state flag of Ukraine aboard his ship and together, he and his crew took an oath of allegiance to their new motherland. Black Sea Fleet Command was outraged, compelling Nastenko and his crew to eventually flee from the Russian naval base at Donuzlav, hoping to seek refuge in Odessa. Ships and aircraft of the Black Sea Fleet still loyal to Moscow set out in pursuit of the mutineer.

Oubliette

A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the Westpac Battleset.

The war in Central Europe is bogging down, and although NATO has suffered horrendous losses, the Soviet armored thrust has lost its momentum. There are rumours of growing dissension and unrest among the upper echelons of military command in Moscow. The risk of the Soviets resorting to the use of nuclear weapons in desperation has climbed considerably in the past few days. US Navy ballistic missile submarines, already deployed and at sea, have been directed to their patrol stations in case things go south. Several of these boomers, including the USS Tennessee, have been ordered to take up positions where they could potentially exploit depressed trajectory launches of their missile load, reducing warning time substantially.

The 45th NEW Harpoon scenario in the last 12 months!



The Origin of Storms

A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the EC2003 GIUK Gap battleset.

This scenario is designed for play by the BLUE side.

Environmental terrorists have disabled the world's first floating nuclear power plant, the massive Russian Rosenergoatom-Sevmash platform in the Barents Sea, inadvertently triggering a meltdown of one of the two reactors and a resultant environmental catastrophe.

The eco terrorists are a previously unknown group, going by the name Desdenova, and with apparent links to Norway. The Norwegians were opposed to the floating nuclear power plant from the outset, and Russia now blames Oslo for having masterminded the attack, claiming an attempt to grab oil and gas reserves in the region.

The Royal Norwegian Navy is moving to protect its territorial integrity and to attempt to contain the contamination, but the Russians have declared an absolute exclusion zone in the Barents and have prohibited all foreign entities from entering the area. A Royal Navy carrier group is caught in the storm.

French Titan

France has gained confidence in its current military arsenal and wishes to show the UK that it could easily overpower the belief that "Britannia rules the waves", which has long scalded France since the defeat of Napolean.

They intend on seizing and maintaining control of the Channel and then controlling all traffic that is heading for Britain.

The French have publicly announced this act through the media as the English Defence Secretary watched in utter disbelief that no political discussions were ever made. This comes as a complete surprise to the British and its armed forces are now under extreme pressure to mobilise and stop the French from taking hold of the precious Channel.

The UK has now warned the French government that such actions will be met with a harsh military response to which they have received no reply.

Operation Philippine Crunch

Three Months ago, Chinese forces staged an unexpected and swift assault on the Philippine island of Manila and has laid claim to the large northern landmass. The Chinese claimed to NATO that this attack was necessary to crush anti-Chinese terrorists that were based on the island.

NATO was never aware of any terrorism in China which was being co-ordinated. Further suspicions of ill-doing are being raised by the fact that reports have been coming out that the Chinese appear to be building defences and seem to have no intention of leaving the island.

US intelligance has determined that the attack was fueled by an intent to build nuclear missile launch facilities off of the Chinese mainland and ever closer to US-owned territories, in the hope that their anti-terrorism story could stall any attempt by NATO to react to their actions, long enough for them to establish a strong military presence on the island and then spread their occupation further through the Philippine island when the US began to withdraw from a few years ago.

The US has managed to steam a small Tarawa task force into the region in order to quickly seize the intiative and grab a foothold on the island before a larger follow up battlegroup arrives on scene to push the Chinese off of the island.

Their first intent will be to seize and hold the key airbase at Basa to allow further reinforcements to be flown in. The US does not have a huge force with which to perform this task, but their troops commanders are determined to succeed and peel back the Chinese attempt to move the nuclear threat ever closer to their homeland.

French Ivory



Three French journalists working in the Ivory Coast, investigating government corruption, were arrested five weeks ago on charges of espionage. France had been using diplomatic pressure to get them released, but ten days ago the men were brutally murdered by other prisoners.

France has learned that the killings were actually ordered by the government of the Ivory Coast. In response, France has decided to punish the Ivory Coast by destroying three of its offshore oil rigs.

During the crisis, relations between the Ivory Coast and Algeria have warmed significantly. Algeria has been especially outspoken in its criticism of France, saying the European nation is deliberately using the situation as an opportunity for imperialistic adventure, and has promised assistance to its "brother in the struggle against E.U. aggression."

More disturbing than the rhetoric, however, are intelligence reports that Algeria has moved some aircraft to the Ivory Coast. Furthermore, an Algerian submarine has been spotted off the western coast of Sierra Leone, heading south.

Under Fire



A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the Caribbean Basin battleset.

The death of Manuel Marulanda, the founder and longtime leader of the narco terrorist group FARC, in early 2008 spelled the beginning of the end of its insurgent activities in Colombia. Although FARC had been historically resilient and was still in possession of considerable resources, Bogota and Washington seized this opportunity to further weaken the organization. Previous clandestine efforts by Venezuela to provide financial and military support to FARC were fully exposed, much to the embarrassment of the regime in Caracas. Within a few short years, the combined efforts of the USA and Colombia had reduced FARC to a mere shadow of its former self and democracy in Colombia was thriving as a result. When an American Congressional delegation was sent to Colombia to investigate and report back on the success of their efforts, unhappy neighbors saw an opportunity to dampen the celebrations.

The time is the near future, and long simmering tensions between India and Pakistan have erupted. China has weighed in by leasing one of its newer frigates to Pakistan as a trial- but it will be a trial by fire. India has unwisely chosen to attack our country. Critical wartime supplies are approaching Indian ports. As our naval forces are unlikely to prevail against overwhelming odds engaging the Indian navy directly, you are instructed to locate and destroy all commercial vessels approaching India.

A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the EC2003 GIUK battleset.

The time is the present, and the Russians have taken advantage of NATO and US overextension in central Asia and the Middle East to settle some old scores in Scandanavia. Sweden and Finland have reached a settlement already, and will be no help. Norway is crumbling fast, but can still offer some help. A small amphibious group was sent to Spitzbergen some time ago to create a military presence at the seed bank there, but the rapid Russian advance requires their safe withdrawal. Get them back into friendly waters, and do some damage to Russian plans on the way if possible. Loadouts and formations may be altered as necessary, and you may operate aircraft from any base.

The first stage of the war took out the U.S pacific fleet and also the Phillipine islands with select nuke strike also Pearl Harbour and other key west coast sites The estimates of 300-400 times the reserves of oil and natural gas that the persian gulf holds have made allies of the USSR and the PRC

Meanwhile in the US short of CVN's after the destruction of the Pacific Fleet the USN takes some of its mothballed BB's and convets them to carriers to fill a much needed role. After a bloody battle to retake Guam that cost nearly 50,000 lives the U.S has mustered a force to soften up Japan and parts of the USSR for the following invasion force of mainly civ ships due to the lack of true amphib ships.. Best estimates for the oil in the gulf to last no more than 6 months have forced the US to move the timeline for an attack on Japan up

The year is 2012 and the balance of power in the world is shifting. The American economic crisis of 2009, along with the discovery of vast oil deposits in the Gulf of Mexico, has led the US to withdraw from world leadership, leaving a huge vacuum. Russia and China have allied to fill this gap, and a poorly organized alliance of India, The EU, and the ASEAN nations (with the exception of Myanmar, which has allied with China) are trying to stem the tide. This scenario explores the "blue water navy" capabilities of the Indian Navy in an attempt to retake conquered Indian territory. (Sound familiar?) After 30 years, Hermes the thief needs to steal again.

Colombian Hat Dance

A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the HCDA battleset.

Two terrorist attacks in Mexico City, which claimed the lives of 37 people, are blamed on radicals based in Colombia. The terrorist base has been located, but Colombia has refused to take action against the terrorists. No one is entirely sure why; some believe Colombian officials are concerned about reprisals.

Colombia has declared it will not tolerate a violation of its territory, even if it is to pursue terrorists. As one member of the Colombian government said, "These criminals are on Colombian soil and we will deal with them, when and how we see fit."

Mexico has gotten tired of waiting for the Colombians to take action. They have moved ships and troops into the region and are preparing to attack the terrorist base. In addition, the United States, which has called for a U.N. condemnation of Colombia for its failure to go after the terrorists, has offered support to Mexico.

1GIUK - EC2003 GIUK

The battle for Norway has been going on for roughly a week now.

European and Russian forces have managed to capture more than half of Norway so far. The remaining Norwegian forces fled to the southern part of the country, surrounded and fighting on all fronts.
US reinforcements have started flying in to Norway 72 hours ago.
The first US-European air battle occured 12 hours ago.

The invasion and occupation of Poland is nearing its end, as Russian and German forces have met at the outskirts of Warsaw. Upon completion of this operation more European and Russian forces will be available for redeployment.

With US strength in Norway increasing as fresh personnel and material arrive, a major conflict between the newly founded Euro-Russian-Federation and US-Norwegian forces is bound to take place.

War between NATO and Russia has begun. As Russia is the agressor, its forces are prepared for war while NATO only has its routine patrols active. Russia is trying to conquer Reykjavik and Orland. NATO must obstruct this Russian operation.

NATO must try to destroy as many ships and subs as it can. Also it must prohibit Russian amphibious forces from reaching Reikjavik or Orland.
US forces: A carrier task force is travelling from USA to UK, so it can appear at any location. Two submarine wolfpacks are sailing near Iceland. USAF, US Navy, and US Marine Corps have forces at Reykjavik.
UK forces: There are two carrier task forces in the Norwegian Sea. Also, the British have two submarine wolfpacks at the zone.
Norway forces: Norwegian air forces are placed at Orland. There is also a surface battlegroup and a submarine wolfpack.

Sixth Battle

This scenario is a tribute to The Sixth Battle by Barrett Tillman.

Several large Soviet battle groups, now operating under the banner of the Union of Eurasian Republics (UER), have assembled off the coast of South Africa. Their intention is to force a change of power in the Republic of South Africa (RSA), into one that favors the African National Congress (ANC) and, indirectly, the Front Line States (FLS) of Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe. The UER has cut a deal with the ANC and FLS to form a cartel that would extend to all of the RSA’s resources, including uranium. Hard line regimes in the client states of Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam have pledged their assistance. The UER and its allies in the region have overwhelming firepower, and the South Africans stand virtually no chance without American intervention.

The elderly US Navy carrier USS Ranger is the only NATO carrier in the Indian Ocean, and it can count on little support from other friendly forces. The Ranger battle group has been planning for several days the best way to attack the UER carriers, plotting and wargaming several possible options, and now they think they have found a winning idea.

This scenario is a RED side sequel to my earlier scenario, Sixth Battle, which of course is a tribute to a favorite novel of mine, The Sixth Battleby Barrett Tillman. Although some effort has been expended atrecreating the battle depicted in that book, I have also taken variedsome of the events and players to make a workable Harpoon scenario. Thescenario background contained in the file is considerably moredetailed, but essentially:

Several large Soviet battle groups,now operating under the banner of the Union of Eurasian Republics(UER), have assembled off the coast of South Africa. Their intention isto force a change of power in the Republic of South Africa (RSA), intoone that favors the African National Congress (ANC) and, indirectly,the Front Line States (FLS) of Angola, Mozambique and Zimbabwe.

Hard line regimes inthe client states of Cuba, North Korea, and Vietnam have pledged theirassistance.

The American carrier forces have been caught out ofposition. Meanwhile, Task Force Rybakov has taken up station off thecoast of the Republic of South Africa (RSA). The Pacific Fleet carrierNovorossiysk has been delayed but is now transiting the MozambiqueChannel and should be on station and ready to conduct operations within24 hours. Our amphibious landings in the RSA will be supported by airstrikes from the carriers. The South Africans stand virtually no chancewithout American intervention. Now is our time to strike.

The 74th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



Let’s Go to War

Let’s Go to War - WestPac

What if China carried out its threat to attack Taiwan? What if North Korea launched an offensive against South Korea? What if an reinvigorated Russia was complicit with both aggressors? What if these conflicts happened at the same time? This scenario examines the hypothetical worst case scenario, the stuff of nightmares for WestPac war planners.

Following the brutal crackdown in Tibet and the subsequent boycott of the 2008 Olympics in Beijing by many Western nations, the PRC entered a time of what many considered a period of awakening. It was thought that maybe these were the last throes of Chinese Communist Party, and that the emergence of democracy was finally within grasp. Ultimately it proved to be just a dream. The PRC's attack against Taiwan was sudden and absolutely vicious. Rather than commit the bulk of its valuable naval and air forces to the battle, the PRC unleashed a terrifying bombardment of short range ballistic missiles. This, of course, had been expected, but the sheer ferocity of the missile attack was not, nor was the use of a new and deadly nerve agent. Caught unprepared, Taiwan had no chance.

To make matters worse, North Korea reversed its decision to withdraw from a policy of nuclear brinkmanship. A previously unknown nuclear processing facility was discovered, revealed and then flaunted by Pyongyang, together with an array of crude nuclear weapons delivery systems. When the South Koreans and Americans railed against this dangerous turn of events, and threatened response, the DPRK did not hesitate. A withering assault was thrown across the DMZ within days, and Washington took no chances. Select low level nuclear strikes were made against certain North Korean targets, decapitating and eliminating the DPRK atomic arsenal.

Just when it was believed things could not get any uglier, the nationalists in Moscow announced their support for the forced reunification of the PRC and ROC, and complained loudly and bitterly against the American nuclear pre-emption. The Russian support for Beijing and the opposition against Washington was not only political, however, it was military.

Failsafe

Failsafe - Bering Strait Battleset.

Tensions with the Soviet Union are at an all time high. The President and the Joint Chiefs have just ordered Defense Condition 2 (DEFCON 2), as it is believed that an attack by the USSR may be imminent. Intelligence reports and analysis indicate that if it comes, it will occur sometime within the next forty-eight (48) hours.

In preparation to meet the threat, Strategic Air Command (SAC) has launched a previously unannounced Giant Bracket exercise, directing the forward deployment of elements of the 97th Bomb Wing to Elmendorf AFB, Alaska. Its aircraft (primarily a force of B-52 bombers) are now operating there in conjunction with other supporting USAF units.

In the event that National Command Authority (NCA) orders Defense Condition 1 (DEFCON 1), which will be a confirmation of an impending Soviet attack, SAC assets are directed to immediately take up their fail safe positions and stand by for further orders.

Intruders from the North

A country has established a small air base along the northern coast line and is striking Australian bases. While intended to play as blue, you can play as red too although the defences are marginal so it should be a walk over.

Commerce Raider

Commerce raiding or guerre de course is a naval strategy of attacking an opponent's commercial shipping rather than contending for control of the seas with its naval forces. The objective is to make the war too expensive for the opponent to continue it. Usually, commerce raiding is chosen by the weaker naval power who has little chance to succeed against the naval forces of its opponent.

South Africa

A Battleset for Harpoon Classic Commanders' Edition

It is 1988. South Africa is still governed by President Botha, who symbolizes the Apartheid regime. The country is shaken by riots and a state of emergency is declared. South Africa´s neighbours are waiting for a chance to overthrow the Apartheid-Regime in Pretoria.

Meanwhile, the Glasnost Era between the US and the USSR ends abruptly. A few days after the Moscow Summit in May/June, Gorbachev is ousted by a Communist Coup. All hopes for an end of the Cold War have gone to pieces within hours. The new strong man is Secretary Ligatschow. He vows to re-establish "law and order" and to strengthen Communism all over the world.

The US Government led by President Reagan is caught by surprise. US forces have to be quickly re-positioned and prepared for what may come. But where will the USSR start to re-establish its tight grip? The Politburo chooses South Africa. Large parts of the Red Fleet are already in this area. South Africa is an outlaw in the Western World because of its Apartheid regime. Its strategic importance is obvious. Its neighbours will support any attack on the Regime. Thus, the Soviets draw their plan.

By chance there is one US Carrier Battlegroup in the area. And so an epic battle starts.

Even More Wrath

This is a remake of the scenario "Wrath" originally produced for the EC2003 Battle for the IOPG Battleset. It is intended for play by the Blue side only.

HNN Dateline Sarajevo

Sources confirmed today that the suicide truck bomb that killed 28 and injured more than 100 American soldiers last week was tied to the recent string of terrorist attacks against American targets. The attack, said one government official, fit the profile of several Middle Eastern groups and is thought to be sponsored by several countries hostile to the American presence in the Persian Gulf.

In Paris, the French Foreign Minister was asked if the current attacks against the Americans would cause the French government to reconsider the US sanctions against Iran and Libya. He said abruptly "No terrorism is a world wide problem," and that punishing French and other European companies because America is unpopular in those markets was absurd. He went on To say that "It's time America came down off her high horse and joined the World community as an equal and stop pretending to be the world's Father Figure."

During a UN meeting the US Secretary of State took the podium and issued a terse response to the French Foreign Minister. "Terrorism exists in the world today in its current form because continental powers are too timid to respond to the open hostilities of the Arab world. France in particular should be ashamed that it continues to expand its trade with rogue nations such as Iran, Iraq and Libya." The Secretary closed his speech by saying that the US would seek out and punish those responsible for attacks against Americans no matter where they live, and any country harboring, protecting or supporting these fugitives would also feel the weight of American justice.

The Kurile Islands have been a point of contention between Japan and the Soviet Union since the end or World War Two. Even following the collapse of the Soviet state, the area remains disputed. Japan claims that the southern most of the Islands, which were not specifically covered in the Treaty of San Francisco of 1951, are rightfully Japanese Territory. Negotiations have yet to settle this dispute.

The year is 2014, and the world is at war. Israel, Syria, and Iran are in ruins after a series of nuclear exchanges. Egypt and Turkey have remained neutral. Russia has taken advantage of the situation by allying with the Sicilan mafia, which has been the de facto government since the Italian revolution of 2012. Libya and Tunisia are also in the Russian sphere. The UK sent a CVBG, with American assitance, to assist Israel, in vain. This group must now return through the straits of Malta.

Drakeski's Passage

The time is the near future and the world is at war. The collapse of the US economy in the crash of 2012 has led to opportunism all over the world. Venezuela has extended basing rights to Russian ships and aircraft, to exert pressure on a prostrate USA. Russia, with its newly resurgent navy, is sending naval units around Cape Horn to take advantage of this situation. Chile, Argentina, and Brazil, honoring their relationship with the US, have stated that they will contest this passage. This scenario explores the ability of 2nd/3rd world nations to defend themselves against larger opponents.

Transit

A scenario in which you must seek out and destroy enemy in order to allow safe passage of a relatively weak supply convoy. Expect sea surface and subsurface vessels and land units to resist your passage. You will need to primarily use the aircraft from Australian and Singaporean airfields for this purpose.

Singapore has been under pressure from neighbouring countries to drop the close association it has formed with Australia and to add to their efforts to create a first order industrial power.

While there have been no hostilities a recent natural disaster has left Singapore in need of supplies which are being sent from Australia, an initial delivery of armaments has been delivered by two Hercules which are still on ground at Singapore (AFa).

Trophy Hunters



In 1969, thousands of Chinese workers began arriving at the Tanzanian port of Dar es Salaam and immediately set to work on the TAZARA project, a national railway that would stretch deep into the East African interior and would not only connect remote rural communities but also drive across southern Tanzania into the Zambian copper belt. Back then Tanzanian national leaders had first approached Western nations to assist with the project, but one after another, the USA, Great Britain, and even the United Nations and the Soviet Union, all turned them down. The Communist Chinese, however, seized the opportunity, and now, nearly 50 years later, the investment was paying off in a big way. Large deposits of uranium have been discovered near the northern end of Lake Nyasa, and the People's Republic of China is keen to realize on its long term investment. Unfortunately, the area is also the subject of a longstanding boundary dispute between Tanzania and its western neighbor, Malawi. Perhaps repeating the transgressions of the Western colonial powers more than a hundred years before, the Chinese are not about to permit anything to stand in the way of their plans for strategic economic gain.

In response to rising tensions between Malawi and Tanzania, the PRC has moved significant military forces into Tanzania. Officially they report an invitation by the government in Dodoma to safeguard the joint economic interests of Tanzania and the PRC in the mineral deposits near Mbeya. However, the force is much larger than that one would ordinarily expect for simple security. It is now reported that a small force of Malawi Army regulars were discovered beyond the border control post and that they have been summarily executed by the Chinese. Moreover, movement of refugees in the Chitipa and Karonga regions of Malawi is reported subject to Chinese scrutiny and approval, such that very few people are being permitted to cross the border. Survey and drilling equipment has even been spotted in some remote parts of Karonga.

Paralyzer



In the first scenario of this multi part campaign, called Threshold, we examined what happened when the Israelis carried out a preemptive air strike against what they believed to be a Syrian nuclear weapons research facility. In the aftermath of that action, full scale war has now broken out between Syria and Israel, and Iran is vowing to join the cause against the Zionist aggressors.

This second scenario will continue to examine the possible result of a single aimed pre-emptive strike, and the resulting ever widening conflagration.

Blue Orders:

1.0. SITREP:

The Syrians have launched a full scale counter-attack in response to our successful preemptive strike against their recently reconstructed nuclear facility. As expected, the Syrians and the Iranians have also engineered a new wave of unrest and terrorist activity in both the Gaza Strip and Beirut. Fortunately, we were well prepared for that eventuality, and much of the terrorist activity in those locations has been suppressed, at least for the time being.

Our strike on the MV Al Hasan, a merchant ship delivering nuclear materials from Iran, has been deemed a success. At last report, she was burning and partially capsized in the harbor at Tartus. Unfortunately, the Russians are reporting having received minor damage to their nuclear powered battlecruiser Petr Velikiy, which was also moored there. Our pilots swear they did not target or unintentionally hit the Russian warship, but she is nevertheless reporting damage, and has been observed leaving Tartus streaming a column of thick smoke. Suffice to say, Moscow is protesting loudly and both the Syrians and Iranians are taking advantage of this unfortunate development.

Tehran is pledging full military support for the Syrians and is requesting Russian military support to defend Islamic nations in the region from Zionist hostile action. Intelligence indicates that Iranian military forces are mobilizing, including a sharp rise in activity at known ballistic missile bases.

Scimitar



In the first and second scenarios of this multi part campaign, we saw what happened when the Israelis carried out a preemptive air strike against a Syrian nuclear research facility, and the ferocity of the combined Syrian-Iranian response.

In this third instalment in the series, the crisis has deepened and expanded into a regional war in which old superpowers threaten to become involved.

1.0. SITREP:

First the good news. The clash with the Syrian air force has resolved largely in our favor, and the surprise raid on the Iranian nuclear facilities near Esfahan have been deemed a success. We also believe, but cannot confirm, that the Syrians and Iranians have exhausted their ballistic missile inventory for the time being. Our effort, however, has spent much of our air force's immediately available capability and we are attempting to reconstitute the force.

Now the bad news. Despite heavy losses, Syrian ground forces have crossed into the Golan Heights once again. An enemy armored group has seized the Israeli settlement at Neve Ativ and appears to be digging in nearby. Much of our army is preoccupied in Gaza and in providing disaster relief in the wake of missile attacks on civilian centers, and we have been slow to respond in the Golan.

Moreover, it appears that the Russians are moving to support the Syrian offensive. So called Russian peacekeepers are arriving in force aboard Il-76 airlifters at Latakia and Damascus, and there are reports of Russian air force squadrons also arriving in concert with them. There are also rumours of similar movements in Iran, but these are as yet unconfirmed.

Also, the Russian navy battlecruiser Petr Velikiy has rounded Cyprus and appears to be returning to eastern Mediterranean waters. Her specific intentions are unknown at this time.

The Americans have advised, via back channels, that they are turning around a carrier group near Yemen and sending it back up the Red Sea. They have not, as yet, promised direct support but it appears likely they will offer same.

Hammerfall



Thus far, this multi part campaign has witnessed Israel carry out a preemptive strike in defense of the nation, only to ignite a wider regional conflict which resulted in the destruction of both Nevatim and Damascus by nuclear fire. Russia has condemned the action and come to the aid of Syria and Iran, moving troops into both countries to help defend against them against what they have called Israel's bald faced nuclear aggression. Though continuing to put up a vigorous defense, Israel is clearly out muscled by the combined power of its enemies. Though late arriving on the scene, an American carrier strike force is now pushing north through the Red Sea.

1.0. SITREP:

In response to the terror bombing of the Knesset and the nuclear attack against Nevatim, we have responded with strategic weapons against both Damascus and Tehran. Though the strike on Damascus was a success, the Jericho III ICBM launched against Tehran failed for some reason that remains unknown.

Russia has stepped up its attacks on our airfields and has moved substantial forces into Lebanon and the Golan Heights. Steady streams of Russian transport aircraft are flying into Latakia (ZZa) and Hama (ZUa), and more resupply is believed to be arriving from the Black Sea. The situation on the northern frontier is desperate. Fortunately Washington is finally responding, and the Truman carrier strike group is now heading to the region.

Korea '51

Situated on and around the Korean Penninsular dating early 1950s this is loosley based on the Korean War. As in that conflict there isn't a lot of naval action, mostly (in this scenario) air to air and air to ground action. While ground to ground action isn't an intended feature of Harpoon, it is also available if you wish to pursue it.

Your primary mission is to protect your bases on the Korean Peninsula. You must destroy or severely damage land units that are expected to advance towards your positions and to reduce enemy fighter numbers. At least one enemy base should be targeted to either reduce sea transport links vital to the enemy or to reduce their ability to launch air attacks.

USSR and Chinese aircraft are known to be operating in the region and are suspected to be assisting the North Korean forces. However, they should only be engaged if they show definite signs of intended aggression. Aircraft operating out of Japenese bases are considered highly valued and should return to home base between sorties.

Additional limited support is available from two carrier groups. For purposes of self defence their aircraft resources should return directly from each mainland mission. Although the enemy equipment is dated they have significant resources, don't expect to be home for Christmas.

F-94 Korea

This was in the begining a test scenario to test unguided air-to-air rockets, basically in the F-94C Starfire, and his effectiveness (I was very dubtious about the capability in the game of a unguided rocket to hit in a flying airplane). But now I think it can be very simple introductory scenario to Harpoon HCE, mostly for old time interception and worth of release it, with the flavour of the early 1950s.

The situation report is very simple, your're at the command of the 39th Fighter Interceptor Squadron near 1954, temporarily deployed from Komaki AFB, Japan, to South Korea (and very reinforced in strength), and equipped with the new Lockheed F-94C Starfire (derived from the F-80/T-33), all-weather interceptor exclusively armed with unguided air-to-air rockets (the famous 2.75" FFAR Mk4 Mighty Mouse), to defend Seoul from upcoming streams of communist bombers breaking the 1953 ceasefire !

Brush Wars Scenario 01 - Business As Usual

The front lines of the Global War on Terror have always been intermixed with regional security and stability issues. In the Southern Philippines, the local government is still battling with decades-old adversaries; remainders of Communist rebels and militas intent on an Islamic breakaway territory. Add to that mix new players such as Al-Qaeda and drug-smuggling rings and you've got a heady brew waiting to boil over. Since 2002, the US Navy has provided soft and hard support in the southern conflict, but keeping a low-key profile. Case in point: US forces consisting of medical, construction and civil affairs elements have been dispatched from the main city of Zamboanga to an outpost on Basilan Island. Providing humanitarian aid effort to win over the local populace is a critical part of the COIN strategy. If successful, the campaign will remove another base of support for anti-government forces. Securing Basilan opens the way to the rest of the island chain leading south to Sabah where numerous terror camps have started to pop up.

This is a relatively low-tech scenario from an organic fires perspective (no SAMs or SSMs), but it reflects the reality of assymetrical warfare. One side enjoys a sensor and communication advantage. The other enjoys numbers and ability to strike and fade at will. Managing and preserving your combat power while applying maximum effort to the opponent's vulnerabilities is the key to victory.

Napoleon's Revenge

The detonation of an unauthorised nuclear weapon in the war between the European alliance and the USA has led to the UK pulling out of the European alliance and declaring neutrality in the conflict. France sees this action as both treacherous and cowardly and has released many official statements condemning the UK but going no further.

Despite both France and Great Britain having significant military hardware, abroad it seems certain that France will launch an attack against the British Isles.

Operation Lone Avenue

In the near future, the global economy remains stagnant and nations once committed to protecting the shipping lifelines of the world make deep budgetary cuts particularly in defense spending. As a result, the world's navies have gradually withdrawn from the Horn of Africa, leaving a dedicated few to continue the long patrols.

Japan has become the dominant maritime power in the region. The US Navy's presence is a mere shell of it's former glory. Ashore, the war over Somalia has stalemated. The African Federal Union has finally seized Mogadishu. The Islamic Foundation of Justice is fighting a two front-war against both the Federalists and a hard-core pirate coalition on the coasts. All sides are exhausted from the protracted conflict and have agreed to a temporary cease-fire. But the IFJ has called upon their trump card; surging from the Persian Gulf is a renewed Iran, intent on spreading their militant philosophy to the shores of Africa...

Coral Sea

The battle for the Coral Sea was at the time said by many prominent Australians to have saved our skin. Later available evidence makes that uncertain but in any case it was interesting from an historical warfare point (first sea battle without surface forces facing off) and a turning point in the "Pacific War".

Here we have a scenario structured on the Coral Sea situation, as best as I can.

Allied intelligence has intercepted Japanese communications and determined that a strike force is headed out of the Pacific to attack Port Moresby. This is part of an overall strategy to rid America from the Pacific and allow the Japanese to move through out the region. Port Moresby must be held.

Smiling Buddha – EC2003 IOPG

The year is 2013 and the balance of power has shifted. The threat of Chinese liquidation of American debt has left the Chinese as the main military power in the Pacific, and the battle lines in the Mideast are hardening as Chinese weapons sales are now unchecked. Iran, after many delays in its nuclear wepons programs, has ordered and paid for a package of thermonuclear warheads for its existing missiles. Israel has promised that the delivery of these warheads will result in a nuclear attack on Iran. Pakistan, with the withdrawal of American support, seems inclined to support the delivery of these weapons. India, with a divided legislature and a shortage of modern weapons, will have to interrupt this delivery.

First Lightning

A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the Middle East Battleset.

It is October 1984. A financial crisis in Latin America has led to huge loan defaults in Argentina, Brazil and Chile. American banks, who had heavily financed the development efforts in Latin America, have been caught by surprise and are now in a serious slide. Washington took drastic steps and imposed a freeze upon banking transactions across the nation.

Then, a week ago, a terrorist bomb in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, claimed the life of the US ambassador and numerous civilians. At the same time, a guerilla movement believed to have ties to that terror attack and backed by the Soviet Union, toppled the Omani government in the wake of massive financial losses in its banking sector.

American peacekeepers have moved into Saudi Arabia after rebellious elements of the Saudi army moved to occupy the holy city of Mecca. It is the largest commitment of American troops since the Vietnam war. Moscow has bitterly criticised the American presence in the Persian Gulf, calling it a grave act of provocation.

Three days ago, the new regime in Oman allied with Tehran to impose a toll on tankers passing through the Strait of Hormuz. All tanker traffic in the Gulf has now come to a stop.

The Headbutts

This is series of three HCE scenarios, intended primarily for beginning and intermediate HCE players. They are small, and playable from RED or BLUE in each case. I hope that these will serve as a training tool for beginners, and an overview of the relative capabilities of American, French, Russian, and British carrier groups around 2014 or so for more advanced players. "Historical" accuracy is a goal, so Tomcats, Backfires, Vikings, etc. are absent in this collection. A guide to the included aircraft and weapons derived from the HCDB 101213 database, giving weapon speeds, ESM details, etc. is included with each scenario. Please use this database as older ones will cause inaccurate play balance.

This package will be followed in time with much more difficult scenarios playable by one side only.

Butt1 USA vs Russia, South Africa. Easy (BLUE) Difficult (RED)

Butt3 UK and Denmark vs Russia, GIUK, Intermediate (BLUE) Intermediate (RED) and somewhat larger.

Battle of Latakia

A Harpoon Commander's Edition (HCE) scenario for the Middle East Battleset and the HCE Cold War (HCCW) Database.

The Battle of Latakia was a small naval battle fought on 7 October 1973, during the Yom Kippur War. It was the first naval engagement to involve an exchange of anti-ship surface to surface missiles and in which electronic warfare played a principal role. The Syrians were equipped with Soviet supplied Project 183 Komar and Project 205 Osa class missile boats armed with the P-15 Termit (NATO SS-N-2 Styx), a weapon that had already stung Israel almost exactly six years earlier, with the loss of the destroyer INS Eilat on 20 October 1967. The Styx had twice the range of the Israeli Gabriel, and a much larger warhead. To meet the threat, the Israelis would need every once of guile, wit and and courage that they could muster.

The 6th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



LCS goes to War. Battle off Vietnam 2015

This scenario is inspired in the current (January 2011) discussions about the Littoral Control Ship, her future, her future missions and her future fate. In a surprising decission with the absurd allegation of budgetary eficiency, on November 2010 the US Navy decides to purchase a great number of LCS, when yet are not resolved a myriad of issues relatives to the ship design, concept and tasks. The US Navy will purchase ten ships of each one of the concurrent designs (added to the previous four), and not declare a winner neither select only one design for series shipbuilding. In particular this scenario is motived when in some blog someone asked a few days ago: "How a group of LCS can stand before a Chinese Sovrenmenny ?".

Historical background (Hypothetical):

The near future, summer 2015. A constant succession of new challenges in a fast changing world. At the other extreme of the world Argentina has seized the Falklands/Malvinas Islands on August 2011, and the failure of the reduced British forces sent without air support to recover the islands has motivated a great lack of credibility on the Western military capacities. In Europe, the Islamic Supremacy groups are forcing the European Union governments to be aside of the global issues. Europe is not already a player. Only very reduced US forces are keeping a credible operational readiness in the Western countries. China sees on it an opportunity to expose clearly and affirm what is his strategic influence zone, the countries from which he needs to import raw strategic materials and other resources, and the external markets that considers as of his exclusive property for import and export of manufactured goods, and in those China will not tolerate the intromission of powers strange to Asian countries. His strategic influence zone is very similar in extension and configuration to the previous Japanese Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, and it will motivate the same type of troubles in the Pacific Ocean.

And remember, the intelligence estimates ever can be erroneous ...

Evacuation through the Alboran Sea 2012

Spring 2012: As a last backslash to the 2011 turmoils in the North Africa and Middle East Muslim World, in Morocco the moderate laicist Government of National Unity of Abdelhadi Boucetta (With the decisive support of his intellectual and glamorous wife) replacing for less than a year the deposed King Mohammed VI (Exiled to the ONA-Managem luxury mining facilities in Equatorial Guinea), has been overthrowed by the Islamic extremists after a long and painful agony.

The new Moroccan islamist Government of the now named Muslim Brotherhood in the Islamic Maghreb, counts with the opposition of a important sector of the Moroccan people, basically the most literate and pro-Western sector. Preventing a possible unrest, remembering the internal public reaction to the ill-fated Moroccan invasion of the Spanish Perejil Island on 2002, the new Islamic government has fixed as national target for amagalmation of the public opinion the seizure of the North-African Spanish Automous cities of Ceuta and Melilla, a long-time Moroccan claim. As both cities are very vulnerable without room for a possible in depth military defence, and the other new strategic targets and ambitions of the Spanish Government are now well known and the last years was retiring troops and police corps from both Ceuta and Melilla, there is a window of vulnerability the Islamic faction has well exploited.

With a Moroccan Police and Secret Service organized human waves of thousands of desesperate low-class Moroccan people jumping, breaking through, bending and for last tearing apart the divisory fence between both cities and Morocco, in face of the passivity of the Spanish security forces to avoid the loss of human lives (Action and reaction very similar to the Moroccan Green March occupation of the Spanish Sahara on November 1975, against a confuse Spanish government when Franco layed dying), the Moroccans had de facto occuppied both cities. Facing a not-return case, the Spanish citizens are assembled by the authorities in the cities ports, waiting for maritime evacuation (Only Melilla counts with a very small airport).

Remembering the success of the current Somalia pirates, and the success of the traditional historical activity of the Barbary Coast pirates (Only finished with the French conquest in North Africa in the XIX Century, after the previous famous actions of the USN and USMC), and for enforce more the moral of the Moroccan People, the Islamic government has decided to prevent the evacuation and the loss of richess and qualified manpower. In the tradition of their ancestors the Barbary pirates, they want capture them for ransom, or if not destroy and sunk the merchant ships carring them, to shown the weakness of the Spanish government and his incapatility to protect his own nationals.

In Spain, after the 2012 polls, the unstable socialist government of Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero and his long-time Defence Minister Carmen Chacon, has had to suffer the pressure of the peripherical nationalistic parties of his coalition of government, and to lend to his desires. After the resignation of General Felix Sanz Roldan as head of the Centro Nacional de Inteligencia and his replacement by a puppet civilian, nothing can be opposed to the nationalistic parties desires. As their first demand is the recuperation of the old territories of the Kingdom of Aragon, most of the surface forces of the Spanish Navy and a great number of his air assets are deployed in forward bases in the Balearic Islands and in the Central Mediterranean. As a result of it, facing the worst-case possible scenario, only limited forces are available for escorting the evacuation of Spanish refugees from Ceuta and Melilla.

In this scenario, the Soviets launch a much more overt effort to support the North in the closing days of their campaign, seeking to ensure their own grip on Cam Ranh Bay and the vital sea lanes of the Western Pacific. The administration in Washington, red faced from the Watergate scandal and looking for diversions, turns to face the Communist threat once more.

Having become engulfed in the protests and demonstrations cascading across Middle Eastern nations, Libya is now in full revolt. Benghazi has fallen to, some might say been liberated by, the anti-government movement which is sweeping west toward Tripoli. Colonel Muammar Gaddafi, leader of this North African country for more than 40 years, refuses to leave power and is instead tightening his grip. Although many have abandoned the regime, a considerable number of forces still loyal to Gaddafi have been conducting arrests, abductions, and killings to try and stop the tides of change. It is reported that Gaddafi is promising wealth and position to local officials, political leaders and armed forces commanders in an effort to guarantee their support and obedience. With the military now taking an active role in suppressing the rebels, launching air strikes and ground attacks, the country is slipping rapidly into civil war.

Submarines Galore 89

A submarine-only scenario without other diversions, inspired by some old scenario booklets of the Harpoon 3 series, good for testing submarines, submarine tactics, sonars, torpedoes and other ASW weapons. Perhaps the Western submarines are numerically over-represented, but it's reflecting the original and very reduced in number of submarines paper scenarios. Also it's configured as a vanilla scenario for lazy players wanting to enjoy a simple pastime, and with the aim of replayability thanks to the aleatority of the starting positions and of the units presence or not presence. I think it's playable at the 10 or even 30 minutes time compression ... before any contact.

Scenario Background:

At the start of the WWIII in the North Atlantic on 1989, the bad weather and also the political uncertitude precludes the use of air and surface assets. To keep low the social unrest because the war, the opening naval actions are limitated to the discrete submarine operations, in a situation remembrance of the 1939 Phony War and of the 1994 Tom Clancy's novel Debt of Honor (where both Japan and the United States are in war against the other, but both governments are occulting the fact to his respective public opinions to prevent the collapse of the stock markets), but these underwater actions are not less decisive or murderous than a full open war.

And reflecting all the knowledge adquired the last years in some matters, as about Soviet/Russian platforms and forces composition.

Spratly

In 2019 Asia has taken on a new political appearance. During the decade Australia has produced wealth from the establihment of a significant carbon trade (Carbon Reduction Trading Scheme) and has used that wealth to impose significant influence on surrounding countries, Asian countries in particular, and has formed (and controlled) the now powerfull Greater Australasian Economic Convention (GAEC). Only Taiwan has remained outside of GAEC although it is strongly held that there is significant co-operation and that its non-member status is only at the official level.

GAEC has slowly restricted much of China's requirements for expansion, particularly in respect of energy, with much of the resources available to GAEC going to the individually small, but collectively large, GAEC member countries.

Current tension is high after a month of strong diplomatic actions by both sides and GAEC conducting Naval exercises within the South China Sea (refered to by GAEC as the Viet-Malay Sea).

In 2015 the Chinese Government decides that American resolve regarding Taiwan is weakening. The crash of 2012 has reduced US defence spending radically, and a timid and isolationist administration in Washington will likely be poorly prepared. Japan and Korea, having ejected all american forces, will not be a factor. To eliminate the need for an invasion, it has been decided that a preemptive strike on Andersen AFB is necessary. We are certain that we will achieve suprise.

The 87th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

It is Christmas 2012. Royal Navy ADM Robert Lawrence (YOU) has a problem. Iran has closed the Straits of Hormuz in retaliation for the Israeli/US attack on its nuclear weapons program. Most of the Gulf States have expressed their dissapproval and will wait this out. The political situation prevents the USA from helping in any overt way. The NATO anti piracy forces are the only assets available. Fortunately, you have three carriers. Unfortunately, you will have to lead from the rear, as UK defense reductions have left you with only helicopters. Deliver three supertankers to Bahrain to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf.

The 40th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!



This is a dual-version release for Harpoon 3 and Harpoon Classic and is the first scenario released by Alpha77 (a.k.a. FrankW). The sheer size of this scenario is capable of crashing computers in both HC and H3. Be forewarned!

Red Lightning 2

The coup in Russia succeeded. Not only was the President imprisoned, but also the freedom movements in Poland and the German Democratic Republic were suppressed, not with violence, but more quietly. First, they were shocked by the turmoil in the Kremlin, but soon the relations between the sides normalized because the new government in Russia seemed reasonable. They wanted a new deal with the U.S. for delivery of non-military items and US business needed new deals (under pressure from the White House to be friendlier with the East). The West German Chancellor, who was mostly a puppet for big corporations that wanted more exports to the East, met with eastern President Lisy to discuss new trade deals. He was impressed by the change of language - the new officials seemed to be more realistic and friendlier than the old guard around Honecker.

They know little of what was happening. In reality, the military planned to get back the old Soviet glory and demand what was rightfully theirs. If demand wasn't working, maybe pressure would. First, the old Finnish wound should be healed. As their demand was not really bad (a 'least' of the old territories which the Generals felt belonged to Russia), the Finns caved in to avoid a second Winter War. However, the Russians did not stop there. They wanted better protection of their northern flank. Sweden was strictly neutral and too strong, so Norway was the only option.

NATO was not prepared. It had been lulled into a state of calm by the new warm climate between the blocs, but the Home Guard was not. Unfortunately, they were few. Russian Spetsnaz and paratroops suddenly stormed key bases and the tanks came later. There were not many NATO forces in Norway. It was over quickly. The Norwegian government called a cease-fire with the terms offered by the Russians that only the northern half of the country to be occupied. The remainder became a Norwegian 'Vichy'. The few US Marines fled to Denmark with their surviving helicopters and Harriers as well as remnants of the Norwegian Air Force.

While NATO was still discussing their reaction, the Russians made their next coup, demanding free passage for all shipping from Denmark. If this demand was met, the case would be settled and there would be peace. The Danes had a resolute Prime Minister who sent Moscow a package with a letter and a bottle: "You can have this bottle of Danish beer for free, but not more."

This scenario is a re-make of the Harpoon Classic scenario Lightning2 originally written by Alpha77 (a.k.a. FrankW) for the Harpoon Designer's Series III (HDS9 Battleset). It has been re-written for Harpoon3 and the PlayersDB with the consent of the author.
