A new Harpoon 3 scenario from Brad Leyte's Cyprus Affair battleset is now finished and ready for play. It is a Harpoon3 re-make of Brad's popular Harpoon Classic New World Order series.

NEW WORLD ORDER SERIES: THE CYPRUS AFFAIR CAMPAIGN #2

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 the previous year.

The NSC was about to be proven wrong.

#1 IMPETUS TO DISASTER

This first scenario examines the opening NSC attacks on Turkey. While Turkish forces are at full readiness and deployed in combat formations, they are primarily oriented towards the operation in Cyprus. By the time they became aware of NSC intentions late in the day of 2 June, 1995, it was much too late. Witness the power of the new Soviet military machine.

This scenario is dedicated to Marine Bryan Ott; a fine fellow and Harpoon enthusiast.

This scenario requires the latest release of the PlayersDB v5.9.7

The first game of a new Battleset has been loaded to FoSS. This is an experiment in making an H3 battleset where your performance in the first game determines your starting position in the next.

FilesOfScenShare

Play this game from either side, save the game when you have either won or when the Scenario Duration has expired, and then send me a saved game! I will look at the result of your game and Modify the second scenario in the battleset to reflect units that you destroyed or lost, ordnance expended, as well as ensure that the Victory Conditions of the next game are adjusted so that they are challenging and achievable. I might even have to adjust the storyline based on your results!

The first scenario concerns war between the Netherlands and France in 2003; two nations each with a modern Navy and Air Force and with Belgium in between them. I have three scenario's ready from the French side, and two from the Dutch side.

All games have been tested by one avid harpooner beside myself, and, unfortunately, for you, I've had to make the AI as strong as I know how to give him a good challenge!

There is, of course, no catch; I've enjoyed making these scenarios and hope you will enjoy playing them. Well... no catch... except if hundreds of people send me saved games, it might take some time to reply!

MATCHPLAY

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

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

Well, it's been a week since the last New Scenario release so.....
time to release another one! biggrin

Mauled by the Bear is a new Harpoon 3 scenario and is now ready for play. It is the latest installment from Brad Leyte's Cyprus Affair battleset and is a Harpoon3 re-make of Brad's popular Harpoon Classic New World Order series.

NEW WORLD ORDER SERIES: THE CYPRUS AFFAIR CAMPAIGN #2

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 the previous year.

The NSC was about to be proven wrong.

#2 MAULED BY THE BEAR

Heeding the lessons learned as an observer of the 1991 Gulf War, the NSC pounded Turkish military bases and command facilities with air strikes for the first few days of the conflict. By 11 June, most Turkish bases in the north of the country were either destroyed or severely damaged. NATO was protesting loudly against NSC actions, but as yet, no major strategic moves have been made. This scenario examines the difficulty experienced by the Turks in their attempt to defend the northern half of their country while confined to bases in the south.

SECRET - TurMilNet 0750Z110695

Fr: CinC MilCom Turkey
To: All Turkish forces

Subj: Conflict with NSC

1. SitRep

The NSC offensive has been scaled back. Only occasional sorties have been detected in the past 24 hours. Enemy intentions are unknown.

2. ORDERS

Brothers! Take Heart! We are still able to continue the fight from bases situated in southern Turkey. It is imperative that we continue operations from there. Defend the nation as best you can.

3. RULES OF ENGAGEMENT

Warning level RED. WEAPONS FREE. Engage and repel NSC forces.

The second scenario of a new Battleset Service Experiment is now ready. This is an experiment in making an H3 battleset whereby your performance in the first game determines your starting position in the next.

FilesOfScenShare

Play the first game from either side, save the game when you have either won or when the Scenario Duration has expired, and then send me a saved game! I will look at the result of your game and Modify the next scenario in the battleset to reflect units that you destroyed or lost, ordnance expended, as well as ensure that the Victory Conditions of the next game are adjusted so that they are challenging and achievable. I might even have to adjust the storyline based on your results!

MATCHPLAY

Holland has won a resounding victory over France. Especially in the air, a 5:1 kill rate was achieved. The complete French Atlantic fleet was sunk. The air and ground wars have now been stopped under UN pressure.

To reinforce the French fleet, the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is in transit from the Mediterranean to Brest. The UN has stopped all combat and your mission is to sink the Charles de Gaulle using your remaining Dutch submarines

MATCHPLAY

The Netherlands has lost a (surprising) number of F16s against France, but most pilots have bailed out over friendly territory and are fit to fly. Belgium F16s captured intact are being readied for operations.

Denmark also flies 62 F16-MLUs, based on two bases in Skrydstrup and Aalborg. A daring plan has been developed to raid the Danish airbase of Skrydstrup, neutralise the defences, bring in pilots and maintenance crews by plane, and fly the aircraft to the Netherlands.

Paul Bridge, a.k.a. Sirius, has released two new scenarios using the new Colonial Wars Database.

Return to Suez
Quote
All didn't go well for Israel in the 1967 War with her neighbours. Egypt has now closed the Suez Canal and has threatened any action to re-take the canal will be met with deadly force. US forces are committed to no action against Egypt, while France and the United Kingdom have mustered forces for the retake of the Suez Canal. Can the combined forces of the UK and France re-take Suez again (1956)? This time, Egypt has modern aircraft, surface ships, and submarines acquired from Russia during the early 60's including SS-N-2A Styx and air-launched anti-ship missiles from Badger aircraft. The time has come for Egypt to flex its muscles once again!
Franco's Folly
Quote
In 1963, the question of Gibraltar's status came before the UN Special Committee on De-Colonization and General Franco of Spain seized the opportunity to revive her claim for the return of the Rock to Spanish Sovereignty. Spain increased her border restrictions with Gibraltar and eventually closed the frontier and all other means of communications with the mainland in 1969. In the meantime, Spain decided to enforce the blockade and sailed the majority of her fleet to retake Gibraltar by force, by land, and by sea. The United Kingdom was caught by surprise with this and despatched HMS Eagle and Bulwark from Malta at maximum speed hoping to call Spain's bluff?

23rd Scenario posted since Christmas!

Uber-designer Fred Galano has really outdone himself. Not only has he released a new and improved version of the HUD II database for Harpoon3, he has also posted a new scenario, too!

Fred has re-made one of his Harpoon Classic Gold scenarios so that Harpoon 3 players can also enjoy it. Thanks for sharing it with us.

COLDNO1 - 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

This scenario requires the new H3DB.

25th Scenario Posted this Year!

NWCM3 - Carving Turkey

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.

Background:

Pleased that NATO has thus far remained only a verbal combatant in this war, the Kremlin became blind to the original objective - the liberation of Greek Cyprus. They suddenly realized that here was a golden opportunity to finally rid themselves of the age-old Bosporous-Dardenelles chokepoint. To do so, it would be necessary to invade and claim at least a portion of Turkish territory. An amphibious assault has been launched to carry out the mission.

Subj: Alert - Impending NSC Amphibious Assault

1. SitRep

Intelligence reports indicate that an NSC amphibious group has been assembled and is underway. It is heading south. The best estimate of enemy intentions is that they are planning to launch an amphibious assault against Turkish territory.

Also, it is possible that an NSC Surface Action Group is heading towards Cyprus.

2. ORDERS

Interdict, engage, and destroy the NSC amphibious group as soon as possible. Command is aware that only limited assets are available for this ASuW mission. You must make do with what you have. NATO continues to refuse reinforcements.

Your orders are clear. Stop the amphibious invasion now assembling in the Black Sea. It will be much more difficult to stop the Soviets if they make it to the beach.

27th Scenario posted this year!

Dave Steinmeyer has released his first Harpoon 3 scenario. He is the 9th author to post a scenario. Congratulations, Dave, and thanks for sharing your work with the community.

Lone Wolf

Three NATO diesel submarines travelled north together, guarding each other during snorkel periods. They had intended to conduct wolf-pack operations near the Soviet sub base at Polyarnyy. They have been plagued by bad luck, however. First, one unit was sunk by a Tango-class SS before the other two could sink it. Then as they approached their objective, one of the remaining two boats hit a mine and was lost. The remaining ship, a Dutch Walrus-class, continued north and has run afoul of a coastal ASW group.

Here's the latest Installment in the Indonesian Campaign

HarpoonHQ
and
StrategyZone Online

"BROADSIDES"
Date: 10th June 1966
Location: Andaman Sea
Sides: UK and ANZAC Forces

The Air Strikes were considered a success on the Indonesian Airbases, destroying many of the A.U.R.I aircraft in the air and on the ground. Most of the Badger aircraft have been destroyed but at least 6 still remain operational.

The down side of the attacks were the numerous losses to the Vulcan and Canberra's which were badly mauled by the Mig-21's.

HMS Eagle dispite her defenses was hit by single AS-1 missile and the resulting damage and fires destroyed her catapults and numerous aircraft in the hanger and flightdeck, at present ship is limping back to Perth for repairs.

HMAS Melbourne faired better only receiving minor damage from rocket fire and is now in Singapore awaiting spare aircraft to bring her depleted airgroup up to full strength.

HMS Victorious still remains trapped in drydock, but with continuing repairs to the drydock gates she should be floated out by the end of the week. A large proportion of her airgroup have been destroyed at the airbases in Singapore due to sneek air attacks and terrorist attacks, replacement aircraft are on route from the UK.

At present HMS Bulwark and her cover group comprising of the WW2 Cruiser HMS Belfast have sailed from Aden and have now entered the Andaman sea on route to Singapore. Bulwark has embarked 45 cdo Royal Marines and a full complement of Wessex helicopters for future operations and are a prime target, She is due to anchor near RAAF Butterworth to take on supplies and must be protected at all costs.

The KRI Irian is unlocated but believed to be in the area , air threat is light and the submarine threat is assessed as medium.

Can HMS Belfast protect the Bulwark .....the choice is yours !

30th Scenario posted this year!

Freek Schepers has posted his latest scenario. This is his first scenario to use the Colonial Wars database by Paul Bridge. We sincerely hope that it is not his last for this database. smile

CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS

In this scenario the forces are arranged as they were in the Caribbean on October 22nd 1962; the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis.

[Linked Image]

After the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, Cuba started re-arming with the most modern Soviet weapon systems. MiG-19 and -21 fighters armed with Atoll-AAM, SSM-armed missile boats, and SA-2 SAMs have been supplied to Cuba in early 1962. Training has been provided in the USSR and Soviet advisors and training units were moved to Cuba.

Early 1962: US recon planes spotted construction activity of what were evaluated to be missile launch pads and fleet harbours suitable for nuclear submarines.

Early October: Soviet merchant ships with covered tube-like deck cargo were spotted in the Dardanelles and in the G-I-UK gap heading southwestwardly. Submarines were also detected moving into the Atlantic by the brand-new but imperfect SOSUS sensors.

At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, these ships are approaching Cuba, where Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles are thought to be near operational status...

AAR: Cuban Missile Crisis [Spoiler Alert]
By Freek Schepers

[Linked Image]

After reading and re-reading my orders and the accompanying Rules of Engagement [ROE] from SACLant, I immediately double-checked to make certain that all of my units had their weapons Weapons on Safe status and were locked down. I certainly didn't want to be the initiator of nuclear shooting war!

I realized that many of my vessels were a long distance from the line that the President had designated as the limit of the quarantine zone. Therefore, I ordered all vessels in Guantanamo Bay to sortie. As well, much of NavSurfLant was currently positioned near Florida and Cuba. I elected to gamble and meet the freighters in a show of force at the boundaries of the Exclusion zone. My orders were quite clear. Under no circumstances was I to allow them entry into the Quarantine Zone. All vessels were ordered to full speed and a Combat Air Patrol [CAP] was launched from Guantanamo Bay. If this turned out to be a shooting war, she could expect to be attacked within minutes of it starting. I was very concerned about TF Iwo Jima. She was deep in the Caribbean, far from support, and pretty much limited by the search range of her helos.

[Linked Image]

Sabre fighters were launched to escort my Voodoo recon planes from MacDill. Additional Sabres and Starfighters were also ordered aloft as Barrier CAPs [BarCAPs] from Key West and Homestead AFBs. Very specific orders were given to the flight leaders that they were to remain over international waters and not to fire unless fired upon. The disciplined men of Naval Aviation did not bat an eyelash in the face of these orders and I knew that they would follow them to the letter.

With fighters leading the way and, hopefully, clearing a path in front of any potential opposition, I launched my precious U-2 spy plane. Contrary to normal doctrine, I would try to make the ingress at low level and only climb to take photos when closer to the objective. I hoped that the high-flying fighter escorts and Voodoo reconnaissance planes would distract the enemy sufficiently so that the U-2 would be unmolested in her mission. I would also try to send her around the known air defences and through the back door.

[Linked Image]

Starfighters from Key West were the first to meet aircraft rising from the Ciudad de Libertad airbase. They were approached on an intercept profile, but my orders forbade early engagement. They would have to prove themselves hostile before I was allowed to take action. The fighters turned out be Fishbeds and my planes were soon to be on the receiving end of Atoll missiles! While one flight evaded, the second flight launched six Sidewinders with no effect. The pilots went to Afterburner and activated their internal cannon. In violent Air-Combat Manoeuvres [ACM], both Fishbeds were shredded by the M61 cannon fire. A Beagle patrol plane was detected. The fighters must have been the assigned escort for this asset. As one flight approached her, the radar warning receiver went wild. A Goa SAM had been fired! Again, the men undertook wild evasive manoeuvres. This was going to be the common theme throughout the day. The men were lucky this time as the SAMs ran out of fuel.

The Beagle appeared to be unprotected so one flight of 3 Starfighters approached her and set themselves up in her 'Six-O'clock' position. However, to their surprise, her gunners opened fire and killed two of the F-104s! The surviving fighter immediately returned fire and killed the Cuban, but it was small consolation for the loss of his two squadron mates.

Two more Fishbeds rose to challenge the F-104s and managed to kill two of them with only the single loss of a Fishbed before all belligerents were forced to break off combat and return to base. Thus far, Cuba was leading in the scoring race, 4:3. The Sabre pilots from Homestead AFB heard the sad report over their guard frequencies and vowed revenge. Now, if only the Cuban pilots would co-operate. They met CAPs launched from Sagua La Grande AB but were not fired upon. The enemy was not co-operating and this frustrated them. Finally, after a series of feints, one Cuban loosed his Atoll missiles. They were evaded and he was closed and killed by guns after a swirling dance of death.

Two more Fishbeds met my relief CAP from Key West. This time, both MiGs were downed for the loss of a Crusader. The score was now tied but the men wanted a win, not a tie.

The Great Game moved back to Sagua La Grande. More Goa SAMs rose in opposition only to fall back into the sea when out of fuel. The MiGs fared better with both sides exchanging planes and lives. The score would remain tied.

As hoped, the fighter pilots were distracting the air defences and allowing the U-2 pilot to make his run on Libertad unopposed. The cost was high in both men and planes. In the midst of the battle, my Skyraider Electronic Warfare [EW] bird suddenly blinked off of the screen! Curse all radar operators. A marauding Fresco fighter had evidently crept within range of her without anyone noticing and shot her down. Now all of my aircraft would be naked against the Cuban radar.

Once Libertad was photographed, the U-2 dove back into the weeds and headed for St. Julien Air Base [AB] on the western tip of the island. She was in good company with her escorts. After another swirling battle with Frescoes and more SAMs, the U-2 was able to photograph the IRBM sites and leave. The price was 4 more fighters. The air force was learning a very hard lesson; aerial gunnery was not obsolescent even in the age of AAMs.

In their turn, Sagua La Grande AB and Holguin AB were reconnoitred and photographed using the same swarming technique. Multiple flights of fighters would distract the defenders so that the U-2 was unmolested. The price of admission was paid by the fighters. After these orders were fulfilled, I chose to adopt a more defensive stance. Instead of aggressive Target CAPs [TarCAP], I re-assigned my fighters to Barrier CAPs [BarCAP] midway between Cuban bases and Florida. Only one further 'Incident' was encountered. A Beagle raid was detected by Gitmo originating from Holguin AB. I managed to scramble sufficient Phantom interceptors to crush the raiders, but elected not to retaliate against the base. The Russian and Cuban installations were so intermingled that I was worried about accidentally attacking a Russian installation and provoking a nuclear response. Today, discretion would definitely be the better part of valour.

On the high seas, I found myself in a quandry. The Quarantine zone was a large area and it was flooded with unknown contacts. I launched my Neptune Maritime Patrol Aircraft [MPA] to find and classify every ship. Unfortunately, radar can only tell me that a contact exists. It cannot tell you the nationality of the vessel. Thus, I had to overfly and positively identify each and every vessel; a long and arduous process.

As each of my groups raced to the edge of the Exclusion zone, the ASW co-ordinator aboard CVAN Enterprise reported, "Probable submarine contact in the Torpedo Danger Zone!" Somehow, a suspected submarine had managed to evade my escorts and ensconced herself between the CVAN and my destroyers! The battle group commander immediately ordered all ships to scatter at flank speed and launched 4 helos to prosecute this contact. It was not a minute too soon, either, as torpedo contacts were soon reported. The quick response prevented any damage. The confirmed hostility of the unknown submarine quickly ensured her destruction at the hands of the helo pilots.

[Linked Image]

As my MPA chased down vessels of all nationalities, they were able to positively identify six merchants flying the Hammer and Sickle. However, intelligence had reported seven such vessels leaving Soviet ports. A Golf-class SSG was even spotted running on the surface within the quarantine zone. I decided to give her a wide berth as her direction of travel was outward-bound.

Six merchants were intercepted before they could cross into the Quarantine zone and they were 'escorted' away from the area. I finally managed to find the elusive seventh merchant, but the Essex PhibRon was simply too far away to intercept her before she reached the barrier. Luckily, she did not cross the barrier as all merchants had apparently received orders to return. The world would not be destroyed in a nuclear nightmare this day, but I lost the game because I did not intercept her before she reached the zone.

[Linked Image]

This is a really neat scenario. Freek has done a good job simulating the ROE present during those 13 Days in October. Combat is possible and permitted, but the player must take extreme care in what and who he engages. Otherwise, the game crosses the nuclear threshold and into nuclear holocaust. An excellent job re-creating the Crisis on the High Seas. Thanks for putting it together.

Colonial Wars Scenarios

Author: Paul Bridge

First Scenario :- Dangerous Waters - AAR

This morning, off the coast of Cuba, a Soviet submarine fired a nuclear torpedo at the USS Ranger. The resulting explosion destroyed the carrier and damaged the escort group. The carrier group was enforcing the blockade around Cuba due to the Soviet missile sites there. At present, no further nuclear exchanges have taken place. The United States has retaliated by conducting conventional strikes on military targets only with the Soviets responding in kind. With most of the action taking place in the North Atlantic and Europe...the Pacific rim seems quite for the present. Soviet forces have surged there Pacific Fleet submarines in order to keep the US carrier groups from striking the Motherland. The United States has positioned its ASW Carrier Groups to defend the Hawaiian Islands and the Pacific. Only one strike carrier is available, the Enterprise, to take the war to the Soviets in the Pacific....Good Shooting Guys.

Second Scenario :- Operation Dawarka - AAR

Operation Dawarka is one of the most significant events of the 1965 Indo-Pakistan War. The idea of the attack by Pakistan was to destroy the Radar site at Dawarka and Naval Installations. which would draw out the heavy Indian units based in Bombay. To this end, the only Pakistani submarine Ghazi, a converted US WW2 Guppy, was stationed outside Bombay harbour to intercept them. The bombardment of Dawarka was successful, but Ghazi was unable to engage units leaving Bombay.

Third Scenario :- Franco\'s Folly - AAR

In 1963, the question of Gibraltar's status came before the UN Special Committee on De-Colonisation and General Franco of Spain seized the opportunity to revive her claim for the reversion of the Rock to Spanish sovereignity. Spain increased her border restrictions with Gibraltar and eventually closed the frontier and all other means of communications with the mainland in 1969.
In the meantime, Spain decided to enforce the blockade and sailed the majority of her fleet to re-take Gibraltar by force by land and sea. The United Kingdom was caught by surprise with this and despatched HMS Eagle and Bulwark from Malta at maximum speed hoping to call Spain's bluff?

Fourth Scenario :- Return to Suez - AAR

All did not go well for Israel in the 6 Day War with her neighbours and she suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Arabs. Egypt has now re-taken her lost lands and has closed the Suez Canal to all traffic. At a press conference in Cairo Egypt threatened to use deadly force on any country trying to re-open the canal. The US has decided not to pursue this matter. With growing hate against the Vietnam War at home, all US forces have been pulled out of area. The United Kingdom and France have decided to re-take the Suez Canal by military means and have deployed a combined force of 3 Attack Carriers and 2 Amphib Groups with air and submarine support to the Region. The UK and France did the same operation 10 years earlier...but this time Egypt is now equipped with Soviet ships, submarines, aircraft and long-range air-launched anti-ship weapons.

Fifth Scenario :- Bedford Incident - AAR

A US Destroyer Captain chances upon a Soviet submarine operating inside the territorial waters of Greenland and intends to force the sub to the surface by any means possible. Both vessels are armed with nuclear weapons... and the question is who will fire first!

The USS Bedford is commanded by Captain Finlander who was passed over for promotion last year due to an incident with one of our submarines. He is a very aggressive Captain who will and has broken the rules and will do anything

This Scenario is based on the movie "The Bedford Incident was added units to both sides including the Canadian ASW Carrier and Escort Group.



Colonial Wars Indonesian Campaign
Author: Paul Bridge

First Scenario :- Gunboat Diplomacy - AAR

At one stage in the Borneo Confrontation, there was a force of some sixteen ships operating in and around the waters of Borneo, most of them coming from the 6th Minesweeping Squadron, whose tasks were to hunt, stop, and search small boat traffic . One incident, out of the normal humdrum patrolling , occurred in 1965 when three minesweepers intercepted and caught three armed sampans. All of them had been trying to get into southeast Johore and, during the fire fight, eight Indonesian soldiers were killed and 19 captured . This scen covers the engagement with added units for both sides .

Second Scenario :- First Strike - AAR

Following an failed attempted coup in Indonesia by anti-communist forces , the communist government put all blame onto the United Kingdom. Over the years, communist forces had infiltrated into Malaysia and Borneo; conducting terrorist attacks on the infastructure of these countries. The UK and Australian and New Zealand forces had been hard pushed to stop these incursions, but had played no part in the failed coup. Indonesia has threatened to attack any British-flagged ships in its area, but at the present time hostilities haven't broken out. The RMS Queen Mary, enroute from Hong Kong to Singapore, is a prime target and has been give escort to Singapore !

Third Scenario :- The Empire Strikes Back - AAR

After the outrageous attack on the RMS Queen Mary and her escorts in the South China Sea resulted in heavy loss of life on all the Ships involved in the engagement , UK and ANZAC Forces are now planning a response .... the problem is most of the UK Far East Fleet were deployed for the Annual Exercise with Australian and New Zealand Forces off North Western coast of Australia. Singapore's remaining forces have taken a "battering" over the last few days and are unable to mount a response . During the Annual Exercise the RAF had deployed most of their bomber assets to RAAF airbases on the western coast. These forces include Vulcan, Canberra bombers, and Recon aircraft. They are supported by Australian Canberras, Sabres, and Mirage fighter bomber aircraft. The Naval Forces in the area are HMS Ark Royal and HMAS Melbourne Task Groups.

In all it looks like the Indonesian Forces are in for a surprise of there own!.

Fourth Scenario :- Broadsides - AAR

At present, HMS Bulwark and her cover group (comprised of the WW2 Cruiser HMS Belfast) have sailed from Aden and have now entered the Andaman sea enroute to Singapore. Bulwark has embarked 45 Cdo Royal Marines and a full complement of Wessex helicopters for future operations and is a prime target. She is due to anchor near RAAF Butterworth to take on supplies and must be protected at all costs.

The position of the KRI Irian is unknown, but believed to be in the area. The air threat is light and the submarine threat is assessed as medium. Can HMS Belfast protect the Bulwark .....the choice is yours !
