Helo
EC2000 Battle for the Mediterranean
It occurred to me that there aren't many HC/HC97/HC2002 scenarios which focus on helicopter combat, particularly helo vs helo warfare in the virtual absence of fixed wing aircraft. Hence HELO. In this scenario, you are commander of a joint US/UK force operating inside the war ravaged Balkans. Your force controls the airports at Sarajevo and Mostar, but little else. A British Royal Navy task group centred around HMS Ocean is enroute with reinforcements, and a force of eight C-130 Hercules airlifters are sitting on the tarmac at Souda awaiting your confirmation that the area is secure. The enemy is well equipped with Hind gunships and assault helos, and enemy ground troops are heading in your direction. They have every intention of kicking you out of the region. Get the Ocean task group safely to Beachhead Freedom, and the Hercules safely into Sarajevo. Time is of the essence. (Released April 2003).
