SubHunt
A Harpoon Classic 2002 Gold scenario for the GUIK battleset.
This scenario is designed for play by the BLUE side
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.
