Your primary mission will be to guide your SAG and Amphib groups from Taiwan past enemy units from the Chinese and Philipino sides trying to locate them. Use every trick you can think of because once you're spotted it can easily become a slugfest. (Released February 2006). Click here to download this file

Hello, I have created a scenario that I was hoping to test. Unfortunately the game stopped working. I have noticed that if the scenario is >= 700kb the game doesn't work. Is there a memory limit on created scenarios? Regards, Dave

Trying to edit EC2000 Norwegian scenario 8.0 (Blockers) to add the TU-22MP Backfire D to give the reds a fighting chance. Saw a suggestion to save a newer edited scenario with an older scenario's suffix, but got an annex error when I tried to open it in the older scenario. Is the old data just imcompatible with the newer scenario databases? Am I even asking this question right?

BLUE only. This is a sequel to "Hold Fast!". There will be a third scenario in this series soon. The good news is that Russian naval power projection is poor. The bad news is that your stuff isn't very good either. Updated to HCDB080824 and repaired a VC bomb 10-19 Thanks Herman! Click here to download this file

File Name: GIU2 File Submitter: Palex80 File Submitted: 12 Jul 2015 File Category: GIUK This is the second scenario in the series. PRELUDE: The conflict between the ECON-India-Arab coalition in the summer of 2019 was the first event in a cascade that was to follow. Although the coalition managed to oust US forces from Pakistan, that success was only short-lived. The American counterattack using submarine launched cruise missiles and long-range bomber strikes out of Diego Garcia severely gutted the recovering Arab forces and rendered most of the oil terminals useless. The following CIA-backed insurgency in the Middle East brought the newly elected Arab gove…

After Action Report for 'Business as Usual' A scenario by AJ Heredia (Juramentado) 'Business as Usual' is a new HCE scenario for the Westpac battleset. I played the scenario from the BLUE side using beta 2010.005 and the HCDB database. Scenario Background Orders Intel reports formations at least ten (10) small boats between Zamboanga and Basilan, typically composed of small attack groups centered around a mothership. A group of stolen Indonesian Navy patrol boats is reported possibly south of Basilan. A detachment of aid personnel and supplies is being shipped from Zamboanga to Basilan, aboard the Philippine Navy LSM P06. Also, local commercial traf…

A few historical events that might pique your interest in writing a scenario using the HCE Cold War Database (HCCW). I will get things started with the year 1974. Feel free to add to the list. 1974: Paracel Islands, China vs South Vietnam, January 1974 Carnation Revolution in Portugal, April 1974 Turkish invasion of Cyprus, Summer 1974 Rhodesian Bush War, continuing (1964-79)

AAR: Minnows [spoiler Alert] A Harpoon Classic Commander's Edition scenario By Patrick Howard 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. SITREP: The war is not going well for us so far. Air s…

These fl…

If I select a base in the SE, Jask Iran for example, am I restricted to only adding Iranian Aircraft (currently only obsolete model F-4's and F-14's)? I have an interest in exploring a militarily modernized Iran taking advantage of cash-strapped Russian companies or CIS states willing to sell high tech fighter/attack aircraft such as SU-30K (MKK, MKI) or MiG-29C/MiG-29K to the highest bidder. Thanks,

Finished up Mark Gellis' latest scenario, Hungry Lion, last evening. Here's a short AAR: This is a traditional convoy scenario, in which you (as the Blue player) are tasked with moving a large number of ships across the pond (i.e. the Atlantic) from CONUS to Europe. It is also primarily a submarine warfare scenario, and like all traditional ASW, tended to comprise long periods of little activity punctuated by moments of sheer terror. The submarine threat to my convoy(s) was very real from the outset. Though I managed to escape the loss of any of my "merchies", the escorts suffered for their efforts in probing the unknown waters ahead. Shore based maritime patr…

File Name: The First Convoy, September 1939 File Submitter: broncepulido File Submitted: 18 Jul 2012 File Category: GIUK First Convoy in the Phoney War, 14-18 September 1939. A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the EC2003 Battle for GIUK Gap Battleset and the HCWW-101110 World Wars era Platform Database. That's an essay of building an historic and realistic scenario, and as consequence, something boring for most of the time, with some moments of terror, as in the real world ASW operations, in this case in the Western Approaches. And probably most of the played scenarios will be finished with a draw. Playtesting after built the scenario reflects …

I'm fairly sure the AI used to change enemy landed aircraft's loadouts on occasions in response to perceived threats/attack opportunities. Does this still happen does any one know. I'm trying an idea of reinforcing front line bases with aircraft part way thru a scenario but they seem to just sit in the new bases and not get used and I'm working on how to rectify this. Don

File Name: All-out pre-Columbian Alien Invasion 2016 File Submitter: broncepulido File Submitted: 10 Jul 2011 File Category: Caribbean Basin Note: In this scenario, to avoid spoilers, it is better to play the Human/Blue side a few times, and only after play the Alien/Red side.
