Scenario Design & Discussion

Do many people play or write a lot of WWII scenarios? In pacific ocean theatre naval and naval air actions were extremely important. Also I like how there is so little electronics, radar and the like, it's very seat of the pants stuff.

hi all i'm seeking advice on how to do a particular scenario. the scenario i want to do is replicate (to a point) the movie Firefox, with Clint Eastwood. You, a secret agent have to steal the latest Russian superplane. I'm using the GIUK map, and have put in nearly all Russian, Czech, Romanian and Polish airfields. I've also put in 2 blue airfields, one in south-east Romania, and one in Greenland. The mission will be to get the superplane from Romania to Greenland without being destroyed (roughly 2500nm). Between you and Greenland will be the entire defence force of those countries. My problem is on the selection of the aircraft. I originally …

After Action Report: United They Sail A scenario by Mark Gellis Transiting the Strait of Hormuz in a time of conflict is not a comfortable proposition. Particularly when one has to do so without the considerable force that can be brought by bear by Western air and naval firepower, both land and sea based. Thankfully, however, the UAE has decided to invest heavily in its self-defence, including procurement of the F-16E/F Block 60 Desert Falcon. Because of their presence, the Iranian F-4s, F-5s and even F-14s gave me very little trouble. It was the naval threat, and particularly the undersea threat posed by submarines and sea mines, that worried me. …

Spoilers apply! * * * * * * After Action Report: GIU2 v1.1 - Operation "Channel Watch" Acting as ECON, and with friendly forces arrayed through France and northeast to Denmark, the objective for the player is to suppress UK air defences over the English Channel and to prevent American reinforcements from reaching British shores. Intelligence reported that a US convoy was incoming, under the cover provided by a US Navy carrier and its escorts, and that the Americans had returned in force to Iceland.

Even following the collapse of the Soviet state, the area remains disputed. Japan claims that the southern most…

Crap. Just Crap. So thought Admiral Konstantin Sidenko as he slid the vodka bottle away across the desk and looked at the telex one more time. Japanese at Yuznho-Kurilsk, and I have to kick them out. And just three months until a nice retirement, the Black Sea villa, the wine cellar, the mistress, oh, the mistress...Crap! What rotten luck. I wonder who told them what lousy shape we're in. He stood up, put the bottle in the cabinet across the room. No more of that for a while. He put some water in the samovar for tea and assessed the situation. In a large sense, he was "screwed" as the Americans put it. Years of low budgets and corruption had sapped the Far East …

AAR The Second Crimea War, HDS 1 Battleset, Med, Ukrainian side This is an interesting setup. written back in 1992, there was some prophecy in it. The Ukrainian Navy is much more powerful then it ever was was in reality, though. In this scenario Ukraine has a Kiev Class Carrier and a Kirov Class Battlecruiser. On we go. Shortly after scenario start my two AKI Okean recce vessels are sunk by missile attacks. Some of those missiles were Shipwreck SSMs. Thus coming from either an Oscar Class SSGN or some heavy cruiser. Other missiles were air launched, indicating that there are Fulcrums. Few minutes later: The first air-to-air engagement: I lose one Flanker due to a…
