Scenario Design & Discussion

I played this scenario commanding the BLUE side. You get an interesting mix of assets here. One carrier battle group with a heavy Tomahawk arsenal, a couple of SSNs and few, but yet formidable aircraft dispersed at 3 bases in Japan. Like I already noted in the other thread, the lack of strike assets on the blue side is one issue. Of course the orders you get are to "just" sink the chinese carrier and not annihilate every single chinese unit/base on the map... :-) I launched several air patrols out my bases in Japan and carrier battle group (CVBG). The CVBG is stationed a bit off the area of conflict, so the F/A-18Es with their long range are excellent for the ta…

It is sub vs sub. in the Norwegian Sea. This scenario was crafted by DeGoey in his famous "Harpoon Battlebook" back in 1991. The idea stems from Michael Palmer´s "The War that never was".

First off I want to say thank you for everyone who has created and uploaded amazing scenarios! I just got back into Harpoon after a few years and it is great to see people still active in supporting the community. Now for my question... Does anyone have any recommendations of scenarios with large numbers of aircraft, carrier battle groups, and bases? I enjoy having a mixture of each element in my games instead of scenarios that focus mainly on just one aspect. An example of scenarios I really enjoyed are F14 Fleet Defender and Red Line And thank you again for creating and maintaining a great community!

I have been unable to change a group's speed in the Scenario Editor. I've tried different delta's (1 sec, 1 hour, 1 hour before the time limit in case the timing is in terms of time left in the scenario) without any success. I realize I must be doing something wrong but ? Would someone suggest how I can change a group's speed at the beginning of the game (e.g., group ADU has a max speed setting in the Battleset Scenario I am hoping tp modify - I would like it to be at creep speed as soon as possible to the opening of the game). Thank you.

hi I have a problem I want as a new scenery is inserted in harpoon classic thank's

AAR: Alone in the Snow Original Scenario / HDS-II GIUK HC 2002 Gold 2003.16b3 AAR by Ralf Koelbach After having failed winning its H3 ANW rebuilt (done by Herman), I tried the original HC scenario. When I started and looked at my aircraft I was shocked a little bit – no AMRAAMS. The same situation as in Herman´s “clean” rebuilt (before he made the AMRAAM-update), of course. Well, I went for it and was curious how the HC game engine would perform in contrast to the H3 ANW engine. The result was similar: In HC 2002 Gold I was outgunned to – the Sky Flash armed Gripen were wiped out of the sky by Fulcrums and Flankers. Very aggressive AI behaviour – great…

File Name: F-94C Starfire in Korea File Submitter: broncepulido File Submitted: 15 May 2010 File Category: WestPac This was in the begining a test scenario to test unguided air-to-air rockets, basically in the F-94C Starfire, and his effectiveness (I was very dubtious about the capability in the game of a unguided rocket to hit in a flying airplane). And I'm not detected crashes in this scenario, at least for now. But now I think it can be very simple introductory scenario to Harpoon HCE, mostly for old time interception and worth of release it, with the flavour of the early 1950s. The situation report is very simple, your're at the command of the 39th Fighter In…

World War III, a scenario for Harpoon Classic Gold, for Westpac, by Fred Galano After Action Report (AAR) by Brad Leyte When Fred told us that he was working on a scenario for Westpac that would resemble in some respects his previous scenario, "Med War" (for the EC2003 MEDC battleset), I was keyed up to try it. Med War had been a challenging and action packed scenario, and of course, I expected to see the same in a new Westpac scenario. It would be a immense understatement if I said my expectations were fulfilled. In point of fact, they weren't "fulfilled"; they were "overwhelmed". Firstly, a word of caution. World War III is not a scenario for the faint of heart…

Greetings, I'm attempting to build my first scenario (GCC without the US v. Iran) and I'd like to include a Qatar based AN/TPY-2 radar set. The only unit that I know in the game which possesses this particular set is the INTL SAM THAAD BTY, which unfortunately includes the launchers and a large complement of interceptors (since I'd like it to only be for surveillance, missiles are a hassle). So on to my questions. In order to strip the launchers (and the avenger platoon also) do I need to use the platform editor? Can I change missile counts there as well? I can't yet open the platform editor, apparently I need an update or patch. I tried downloading the c…

United They Sail - EC2003 IOPG Battleset The 25th new scenario of the year! United They Sail - EC2003 IOPG Battleset The Middle East has seen many shifts in alliances and political friendships over the years. Recently, Iran has become increasingly hostile to many of its neighbors in the region, which it describes as "puppets of the West." After the U.A.E. openly criticized Iran about its policies and suggested OPEC take action against Iran for its support of groups like Hamas, Iranian leaders threatened that the U.A.E. would pay for its "treachery."
