Scenario Design & Discussion

Can you guys go through your scenario uploads and use nice small thumbnails? I think it is more important to be able to read the information than to see a photo or screenshot overtake the web browser. I would propose a maximum width of 320 or so pixels, something like... Or if you think I'm way off base I'd appreciate your thoughts. Thanks!

I am thinking about a new scenario design, would it be realistic to assume that if the UK would be attacked would Canada, Aussies and New Zealand (being all LOYAL subjects of the Queen) be expected to join in the defense of the UK even if (mainly Austrailia and NZ) may noy not be directly treatened.

File Name: Subhunt File Submitter: divefreak File Submitted: 8 Sep 2007 File Category: GIUK 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 …

As an exercise in Soviet carrier airpower, eliminate said base and a USN CVBG. NOTE: Using the latest HC2011.013GE will eventually trigger an "AI Stopped Sub" error message that will later stop the game cold. However, It worked fine when I backtracked to the 2009.064 GE.

I'm working on some ideas for realistic Cold War scenarios involving Soviets, and I'm trying to figure out something. Under what circumstances would you have the Soviet Navy shooting at people, possibly even NATO ships, c. 1985, where things do not rapidly turn into a global exchange of nuclear weapons? Some ideas... 1. Spies on the run. Submarines on both sides probably sneaked in close to enemy shores all the time to gather intelligence, etc. I'm guessing that if those submarines had been forced to surface, perhaps even fired on, there would have been a lot of grumbling from the country that sent them and maybe a tit-for-tat response like sending an ambass…

After Action Report "Punch Through" A Harpoon Classic scenario for the original NACV Battleset "Punch Through" was one of my favourites in the old times. It always gave me close and hard fought out battles. To be honest, I usually lost. In this scenario the red aircraft are rather well coordinated and heavily press the Nato defenders of Stornoway and Kevlavik. And so things getting started many years after the last scenario run. I start with setting up my GIUK CAP and an Iceland based Sentry. Soon after that one wave after the other attacks. SU-24 Fencers, Badgers, Backfires. The typical Soviet Cold War inventory. Nasty surprises include…
