File Name: IND1 File Submitter: Palex80 File Submitted: 12 Jul 2015 File Category: IOPG This is the first scenario in the series. PRELUDE: Following the fall of the Saddam Hussein Regime in early 2002 the situation in the Middle East has become highly unstable. The Islamic State (IS) managed to overthrow the Iraqi government in 2016 and then spread the insurgency into the neighboring countries of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait. Forced to act, in order to protect their interests and oil supply, the United States (US) invaded Iraq again in 2017 and also installed strong military presence in Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Although the threat of IS was practically destroyed…

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."

File Name: FRUKUS Ruckus File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 04 Jan 2013 File Category: GIUK A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the EC2003 GIUK Battleset. This scenario is designed for play by either of the BLUE side or the RED side. An annual exercise aimed at open dialogue and cooperative training, the FRUKUS naval drills typically see the commitment of at least one warship from each of the navies of France, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States. The drills have usually gone relatively smoothly, excepting, for example, in 2008 when the Russian intervention in Georgia caused partner navies to pull out of participation in the exercise sc…

Here are some rambling observation from toying around with the SE. Is the ALQ-164 ECM Pod found on the AV-8B II+ supposed to give relatively long ranged jamming support? I will double check tonight actual distances, but it was in fact “jamming” enemy radars. I had a neutral EW Su-24MR flying in a patrol status directly above a neutral Jask Iran. The Su jammed everybody, and Blue had no opportunity to suppress it. Mines were easily detected, engaged, and destroyed. Should mines be successfully engaged by helo launched torpedoes and/or surface ship anti-sub stand-off weaponry? Is their a way to tweak them so that it would require more specialized detection a…

AAR: Crimean River [spoiler Alert] By Brad Leyte The loss of weapons-grade nuclear material is the greatest modern-day fear of most Western leaders. That fear would become a reality if this mission were to fail. With only four Harriers in the entire operation, the heavy lifting was going to be left up to the pilots of the helicopter gunships and the Marines and Special Operations troopers in their slicks / Osprey. The Harriers were launched in order to clear a path for the air assault elements. Unfortunately, the pair of Harriers assigned to Simferopol air base declared mechanical problems and immediately returned to base. This meant that 50% of the …
