Scenario Design & Discussion

Friends, As always, I am looking for ideas for new scenarios. Here is a generic idea that could be fleshed out in a lot of ways; I would like to see your ideas about possible variations. It all starts when country A does (or appears to do) something really annoying or even frightening to country B. Country B has a big enough navy to give it a regional or global reach, so it promptly blockades some or all of country A's major ports. Country B figures that the economic woes caused by the blockade will even the score (and, if all goes well, without bloodshed). Unfortunately, things do not go well. One of two things happen... 1) Country A decides t…

File Name: The Fifth Horseman (NWUG7) File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK The Fifth Horseman (Part 7 of 7) Campaign 4 - The War with UBAN New World Order series EC2000 GIUK battleset Once it became clear that the NSC would be backing UBAN, tensions in the North Atlantic rose sharply. The NSC began overtly shipping large quantities of arms and war materiel to UBAN nations, a considerable portion of which had to pass through the Greenland-Iceland-UK Gap. NATO threatened a blockade, and the NSC, of course, promised to retaliate if its merchant convoys were disturbed in any way. The stage was therefore set for a return to the trad…

File Name: Dawn Patrol File Submitter: divefreak File Submitted: 3 Dec 2007 File Updated: 3 Dec 2007 File Category: GIUK 1.1 Background: The coast of Norway is made up of fjords and islands with high, rocky coasts. This is a perfect place for small surface craft to operate because the rock walls make them hard to spot on radar, and the short detection ranges make their smaller SSMs more useful than in open ocean. Additionally, there are so many fjords and other places to hide such that no navy can afford enough large craft to do the job. 1.2 Blue Orders: You are the commander of two squadrons of Norwegian warships. Coastal spotters have reported some la…

The (I think last) third in the saga. Your British carrier group has to cruise to port in Gibraltar and dodge one or two French nasties. Depending on your luck with the groups initial (variable) positions this can end in a naval gunnery battle, or rather nasty sub attack (or both). Hope you enjoy it.

Hello! Recently, thanks to a post in Matrix forum, I bought the book STRIKE GROUP REAGAN; being an Harpoon player, I loved it a lot! BTW, as soon as possible, I'm thinking to build a couple of scenarios based on it. Today I discovered another book titled THE SIXTH BATTLE and I bought it as well. So my question is simple ... are there other books enjoyable by an Harpoon player and suitable to be used as a base for scenarios? Thanks in advance! Roberto
