Scenario Design & Discussion

I am presently trying to play this game but no matter how many aircraft I launch my fleet is overwhelmed by missiles, torpedoes bombers etc in minutes, does anyone know how to survive long enough to at least have a chance of hitting back? please keep replies with technical stuff in simple language

File Name: Dynasty File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac Dynasty The war with the Americans and its puppet allies is several days old, and going well. So well, in fact, that there are signs of severe fractures in the political support for the war in Washington. Beijing believes the American President is becoming increasingly fearful of losing the war, and may try to neutralize our nuclear deterrent as a prelude to their own escalation to nuclear conflict. To play from the Blue side, try the scenario "The Ninth Immortal". Released February 2006. Click here to download this file

The top post in this thread will consist of lists of vlow capable planes for each of the early (pre EC2003) battlesets which have their own built in database. The information has been gathered by trial and error, it may be incorrect. Please contribute (additions or corrections) by adding a post, someone will put the information into this top post. Note1: When testing plane units appear to need at least two aircraft, all single plane units appear to be vlow capable. Note2: Vlow capability doesn't seem to necessarily follow on to later battlesets. the list currently shows those planes found to be vlow capable. Mostly attack and fighter planes tested at the moment. …

File Name: Bad Moon Rising File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac Bad Moon Rising The launch of a Chinese lunar module experiment has failed, with the spacecraft returning to earth somewhere in the central Sea of Okhotsk (according to USAF Space Command). What is alarming, however, is that a scientist from the Chinese space program has defected to Japan, and he has some ominous news. He claims that the rocket was actually carrying an anti-satellite weapon that was being launched by the PRC as a prelude to an impending attack against Taiwan. The race is on to recover the module.

A flurry of new scenarios (rather than snow) in the dead of winter is a great thing to see. Thanks, folks.

US Navy list of homeports and ships assigned (including future ships), very interesting for scenario design: http://www.navy.mil/navydata/ships/lists/homeport.asp

The 22nd new scenario of the year! Beida-La Boom – EC2003 MEDC History is full of interesting surprises. The mercurial leader of Libya, having made much of his reputation as a foe of the West, ultimately decided that the future of his country (and his own future) might be secured more easily by adopting a policy of moderation. He was promptly ousted and forced into exile. The new regime is openly hostile to the West. Its ultimate goal is to dominate North and Central Africa and it has started an aggressive campaign of purchasing weapons from nations such as China, North Korea, Russia, and Iran. In addition, it has purchased materials necessary for the c…

File Name: Thirst for Victory v2.0 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac Thirst for Victory v2.0 The relationship between Singapore and Malaysia has never been particularly great, due in large part to historical sensitivities, some stemming from the time of their separation in 1965. Diplomatic level interventions by Australian in the 1980s (through the Five Power Defence Arrangement, or FPDA) helped to encourage better dialogue and cooperation, particularly in defence matters, but there remains an underlying friction between Singaporeans and Malays. Modern era difficulties include unresolved territorial and airspace disputes, cu…

File Name: My Pet Dragon File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac My Pet Dragon The European Union has long been unhappy with American economic and military sanctions against the People's Republic of China. In recent years, the EU has grown increasingly concerned that the sanctions were unduly stifling European prosperity by blocking access to a huge market. The EU continued to bring diplomatic pressure to bear on Washington as the sanctions dragged on, hoping that eventually they would be lifted. Instead, when American intelligence community insisted that it had discovered an apparent link between China and the Iranian nuclear wea…

This scenario is intended for play by the BLUE side only. In April 1975, with the North Vietnamese tightening their stranglehold on South Vietnam and their army closing on Saigon, the Americans assembled a large naval force to assist in the evacuation of American civilians and Vietnamese refugees deemed to be at risk when the entire country…

Just a little story arising from taking a certain HCE demo scenario for a spin ... HMS Oberon and HMS Odin patrolling some 200 nautical miles west of enemy occupied Bodo, tasked with the priority mission of acting as a roving ambush for surging Soviet submarines that might try to slip down the coast of Norway. Secondary task of potentially interdicting a powerful Soviet surface action group reported to be heading south. Patrolling about 10 nm apart, Oberon suddenly loses contact with sister boat Odin. Soviet maritime patrol aircraft are known to have forward deployed to Bodo, their radar emissions having been picked up a Nimrod patrolling far to the north, s…

I was glad to see that the new HCDB includes more Coast Guard ships (and, in general, we've seen a lot of patrol boats added to the HCDB). But now I'm wondering how to use them in scenarios. They are, of course, for guarding the coast. So you send them after naughty fishing boats who violate our fisheries (although unless they have escorts, this isn't much of a challenge). Or you stop smugglers of one kind or another. By the way, I figured out one way to do a "rescue" mission. You can use a neutral Green vessel, without a programmed course, to represent the vessel that you have to save. You won't know where it is at first so you actually have to search for…

File Name: Blame it on the Kellys File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac Blame it on the Kellys A growing dispute between Indonesia and Papua-New Guinea about rights to a newly discovered uranium deposit on their mutual border has led to the intervention of China and Australia on opposite sides. China, eager to gain access to the uranium, has sent a sizeable force into the region to support the Indonesian claim. Indonesia has likewise shifted considerable military assets eastward into the disputed area. Overflights of Papua-New Guinea airspace by unknown (and presumably Chinese) aircraft have already been reported. Meanwhile, Aus…
