File Name: ISR10A1 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC A few years in the future ... A military coup has placed a radical Islamic government in control of Egypt. Mossad has uncovered evidence that the new Egyptian government has sponsored acts of terrorism against Israel and other Western nations. Israel has decided to impose a blockade on the Egyptian port of Alexandria. Unfortunately, the E.U. is not entirely convinced that Egypt is guilty of sponsoring terrorism, and refuses to recognize the blockade as legitimate. There is growing concern that one or more European nations will try to run the blockade. For the pres…

File Name: ISR10A2 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC A few years in the future ... Israel, beleving Egypt to be responsible for terrorist attacks, has blockaded the port of Alexandria. The E.U., refusing to believe that Egypt was responsible, attempted to run the blockade; the convoy of tankers escorted by Italian warships was destroyed, a humiliating defeat for the E.U. The E.U. has decided to punish Israel by destroying as much of its navy and air assets as it can. Two large task forces have been dispatched to take control of the eastern Mediterranean. A large number of air assets have been transferred to Greek ai…

File Name: ITA10A1 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC A few years in the future ... Disputes over trade and environmental issues have created friction between Russia and the European Union. After one incident where two of its warships were sunk by E.U. forces, there is evidence that Russia will make a punitive strike designed to "educate" the E.U. The "lesson," of course, is that Europe cannot attack Russia with impunity. Russia believes that America is unlikely to interefere. The growing global influence and economic power of the E.U. has created tension with the United States. If Russian troops were marching into B…

File Name: Judgment File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 16 Oct 2009 File Category: MEDC DB Used: HCWW-091016 Authors: Brad Leyte Battleset-MEDC: .sco - EC2003 - EC2003 Judgment A Harpoon Commander's Edition (HCE) scenario for the EC2003 Mediterranean battleset and the HCE World Wars (HCWW) database. This scenario is designed for play by the BLUE side. The true potential of naval aviation did not come to the fore until the night of 11-12 November 1940, at a place called Taranto in Italy. By mid 1940 the naval balance of power in the Mediterranean did not favor the Royal Navy. The Regia Marina (Italian Navy) had six battleships and more ships of every…

File Name: Kilo Krush File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC Kilo Krush (Battle Ocean 1990 series) EC2003 MEDC A few years in the future ... Libya has purchased two Kilo-class submarines from Russia. The European Union does not wish the transfer to take place. There is serious concern in the E.U. that the new government of Libya is too hostile to the West and that these submarines represent a potential threat the European merchant fleets and military forces. Libya refuses to reconsider the deal, claiming that since it has abandoned its WMD programs, it has every right to expand its conventional forces. (In fact, there are persisten…

File Name: LaGrange Six File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC EC2003 MEDC In this scenario, the ties and alliances between a host of European nations, old and new alike, have broken down.

File Name: MED5 File Submitter: Palex80 File Submitted: 05 Sep 2015 File Category: MEDC This is the fifth scenario in the series. PRELUDE: Operation “Southern Shield” managed to oust US Coalition forces out of the Azores. With ECON forces leaking their wounds and stretched to the limit it was a rather less joyful Christmas. Once again however the US Coalition unfortunately took the initiative and with it the fight to ECONs front …or rather back door. The citizens of Tel Aviv woke to air sirens, uncommon sounds since the signing of the peace accords with their Arab neighbours 2 years ago. They looked at the sky in anticipation of Katyusha rockets coming dow…

Unfortunately, two new carrier groups slipped through the hastily gathered Allied mission and reports have these rogue groups seeking refuge somewhere on the southern coast of Turkey. A number of other Russian, Turkish and Arab destroyers and frigates remain poised and regrouping into patrols in the Aegean. Spain remains a steadfast supporter of the F…

File Name: MEDFED8 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 07 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC Escape from the Med EC2000 Battle for the Mediterranean The European Federation's aggression in the Baltic, Iceland/UK Gap and North Atlantic has spread into the Mediterranean.

Earlier in the month, the Italian navy had siezed three Saar V's from the Israelis that were on maneuvers in the Adriatic. Italy has now positioned several of it's naval assets, in coordination with some French carrier groups, to create a blockade and prevent American forces from trying to leave o…

File Name: MEDFED9 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 07 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC Allies take back the Med EC2000 Battle for the Mediterranean With a surprise victory in the previous month, the Allies were able to break the blockade created by the European Federation and reinforce American naval units in the Med and refortify Tel Aviv. The Federation wants to reverse this setback, so they have gathered their naval assets in the central Med. Intelligence estimates conclude that they intend to open up a gap to bring out the recently rebuilt Black Sea Fleet; a giant force capable of driving a wedge clear to Africa if given the opportunity to pass through…
