Mark Gellis has released the 33rd scenario of the year. From Cold War to Cod War. Emerald Action – BAT10C3 - EC2003 GIUK Recent ecological factors have led to the collapse of fish populations around the world. The European Union has decided to treat certain regions of the Atlantic Ocean as "fallow zones" in the hopes that fish populations will recover and a worldwide food crisis will be avoided. Not all nations recognize these Fallow Zones, though... Norwegian fishing boats have once again entered Fallow Zones to the west of Ireland. Irish forces are directed to locate these fishing boats and seize them; if they attempt to flee, sink them. These boat…

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…

AAR: Beida-La-Boom [spoiler Alert] A Harpoon Classic scenario By Mark Gellis Operation Yankee Slam was underway and the Marine Expeditionary Unit – Special Operations Capable [MEU-SOC] was nearing their line of departure. Unfortunately, the only meaningful air cover was based at Aviano airfield, nearly 700nm away. The task group only had a handful of Harriers for local protection so an E-3 Sentry and a gaggle of F-15 Eagles were tasked with immediate air protection for the ships. An EC-130E also accompanied them and thoroughly jammed Libyan radar to the point of near uselessness. The Libyans may not have been technologically advanced, but they were bra…

SPOILERS APPLY Finished this great scenario a while ago. The luck of the draw gave me two subs, A Dutch diesel sub and a modern English SSN. I ended up with a victory, but really the bad guys won- I was careless with my submarines, heading straight for the target, and they both were sunk. I did "ration" my long range aircraft ordnance, resulting in the loss of a number of Tornadoes, but did sink the carrier with aircraft after awhile. This is a well crafted scenario, thanks Broncepulido for a great job.
