Very sorry to all those who downloaded my Australia battleset file and found it was broken. A small clerical error (honestly) embedded the wrong database). I've uploaded what should be right (I thought the original was right so I still have fingers crossed) and I hope a few of you have fun with it. ps Long live the F-111!!

File Name: Second War Between the States File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: NACV Second War Between the States EC2003 Atlantic Ocean The Northern United States finally called for an end to the Southern Drawl. This announcement was followed shortly by an embargo of pop flowing North from the South. As a matter of common understanding war broke out immediately. Hence the Second War Between the States began. This is a remake of the battleset scenario. (Released November 2006). Click here to download this file

During the summer of 1975, on the Mecklenburg's coastline, a sport boat w/ 4 persons aboard managed to make its way free to the high sea, thanks to the cover of dusk, escaping security forces from the GBK in the process. Despite DDR's efforts, the sport boat managed to get to BGS's patrol boat. The East Germans asked to be brought onboard, as they wanted to go to the West. One hour later, 2 GBK rushed after the Duderstadt and tried to stop her. However, the BGS patrol boat managed to escape, aided by already being in international waters near west Germany. http://www.strategyzoneonline.com/forums/d...do=file&id=1091 Regards René

File Name: Labrador Lightning File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: NACV Labrador Lightning (Battle Ocean 1990 series) EC2003 Atlantic Ocean The collapse of fish populations around the world due to overfishing has created serious international friction. This is particularly true in the Atlantic. More and more often, European fishing boats have illegally entered Canadian waters. Canada has attempted to resolve the issue via diplomatic channels, but without success. Two months ago, the Canadian people elected a new government. The new Prime Minister warned that Canada would deal harshly with illegal fishing. Bar…

Just a note of thanks to Larry Gertner (wombat1417) for retrieving and uploading all of those older Harpoon Classic scenarios for our collective enjoyment. Good job!

File Name: Senkaku File Submitter: Clemens File Submitted: 17 Apr 2012 File Category: WestPac DB Used: HCDB-120405 Authors: Clemens Battleset-WPac: .scq - WPac - WestPac Just a small scenario based on the Senkaku Islands dispute. This is my first scenario after a several years without harpoon on my computer, so please offer any and all critiques on this as I hope to write several scenarios based on the Senkaku and Spratly Islands and Taiwan, (possibly involving NK and SK too) The background is yet another confrontation by chinese fishing trawlers. Several had anchored just off of one of the islands. As expected a standoff ensued until the JCG attempte…

File Name: Hungry Lion File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: NACV Hungry Lion (Battle Ocean 1990 series) EC2003 Atlantic Ocean It is 1990 and the world is at war. The Soviet Union has invaded and occupied Iran. The United States and its allies demanded that the Soviet Union remove its forces from Iran immediately and threatened to use force if necessary. The Soviet Union responded with a series of lightning strikes that destroyed a large number of military bases in Europe. The Soviets then initiated a massive campaign of submarine warfare designed to cripple the West. Their goal does not appear to be to invade…

Been having a lot of rain lately, so here's three new HCCE scenarios for you to try ... Third Idea (Westpac battleset) Negative sentiments flowing from Japan's role in the Second World War continue to run deep in Asia, even six decades later. This remains especially true in China. Nevertheless Beijing tooks steps to rein in vehement anti-Japanese rallies in Spring 2005, ostensibly with the intention of protecting its own internal stability. And yet there was a deeper strategy at work. A newly revitalized relationship between Russia and the PRC, on both economic and defence levels, resulted in a joint plan to seize a commanding position in the Asian sphere of influ…

File Name: The Cold North File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: NACV The Cold North EC2003 Atlantic The Russian military has been experiencing a loss of discipline and an increase of desertions and mutinies among its ranks brought on by little or no pay and loss of morale. Of late, several older ex-Soviet warships that were laid up prior to decommissioning have turned up missing. More disturbing is the fact that the ammunition for these warships stored in a nearby warehouse, prior to their destruction have also turned up missing. In another development, Oil has been discovered in and around the coast of northern Greenland and several o…

These scenarios are set in an alternate universe. In 1990, the government in Iran collapsed and the country was plunged into chaos. The Soviet Union decided to take advantage of this to gain control of Iran's oil and its warm water ports. It invaded, quickly smashed the Iranian military, and took control of the country. The United States and its allies have condemned the invasion. The Soviet Union and its allies know that the West will eventually attempt to liberate I…

In the today news, a scenario clearly described, and not for a Pooner ! http://www.rnw.nl/english/article/netherla...d-dutch-weapons

Well this forum seems to be more busy then over at Matrix so let me post this here too: This scen is already playable... there needed to be some minor changes, but I guess it is now too big and the scen editor crashes regulary. But the version I have now (better 2 version, 1 more "heavy" and Red has more stuff) is playable very good on the 2 systems I tested them on (older PCs so newer ones should have no prob at all). Heres the copy from 1st postings at Matrix (I´ll update these to have a little blog about the history and the equipment you have and face) http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3322907 NOTE: THIS WAS DESIGNED IN HARPOON GOLD 2002 - using…

File Name: Pinger Charlie File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 07 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK Pinger Charlie EC2003 GIUK During the Cold War, the Baltic Sea was the "playground" of maritime reconnaissance and electronic surveillance assets of both NATO and the Warsaw Pact. Both sides employed their assets to continuously monitor each other's activities. The West German Naval Air Arm's Atlantic maritime patrol aircraft (MPA) of Marinefliegergeschwader 3 (MFG3) "Graf Zeppelin", based at Nordholz, flew continuous patrols over the Baltic Sea and Danish approaches to monitor the buildup of Soviet naval forces which would have to transit through these waters to rea…
