I have been thinking about trying this idea for a long time but dont thhink this area of the globe is covered. It's based on a movie that came out, i think, in the 70's. i want to say it's called the final countdown. anyway. a US Carrier, the Nimitz, sets out from Hawaii on a cruise and encounters a freak storm that sends them back in time to just before the attack on Pearl Harbor. the commander is faced with the huge decision. Should he try to stop the attack or not. thus the scenario. could a single carrier airwing stop the armada by either completely destroyying it or at least stop from launching an attack. according to the movie there are 6 carriers and up to 23 …

AAR: Black Valour A scenario by Mark Gellis Romania was unhappy with Turkey, and its big brother, Ukraine, had promised to show up on the playground if there was any trouble. This time, the playground was the Black Sea. Realizing that a large portion of my front line TuAF fighters (F-16 and F-4) were sitting on the tarmac with no weapons loaded, I immediately set about arming them for air-to-air and suppression of enemy air defences (SEAD) missions respectively. The ex Perry class frigate Gediz and a pair of FPB57 fast attack craft were patrolling in the western Black Sea, but I did not want to reveal their positions just yet by energizing their radars. Rathe…

Since mines are a relatively new addition to the game I thought I'd ask if anyone has pointers on setting up a believable and effective water/land mine field. Mostly for water, but here are the Qs. What is the best depth to place them at? How many would make a decent field? How far apart should I place them? In my few experiments with them, I almost always end up getting them into what I consider far to large an area. This could just be my perception however.

The only solution the Japanese have been able to come up with is for the government to buy several ULCC's, and LNG carriers and have the JMSDF operate them. …

In a scenario exist the blue airbase Aa (human player) and the red airbase Za (AI). From the red airbase Za shall takeoff air groups to attack the blue airbase Aa from south, east, west and north and this automatic repeatable every four hours.
