This proved to be a false hope. Dictatorial tendencies have surfaced in Yemen, this time with the full support of the New Soviet Confederation (NSC). Gulf states, especially Saudi Arabia, have come under threat once again. Saudi Arabia, devastated by the UBAN invasion and Soviet long-range air strikes, is slowly r…

File Name: Operation Island Wind v1.1 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac Operation Island Wind. A hypothetical scenario that explores Japan making a surgical strike against North Korea's missile test center. This is not a leisurely task, as you have less than 24 game hours to complete the mission. The player should attempt to limit collateral damage, as the target is very specific. Designer Notes: I've tweaked it a bit, and probably given the red side a bit more capabilities than it really has (reference materials were conflicting). However, this was done in the interest of gameplay and to present th…

File Name: Operation Cleopatra (NWSCM3) File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC Operation Cleopatra (Part 3 of 3) Campaign 10 - Suez Confrontation New World Order series HDS3 MEDC Battleset Following the war with UBAN, extremist leaders in Egypt were overthrown and (once again) replaced by a more moderate, pro-Western government. Its Arab neighbors, however, remained staunchly anti-Western in their politics. Egypt was sharply criticized for its "backslide into immorality and sinful collaboration with the enemies of Allah". Libya and Syria threatened to strip Egypt of its guardianship of the Suez. This was correctly perceived as a …

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.

This was made possible due to the withdrawal of the major Allied forces stationed in Lajes, who were needed in the ensuing brawl brewing in the Mediterrranean with the rise of the Near East Federation. The rest were recalled to Norfolk, Brooklyn and New London. Apparently, Langley had received good information about a possible coordinated …

Although historically an ally of the US, Israel's participation in the war with UBAN was not one of acting in coalition, but rather in fighting for the survival of the nation. UBAN aggression was further encouraged and supported by the NSC and its client Yugoslavia. (Released November 2000). The willingness of NSC forces to become involved in the new Middle East conflict c…

File Name: Heatwave (RCALM3) File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC Heatwave (Part 3 of 3) HDS3 MEDC Battleset All of the scenarios in this series are based on the premise that the post Cold War world is not typified by peace, but is instead punctuated by fragmentation, revolution and chaos. In July 1994, the unrest in Algeria that had been simmering for years finally exploded into a major armed conflict. The terror campaign that had been carried out by Islamic extremists since the early 1990s reached an awful crescendo when they finally seized power of the country. Algerian government forces, demoralized and fearful of repercussio…

AAR: Prelude [spoiler Alert] A Harpoon Classic scenario By Christopher Stoner Most of my units had specific orders for deployment, but no particular orders were issued for the Sea King based at Labuan so she was sent to Swallow Reef to give them a modicum of search capability. As I was operating essentially in the blind, I ordered my only Thunderhawk and MD 500 Defender helicopters into the air for a quick look around. The Thunderhawk quickly spotted a number of PLAN ships from their distinctive emissions and was ordered to run down their lines of bearing in order to localize them. There were several surface contacts. Many turned out to be Neut…

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 presence of the advanced weapons shifted the delicate balance of power, as it put nearly all aircraft operating from the Turkish side of the island at risk.

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…

AAR Patriot Lane Battleset EC2003 MEDC Database: Brads (does not run with the HC ODB!) Designer: Brad Leyte Tested by Ralf Koelbach "Patriot Lane" is the successor to "Forced into the Corner". The theater of operations is now more concentrated which improves both game performance and the possibilities of micro-managing the units available. It makes much fun to play this scen, but it is very hard - I lost. My problem was that I did not know why I lost because the orders required me to save my ships which I accomplished. Thus there seem to be some other victory conditions related to the number of bases to protect. Maybe they should be mentioned? …
