Disputes over trade and environmental issues have created friction between Russia and the European Union.

The "lesson," of course, is that Europe cannot attack Russia with impunity. Russia believes that America is unlikely to interefere.

In the past month or so, we've had more than a half dozen great new scenarios for HCE. Check em out! These come from a couple of the community's more prolific scenario writers, Enrique Mas and Patrick Howard, and we're fortunate and happy that they're sharing their work with the rest of us.

As part of the run-up to the release of Harpoon Commander's Edition, I've decided to dust off some After Action Reports that I did for Harpoon Classic's first battlesets, GIUK, NACV and MEDC.

Enjoy. Scenario 1: NACV 1.0 – Any Port in a Storm Background Although war at sea has been raging for several days, many merchant ships have not yet made it to safe haven, and additionally, many NATO warships have…
