Mark Gellis has published the 36th scenario of the year. Looks like another episode in the Global War on Terror. Thanks for sharing it with the community. Roman Thunder – ALBAT10A - EC2003 MEDC A few years in the future... Tensions between Algeria and the E.U. have increased. Algeria is now controlled by a religious dictatorship that is hostile to the West. The E.U. believes Algeria is responsible for several recent terrorist attacks in Europe. Current thinking in Europe is that the most likely solution to the problem is regime change. Intelligence officers have been in communication with a coalition of rebel groups in Algeria--it would probab…

AAR: Blame it on the Kellys [spoiler Alert] A Harpoon Classic scenario By Brad Leyte As the orders arrived from Canberra, all that I could think about was the poem that went, "For want of a nail..." When were the pongos ever going to learn that the pointy end of the spear is pretty damned useless without the beans, bullets, and gas needed to get them there? Now, due to a shortage of spare parts, no ASW helos could be operated from the frigates that depended so heavily upon them. Well, the bean counters finally got their way. I just hope that they are the same ones who have to count the bodies that result from their parsimonious conduct after this operation is ov…

Qian Kong Kuai: a new scenario for the Westpac theater "The Senkaku/Diaoyu islands comprise small volcanic islands and three rocky outcrops at the eastern edge of the East China Sea. The dispute between China and Japan over their sovereignty goes back 500 years, and with the potential of huge offshore oil and gas reserves in the region, shows no sign of resolution. Now China has begun to exploit the resource, and Japan has responded in kind. Now that the Taiwan and Korea questions have been answered, China feels daring enough to enforce its claim on the Senkaku/Diaoyu Islands. Once again, competing economic interests in dangerous proximity result in military action." …

As many of you have noticed, guessed, etc, Harpoon Commanders Edition looks to finally be released in the next couple of months. But there is still time to submit your WestPac scenario (using the stock DB or HCDB) for inclusion with the game itself as part of the WestPac battleset. There are five slots available for scenarios that are tested and fun, very few restrictions besides that. The scenarios must include orders files for both sides (even if one side's orders just states that side isn't playable). You must also provide the title you would prefer in the scenario listing, i.e. Doolitov's Raid). Since time is tight, there is no guarantee your scenario wi…

After Action Report: Colombian Hat Dance A scenario by Mark Gellis 'Colombian Hat Dance' is a new HCE scenario for the new custom 'Caribbean Sea' Battleset. I played the scenario using beta 2008.050.

As with much of its naval force, Task Force ABS consisted of elderly warships acquired from other nations, including the flagship Manuel Azueta (formerly the US Navy Edsall class destroyer escort USS Hurst), a pair of ex US Navy Knox class frigates – the Ignacio Allende (formerly the USS Stein) and the G…

File Name: Thanh Hoa Bridge File Submitter: TonyE File Submitted: 22 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac This scenario was created in honor of Patrick O'Shea, his chariot the RA-5C, and his service to Harpoon. Author: Tony Eischens Invaluable Assistance by: Brad Leyte "The juxtaposition of American air might against the Thanh Hoa Bridge, fearfully known as the Ham Rong or Dragon's Jaw bridge, may become, if it hasn't already, the arch-symbol of the air war against the North Vietnamese. Destruction of the bridge became an intense obsession of American military planners. The Vietnamese, obsessing no less, fought to preserve the bridge, which for them had become …
