File Name: The Battle of Jan Mayen (Part 2 of 4) File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK The Battle of Jan Mayen (Part 2 of 4) EC2000 Battle for the Norwegian Sea Vladimir Zelevsky has brought Russia back from the brink of national disaster. But he is also that most terrifying of zealots--the kind who believes in his own prophecies. Fully committed to his vision of the Manifest Destiny of Greater Russia, he has rebuilt the Russian military machine and initiated lightning attacks against Europe. With Finland and the Baltic States effectively crippled, Zelevsky is now trying to solidify his control of the No…

Do many people play or write a lot of WWII scenarios? In pacific ocean theatre naval and naval air actions were extremely important. Also I like how there is so little electronics, radar and the like, it's very seat of the pants stuff.

AAR: Operation: Island Wind [spoiler Alert] A Harpoon Classic scenario By Akula North Korea has recently been threatening to test a long range ballistic missile, shrugging off the concerns of the world community. Despite the threat of sanctions, they have persisted with preparations. The orders specified that I had 24 hours to accomplish the mission. That seemed like ample time to win aerial superiority before sending in the strike elements. With two Sentinels available, airborne radar coverage was not going to be a problem. The DPRK must have known that something was afoot. Flights of MiG-29 Fulcrums and MiG-23 Floggers were det…

When war broke out in the Persian Gulf, a NSC carrier battlegroup was on exercise off the coast of Morocco. Its operations in the Atlantic were apparently unscheduled, the group having already carried out the bulk of planned maneuvers in the Gulf of Sidra in August 1995. The nearest NA…

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…

Not all republics, especially those in the Baltic region, want to rejoin Communist Russia, but they aren't given any choice. The NSC invades the Baltic republics on 14 June 1994 and NATO responds.

AAR: Foothold [spoiler Alert] - Red By Daren Lorentz Well, the orders were clear enough. Sink the convoy or don't bother coming back. The Colonel certainly had a way of motivating people. I ordered my Bear AEW assets to spot the Convoy and coordinate for the subs. Unfortunately, the first one was killed by marauding fighters as she passed Cagliari. I would have to give that base a wide berth in the future. I sent the second Bear far to the south. She spotted the convoy making it's transit of Gibraltar and issued intercept vectors to the Rajs Hadi Mubarek and Dzik. Rajs Hadi Mubarek ate a torp on her approach. Dzik was detected and had a t…

But this apparent good fortune has also kindled one of the Western world's darkest fears. In the chaos following Hussein's demise, the "rogue nation" of Iraq has taken political control of Iraq. This new nation has further amalgamated with Yemen, Syria, Egypt and Libya in a new military and economic confederation k…

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. When regular Turkish forces stormed the island a few months later, NATO was embarrass…

Chinese political influence over the path of the Asian Super Highway has threatened plans for the future expansion of Indian trade ties in Indochina. China has convinced Bangladesh and Myanmar that their economic interests would be better served by linking Chittagong with a trilateral road network with Myanmar and Kunming in China. While the Super Highway is being purpose built to advance multilateral commerce, China has been keen to extract military advantages. There is strong Indian opposition to the Chinese "meddling" in plans that they had already believed finalized. In reply, the PRC has followed up on its political pressures by convincing both Bangladesh and Myanmar…

The 2nd new scenario of the year! Not even one week into the new year and Mark Gellis has published a second scenario for the Harpoon community to enjoy. At this rate, I shudder to think how many great scenarios he will produce in the upcoming year. Thanks for sharing another game with us. Crete Convoy - EC2003 MEDC Battleset It is 1990 and the world is at war. America and its allies are gradually preparing to liberate Iran from the Soviet Union, which invaded that country earlier this year. Several allies of the Soviet Union have declared their support for the Soviet invasion. Blue Orders: Convoy AAS (Flag Robison) should proceed to the waters o…

The eruption of a new civil war in the Balkans on the eve of the XX Winter Olympics drastically complicated European efforts at achieving security in Torino. The air forces of Switzerland and Italy were already working closely to ensure the Games were safe from terrorist attack, but the sudden outbreak of armed conflict on their doorstep was completely unexpected. Their accord did not cover military threats. The situation in the Balkans was still very unclear, but it appeared that several of the former territories of Yugoslavia were ganging up on Slovenia. Preliminary intelligence analysis indicated that the conflict may be rooted in tensions arising from Slovenia having …

File Name: Operation Thistle File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK Operation Thistle (Battle Ocean 1990 series) EC2003 GIUK It is 1990 and the world is at war. The Soviet Union has invaded and occupied Iran. In response, the United States and many of its allies have declared war on the Soviet Union. One of the objectives of the Soviet Union is to destroy oil rigs in the North Sea, as this will cause serious economic and strategic harm to the United Kingdom and the rest of Europe. The less oil the West has, the more difficult it will be for them to defeat the Soviet Union. Early in the war, the Soviets attacked Norway, damaging man…
