Scenario Design & Discussion

File Name: Coral Sea Battle (blueplay) File Submitter: donaldseadog File Submitted: 8 Jul 2010 File Updated: 18 Jul 2010 File Category: WestPac DB Used: HCWW-100326 Authors: Don Thomas Battleset-WPac: .scq - WPac - WestPac Not quite a re enactment of one of the most important battles (if only two days long) of the WWII Pacific war, but based on the situation at the time. Finding the enemy is a big part of the game, actually defeating the enemy is also a big part of the game, actually just surviving is perhaps the biggest part of the game. I expect to be able to make a number of upgrades to this as time goes on, and in particular to provide a version for IJ…

File Name: Coral Sea Battle (redplay) File Submitter: donaldseadog File Submitted: 18 Jul 2010 File Category: WestPac DB Used: HCWW-100326 Authors: don thomas Battleset-WPac: .scq - WPac - WestPac A revised version of my blue play Coral Sea Battle but designed for playing for the Japanese.

View File Drone Defense of Lima IMPORTANT This scenario is meant to be run with the accompanying file Drone.DLL installed in the harpoon ExportDLL (or ExportDLL\GE) folder and requires vers HC2025.006 or newer and database HCDB2. This library file edits certain platforms' data so as to simulate high speed surface drone swarm(5 Drones), high speed semi submerged drone swarm (5) and Malay CB90 attack boats. It also starts of one ship with damaged ssm mounts. The scenario is a demonstration of how recent changes to HUCE will allow an author writing scenarios for the Harpoon community to be able to customise platforms from simple aspects…

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

File Name: ECM-HARM exercise File Submitter: donaldseadog File Submitted: 8 Mar 2011 File Category: WestPac DB Used: HCDB-110225 Authors: Don Thomas Battleset-WPac: .scq - WPac - WestPac A development of my earlier ECM-SEAD scenario, here you have four aircraft that are HARM armament capable. For this bonus you pay with stiffer opposition. To save time you might like to use the attack helicopters on some of the easier SAM sites and the MRL unit on the primary target.

File Name: ECM-SEAD exercise File Submitter: donaldseadog File Submitted: 3 Mar 2011 File Updated: 3 Mar 2011 File Category: WestPac DB Used: HCDB-110225 Authors: Don Thomas Battleset-WPac: .scq - WPac - WestPac A small scenario concentrating on SEAD, ECM and bombing/ assault attacks with only minor distractions. Something of an introductory exercise. Use standard Database version HCDB-110225 (or newer) and Westac battleset. Most weapons are short range with no ARM for the player so close in work, ECM and planning are necessary. Also the scenario includes as the primary target a "Secret Base". Any comments on improving the usefulness of the "Orders" for i…

File Name: F-94C Starfire in Korea File Submitter: broncepulido File Submitted: 15 May 2010 File Category: WestPac This was in the begining a test scenario to test unguided air-to-air rockets, basically in the F-94C Starfire, and his effectiveness (I was very dubtious about the capability in the game of a unguided rocket to hit in a flying airplane). And I'm not detected crashes in this scenario, at least for now. But now I think it can be very simple introductory scenario to Harpoon HCE, mostly for old time interception and worth of release it, with the flavour of the early 1950s. The situation report is very simple, your're at the command of the 39th Fighter In…

File Name: Fight ! (Part 5 of 5) File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac The South China Sea (Part 5 of 5) The Chinese have declared that they are unwilling to abandon their outpost and are committed to defending it. The Allied nations have resolved to assault the island. (Released December 2004). Click here to download this file

File Name: Fire and Fury File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 23 Aug 2017 File Category: WestPac Fire and Fury A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the Westpac Battleset. This scenario is designed for play by the BLUE side, and requires database HCDB2-170714 or later. Long suspected of having a nuclear weapons program, the Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea (DPRK) caused worldwide alarm when it tested its first atomic bomb in 2006, in spite of years of negotiations aimed at preventing just that. In parallel with the Bomb itself, the Hermit Kingdom also pursued the means to deliver it. And in July 2017, barely a decade after first becoming…

File Name: Fleet Ex 83 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 05 Jul 2013 File Category: WestPac Fleet Ex 83 A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the Westpac Battleset. This scenario is designed for play by the BLUE side only. The year 1983 has sometimes been described as the 'most dangerous year'. Certainly an argument can be made that this is true, at least as far as the Cold War was concerned. A number of events occurred during 1983 that brought the two superpowers of the era - the United States and the Soviet Union - as close to the brink of war as they had ever been. On 8 March 1983, American President Ronald Reagan delivered a speech …

File Name: Foxes in the Henhouse File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 26 Jan 2008 File Updated: 26 Jan 2008 File Category: WestPac Foxes in the Hen House A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the Westpac battleset. This scenario is designed for play by the BLUE side. The Soviet HENS submarines - the Hotel class SSBNs, the Echo class SSGNs and the November class SSNs - that began deploying in the early 1960s introduced a major technological breakthrough that gave them a dramatic acoustic advantage over the US Navy's Skipjacks and Skates. The new concept was rafting - where a submarine's engineering plant was placed on a flexible mount or raft within th…

File Name: From Russia with Love? File Submitter: Akula File Submitted: 13 Apr 2009 File Updated: 13 Apr 2009 File Category: WestPac DB Used: Current Official Authors: Akula Battleset-WPac: .scq - WPac - WestPac Background: The Kurile Islands have been a point of contention between Japan and the Soviet Union since the end or World War Two. Even following the collapse of the Soviet state, the area remains disputed. Japan claims that the southern most of the Islands, which were not specifically covered in the Treaty of San Francisco of 1951, are rightfully Japanese Territory. Negotiations have yet to settle this dispute. Click here to download this file

File Name: Fury (Part 1 of 3) File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac Fury (Part 1 of 3) The People's Republic of China (PRC) has long intended to see through its policy of intended reunification with Taiwan, and often times engaged in angry warnings and military intimidation aimed at thwarting any possibility of the "rebel province" asserting independence. With Hong Kong and Macao having already returned to the embrace of the Motherland, the problem with Tawain is becoming more prominent as time goes on. And, despite an American policy of both arming, and if necessary, defending Taiwan against Chinese aggression, continuing close…

Here Blue (play blue only) has no fixed wing planes but relies on helicopters for attack and SAM for defence. Uses Westpac battleset and standard database (HCDB-110225).

File Name: Imperium File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 15 Aug 2012 File Category: WestPac DB Used: HCDB-120621 Authors: Brad Leyte Battleset-WPac: .scq - WPac - WestPac Imperium A Harpoon Commander's Edition (HCE) scenario for the Westpac Battleset. This scenario is designed for play by the BLUE side. In this alternate history scenario, the fruition of the Manhattan Project was delayed. The Soviet Union invaded northern Japan, and the Allies were forced to invade southern Japan. The Japanese eventually surrendered when the Bomb finally arrived, but in the aftermath of World War II the country was divided into a communist North and a capitalist So…

File Name: In Self-Defence ? File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac In Self-Defence ? The failure to implement a comprehensive peace treaty between Japan and the Soviet Union after the end of the Second World War has acted as an obstacle to the resolution of an outstanding territorial dispute over the Kuril Archipelago. In recent years, the Russian attitude toward the issue appears to have moved toward one of consolidating control rather than giving up the territory. Now, the Russians have moved significant military forces into Etorofu, and it appears they are bent on consolidating their illegal hold. A Japanese fishing vessel ha…
