File Name: Kick Down the Door File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: IOPG Kick Down the Door EC2000 Battle for the Gulf of Oman This scenario is intended to investigate the challenges and difficulties posed by the currently ongoing Operation Enduring Freedom, that is, if only certain realities were different. In this scenario, which some might describe as worst case, Pakistan has refused to grant the USA access to its airspace, and furthermore, has allied with Afghanistan in the protection and sponsorship of the infamous terrorist Osama Bin Laden.

File Name: Helo File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC Helo EC2000 Battle for the Mediterranean It occurred to me that there aren't many HC/HC97/HC2002 scenarios which focus on helicopter combat, particularly helo vs helo warfare in the virtual absence of fixed wing aircraft. Hence HELO. In this scenario, you are commander of a joint US/UK force operating inside the war ravaged Balkans. Your force controls the airports at Sarajevo and Mostar, but little else. A British Royal Navy task group centred around HMS Ocean is enroute with reinforcements, and a force of eight C-130 Hercules airlifters are sitting o…

File Name: Doolittle Two File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK Doolittle Two EC2000 Battle for the Norwegian Sea The Russians have launched a massive attack throughout the Norwegian Sea theater, seizing a beachhead near Orland about halfway down the coast of Norway. The Norwegians are still in the fight, but it is doubtful for how long. The enemy has followed up their first wave of attacks with the deployment of not one, but two, very large carrier battle groups. Intel indicates that both Kuznetsov and Varyag have put to sea, together with a large number of escorts, including nuclear powered battlecruisers and ASW carriers. At lea…

File Name: CV32 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK CV32 EC2000 Battle for the Norwegian Sea Sweden is taking brave steps to hold back the Russian offensive in the Baltic Sea. The odds are stacked against their success. The USAF has sent forces into the theater to help turn the tide, and the British have deployed the first of a new class of aircraft carriers formerly known as the CVF (modeled by the Saratoga). With an air wing of F/A-18E Hornets (the British JSF was cancelled in this timeline), including several new EA-18G Growler (modeled by the EA-7L), the British hope to act quickly to save the Swedes and open the door for th…

File Name: Back to Baghdad File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: IOPG Back to Baghdad EC2000 Battle for the Gulf of Oman It is late 2002, and the prospect of war in the Persian Gulf is once again considered very likely. The US has already deployed large forces to the theater in preparation for what looks to be an inevitable conflict with Iraq, and the buildup continues. The political landscape, however, is very different from what it was in 1991. Both Saudi Arabia and Turkey, key Coalition partners in Operation Desert Storm, have this time refused to permit American forces to deploy troops at their installations or launch offensive ope…

File Name: Arena File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: NACV Arena EC2000 Battle for the Atlantic Ocean An enemy force of no less than 8 Russian and European carriers, supported by numerous surface escorts and submarines, are heading west to assault two critical BLUE bases at Keflavik and Lajes. Opposing them you have at your disposal three carrier battle groups centred around the US carriers George Washington, Harry Truman and Ronald Reagan. Land based air support will be minimal. Defend the shore bases and destroy the enemy carrier force. (Released April 2003). Click here to download this file
