File Name: Operation Island Wind v1.1 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac Operation Island Wind. A hypothetical scenario that explores Japan making a surgical strike against North Korea's missile test center. This is not a leisurely task, as you have less than 24 game hours to complete the mission. The player should attempt to limit collateral damage, as the target is very specific. Designer Notes: I've tweaked it a bit, and probably given the red side a bit more capabilities than it really has (reference materials were conflicting). However, this was done in the interest of gameplay and to present th…

File Name: Predator or Prey File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: WestPac Predator or Prey Having taken responsibility for its own defence, and in the face of increased dialogue and openness on the part of the North, the Republic of Korea has tacitly encouraged the departure of US troops on the Korean Peninsula. Responsibilities elsewhere have accelerated this redeployment and reshaped the American presence from a military force into a wholly diplomatic delegation. An end to the decades old stand-off between the two Koreas appears imminent, and yet something is not quite right about this new atmosphere of peace…

Meanwhile, air strikes from the Chinese mainland have been considerably reduced in volume and intensity.

The consequence of this is that Japan is down to two weeks worth crude oil and natural gas.
