Scenario Design & Discussion

Spoilers apply! * * * * * * After Action Report : Eviction Notice This new scenario by Patrick Howard (aka rainman), for the EC2003 Battle of the Atlantic battleset, has a great and altogether familiar premise. The timeless battlesets of Harpoon Classic are chock full of scenarios centered on the North Atlantic - and Iceland in particular. Many of them also depict player controlled Soviet forces in control of Iceland. This time around, as commander of modern day Russian forces who have seized a firm grip on Iceland - and moved in substantial forces - you must hold your position while threatened by American and British forces bent on serving your '…

The worst case scenario for Sweden has just come to pass. Failed promises of prosperity after EU integration, combined with persistent high unemployment, have suddenly brought down the government in Finland and replaced it with one friendly to an aggressive Russian Federation. Russian armed forces have been granted access to Finnish airspace and territory as part of a mutual defence pact. This includes the Aland Islands, which are rumoured to have been "leased" (some say sold) to Russia, and already military forces are reported to be digging in around the islands and constructing fortifications there. This is extremely alarming to Sweden, whose protests have gone unanswer…

AAR: Foothold [spoiler Alert] - Blue By Daren Lorentz The Strait of Gibraltar has been a natural choke-point for centuries. With its narrow width and fluctuating currents, it was a perfect place for lurking submarines to hide. I held my breath as the convoy made its transit of the Strait. I was just breathing a sigh of relief when a sub was detected after leaving Gibraltar. Three Lynx were ordered aloft to interdict since she was well within the declared 150nm Exclusion zone. However, a Sea King already on formation patrol got there first and dropped her torpedoes on the Sugar Skunk. One struck aft of the sail. Another nasty surprise was revealed -- a sec…

Socrates, Socrates Hemlock View File This is a modernization of the original GIUK scenario "Attack on the Bastion." Blue's job is to neutralize the boomers, but in order to do that, it may be necessary to negate the surface playing field. Socrates Hemlock is a slightly easier version of the modification. Red's job is to protect the Silent Swords of the Rodina. There is a real, but small chance Marko Ramius may make an appearance. Also, Red's job includes negating Blue's airbase. Though Red lacks any bombers, I think you should be able to think of something . Purrastroika, 22 Jan. 2022 …

Christopher Stoner (aka DarkNite) has released a new HCCE scenario for the Westpac Battleset called "Allegro", a sequel to "Prelude" and apparently Part 2 of a three part series. Check it out ! This one looks at a PRC/Taiwan battle without actually involving the Taiwan Strait! Your primary mission will be to guide your SAG and Amphib groups from Taiwan past enemy units from the Chinese and Philipino sides trying to locate them. Use every trick you can think of because once you're spotted it can easily become a slugfest. Grab it at the HC Scen/AAR Page.

The launch of a Chinese lunar module experiment has failed, with the spacecraft returning to earth somewhere in the central Sea of Okhotsk (according to USAF Space Command). What is alarming, however, is that a scientist from the Chinese space program has defected to Japan, and he has some ominous news. He claims that the rocket was actually carrying an anti-satellite weapon that was being launched by the PRC as a prelude to an impending attack against Taiwan. The race is on to recover the module.
