Scenario Design & Discussion

This is a tough scenario, I will post my play by play and stats....If you haven't played this one, I recommend you do.. Iran-Israel 2010, Survival of Israel? Read orders.....Must Destroy Targets -Bushehr comprising his nuclear reactor (ZPa) -the Nuke Sites 1 (YSb), 2 (YRb) and 3 (YQb), -the Terror Camps 1 (YDa), 2 (YCa) and 3 (YBa), -and the TBM Site (YFb) *** Near Terehan *** (first you must to localize some of those targets). (Zero-time) Study layout, Locate targets... Very Large Scenario - ..... (YfB) Shall be the first target to protect from any ballistic Missile Launches...... (900 miles one way - Tankers needed) *** Relocate…

to rename the generic INTL Airbase <size> when using them? I've looked for the key to do so, but either it doesn't exist, or I'm missing something obvious. While I'm asking about the Scenario Editor: Is there any way to see group and/or unit inclusion probabilities? i.e. for example, the original GIUK Dawn Patrol sometimes has 3 Nanuchkas, and other times has 4. Any way to find or display the probability? Would be nice to know the intent of the scenario designer when updating the scenarios.

Well, I finally got the new Harpoon (HCE). So far, I'm very impressed. A couple of questions... First, it seems like you can only load one extra battleset (South Africa, etc.) at a time. All the files use the hdsu.res and hdsu.rsr files and each time you load a new one, it replaces the last one. The scenario files remain, but you need to restore the appropriate map to play it, I guess. (I tried changing the file to something like hdsv.res, but it didn't work.) Is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Second, how do you get AI subs to move in the scenario editor? Do you set a course, and THEN set a speed, or what? So far, they just sit where …

I 've just built a Gulf of Tonkin BS using the BS Builder, and now I'm trying my hand at designing some scenarios to go with it. I have to fess up that scenario construction has never been one of my greater skills. What I would like to do is place some structures ashore, defend them with SAM Sites, land based interceptors, etc, and then attempt to attack and destroy the structures with a CV Air Strike. The problem I have is that structures, SAM sites, etc. do not appear in the initial loading of the scenario, and must be detected by other means. Since launching a strike against structures like this presupposes the location of the target is permanent and known and …

Hi all, I'm new to the world of Harpoon and have been inspired by the recent flare-up of debate over the Falklands to experiment with the Battleset and Scenario editors, using the latest HCDA database. Having played a few games I've come to appreciate the qualities of electronic warfare platforms. In the Falklands the UK has a Joint Communications Unit providing EW support to its armed forces. This is based at RAF Mount Pleasant. I wondered whether there was any way of including such a land-based platform in my scenarios? I'm familiar with the airborne platfroms but I can't wrok out whtehr a land-based one is possible within the game (and if not, why not?). …

Iran's stubborn refusal to submit to the authority of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) with regard to its nuclear program led to its emergency reference to the UN Security Council. Resolutions aimed at sanctioning Iran and leaving the door open for further action were vetoed by both Russia and China. The EU3 (France, Germany and the UK) and the United States nevertheless pressed ahead with their cooperative efforts to find a way to bring punitive action against Iran. The debacle in Pakistan, however, badly aggravated the situation. US intelligence discovered (thanks to a tip from the Mossad) that Pakistan had covertly assisted in the escape of mastermind Osam…

Okay, here's the situation... I just upgraded to Windows 7, and I love it, but the scenario editor no longer works. The game itself runs fine, though. I understand this has something to do with the difference between 64-bit and 32-bit systems. I know there are some work-arounds for this, including Virtual Machines, etc., but I don't have any of those set up yet and I'm honestly not sure when I will get around to it. Any chance someone is working on a new version of the scenario editor? You know, one that will work under Windows 7? In any event, it occurred to me that I can still contribute to the Harpoon community by posting detailed scenario ideas …

Unable to save any edited scenarios. Running Windows 10Pro. Game runs fine. Thoughts?..

I'm an experienced Harpoon, commanders edition scenario creator. I like to create very large scenarios. However, if I make one very large, I sometimes get a memory allocation failure message. Is there a way to avoid that? Thanks, Steve

Friends, A quick question... Do you know where I can find out... What countries are building (or are likely to be building) ships or planes for other countries (and who their customers are or are likely to be)? And... What countries are selling (or likely to be selling) older vessels and aircraft to other countries (and, again, who their customers are likely to be)? Thanks. Mark

The European Union has long been unhappy with American economic and military sanctions against the People's Republic of China. In recent years, the EU has grown increasingly concerned that the sanctions were unduly stifling European prosperity by blocking access to a huge market. The EU continued to bring diplomatic pressure to bear on Washington as the sanctions dragged on, hoping that eventually they would be lifted. Instead, when American intelligence community insisted that it had discovered an apparent link between China and the Iranian nuclear weapons program, the sanctions were tightened, much to the chagrin of the EU. The focus has now shifted away from diplomacy,…

This is sort of scenario design question, sort of Battleset design question, but as there is no Battleset sub forum I'll bung it here. What do people think of the concept of having the names of major islands, island groups and seas included on HC texture map for a battleset . Here is a sample of the sort of thing I'm thinking of: This is something I did while playing with the HC map to include more of the islands of the south west pacific for my pacific islands battleset. My thought with the name text is to allow reference in orders to seas, oceans and islands, eg patrol the Banda Sea

In the today news, a scenario clearly described, and not for a Pooner ! http://www.rnw.nl/english/article/netherla...d-dutch-weapons

A neutral surface combatant launched an unprovoked SSM attack on Red forces. This was not programed in the SE. Customary?

I downloded HC's new BattleSets I can find bases in scenario editor for Middle East (including the Red Sea and the eastern Mediterranean) However I can't find bases, in the scenario editor for : Caribbean Basin South Atlantic South Africa The base list seems to have some "generics" like Lrage Airfield, medium Airfield etc. Which I would rhink would allow me to place them in any Battleset. Can you folks advise me what to do. Without bases the new Battlests leave a lot to be desired. Thanks. PS what does this mena? "These newest BattleSets, and the scenarios that come packaged with HCE for them, again all use the HCDB database hosted here at Harp…

The release by Matrix of a new HUCE patch (with a very large amount of enhancements) has spurred on some of the Harpgamer crew and we have a new Pacific Islands battleset in the making utalising some of TonyE's tips so as to break the eastern 180 deg boundary and include Hawaii (Pearl Harbour), amongst other locations, and also additional island land-mass in the elevation map. The above pic is a representation of the cover we are looking at with notation illustrating islands that are available. It's yet to be decided but the geogrphical notation might be included in texture map. At present we are considering a couple of strings of scenario sets in different time peri…

Cruise Control The 32nd new scenario of the year! Following the Israeli-Lebanese War of 2006, Lebanon was left weakened and unstable. Syria felt it was in its best interests to occupy the country. Beirut has come under attack and American forces are scrambling to rescue refugees. This scenario requires Harpoon Classic version 16b11 or later and also the HCDB_060614 for maximum efficiency.
