Scenario Design & Discussion

After Action Report: United They Sail A scenario by Mark Gellis Transiting the Strait of Hormuz in a time of conflict is not a comfortable proposition. Particularly when one has to do so without the considerable force that can be brought by bear by Western air and naval firepower, both land and sea based. Thankfully, however, the UAE has decided to invest heavily in its self-defence, including procurement of the F-16E/F Block 60 Desert Falcon. Because of their presence, the Iranian F-4s, F-5s and even F-14s gave me very little trouble. It was the naval threat, and particularly the undersea threat posed by submarines and sea mines, that worried me. …

Hello all. I work (worked) in the performing arts here in Colorado, so I now have lots of free time. I'll have time to do a scenario or two if you would like. I'm looking for suggestions, so let me know if there's one you have always wanted and I'll put one together for you.

AAR: Thirst for Victory [spoiler Alert] A Harpoon Classic scenario By Brad Leyte The first order of business was to get some CAP [Combat Air Patrols] over the precious water supplies. The water tankers were coming in from India and their loss would spell doom for the nation. However, with Malaysia and Indonesia sitting on both sides of the transit route, that was easier said than done. It would be like travelling down a straw that might be squeezed by a giant fist at any time. I gambled and sent the Falcons from Brunei aloft right away. They were currently unarmed, but I had a feeling that I was going to their defensive / offensive punch ASAP. The so…

From the red airbase Za shall takeoff air groups to attack the blue airbase Aa from south, east, west and north and this automatic repeatable every four hours. Now the simple question: How is this scenario to generate with the scenario editor? It seems in the scenario editor are only direct bearing attacks possible.

Greetings, I'm attempting to build my first scenario (GCC without the US v. Iran) and I'd like to include a Qatar based AN/TPY-2 radar set. The only unit that I know in the game which possesses this particular set is the INTL SAM THAAD BTY, which unfortunately includes the launchers and a large complement of interceptors (since I'd like it to only be for surveillance, missiles are a hassle). So on to my questions. In order to strip the launchers (and the avenger platoon also) do I need to use the platform editor? Can I change missile counts there as well? I can't yet open the platform editor, apparently I need an update or patch. I tried downloading the c…
