Probably a tip for only the young players (well scenario writers). If you use sea mines it appears that the Misc Settings, AI settings must NOT restrict submarines to remain on their course.

AAR: Stage Fright [spoiler Alert] A Harpoon Classic scenario By Brad Leyte Barrackpore was just launching its routine patrols when a hangar containing three aircraft exploded in flame. INCOMING! There had been no warning whatsoever. So, the Chinese were trying to implement their own version of Pearl Harbour. Well, we would teach them, the Bangladeshis, and the Burmese that their new friends in Beijing are a long ways away. Port Blair was looking pretty exposed and understrength so all Flankers from Bangalore were immediately ordered to ferry over to bolster her defences. Airborne radar coverage over the Eastern provinces was desperately need…

SPOILER ALERT (Note played in latest beta GE 2010.019, that might make a difference) Opening the game (playing blue) paused: it is just after midnight in calm conditions with three surface groups of patrol boats comprising 2 groups of three Saar (gabriel SSMs 12 mile range) and one group (AAS) of two Dabur ("pop-guns" only) cruising about 45 miles out from Latakia, the two Saar groups being close to each other and about 20 miles north west of the Daburs. No enemy are detected other than Latakia but intelligence indicates two or three fast missile boats (long range styxs SSM) are deployed. The Saar groups are both conducting a similar curved patrol taking them in a l…

A new RAND report contains a number of hypothetical scenarios which are focused on aircraft carrier operations and which might provoke some ideas for new Harpoon scenarios (hopefully). The full report is here. China-Taiwan Crisis (2009) The government in Beijing waited until after the 2008 Olympic Games before taking a direct coercive approach against Taiwan. The motivation to take such direct action increased during the games, since the leadership in Taipei used China’s refusal to admit its team into the games as an opportunity to pronounce its “new national status” and virtually declare independence from the mainland. Within a month of the end of the games, Beij…

File Name: Matrix Siege (remake) File Submitter: divefreak File Submitted: 1 Sep 2007 File Updated: 2 Sep 2007 File Category: GIUK This is a remake of the old GUIK II Scen Matrix Siege for GUIK and the latest HC_Euro_DB 1. BACKGROUND 1.1 What is a Brown Water Navy? Well, first of all, it's not a Blue Water Navy! Right now, the only real blue water navy is the US Navy. The Russians will have one again, soon. The British and the French have the makings for one. And the Indians want one. A blue water navy can use any of the oceans, any of the time, for as long as it wants; until, that is, it is challenged by another blue water navy. In short, the…

They are small, and playable from RED or BLUE in each case. I hope that these will serve as a training tool for beginners, and an overview of the relative capabilities of American, French, Russian, and British carrier groups around 2014 or so for more advanced players. "Historical" accuracy is a goal, so Tomcats, Backfires, Vikings, etc. are absent in this collec…
