Scenario Design & Discussion

Hello I pulled out my old harpoon97 disk a few days ago. I have the new game "Command" and I would like to use the story line from Interactive Magic's Harpoon Classic 97 I have the following for credit for the scenarios. This scenario was created by the following: Harpoon Rules by Larry Bond Published by the Game Designers Workshop Harpoon Classic Scenario Editor for Windows verions 1.55c copyright 11994 by Applied Computing Services Inc Portions copyright 1994 by Alliance Interactive Inc.

I'm struggling getting some AAA batteries to engage air targets. I placed some AAA for 'bad guys' on Cyprus, assigned them an AAW mission and created a hostile 'good guys' flight from a nearby carrier. I changed doctrine a bit so I hope they would engage, but to no avail. Scenario is attached if anyone wants to take a look.

Usual spoilers apply. The author did a great job with the scenario background, description and general layout. I chose the southern route for my aircraft, via the Gulf of Aqaba and the northern boundary of the KSA, and then nearly straight across the breadth of Iraq. (I am not sure the latter part of the southern route is a legitimate reflection of what would likely be available to the Israelis, but who really knows). All of the B707 tankers and the two G550 were sent forward to patrol zones along the Iraq-Iran border. The strike packages were arranged in the following order: F-16I with AGM-88A HARM (too few of them) for the SEAD role F…

Usual spoilers apply. Build 460. I honestly expected this scenario to be tougher. Other than some nervous moments when STANAVFORLANT was approached by Badger D reconnaissance aircraft (and in expectation of bombers to follow - they never came), it was pretty uneventful. The Soviet SAG was a pushover. They were quickly located by P-3 Orion maritime reconnaissance aircraft and never posed a threat to the phibgru or STANAVFORLANT. A single flight of 4x Buccaneers laid waste to the entire group with TV guided AJ.168 Martel air to surface missiles. The AS.37 Martel anti-radar versions and Bullpup armed F-104G Starfighters were not needed. I also expected to…

Usual spoilers apply. There must be a victory condition that is related to the number of Russkie aircraft downed rather than having your phibgru on station off Sakhalin, as this scenario appeared to end early (ie. prior to arrival off Sakhalin). Lost too many aircraft by being forced to tangle with Russian fighters (especially Foxhounds) at close range. The Eagles seemed especially vulnerable. OTOH, Russian warships proved quite vulnerable to the passive IIR guided ASM-2. Triumph: 500
