Scenario Design & Discussion

From what I've been reading, Europe and its vicinity in 2020 might a lot like the "Great Powers" before World War I. The main players... * E.U. * Russia and its allies (Belarus, some of the Black Sea nations, etc.) * An alliance of Turkey and Israel (and some of their allies, perhaps Georgia) Wild card players who are trying to be independent of these blocs include Norway (not part of the E.U.), Ukraine, and Kazakhstan; the major North African states don't qualify as great powers but are strong enough to make a difference in a conflict (e.g., Russia and Egypt are stronger than Russia by itself). I am assuming that Egypt, Libya, Morocco, and Algeria do not for…

Using ANW v3.10.1.0 HUD3 DB v1.6.2 In designing a scenerio I have several sides; US, Iran, three seperate IADS sides (set up to defend Iran), and Turkmenistan. I have wanted to have a scenerio where an Iranian A/C "defects" to another another country i.e. Turkmenistan, and use the defecting A/C as a target. In setting up the postures I have made Iran/Turkmenistan "friendly", US/Turkmenistan "neutral" and Iran/US "hostile". While using the mission editor to have the A/C fly from the Iranian base to the Turkmenistan base the editor states that a ferry mission requires a friendly destination airfield or base. I beli…

File Name: A Crisis in the Gambia (1996) File Submitter: Mgellis File Submitted: 04 May 2013 File Category: Scenarios My fifteenth scenario of 2013... It is 1996 and a civil war is raging in the Gambia. The E.U. is concerned that the rebels have committed war crimes and have decided to assist the Gambian government. They must destroy a bridge near the city of Banjul and take out rebel forces in and around the country's only airport. They also have to do this without blowing up any schools, or the American embassy, by accident. (This is another scenario where you need to take out ground targets with limited air assets, but don't forget you have some nice …
