File Name: Black Moon Sailing (2014) File Submitter: Mgellis File Submitted: 06 Dec 2012 File Category: Scenarios Israeli forces must intercept a Turkish merchant vessel believed to be carrying weapons and other supplies for Hamas.

Source: http://www.defenseimagery.mil/ Author's Note: This scenario takes advantage of the feature in H3/ANW that allows one to board and take control of a vessel without sinking it--to win this scenario, you have to complete a boarding/takeover mission (among other things); simply sinking the merchant will not be enough.

File Name: Coast Bronco (2015) File Submitter: Mgellis File Submitted: 26 Jul 2013 File Category: Scenarios My 26th scenario of 2013... In the near future, a small American task force must take on a drug cartel operating out of Costa Rica. (This might be a good scenario for people getting used to Harpoon ANW...it is not hard to win as long as you are careful and don't take unnecessary risks. It is, I think, a good example of how Harpoon ANW does well with small scenarios and in modeling low intensity conflicts; I also had fun mapping out part of the Western coast of Costa Rica using online resources to identify where beach resorts, etc. were located).…

File Name: Coconut Crisis 1980 File Submitter: Mgellis File Submitted: 17 Feb 2012 File Updated: 27 Jul 2012 File Category: Scenarios DB Used: HUD 4 v 1.1 b8 Authors: Mark Gellis Battleset: No Information In 1980, there was a quasi-rebellion in the New Hebrides. Historically, there was little loss of life. But what if the organization behind the rebellion was more violent, and Great Britain decided to eliminate the threat, but France refused to allow Great Britain to use force in an area where they were co-administrators? So, the British task force must conduct the raid but it is possible that France will attack them before they even reach the New Hebrides..…

File Name: ColdWar File Submitter: Herman File Submitted: 6 Nov 2008 File Category: Scenarios DB Used: Y2kDB v10.0.0 Authors: Klaus Behrmann Battleset: Stand-alone The End of the Cold War Something went entirely wrong, and it happened so fast that nobody could recall immediately when and where it started. The Soviets were under the impression that NATO was preparing for an attack on the motherland and decreed that securing Iceland for a prolonged war was vital to victory; thus they mobilized each operational vessel in the Northern Fleet and managed to occupy the Faroes as a prelude. NATO then, too, scrambled every available asset in the North Atlantic, and w…

File Name: Crisis in Mallorca (2018) File Submitter: Mgellis File Submitted: 31 Mar 2013 File Category: Scenarios My eleventh scenario of 2013... Insurgents have seized part of the island of Mallorca. Spain has to take it back. They also have to board and take control of a merchant where high value hostages are being held... (This one is not too hard to win, but you have to think about your tactics and use caution when approaching the insurgent positions. There are a few surprises waiting...)

File Name: Crocodile Snare (1980) File Submitter: Mgellis File Submitted: 17 Jul 2013 File Category: Scenarios My 25th scenario of the year... This scenario assumes that the brief war that took place between Egypt and Libya in 1977 has continued and that Italy has tried to broker a peace between these two nations. However, when Egypt begins preparing for a new offensive in 1980, Italy decides that further aggression against Libya is unacceptable and decides to intercept an Egyptian convoy carrying vital supplies to the occupied port of Tubruk...

The Australian government makes the decision to move forces into the area and to protect the city of Dili if Indonesia decides to attack.

File Name: Fish in a Barrel - modified version File Submitter: JSF File Submitted: 20 May 2012 File Category: Scenarios DB Used: HUD 3 V 1.5.0 Authors: Stock scenario from AGSI, modified version Battleset: Stock Battleset Cold War Hi Pooners, my first scenario work after a long time. It stems from a discussion with a new player over there at Matrix. He described his first experiences and especially some rather dull AI performances. Oh, well... Thus I tweaked the stock scenario "Fish in a Barrel" a little... Should be much sharper now. Highly recommended to play US side if you want to have a strong opponent.

File Name: Gallic Spark (1984) File Submitter: Mgellis File Submitted: 27 Jun 2013 File Category: Scenarios My 22nd scenario of the year... In 1984, a coup took place in Guinea. This scenario assumes that French businessmen were arrested by the new government, charged with espionage, and executed. France wants revenge... (As is often the case, the real challenge, and part of the Victory Conditions, is not just achieving your goals but doing so with minimal losses. This scenario has already been updated to the new version of the HUD-4, v1.2, so you will have to download that. With other scenarios, remember, since a new version of the HUD-4 is out, y…

File Name: Gray Hermit (1984) File Submitter: Mgellis File Submitted: 31 Aug 2013 File Category: Scenarios My 29th scenario of 2013... This Cold War scenario assumes the Soviets have stealthily moved a couple of submarines into Hudson Bay. Canada considers this intolerable and acts to remove this threat. I think this one turned out quite well. It might work well as a scenario for people getting used to Harpoon ANW because it is a straightforward search-and-destroy mission and you only have a few ships and aircraft to control. The only drawback, and this is often the case with an ASW scenario, is that there can be a lot of waiting while you search. …
