Evening lads, I've attached a new scenario with a new version of the ANWDB for anyone who wants to test it. This is based on the current uprising in Libya and is based on the assumption that the town of Misurata has been captured by Gadaffi troops. Any and all feedback on this is greatly appreciated. If all goes well, this will be sent to AGSI for release in the next version. Later D Cumberland.zip

File Name: Atlantic Clash - scenario for H3 ANW and the HUD 3 File Submitter: RKoelbach File Submitted: 6 Dec 2010 File Updated: 6 Feb 2011 File Category: Scenarios DB Used: HUD 3 V 1.5.0 of 2010-10-30 (Darren Buckley) Authors: Ralf Koelbach Battleset: No Information Hi Pooners, my first scenario for H3 ANW (HUE), since HUE has been released. It is written for and with Darren´s HUD 3 V 1.5 database. Story: What would happen, if a current US CVBG clashes with a strong Russian CVBG, centered around the CVN Kusnetzov and full of up-to-date Flankers and Fulcrums? This one is a nice duel I think. Be careful when using time compression Hope you´ve f…

File Name: Visit to Valdez (mod. version) File Submitter: RKoelbach File Submitted: 2 Oct 2010 File Updated: 2 Oct 2010 File Category: Scenarios DB Used: HUD 3 Authors: AGSI (mod. version by Ralf Koelbach) Battleset: Cold War Visit to Valdez (mod. version) Scenario for Harpoon 3 ANW 3.9.4 and HUD 3 V 1.3 as of 2009-06-12 The original "Visit to Valdez" scenario is part of the "Cold War" Battleset. When it first came out back in 1996 or so, it was unplayable on the machines of that time. Fortunately, modern hardware makes playing even very large scenarios possible. This version is my interpretation of this complex scen. It is playable one side only…

Several pooners have written their own modification of this thrilling scen. In the HUD 3 version currently available, there is a modified version based on discussions Darren and I had. Here now is another variation, my "personal edition". …

It was my first built-from-scratch Harpoon 3 scenario. It took me a long time to write it since it should be as realistic as possible. This was only achievable by massive support from Ragnar Emsoy who taught me a lot about Harpoon 3, the …

File Name: Okinawa - modified version File Submitter: RKoelbach File Submitted: 1 Aug 2010 File Category: Scenarios DB Used: Harpoon 3 ANW Standard Database Authors: Modified version of a stock scen Battleset: Global Conflicts 1 Hi Pooners, long time ago I started to modify some Harpoon 2 stock scenarios in order to make them more challenging. Right now, waiting for 3.10, I thought it may be nice to convert some of them to Harpoon 3 ANW V 3.9.4 while still using the Standard Database everybody has. The first scen is a modification of "Okinawa", battleset Global Conflicts 1". It should be much more thrilling than the original - enjoy! Regards,…

Hi Tony, for rewriting and expanding my Pason-battleset (for HUD 3) I use your tool H3dsdedit - great one! I´ve got two questions related to that: 1. Is it possible to edit an existing dsd-file? 2. Is it possible to extract the text from a dsd-file an copy in (using H3dsdedit) into a new dsd-file? tia Ralf

The Hunt for The Arctic Sea Hi - I'm a new member to the forum but always been a fan of the Harpoon Classic Edition. Continued under the Harpoon Commanders Edition banner by Matrix Games. Bearing in mind players love of new scenarios - particularly those based on actual events. I'm surprised no ones mooted the idea of creating a scenario based on the mysterious events surrounding the disappearence of the russian cargo ship Artic Sea. Supposedly taken by Pirates and for which coastguards lost communications with, when the pirates switched off all comms & satellite tracking system - when it entered the busiest shipping lane in the world - namely the Engli…

Hello Pooners, I´ve just finished a scen for ANW 3.10 and the (upcoming) ANW DB V 2.3 called "Assault". It will be part of the 3.10 release (which includes ANW DB 2.3). This scen focuses on the new ANW feature "boarding/takeover". You´ll first have to shoot your way through a massive layered defense, then take a landing zone and build up a beachhead. After that you take the main base, facility after facility. For those, who´ve been waiting for a long time for this feature, like me, this will be great fun! Stay tuned! Regards, Ralf

I wrote it long ago for Harpoon 2, but could not make it as large as I liked because of H2´s performance problems. These problems have gone Though the scen is really large, it should run fast enough on modern PC´s. While it was two-sided back then I have rewritten it as US only,…
