File Name: The Hibernia Incident (NWARN1) File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: NACV The Hibernia Incident (Part 1 of 2) Campaign 8 - Atlantic Resource Conflict New World Order series HDS3 NACV Battleset Canada and Spain had quarrelled before about the right to fish resources on the continental shelf off Newfoundland. Fortunately that dispute had largely been verbal in nature. But now, in the 21st century, with global resources growing ever smaller, the Spanish were back ... in force. Instead of heeding a warning from the Canadian government to stay outside a newly declared 300 nm EEZ, the Spanish refused to recognize the new boundary and sent warships to escort their fishing fleet. Spanish Navy vessels are patrolling inside the Canadian 300 nm EEZ, maintaining contact with their fishing fleet and shadowing Canadian Fisheries surveillance vessels. Efforts at diplomacy are underway but both sides seem determined to have it their way. The Canadian government has dispatched a naval group to show its fortitude. (Released September 2000).

File Name: Kick Down the Door File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: IOPG Kick Down the Door EC2000 Battle for the Gulf of Oman This scenario is intended to investigate the challenges and difficulties posed by the currently ongoing Operation Enduring Freedom, that is, if only certain realities were different. In this scenario, which some might describe as worst case, Pakistan has refused to grant the USA access to its airspace, and furthermore, has allied with Afghanistan in the protection and sponsorship of the infamous terrorist Osama Bin Laden.

File Name: Helo File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: MEDC Helo EC2000 Battle for the Mediterranean It occurred to me that there aren't many HC/HC97/HC2002 scenarios which focus on helicopter combat, particularly helo vs helo warfare in the virtual absence of fixed wing aircraft. Hence HELO. In this scenario, you are commander of a joint US/UK force operating inside the war ravaged Balkans. Your force controls the airports at Sarajevo and Mostar, but little else. A British Royal Navy task group centred around HMS Ocean is enroute with reinforcements, and a force of eight C-130 Hercules airlifters are sitting on the tarmac at Souda awaiting your confirmation that the area is secure. The enemy is well equipped with Hind gunships and assault helos, and enemy ground troops are heading in your direction. They have every intention of kicking you out of the region. Get the Ocean task group safely to Beachhead Freedom, and the Hercules safely into Sarajevo. Time is of the essence. (Released April 2003). Click here to download this file

It never again fully trusted its European neighbors, although it participated alongside them in the conflicts that followed with Bangladesh, India and the New Soviet Confederation (NSC). With the US and NSC effectively removed from participation as a major players on the world stage, the EU was was the only remaining "superpower". Rivalries grew between its members in mid 2002, especially between France and the UK, and France officially withdrew from the EU later that year. On the surface, it appeared the disagreement was being fueled by the commonly held belief that France was failing to abide by the spirit of the 1998 Code of Conduct on foreign arms sales, but some believed the dispute had much deeper roots. By February 2003, the UK and France were battling each other with economic sanctions and embargoes, and each stepped onto the slippery slope to war once more. (Released July 2000).

File Name: Doolittle Two File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK Doolittle Two EC2000 Battle for the Norwegian Sea The Russians have launched a massive attack throughout the Norwegian Sea theater, seizing a beachhead near Orland about halfway down the coast of Norway. The Norwegians are still in the fight, but it is doubtful for how long. The enemy has followed up their first wave of attacks with the deployment of not one, but two, very large carrier battle groups. Intel indicates that both Kuznetsov and Varyag have put to sea, together with a large number of escorts, including nuclear powered battlecruisers and ASW carriers. At least one of these CVBGs is expected to bolster the beachhead in Norway, while the other may threaten Iceland or even the North Atlantic. Arrayed against the gathering Russian storm cloud, the US Navy has advanced a two pronged defence. The Mobile Offshore Base Mitchel has forward deployed to a large fjord in eastern Greenland, together with a modified Air Expeditionary Wing. The Wing will have its hands full in defending against the two Russian CVBGs and in supporting our counter-attack. And, in the south, we are pushing ahead with a plan to retake Norway. A PHIBGRU has been rapidly assembled and is now heading north for the Gap. It is critical that the group successfully reach its objective. (Released September 2002). Click here to download this file

File Name: CV32 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: GIUK CV32 EC2000 Battle for the Norwegian Sea Sweden is taking brave steps to hold back the Russian offensive in the Baltic Sea. The odds are stacked against their success. The USAF has sent forces into the theater to help turn the tide, and the British have deployed the first of a new class of aircraft carriers formerly known as the CVF (modeled by the Saratoga). With an air wing of F/A-18E Hornets (the British JSF was cancelled in this timeline), including several new EA-18G Growler (modeled by the EA-7L), the British hope to act quickly to save the Swedes and open the door for the follow-up American flyers. Time is not on your side, as intel reports that a Russian PHIBGRU has been assembled and is already enroute. (Released September 2002). Click here to download this file

File Name: Back to Baghdad File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Category: IOPG Back to Baghdad EC2000 Battle for the Gulf of Oman It is late 2002, and the prospect of war in the Persian Gulf is once again considered very likely. The US has already deployed large forces to the theater in preparation for what looks to be an inevitable conflict with Iraq, and the buildup continues. The political landscape, however, is very different from what it was in 1991. Both Saudi Arabia and Turkey, key Coalition partners in Operation Desert Storm, have this time refused to permit American forces to deploy troops at their installations or launch offensive operations from their soil. A handful of Gulf nations, and a naval force centred around the ageing carrier USS Constellation, are presently the only platforms from which US and British forces may engage the enemy. If Saddam decides to act first, will it be enough ? (Released March 2003). Click here to download this file

File Name: The Final Showdown - IOPFED14 File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 7 Apr 2007 File Updated: 6 Dec 2008 File Category: IOPG DB Used: Original database Authors: Allen Battleset-IOPG: .scl - EC2000 - EC2000 The Final Showdown EC2000 Battle for the Gulf of Oman The demise of the European Federation last month was met with joy and celebration throughout the Allied powers of the world. A meaningful treaty is expected within weeks, with reparations and prisoner exchange to be negotiated over the next few months. In addition, the Allied victory in the East Indian Ocean a few weeks ago caused several Indian surface units to be handed over, including a Cochin-class carrier. This is now under Allied command guarding the Straits of Hormuz. This major victory was believed to signal the end of the upstart Near East Federation. The reverse, however, seems to have taken place. There are indications that the Arab situation has remained belligerent. Hardliners in the Arab faction are diehards and claim to be the true defenders of the Near East Federation. Not accepting the end of their European sponsorship nor the loss of Indian support, they have dug in their heels. Their policy is a fanatical last-stand position. In addition, a few renegade EuroFed hardliners have sequestered some capital ships, submarines and surface units. They have delivered them back into the hands of the Arab factions already in place, and are conducting a coordinated attack on the Allied interests in the Persian Gulf. Abu Dhabi is their primary target. Intelligence reports also show that they intend to attack any Allied long-range missile platforms approaching the area. This would indicate that the Tico SWP platforms are to be targeted. Equally in danger are amphibious units and the carriers. They should be provided with extra air and sea protection due to the volatile nature of the area and the fanaticism of these Arab factions. Click here to download this file
