Hammer Time for Egyptian Rafales (Flight Global)

Fun little game if you like geography. Mixed up my Slovenia and Slovak Republic. Otherwise would have been a clean sweep.

Bit more detail to add here: B-52s loaded with mines for simulated massive naval mine drop outside Sweden (The Aviationist blog) Though I wouldn't call 18x inert mines a "massive" minelaying effort.

The Finns recycled the name 'Hameenmaa' when they commissioned the new purpose built minelayers in 1992. It is unlikely that I will be adding the class. Maybe if these minelayers actually could lay mines. I suggest using the Pansio class and renaming one of its units Hameenmaa if its really needed for your BALTOPS scenario.

A simple after action report ... SPOILERS APPLY * * * * Achieved minimum victory after sinking two submarines, the US Navy's Seawolf class USS Seawolf (SSN-21) and the Royal Norwegian Navy's Ula class HNoMS Utvaer (S303). But not before the Seawolf managed to put two Mk 48 torpedoes into the German Navy's Rhon class tanker Spessart (A1442).

Good find especially re naval ops but I don't see any air or land OOB info there.
