Great report Don, thanks for sharing.

Few time these days, I'm not sure the scenario is winnable both sides.

Another Senkaku crisis. July 2024. Hypothetical Scenario. Another Senkaku crisis. July 2024. Hypothetical Scenario. A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the Western Pacific WesPac Battleset and the HCDB2-170909 (or later) 1980-2025 era Platform Database. This scenario is designed with Advanced Scenario Editor Build 2017.013 and to be run with HCE 2015.008+ or later. This scenario is designed to be played from the Blue/Japanese side or from the Red/Chinese side. You should play a few times first the Blue side to avoid spoilers, and only later play the Red side.

Basically the Chinese are defending the recent occupied islands, and the Japanese are trying to recovery the inhabited territory. Both sides concurring with very limited theatre forces, to avoid an escalade. In consequence not too easy for any side. Enrique Mas, April 18, 2026.

Yes, I have the same questions about generic items (Most small drones are in fact reducible to some few generic types), and most if not all kamikaze (loitering or not) drones are reducible to weapons.

Thanks you very much!

I see in the new website image is not a direct or indirect link to scenario and other downloads. Or is it only my computer???

´Just another problem is the limitation of 4096 or so entries by type. Begin a DB, as 2026-2036 and after be limitated by that and start again from zero!

Just few hours ago, in a FB group:

Also, in a current times DB probably we need less platforms (less in service types of aircraft, ships and submarines in I think every country).

For me the game is relevant, purchased Command CMNO but not very interested on it. About the DB, not problem on centralize it or a new start (in fact my personal DB is very modified, including decoys and countermeasures in many platforms).

The idea should be the employ of "secret" airfields in Pacific islands against some Chinese force: https://seapowermagazine.org/marines-establish-refueling-point-in-indo-pacific/

Very "simple" but interesting and funny scenario. Victory achived after some 15 hours of game time, after sunk six Russian warships and the fake merchant/Japanese drone carrier. Very interesting the use of the only tanker in Poland to support the Gripen strikes. Also on the Russian side the range limitations operating from a relatively far base. Thanks Don!

Same, also not idea about it!
