  1. How many Sylver VLS? Aster 15 only? As can be some confussion in this matter, I think a more complete answer is (I see also the basic SYLVER mount is of eight missiles): Aquitaine (French ASW FREMM, IOC 2012) 16xAster 15 in SYLVER A43 launchers. 16xSCALP Naval in SYLVER A70 launchers. 8xExocet MM.40 Block III in Exocet launchers. 1x76mm Oto Melara Super Rapid. 2x2 324mm TT for 19 MU-90. 2x12.7mm MG (to be replaced by 2x20mm tele-commanded guns). 1xlarge helicopter. Region 10 (French FREDA/Air Defence FREMM, IOC 2021. Previously to be general-purpose with the designation AVT) 16xAster 15 in SYLVER A43 launchers. 16xAster 30 in SYLVER A50 launchers. 8xExocet MM.40 Block III in Exocet launchers. 1x76mm Oto Melara Super Rapid. 2x2 324mm TT for 19 MU-90. 2x12.7mm MG (to be replaced by 2x20mm tele-commanded guns). 1xlarge helicopter. F590 Carlo Bergamini (Italian ASW FREMM, IOC 2012): 32xAster 15 in SYLVER A43 launchers. 4xOtomat Mk2 Block IV in Teseo launchers. 4xMilas in Teseo launchers. 2x76mm Oto Melara Super Rapid. 2x3? 324mm TT for 19 MU-90. 2x20mm/80 KBA Oto Melara Oerlikon. 2xlarge helicopter. F595 (Italian multi-role FREMM, IOC 2017?): 32xAster 15 in SYLVER A43 launchers (perhaps some Aster 30). Empar radar replacing Herakles. 8xOtomat Mk2 Block IV in Teseo launchers. 1x127mm/64 LW Oto Melara. 1x76mm Oto Melara Super Rapid. 2x2 324mm TT for 19 MU-90. 2x20mm/80 KBA Oto Melara Oerlikon. 2xlarge helicopter. Mohammed VI (Morocco, IOC 2013)(don't confuse she with the Floreal class Mohammed V): 32xAster 15 in SYLVER A43 launchers. 8xExocet MM.40 Block III in Exocet launchers. 1x76mm Oto Melara Super Rapid. 2x2 324mm TT for 19 MU-90. 2x12.7mm MG (to be replaced by 2x20mm tele-commanded guns). 2?xlarge helicopter. Others considerations: It's possible the instalation of a triple SYLVER A35 launcher with 24xMICA VL enplaced port of the helicopter hangar. They are a space reserve forward of the bridge for other 16xSYLVER A70/50/35 missile launchers. The hangar is capable of a EH101 size helicopter (large helicopter). The helicopter-carrying capability is listed usually as 2xNH90 (small helicopters) or 1xEH101 Merlin (large helicopter).

  2. - The Spanish FF Descubierta class converted in OPV (Without ASW systems and without Sea Sparrow/Aspide) from 2004. More details later or at request.
  3. - Moroccan FREMM FFG Mohammed VI, 2013, as the French ASW ones but without SCALP naval. http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=111709 (they are other new moroccan OPV, I'll try to find it later this weekend). - Italian KC-767A, IOC May 2011, four planes (but now I see they are a generic entry for KC-767, I'm sorry!). - Perhaps some generic business jet with ESM. - Perhaps that very rare bird from Luxembourg or other generic sea patrol civilian turboprop with FLIR? http://www.meretmarine.com/article.cfm?id=116615
  4. The last cause was the Iranian illegal shipping of weapons to Hamas ...
  5. I like more she-spooks-dating ...
  6. Hi, Don: I've lose or disordened some things of those scenarios, but I suppose you mean this: Original Blue Orders Scenario 2: Blue Orders Scenario 3:
  7. I suppose yes that victory conditions are keeped on the scenarios, but I don't known what was really released ultimately ...

All-out pre-Columbian Alien Invasion 2016: For thousands of years the Nest Ship and perhaps some Mother Ships rested deeply in the Chicxulub meteor impact crater after her interstellar travel with the basic elements moleculary disassembled, occult and mixed in cenotes and with other terrain irregularities and culturally coverted by local legends (or emplaced in the remains of the Olmec and Epi-Olmec cities and power centers of San Lorenzo Tenochtitlan, La Venta, Laguna de los Cerros, El Tajin or Cerro de las Mesas, in the old Olmec Heartland, or in Bimini Road, or in the Bermuda Triangle area), blind and automatically working on the self-reconstruction and activation of her colonization forces. At last, after a very long time the slow Invaders have enought forces for the military occupation of Gaia and begin the last phase of the invasion, the genetically induced biological reconstruction of the Aliens own bodies. But while concludes the biological reconstruction they need temporarily the support of other biological forces, and the Aliens have found help in related biosocial groups and countries that seemingly share the same way of vision of state and religion-controlled swarm mind, collectivist life and fanatic determinism: the Islamist and the Communists ones.

  9. Testing the alien drone in a macro-invasion scenario: The heat ray gun installed in the drone is uncapable of attack land targets
  10. I don't want remember about the Challenger loss and the future opportunities lost with her ... (and with Columbia). I remember the first experimental flight of the Columbia with only two crewmembers, and the report about a Hawaiian telescope seeing the spaceship underbelly for possible lost tiles ... I remember on the sucessive years the growing controversy about actual higher cost of the shuttle spaceflights than those in ordinary not-reusable rockets spaceflights. But the Shuttle program was a very good-looking dream, I hope it keeps for years the public interest in manned spaceflights
  11. Who is now mocking of the denostated Carlo Kopp?
  12. ... and be cautious, two allied planes shoot-down or one ship sunked, and you obviuosly loss ...
  13. As you know, a rear facing radar is not currently possible as far as HCE is concerned. Yes, I known.... , was only a consideration for hypothetical future iterations of the game
  14. Some considerations about the P-8 Poseidon, after the article in the July 2011 issue of Air International: - The planned strength on the US Navy VP- Squadrons will be 6xP-8 in each squadron, not one-to-one replacement to the nowadays dotation of 9xP-3C Orion. - The US Navy P-8A has not MAD, the Indian P-8I is MAD equipped (as reflected in the DB) - The P-8A has only a forward facing APY-10 surface search radar, the P-8I has the APY-10 radar and a rearwards facing APS-143C(V)3 radar, also with air-to-air air search capability (not reflected in the DB).
  15. I don't remember now very well what were the orders in the ultimately published edition of the USNI scenarios, but: - The original alternative and independent Total Victory Condition in the first sketch of the scenario was 12 Libyan ships sunk, and the alternative and independent MinVic condition 9 Libyan ships sunk. Later, for sake of scenario simplification for newbies, the number of libyan ships was reduced in the scenario probably only to the four Nanuchka class boats in the published scenario, and the Victory condition probably reduced to two Libyan ships sunk (number historically damaged/sunked), and only to Minimum Victory level because the limited number of ships sunked requiered to win, and reflecting the confrontation was not finished and extended to the next days/hours. - Other alternative and independent victory condition was the Ticonderoga SAG three ships on station for 1 hour 50 minutes below 32-30 North. And the stablished level of victory was also Minimum Victory because the same reasons of reflecting the confrontation as limited and not finished. Incidentally, the teleprinter orders are almost 90% historically accurate, and based on this document: http://www.dod.gov/pubs/foi/reading_room/234.pdf But I see it's not directly available now .... The site were I finded it was: http://www.dod.mil/pubs/foi/rdroom.html The Libyan air defence SAM network was based on the link to the file on (the pdf document shows on the pictures the Libyan air defence network in Russian, it must be true!): http://sites.google.com/site/samsimulator1972/home but the file linked at Download documentation describing "Operation El-Dorado Canyon" is not operative now ...
  16. Perhaps it's not a good end for the whole affair, but I'm shadowing this issue and for me the methods of certain journalist are very disturbing and are menacing the roots of our culture and societies based on the mutual confidence (and they are more worse journos actuations), and it has some relation with my oncoming thesis about the State of Fear. (In Spanish language I use the expression "periodistas-terroristas", more or less "journalists-terrorists", but the I think the rime in this example is better in Spanish!).
  17. Magnificent and terrible ships, thanks. And also: http://www.avalanchepress.com/gameZeppelins.php And also remembering now a curious and interesting film about Umberto Nobile and the Italia, and a lot of other artic flying pioneers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Red_Tent_(film)
  18. I only use the Avalanche Press games as inspiration and for historical research, I never detach the counters, and in particular I don't have any version of War Plan Orange, but I see that can be a common problem: Some links, reflecting the ambiguity of the issue and the Mike Bennighof motivations: http://www.avalanchepress.com/Town-Class.php (only a inspirational link) http://www.avalanchepress.com/Destroyers_preview.php http://www.avalanchepress.com/Destroyers_ToyStory.php But I see some answers in: http://www.kaybee.org/~kirk/sopac/rules.html Whithout more interest: http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/69951/us-n...an-black-review
  19. Don't forget the aforementionated good source for French warships data: http://www.netmarine.net/bat/listes/flot1974.htm http://www.netmarine.net/bat/listes/flot1976.htm Err ... Tartu ( was a T-53 with increased capability of tracking and control of aircrafts and not a T-47) and not Tartar : http://www.netmarine.net/bat/ee/tartu/index.htm http://www.netmarine.net/bat/ee/tartu/caracter.htm
  20. Fascinating period, fascinating series of games and fascinating programmated alternative history Thanks for sharing.
