  1. File Name: Perisher File Submitter: Herman File Submitted: 6 Nov 2008 File Category: Scenarios DB Used: Y2kDB v10.0.0 Authors: Klaus Behrmann Battleset: Stand-alone Perisher Special The USA have agreed a joint exercise with Canada to simulate the forced entry into a hostile country, using moderate air force assets, shore batteries modeling Silkworm launchers and frigates simulating missile boats. Canadian diesel submarines and one British SSN are participating; for the British commander this is a Perisher Special giving him the opportunity to try out an attack on a sophisticated carrier battle group.

    Svalbard Oil Battleset The discovery of the third largest oil and gas reserves on the planet near the Svalbard Islands led to a dispute with Russia, who has mining rights and maintains settlements on Spitsbergen, claiming that the islands belong to the chain of islands of Franz Josef Land. Svalbard Oil 2: NATO Strikes Back The attempt of the Royal Norwegian Navy to settle the dispute over the Svalbard Islands with rather limited resources was a failure, though the two Norwegian submarines managed to sink two warships before being sunk themselves. NATO reaction is quick, aggressive and resourceful: A British CVBG, a Dutch PHIBRON and a German SAG are sailing towards the Svalbards, supported by a number of nuclear and diesel attack submarines. The message is evident: Europe wants to show it can deal with the crisis without the help of the policeman from across the Atlantic, though there are some U.S. units and aircraft in the area ready to assist. But the Russian resolve will soon become apparent. Russia has every intention to keep her occupied new territories as well as the vast oil and gas reserves discovered there and has mobilized everything still available in her military inventory to do so.

    The End of the Cold War Something went entirely wrong, and it happened so fast that nobody could recall immediately when and where it started. The Soviets were under the impression that NATO was preparing for an attack on the motherland and decreed that securing Iceland for a prolonged war was vital to victory; thus they mobilized each operational vessel in the Northern Fleet and managed to occupy the Faroes as a prelude. NATO then, too, scrambled every available asset in the North Atlantic, and when the first shot (a nuclear-tipped torpedo) was fired and sank a Dutch frigate, all hell broke loose.

  8. The 59th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Yom Hadin: Judgment Day With the fall of the "Soviet Union" and the collapse of the Warsaw Pact, the world has become an even more dangerous place. Third World countries with hard currency are able to purchase many weapons previously unattainable from the arms-rich and cash-poor CIS. Such is the case with Libya. Isolated from the world in early 1992 due to its links with international terrorism, the West expected that Libya would halt its support for terrorism. Nothing could be further from the truth. After implication in several large truck bombings across Europe and overt threats of retaliation from Israel, Libya played its trump card. October 6th, 1993, known to Jews as the holiday of Yom Kippur, will now have a new and chilling significance. During celebration activities in the morning, a huge explosion rocks Tel Aviv. Thousands die as the explosives disseminate the persistent nerve agent VX across a large part of the city. Through sensitive intelligence sources and methods, the MOSSAD (Israel's Intelligence service) is able to track the plotters support directly back to Libya. An emergency session of the Knesset releases the IDF (Israeli Defense Force) to take whatever action they deem necessary to "secure the safety of the Israeli people and the Jewish State." The IDF, demonstrating unusual reserve, does not assemble and use the devices they deny possessing. Rather, they set in motion their most elite forces to execute operation "Judgment Day."

  9. Victory granted after only 30 mins of play.
  10. Understandable. The server is up 24/7 so just specify a time when you want a game and someone will likely make themselves available for a match. (Pre-arranged games are the norm as there aren't enough players who just hang around the server.) A quick introductory scenario only takes about 20 mins from beginning to end. See you at Xmas, if not sooner.
  11. Congratulations on your new scenario. Interested in a game of ANW MP, sometime?
  12. Jeronimo Chiecchio (a.k.a. Angle of Attack) and I were looking for a quick gaeme so we selected Plug the Dike, made with the community's favourite database, the PlayersDB. The success of the Reformed Russian Republic in Norway increased the importance of supply interdiction in the Baltic Sea. The logistical requirements of the R3 army were enormous. Tons of supplies attempted to make transit of the shallow waters between Denmark and Norway. The threat to these small convoys was limited in scope. Because of the success of R3 airfield strikes, the NATO aircraft that remained had adopted a defensive posture, awaiting reinforcements. The few offensive missions that NATO launched were primarily offensive counter-air and aimed at the R3 air bases. Convoys of five to seven ships were just too far down the list to merit much air attention. The small missile boats of Norway, Sweden, Denmark, and Germany performed in the opening days of the war exactly as had been anticipated. They ducked out of hiding, acquired targets for their Harpoons and Otomats, launched their attacks, and died. R3 commanders used this opportunity to try and move small quantities of sensitive materials back to research installations in the East. Only submarines remain to oppose them. Quiet and small, if employed correctly, they are very hard to detect. The departure of the front-line R3 ASW units to the front as escorts for the R3 Carrier Battle Groups increased their effectiveness. Plugging the choke points out of the Denmark Sea provides the best opportunity to stop the transit of materials in this area. I was in command of the submarines ordered to stop the convoy. I was able to identify the Pauk and Stenka corvettes fairly quickly, but I could not decide which of the merchant vessels were Russian and which were innocent neutrals. Finally, I decided that the ones that the escorts appeared to be screening must be the targets I had been sent after. The sonar on the corvettes was quite limited so I was able to close the distance. I did not want to over-play my hand, either. The screening effort was well done, but had just a bit too large a gap in between ships. However, they were far enough in front of the merchants that meant I would be unable to run in behind them without revealing myself. At one point, I had one of my subs go to a dead stop to sit on the bottom next to a shipwreck so that the convoy could pass by me. After the majority of the screen had missed me, the targets came into range. SS Tumerlen fired 3 torpedoes at each of the targets and one at one of the Stenka escorts. SS Ula also fired on another Stenka. The 55kt Tp 612 torps easily caught and sank both merchantmen. Unfortunately, AoA was quick to react and the torpedoes he fired back in my direction caught both the Ula and the Tumerlen desperately trying to evade. Thus, the game ended in a draw. Thanks to AoA for a fun match and for the use of his server. Anyone looking for an MP game can drop a line here or look for us on HarpGamer pHp chat room or the HG mIRC chat room.
  13. One last suggestion. As you move to the ANW tutorials, I strongly recommend that you install the PlayersDB library and run the Tutorials with it instead. The tutorials that come with the game are in poor condition and you will likely be frustrated when you try to follow the instructions and cannot get the results described. Complete Harpoon ANW Library and then select the PlayersDB from the Database Manager tab.
  14. That's certainly the philosophy most Harpoon players share. IMO, some of the best MP games are where we get in character with the sides we are commanding and act as if we are truly representing our respective countries with our banter. We want a good, fun, and, hopefully, tough game regardless if we win, lose, or draw. You are in a good to position to find what you like. Many of the HC scenarios have been re-made for compatibility with ANW. Therefore, you can play one version for each version of the game and decide where your tastes lie. For example, several of the WestPac scenarios in HCE are also available in ANW. You can check them out at your leisure. http://www.ughhq.com/Harpoon/ANWscenlist.htm
  15. Welcome aboard to the world of Harpoon. I play both HCE and ANW versions. Hopefully, you (or your friend) will soon give us an MP battle in ANW. You can find some additional tactical articles at: http://www.harpoonpages.com/archives.htm Good luck to you and let me know if you want to try out the head-to-head for ANW.
  16. The 58th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Homecoming Coincidental with their attacks on Orland and Bergen, the Romanov's will also attempt to close the Suez and Panama Canals, and they will succeed. This will follow the successful decoying of substantial U.S. forces into the Pacific. (Alaska was, after all, unfairly traded away in 1867 for $7 million dollars; it was time for it to re-join a re-born Empire!) The immediate consequence will be the temporary isolation of the remaining forces in the Atlantic and the Mediterranean. Their greater than expected success in the Norwegian Sea will present them with an unprecedented opportunity, the outright destruction of an entire U.S. carrier group, at relatively no cost. They will choose not to, but what if they had? The Romanov's will, in fact, opt to pursue their original plan. First, they will aggressively target all European-bound merchants. Second, they will occupy the Faeroes, and prepare for a January invasion of Iceland. If the original Romanov Strategy will be judged brilliant for its operational boldness, it will still be flawed by a tactical rigidity that will characterize its execution and that has characterized Russian arms for centuries! (Their most recent excuse for this shortcoming has been Scientific Socialism. Oh, well.) Russian submarines and Backfires will pretty much have their own way in the Atlantic in the two days following the fall of Bergen. The subs will then turn northward, to rendezvous with a re-supply group entering the Norwegian Sea. But what if they had decided, instead, to concentrate on the destruction of the Eisenhower? This scenario is designed to help you answer that question! The Restored Romanov Empire Civil War in the old Soviet Republics culminated in the restoration of the Romanov family to the Russian Throne in 1996 (the so-called Rightful Restoration). The Romanov's have gained ascendancy over their Social Fundamentalist adversaries. The European Union, originally neutral, has committed itself reluctantly to the Fundamentalist cause. The causes of the civil war and eventual restoration lay in long suppressed ethnic tensions, the food and fuel riots of '94 and '95, and the annexation of the Crimea by the Russian Republic. Not surprisingly, the majority of Russians turned to the only symbol of stability and dignity that seemed even remotely credible... not only to the "man in the street," but to the demoralized Military as well. Seemingly overnight, a new sense of purpose revitalized the spirit and purpose of the great Slavic people. Mother Russia would have her dignity -- and her Empire -- back.

  18. The term 're-building' is a bit mis-leading. A user cannot simply take an old scenario from the original GIUK battleset and simply save it under the new EC2003 GIUK battleset. One fellow tried this and ran afoul of significant problems. The only way to have the scenarios playable with HCE is to re-make them. That means starting anew and inserting all the bases, units, ViConds, Orders,... And, from how I read the original message in this thread, I'm pretty certain that was not the intent originally proposed by dannytoro.
  19. You´re wrong Herman.... Rebuilding them in EC2003 is still an option.... Pretty sure that I'm not. He's asking about making DB changes. I think that you are suggesting that the old HC 97 scenarios be re-made / re-written for compatibility with EC2003. That would be something totally different from the editing of original scenarios dannytoro initially proposed (especially since EC 2003 isn't even available for his HC 97 version).
  20. A platform editor was not available until Harpoon Classic Gold was released. There is no way to edit the old HC battlesets. The only ones that can be changed are the EC2000 battlesets that were converted to EC2003 battlesets. You are simply out of luck with the older battlesets. If you are really interested in DB changes, get the latest version and change it to your heart's content.
  21. There appears to be a problem with the image for the EF-18A/B Hornet. A helo appears.
  22. SPOILER ALERT * * * * * * Just finished this most excellent scenario. I did encounter something odd. I was given MinVic right near the beginning of the scenario with 3:23:13 to go after I destroyed 3 subs (mines). I had lost 1 frigate at the time. I can't believe that this is correct. Was it intentional? Thanks for sharing it.
  23. AAR: Matchplay #4 - Battle of Britain II [spoiler Alert] - Dutch A Harpoon 3 scenario By Freek Schepers The purpose of this scenario is to investigate war between pretty much the entire military forces of two modern countries. Holland has moved ground forces into Belgium and defeated French attempts to interfere. The Charles de Gaulle has been sunk and the French air force is licking its wounds. The UN has authorised all members to take steps to reverse this situation and the UK has taken up the call of duty. SITUATION The Campaign against Belgium and France has concluded. Flanders has rejoined the Kingdom. A daring raid against Denmark has resulted in the liberation of 30 Danish F-16s previously sold to Netherlands. Delivery was withheld due to the war. The Queen has re-instated the "Militaire Willemsorde" and more Willemsorde's have been awarded for this one raid than in all of WW2. Losses have been severe, but Belgian and Danish F-16s, now operational in the KLu, have made up for combat losses. All airbases except Florennes are operational. AMRAAM and Patriot Missiles are still scarce. The Navy has been hard hit and its surviving Frigates are short of SAMs. The Security Council has issued a resolution urging all UN members to force the Netherlands to relinquish Belgian territory. Germany is thought to remain on the sidelines due to the stranglehold we have on the Ruhr through the ports of Rotterdam and Antwerp. The UK, however, has mobilised its forces and has issued an ultimatum requiring unconditional Dutch compliance with the UN resolution within the next 24 hours. Jonkheer van Hoorn was the S-4 officer for the wing of F-16 Falcons based at Volkel. As such, he was responsible for providing and coordinating supply and maintenance. He was just finishing up his part of the briefing to the pilots gathered around the theatre. “As you know, our operations against the French have severely depleted our supplies of the AIM-120 AMRAAM. The Brits are coming into this war and they have their bunkers full of the damned things. Now, I’ve managed to find a few more in, of all places, the bunkers of the Belgians that the army has overrun! So, if you fire off your AMRAAM, divert to the airfields at Kleine Brogel and Florennes. It’s easier for you to go to the missiles than for them to come to us. However, if you use them up the way ‘Piss’ does, then there’s no hope for you or any of us and you’ll end up throwing rocks at the Tommies when they come over the coast.” This brought a wave of laughter from the assigned pilots as the briefing broke up. Lt. Jeroen (pronounced ‘urine’) “Piss” Girerd had acquired his nickname during combat with the French. His Falcon had stumbled upon a French E-3F Sentry. In his excitement at such a prize, he had pickled off all six of his AIM-9M Sidewinders when he could just as easily have shot down the lumbering plane with his internal Vulcan cannon. Except for the scathing rebuke he received from his squadron commander, “Piss” was pleased with himself over his first combat experience. He was more than happy to bear his new nickname so long as no one ever found out about the little ‘accident’ he had when his plane was ambushed by a Mirage over Belgium. His flight suit had dried by the time the mission was over. Reports were coming in from all around the UK. Many aircraft were seen to be launching and the Royal Navy was planning to sortie. SSK Walrus detected multiple ESM contacts from her periscope mast in the direction of Liverpool and moved to investigate while SSK Dolfijn was ordered to block the channel near the Pas de Calais. Since the Netherlands did not operate any dedicated Airborne Early Warning [AEW] aircraft, a P-3 Orion from Valkenburg and two helos from de Kooy were launched to provide surveillance and a modicum of early warning. Expecting a sortie from the Royal Navy, frigates van Spejik, van Galen, and van Heemskirck moved south-westwards to intercept. They kept close to the Dutch shore in order to be protected by the SAM umbrella provided by the Zeven Provincien and land-based Patriot batteries. More information was coming in from the submarines. One vessel was confirmed as DDG Exeter. The jamming environment was fierce so FFG Zeven de Provincien was ordered to radiate her radar systems. The picture cleared up quickly, but not quickly enough. An Orion had moved in to try and pin-point the RN ships apparently departing Liverpool. Only ESM bearing-only [bOL] contacts were detected and more precise data would help SSK Walrus to intercept them. She promptly ate a missile just off the coast. A second Orion crew noted that a radio transmission from her was interrupted in mid-sentence and quickly surmised the fate of the crew. They would not venture as close as their fallen brethren. Sky Flash met AMRAAM for the first time that day, high over the skies of the English Channel. A pair of Falcons intercepted a Tornado contact. After loosing a pair of AMRAAM, the Falcons turned and fled on afterburner. The Tornado, to her credit, managed to return fire with a pair of Sky Flash Super TEMP, but these dropped into the sea after losing guidance when the Tornado was destroyed by the AMRAAM. Two more Falcons repeated the performance on another unsuspecting Tornado. That was the most common story of the day. When AMRAAM met Sky Flash, the Falcons usually walked away from the scuffle. And then Typhoon radar was detected! At about the same time a Lynx helo providing AEW support exploded in mid-air! Surprise... Both Falcon flights went to afterburner to close the distance and managed to loose four AMRAAM. They got her, but lost three of their own from return fire. Typhoons are Scary! Another was detected loitering over the Mid-lands. It was decided to postpone the ground missions until aerial superiority could be achieved. Even one Typhoon was very bad news for lightly armed strikers. The Falcon Combat Air Patrols [CAP] re-grouped just off the Dutch coast. Rather than venturing over English territory, they would fight under their own radar coverage. The English obligingly cooperated. Soon, many flights of Tornado GR.4 were detected at low altitude. They were expertly covered by their Tornado ADV [Air Defence Variant] cousins. KLU high command had decided that each pilot would engage “according to his ability”. It was planned that the AMRAAM-armed Falcons would concentrate on their equally deadly counterparts while the planes armed only with short-ranged AIM-9M Sidewinders would close on the enemy strikers. The arrangement worked exceptionally well and the skies were soon cleared of the Tornadoes. As everyone was congratulating themselves on their good fortune and expertise, the second wave appeared and they blanched. They had already expended a considerable number of AAMs [Air-to-Air Missiles] in repelling the first wave. Now, low on weapons, they were facing a wave as large as the first. The second wave was even more dangerous than the first for it contained the more advanced Tornado F.3. This version was capable of carrying the same AIM-120 AMRAAM carried by the Dutch. Orders went out to quickly re-arm the bomb-laden Falcons with AMRAAM. Wing S-4 van Hoorn protested, but was mollified when the Wing Commander asked him if he would prefer the enemy to destroy them on the ground. Again, the waves of English strikers were well timed with their escorts. The escorts engaged the Dutch interceptors at the cost of their own lives. However, they enabled the Tornadoes to reach their launch points and release their ordnance. A storm of Sea Eagle AShM [Anti-Ship Missiles] dropped off their pylons enroute to the few surviving frigates of Her Royal Majesty’s Naval Ships. Although the majority of them were eventually intercepted by a combination of Sidewinder missiles and Sea Sparrow from the ships, one leaker got through and slammed into frigate van Galen. Like in a lottery, you only need one ticket to win. Today, the number for the men of the van Galen would finally be up. The impact was directly over the ship’s torpedo magazine for its Lynx anti-submarine helicopter. The resulting sympathetic explosion left very few survivors. The furball over the North Sea consumed missiles, planes, and men at a prodigious rate. The Klu was holding their own, but they were using up every missile they carried in order to do so. Finally, something had to give. After receiving appalling losses to its strike formations, the controllers aboard the E-3D Sentries circling over the British mid-lands decided that they could not complete their mission and withdrew. In the test of men and nations, they had lost their nerve. Not until many years later would they learn just how close they came to victory for every single missile aboard Dutch planes and ships had been expended. A window of vulnerability existed, but the British failed to take advantage of it. They would later live to regret it. Meanwhile, in the English Channel, SSK Walrus was caught with her periscope up just a little too long. An English Lynx ASW helo saw the feathery wake and closed before dropping its Stingray torpedo on her. The Walrus sent one final report before the torpedo struck. SSK Dolfijn would avenge her. The carrier task force sailed up the Channel and right into the waiting arms of the Dolfijn. By positioning herself directly on their Path of Intended Movement [PIM], she simply sat and awaited her prey. Vengeance would be swift in coming. Once the task force drew near, she launched three Mk48 torpedoes at the carrier and another at the nearest escort. With her cloak of invisibility removed, she immediately increased speed to full and ran directly at the formation while her husky torpedo men raced to re-load. Sonar immediately called out, “Transient! Torpedo in the water! Bearing 269.” Evidently, the frigate had detected the attack and launched her own fish back down the bearing of contact towards the sub. It was a race between the ‘steel eels’. The Mk 48 caught the frigate first and snapped her keel with 600lb of high explosive. Although the crew of the Dolfijn heard the explosion through the hull, they had problems of their own. The Stingray had locked onto them and was in continuous-ping mode. It was time for their ‘last-best move’. The skipper ordered white noise countermeasures dropped and hugged the bottom while everyone kept their fingers crossed. Another explosion was heard, but everyone realized that you had to be alive to hear it. The torpedo must have detonated on the sea floor. Not willing to look a gift horse in the mouth, the Dolfijn immediately sent out a second volley of lethal Mk 48 torpedoes even before their first torpedoes had arrived at the carrier. Every ship in the formation received a present from the men of Dolfijn. The torpedoes arrived at the carrier and detonated nearly simultaneously and ripped gigantic holes in her hull. She would eventually turn turtle and take 300 of her crew with her after two hours of damage control efforts. The second round of Mk 48s was just as lethal and gutted the entire formation. Three air-defence destroyers and another frigate were left sinking. Only one stubborn frigate remained. However, this frigate was cagy and refused to approach the little submarine. Instead, he coordinated the approach of several Nimrod ASW aircraft. A second Stingray torpedo was soon in the water. Out of torpedoes and out of luck the Stingray did not miss and the crew of the Dolfijn soon joined their British adversaries on the floor of the Channel Over the Kent coast, the wave of retaliation was quickly closing on English airbases at Cottishall, Waddington, Wattingham, Marham, Cottismore, and Wittering. With most the air defenders floating in the Channel, only a few Harrier rose in futile defence. Unlike their Battle of Britain predecessors, the Harriers were unable to exact any meaningful price from the Falcon strikers before being torn from the air with AMRAAM. The Dutch survivors quickly dropped their Mk 84 2000lb bombs onto the hangars and crushed them atop the defenders along with any hopes the British had of launching future defences. As they touched down back at their bases, the Queen announced that a message had been received from 10 Downing Street. It acknowledged that the affair between the Netherlands, Belgium, and France was not a concern for the United Kingdom. For now, the war was over. Thanks for a really fun and challenging scenario.

  24. The 55th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Devil May Care SilentHunter is the 25th new author to release a Harpoon scenario for everyone's enjoyment. Many thanks for creating and sharing it. When Britain faces its greatest peril, only one man can save the day. He's going to need a little help, though. This scenario recreates, in ANW form, the climax of the James Bond novel 'Devil May Care'. An evil genius intends to destroy Volgograd and start a nuclear war that will wipe out Britain. Only the RAF can stop him... Author: SilentHunterUK With over 330,000 PlayersDB scenarios downloaded in the last 12 months alone, the PlayersDB has proven itself the unequivocal players' favourite.
