Tony, where can one get these updates. The newest version on the Matrix Site is 2008.024

Thank you for noticing this. I had made the first scenarios before 82 versions of Swiftsure and Valiants were added. I have corrected those scenarios. In the newer ones, I had added the later arriving subs in their 1982 versions, but as I had not noticed this change, the earlier arriving subs remained in the 98 versions. I have corrected this also. Thanks to CV32 for updating HCDA database. Because of that, I have add the missing ship (Comodoro Py) to the 82 and 77 Invasion scenarios. All scenarios and the battleset should be correct now.

My apologies to all. I have added start speeds to all my files, rather than just have the AI start ships moving at 1 second. I hope this makes these more fun for everyone.

Its supposed to start moving (on the surface, don't know why but thats what it did) at 1 sec. I will check it.

I had to change the borders to get Southern Thule on the map for the 1977 scenario. Also I moved the western border slightly as Rio Gallegos kept disappearing. Not sure I moved it far enough though. (fixed with update, sorry I hadn't noticed this)

Remaining scenarios and battleset uploaded

I have always set AI forces moving at 1 sec. Then player forces don't move until you order them. Well thats part of the real history -- modern nuclear sub vs. WW2 cruiser and 2 escorts with 2nd rate helos. Rather one sided and one of the reasons the Arg navy went to port after Gen Belgrano sank. (The other being the engine problem on 25 de Mayo) I played the test as blue, totally ignoring the subs, trying to get Black Buck to work. Eventually the Arg escort found Conqueror but even without any action, they could damage her but not sink her. TF South went into action with basically no AEW. Postwar, the UK deployed those AEW Sea Kings to correct this problem. Arg took advantage of this by using Learjet Decoys to draw off UK CAP before Super E. Exocet attacks. The same technique works against the AI. The main advantage the UK had in the air war was the longer range of its newer Sidewinders. This makes air to air combat rather onesided so long as the Harriers are defending the fleet, which again was historical. Thank you for the input. I hope you enjoy the rest of the scenarios. They probably won't be as good games as some of the hypothetical scenarios, but hopefully they will be of historical interest.

Default is 4 days, I thought, or it least it was in Harpoon Classic. And 4 days works. Haven't done HCE long and didn't think to double check.

Nope. Actually managing the tankers is quite a challange, and I can't actually pull off the raid while managing more important stuff. And the amount of damage done is nominal, certainly compared to the press it received. So in a larger scenario, you probably would not bother. But I am into the history, and I wanted to include this for interest. Same for the other two scenarios -- they are small and rather 1 sided, but the history is interesting.

Wow, that was fast work! Thanks! I have one more request for the database, ARA Comodoro Py (D-27), which was part of 25 de Mayo escort in the initial invasion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Perkins_(DD-877)

Thank you CV32. I have one more request for the database, ARA Comodoro Py (D-27), which was part of 25 de Mayo escort in the initial invasion. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Perkins_(DD-877) 2 more scenarios uploaded. Invasion (missing Comodoro Py) Black Buck I forsee 5 more, then I'll try to put them all together as an historical battleset: Approach (my original test scenario finished and with more historic deployments) Pebble Island San Carlos Final Assault Rematch maybe Prequel (Invasion with the 1977 flotilla) http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2005/jun/01/argentina.military These larger ones won't come so quick.
