Black Sea 2
This is a (properly uploaded) adaptation of Don's "Black Sea 1", with his permission. Victory conditions and RED OOB are unchanged. BLUE loses all the F-35's, and gains 8 aircraft, 2 tankers, and the TGC Anadolu, with a motley air wing of helicopters and drones. Unfortunately, modern Turkish drones are unavailable in this database. Be careful, the other guy has better airplanes.

Bullies Bumping Bellies- Turkey vs Egypt 2020
In the summer of 2020, the situation in eastern Libya deteriorates to the point where Egypt and Turkey feel they have to get involved. This explores what happens next. This scenario is designed primarily to be played from the Blue (Egypt) side, and is quite challenging, even for experienced players. Also can be played from Red (Turkey) quite good for beginning or intermediate players. Created with HCSE 2015.027, and playable on 2015.027 or later, so it'll be available to folks with the older version of the game. Enjoy. Duck.

A current affair. Interdict a convoy of Iranian gasoline tankers, or defend it. For RED or BLUE, probably more challenging from the RED side. Some restrictions apply.

Headbutt #3
The Headbutts
This is series of three HCE scenarios, intended primarily for beginning and intermediate HCE players. They are small, and playable from RED or BLUE in each case. I hope that these will serve as a training tool for beginners, and an overview of the relative capabilities of American, French, Russian, and British carrier groups around 2014 or so for more advanced players. "Historical" accuracy is a goal, so Tomcats, Backfires, Vikings, etc. are absent in this collection. A guide to the included aircraft and weapons derived from the HCDB 101213 database, giving weapon speeds, ESM details, etc. is included with each scenario. Please use this database as older ones will cause inaccurate play balance.
This package will be followed in time with much more difficult scenarios playable by one side only.
Butt1 USA vs Russia, South Africa. Easy (BLUE) Difficult (RED)
Butt2 France vs Russia, South Africa, Intermediate (BLUE) Intermediate (RED)
Butt3 UK and Denmark vs Russia, GIUK, Intermediate (BLUE) Intermediate (RED) and somewhat larger.
as always I look forward to your comments.
Good Hunting!
