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. 

Can the EU repel a US invasion of Greenland? Let's see.

Coral Sea 2025
Stop the Chinese advance with a scratch team. The title is "Coral Sea", however this may play out more like ADBA in February of 1942, which was a disaster for the Allies. Your results may vary. Uses Build 2023.11 or newer. Duck.

The Heart of the Problem, Part 3
It is October 2022 and the Chinese have invaded Taiwan. The US is on the way to help. This might prove difficult. A larger and challenging scenario that explores the difficulty of reinforcing Taiwan. OOB and situation is pretty close to what's in the theater today. Uses GE ver. 2022.11. Duck.

Nicobar Waltz
        China and India are at war. If the Indians can defend the Andaman and Nicobar islands they can cut off the supply of oil and gas to China. The Chinese have knocked the US out of the fight and are determined to take them. This is intended for show what it would be like for a 2nd world country to take on China these days, and is intended for intermediate to advanced players. Duck.

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.

Oscar the Grouch Sequel to "Eviction Notice". You have a stinky smoking disgrace of an antiquated carrier to defend the Motherland. And some nice surprises. BLUE only, for GE 2015.026 and later. This celebrates Brad's new HCDB2, thanks to all for all the hard work.

Scenario for the NACV Battleset, Harpoon Version 2015.26 or later required. Defend Iceland from attack (again, but with a twist). BLUE only. Duck.

In 2017, the continuing conflict in the South China Sea boils over. Japan and the USA will stand aside as Australia, Singapore, Thailand, Malaysia, and an already beaten Vietnam try to take the SCS back from China. Happy Birthday, Tony!

A look at reduced American naval capability in the future.Take back Iceland with a scratch team.

Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence. can Iran really close the Straits of Hormuz? Even if the US is not involved?

PRC tries a "Pearl Harbor" attack. Let's see how scary the Chinese really are. RED only, you are PRC, you'll have a carrier plus DF-21's.. Duck.

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!

Here's a smaller scenario, suitable for beginners, concerning an Indian attempt to interdict a Chinese convoy. Smiling Buddha was the name for the first Indian nuclear test, now they have joined the NP club...Let's blow the dust off the Sea Harrier one more time..

By request, a modified "Breakout", with a saner starting position and more friendly assets. Upgraded to HCBD100208, with a new obstacle (guess what!). 3 days added to time. Sorry for my lousy playtesting. Duck.

Russia (red) vs Chile, Argentina and Brazil. BLUE only. A carrier battle, or not. This scenario explores the ability of 2nd world navies against 1st world opponents. RED version to follow. Updated to include torpedo speeds in notes only, scenario is unchanged.
