pmaidhof Posted December 21, 2006 Report Share Posted December 21, 2006 This was done solo on the floor (I know the title is using the CIC Plotter, but there is more coming), with three minitures (only one matching an actual participant, an O.H. Perry FFG) and the rest being carboard chits. This run through began much in line with history as Joshan (Combattante II) responded to being warned away from the Sirri GOPLAT by firing harpoons, in this case 4, at the US SAG. Simpson (FFG-56) immediately detected three of the four inbound missiles and things went downhill from there. At medium range, Simpson fired two SM1MR - both missed. At short range, two SM1MR's accounted for one of the harpoons. At very short range Simpsons 76mm/62 fired but missed, the CIWS fired but missed as well. Chaff seduced one of the harpoons away, but rolled to lock onto Wainwright (CG-28) trailing behind Simpson. Wainwright launched two SM2ER's and downed the leaker. Meanwhile Simpson took two harpoons, who in turn rolled two crippled results - sinking the frigate. While this was happening an SH-60B detected Iranian surface ships headed toward the Sirri GOPLAT. Air,in the form of 2x A-6E's with LBG's, was called for while Bagley (FF-1069) launched two two Harpoons that annhiliated Joshan. The A-6E's struck the helo-detected Sahalan with two of three 500kg LBG's, quickly sinking her. While the US met its objective of neutralizing the GOPLAT with 20min of NGF, the scenario had been lost to the Iranians by simply hitting a US ship, let alone sinking one.

pmaidhof Posted August 14, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2007 Just Shipwreck, no plotter this time. Had 4x F/A-18C with 4x AIM-120 and 2x AIM-9M each detect and jump 4x MiG-29 with 4x AA-10 and 2x AA-11, which unfortunately for them did not detect the hornets. Each hornet loosed an AIM-120 and got three hits. The solitary MiG-29 broke for home. This small scenario played in about 10-15 minutes this evening.

Saladin Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I've been looking at the Persian Gulf forces and the OHP frigates don't belong there - particularly if being used as gunboats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmaidhof Posted February 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 I've been looking at the Persian Gulf forces and the OHP frigates don't belong there - particularly if being used as gunboats. Hi Saladin, The couple of small trials was anticipation of doing the Operation Praying Mantis scenario. It was late 80's and OHP's were there. It, like this thread, was some time ago so, check to the third page of the CPX/MBX for the AAR. Your open statement on Perry's as gunboats, agreed not what they were designed for, but please expound. Welcome aboard, Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
