January 23, 201115 yr File Name: Battle of Latakia File Submitter: CV32 File Submitted: 23 Jan 2011 File Updated: 23 Jan 2011 File Category: Middle East DB Used: HCCW-110114 Authors: Brad Leyte Battleset-Middle East: .scv - CDB - CDB Battle of Latakia A Harpoon Commander's Edition (HCE) scenario for the Middle East Battleset and the HCE Cold War (HCCW) Database. This scenario is designed for play by the BLUE side. The Battle of Latakia was a small naval battle fought on 7 October 1973, during the Yom Kippur War. It was the first naval engagement to involve an exchange of anti-ship surface to surface missiles and in which electronic warfare played a principal role. The Syrians were equipped with Soviet supplied Project 183 Komar and Project 205 Osa class missile boats armed with the P-15 Termit (NATO SS-N-2 Styx), a weapon that had already stung Israel almost exactly six years earlier, with the loss of the destroyer INS Eilat on 20 October 1967. The Styx had twice the range of the Israeli Gabriel, and a much larger warhead. To meet the threat, the Israelis would need every ounce of guile, wit and and courage that they could muster.

I don't know if GE vers 2010.019 was a help (no red window open though) but we did get through with three losses and five enemy sunk. see AAR separately. I did have a piece of good luck though... Don

Don Thanks very much, Don, for taking the time to produce an AAR. That is always appreciated. As for the challenge, I'm still waiting for someone to match the accomplishments of Captain Michael Barkai (Yomi) and his men.

Don Thanks very much, Don, for taking the time to produce an AAR. That is always appreciated. As for the challenge, I'm still waiting for someone to match the accomplishments of Captain Michael Barkai (Yomi) and his men. I must admit I've played this a few times since my first 'win' and always lost. The difference is that the first time around I was lucky to start just after midnight, and came across a merchantman in the right spot to hide in his shadow. I got the work done before daylight and was able to sneak in often to within gunnery range (didn't need to light up my radar for missile guidance) for quick kills. Yes the actual historic situation was a real accomplishment, as "Harpoon" illustrates. Don

Just unzip into your main HCE directory to replace the 'commondb.res' file. See the FAQ for more details on that process.
