broncepulido Posted December 4, 2014 Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 File Name: Harpoon 3 Battles of the Third World War, May 1991. File Submitter: broncepulido File Submitted: 05 Dec 2014 File Category: GIUK Harpoon 3 Battles of the Third World War, May 1991. A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the EC2003 Battle for GIUK Gap Battleset and the HCDB-140909 1980-2015 era Platform Database. Image: Soviet CVH Baku circa 1988. US Navy photo, from Wikipedia Commons. This scenario is designed to be played from the Blue/Allied side or from the Red/Soviet side. You should play a few times first the Blue side to avoid spoilers, and only later play the Red side. A North Atlantic-GIUK scenario inspired by some old scenario booklets of the Harpoon 3 series of the late 1980s edited by GDW, good for testing generic tactics and weapons. Actually is a mix-up of individual sea-operations centred scenarios as only the Computer Harpoon can provide. And reflecting all the knowledge acquired the last years in some matters, as about Soviet/Russian platforms, OOBs and Soviet/Russian carrier air wings composition. The scenario is settled at the start of the conventional WWIII as was forecasted in the North Atlantic for about May 1991 in some of the GDW edited booklets, the opening movements and contacts, and the first days of open combat.

broncepulido Posted December 4, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2014 A big scenario started some years ago. Only now can I finish it, with the new memory capabilities of Harpoon HCE/HUCE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncepulido Posted December 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2014 7 December 2014 modification: - Added missing Formation Air Patrols in Valkenburg and Nordholz. - Added some few missing Soviet aircrafts in Kaliningrad (some one sixth of the VMF and PVO-Strany fast jet types historically based at Kaliningrad in the time period).

broncepulido Posted December 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2014 8 December 2014 modification: - At last as intended Keflavik-based 57th FIS F-15C are represented by F-15A (to prevent ahistorical use of AIM-120 AMRAAM). Was my original idea, but I lost his trail somewhere and placed erroneously F-15A/C capable to use AIM-120 AMRAAM. Very detailed data about 57th Fighter-Interceptor Squadron "The Black Knights of Keflavik" here: http://www.verslo.is/baldur/Blackknigths.htm - Replaced absurd MIG-29A SIOP loadouts and patrols with correct Intercept loadouts and patrols. - Also added one almost irrelevant waypoint to Soviet surface group YNR to reduce risk to go aground.

broncepulido Posted April 12, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2015 The Third World War referenced on this scenario is not any future war, the scenario is build in relation to an alternate history hypothetical war, never fought but very studied and analysed with detail, and depicted in this Wikipedia entry: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_III Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
