On Ed Ladner's web page (I think) there are old links to "discussion" articles on HC weapons characteristics, tactics, theory, etc.

 

I think that it would be a great boast to HCCE to see more like them, relevent and updated, like how to set victory conditions, how to set up the most basic scenario, how to plan a coordinated strike, how to take down a SA-10 battery, how to take out a CVBG, etc.

 

What do you think you old salts?

 

Thanks,

Great suggestion, Pete. These concepts, once developed, could become "Stickies" on the forum. This section is best used for "tactics" and the Scenario Design section for "scenario work". I see Herman has stepped up to help you with the scenario aspect. You guys should post your conclusions there. (I'll add quips if need be). And as far as tactics goes, is there a topic that you would like to start with ?

Brad,

 

The first perhaps would be power projection. It could include planning and conducting strikes (to include Time On Target) to eliminate SAM threats. Planning and conducting in-air refueling. Weaponeering. Use of Electronic Warfare Assets.

 

A second could be about the lesser known facets of HCCE. for example, what exactly do the "keyhole" satellite reports represent and does the player have any influence over them?

 

How to effectively utilize submarine (diesel-electric and SSN) and ASW, ((sonar bouey(sp) assets, helicopter-borne sonar dipping, ASW torpedoes, etc) in HCCE.

 

How about an introduction to non-US technology. A package of A-6E and F/A-18E, led by an EA-6B can make pretty quick work of an air defense system, but how about the Indian Navy, PLAN, or even still the Russians?

 

How about a piece that outlines basic use of the scenario editor to include the capabilities of the new land units, and how they interact with each other and the more traditional HC units.

 

i'm sure this is just a start.

 

I'm willing to participate to the extent that it would be benficial.

 

Thanks for the interest.

 

Pete
