June 5, 200620 yr MATCHPLAY & OIL ON THE FIRE Here are the first two PlayersDB scenarios for the upcoming Harpoon3: Advanced Naval Warfare simulator. The game hasn't been released, yet, but Freek Schepers has been busily testing the Beta version and feels that these two scenarios are ready to go in case there are any other Beta-testers out there who are bored with testing the same old scenarios and would like to try some new material. MATCHPLAY Terrorist attacks on the Belgium Royal family have left the Dutch Crown Prince next in line to the throne of Belgium. Popular mourning and an uprising has quickly resulted into civil war between the French-speaking Walloons in southern Belgium and the Dutch-speaking Flemish in northern Belgium. Holland has quickly moved ground forces into Belgium to assert its claim to the throne, while France has tried unsuccessfully to mobilise the UN. But as the Israelis showed in 1967, the UN cannot operate at the pace of modern warfare... OIL ON THE FIRE It started when the Swedish Euro Vote failed the second time. Denmark followed. Finland pledged to stay out of NATO. Norway left NATO, the EU grew eastward and crumbled northward. Having received much praise for their social and peaceful policies, the Dutch and Norwegian economies have floated for years on bubbles of gas and oil, North Sea Oil. Nicely divided up by treaty when oil was plentiful, the Norwegian and Dutch oil companies, StatOil and Shell, respectively, co-operated to make a killing. However, the traditional fields ran out at a time of high oil prices. Shell and StatOil discovered a rich new field right underneath the demarcation line between both countries' claims. An ownership fight ensued. The Dutch and Norwegian governments talked and talked until the Dutch elections. The Netherlands elected radicals that would look after their future even at the cost of others. Talk soon stopped and ships sailed with orders "to send a message". Author: Freek Schepers, Herman Hum These scenarios require the PlayersDB [MatchPlay] and PlayersDB [Oil on the Fire], respectively, that have been included in their respective *.zip files.

June 6, 200620 yr Author Battle of Britain II Here’s one more PlayersDB scenario for the upcoming Harpoon3: Advanced Naval Warfare simulator. Terrorist attacks on the Belgium Royal family have left the Dutch Crown Prince next in line to the throne of Belgium. Popular mourning and an uprising has quickly resulted into civil war between the French-speaking Walloons in southern Belgium and the Dutch-speaking Flemish in northern Belgium. Holland has quickly moved ground forces into Belgium to assert its claim to the throne, while France has tried unsuccessfully to mobilise the UN. But as the Israelis showed in 1967, the UN cannot operate at the pace of modern warfare... Battle of Britain II Holland has moved ground forces into Belgium and defeated French attempts to interfere. The Charles de Gaulle has been sunk and the French air force is licking its wounds. The UN has authorised all members to take steps to reverse this situation and the UK has taken up the call of duty. Author: Freek Schepers This scenario requires the PlayersDB [battle of Britain] that has been included in the *.zip file. Do not attempt to play this scenario with other versions of the PlayersDB.

June 18, 200619 yr Author Power Sweep & Beach Reconnaissance Here are two more PlayersDB scenarios that have been tested and found to be fully compatible with the Harpoon3: ANW engine. We are in the process of testing each and every PlayersDB scenario in order to ensure complete compatibility. There have been many changes in the game engine. Some behaviour and modelling that was operational in Harpoon 3.6.3 may either be non-functional in ANW or behave in a significantly different manner. One such item is the new mine warfare model that was recently introduced to the PlayersDB. For reasons such as this, we will be extensively and exhaustively testing pre-existing PlayersDB scenarios and not rating them as ANW compatible until we are certain of it. Players are advised that only the PlayersDB scenarios specifically declared to be compatible with ANW have been tested by their authors. While most users will find no major issues playing PlayersDB Harpoon 3.6.3 scenarios with the new ANW engine, there have been sporadic reports of crashes and other problematic behaviour when switching to the new engine that did not occur in the older 3.6.3 engine. We thank you for your patience in this matter and hope to get all PlayersDB scenarios tested and fully compatible with ANW as soon as possible. Beach Reconnaissance Soviet submarines have scored many successes in the Atlantic convoy lanes through the profligate expenditure of torpedoes and missiles. By the third week of the war, many submarines are suspected to be low on fuel and munitions. However, the number of submarines returning to ports in the Kola Peninsula is far lower than expected. The level of subsurface activity in the Spitzbergen area is higher than expected. Investigate and see if these anomalies are coincidental or correlated. If the Soviets can replenish away from the Kola Peninsula, this would be a significant and strategic force multiplier. Author: Herman Hum Power Sweep The war has not been kind to the Soviet navy; especially their submarine forces. In order to protect their remaining submarine units, the Soviets have been forced to begin escorting their less capable boats with first-line SSNs. In this engagement, a Soviet SSN is guarding two other units as they proceed south through the Norwegian Sea. Once the group has reached the Atlantic, the SSN will perform its own mission while the SS and SSGN attack surface shipping. First, though, NATO will try to stop them.
