The coast of Norway is made up of fjords and islands with high, rocky coasts. This is a perfect place for small surface craft to operate because the rock walls make them hard to spot on radar, and the short detection ranges make their smaller SSMs more useful than in the open ocean. Additionally, there are so many fjords and other places to hide such that no navy can afford enough large craft to do the job.

3.0 Bridging the Gap
http://imageshack.us/a/img405/3792/1pa.th.gif (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/405/1pa.gif/)
Feb 14 1994, Valentines Day. Less than 24 hours ago Soviet forces struck all across Eastern Europe in a bid to seize the initiative and establish themselves as the dominant fore in Europe once and for all time.
NATO, and particularly the Americans are not well positioned to challenge this sudden attack. The defences of Northern Norway were caught off guard and much of the Soviet fleet has left port. Over 100 submarines, the CV Adm Kuznetsov, two BCGNs, and four CVHs have entered the North sea. The NATO submarine patrols off the North Cape have been silenced.
Simultaneous with the attack on Jan Mayan, the Royal Marine Commandos and Danish Home Guard on the Shetland Islands and Vagar are bracing for an attack. These island outposts stand square in the middle of the GIUK gap and, if left in NATO hands, would form the basis for an ASW/AAW barrier. In Soviet hands, the gap is wide open.
The Royal Navy is moving the HMS Invincible TG North to oppose the Soviet move. Will it be enough?

Dangerous Waters
http://imageshack.us/a/img541/7391/rme.th.gif (http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/541/rme.gif/)
Act I: Onslaught
"In a carefully planned series of attacks, the Warsaw Pact begins a war against NATO. Their goal is to seize West Germany, gutting NATO militarily and economically. The Soviets will demand a high price for Germany's return, or assimilate its industry and technology for their own use."
"Submarines have traditionally lurked near harbours, hoping to catch ships leaving port, before they can lose themselves on the open ocean. With the war underway, the waters off the Kola Peninsula are the best hunting ground in the world, if you can stay alive."
This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "High Tide" compilation from Clash of Arms.

"The Northern flank of the Soviet assault on West Germany was exposed to possible attack from the sea. To secure this flank, the Soviets planned to knock Denmark out of the war quickly. The Poles and the East Germans have been invited to participate to show their solidarity with the Socialist cause. The invasion force was spotted by NATO aerial reconnaissance, but their destination could not be determined from the ships' movements."

11.0 Cutting the Noose
http://imageshack.com/a/img801/1034/c4e.gif (https://imageshack.com/i/m9c4eg)
The Soviets have captured Keflavik, Iceland, and are using their forces garrisoned there to disrupt NATO operations around the GIUK Gap. From there, they are launching attacks against the convoys crossing the North Atlantic to bring badly needed war supplies to Europe and their control of the air space around Iceland is allowing Soviet submarines to move through the Gap with little fear of attack from NATO ASW units. Soviet surface units are also able to re-supply there and thus operate farther from their home ports on the Kola Peninsula than they would otherwise be able to do.

The 3rd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!
The Battle for the First Salvo
http://imageshack.com/a/img707/6130/uqw0.gif (https://imageshack.com/i/jnuqw0g)
This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Charles D. Taylor's, "First Salvo".
"The power structure in Washington had been privy to the Soviet Union's intentions well before D minus 7. In a world made smaller by satellite reconnaissance and instant communications, no nation could conceal such tactics for long.
It had been predicted by the CIA that, about one week preliminary to a concerted ground attack against NATO forces in Central Europe, the Soviet Union would initiate a series of military-political feints in various parts of the globe. The intent would be to confuse intelligence networks as to their exact goal. It could involve an increase in terrorist activities, an instigation of localized civil wars, previously unannounced military games in critical areas, and probable overt acts against U.S. forces -- all of which would be followed immediately by release of misinformation via KGB stations in major cities."
A wave of terrorist bombings has been perpetrated against Turkey resulting in the deaths of hundreds, including the President. Although instigated by KGB operatives, the blame and trail of evidence left behind led to Greece. As expected, war was declared within hours. The Turkish air force directed heavy bombing strikes over major Greek cities. The Greek retaliation was just as severe. Turkey announced the closure of the Bosporus and Dardanelles until further notice. As planned, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet had already passed through into the AEgean Sea.
In light of the situation in the Asia Minor, the annual exercises conducted by Russian divisions in Poland, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia were held over and Warsaw Pact forces did not return to base. NATO forces were placed on Condition Two alert with satellite photos showing reserve divisions mobilizing in the western sectors of the Soviet Union.
Four separate ramming incidents were recorded between Soviet and USN naval units in the Sea of Japan. In each case, the Soviets charged that American ships harassed Soviet units without provocation.
"The battle for the first salvo is taking a special meaning in naval battle under present-day conditions... Delay in the employment of weapons in a naval battle or operation inevitably will be fraught with the most serious and even fatal consequences, regardless of where the fleet is located, at sea or in port."
Adm. Sergei Gorshkov,
Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union

8.0 Plight of the Moskva
http://imageshack.com/a/img802/9838/0owl.gif (https://imageshack.com/i/ma0owlg)
This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".
"As Soviet and Syrian forces battled the Americans and Israelis in the eastern Mediterranean, RADM Arkadi Filiminov's KPUG 2 initiated operations to secure the Aegean. At dawn, the Alligator-class amphibious transports Donetsky Shakhter and Alexsandr Tortsev began landing six hundred marines on the St. Barbara beach at Myrina, a small port on the west coast of Limnos. Overhead, specially modified army attack helicopters flying from the Moskva supported the invasion as the guns of the cruiser Ochakov pounded the old Genoese fort that overlooked the harbour. By noon, the island at the entrance to the Turkish Straits was in Soviet hands."
"As Filiminov left the bridge, he turned to CAPT Kamensky. 'We Russian officers,' he said, 'must always maintain our sense of the tragic. You know the old French proverb, "If you wish to learn to pray, embark on the sea."' Filiminov then retired to his cabin and committed suicide. Kamensky later found Filiminov's service revolver in his right hand; a small cross in his left."

The 5th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!
12.0 Operations Plan 220-90
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h130/hermanhum/OPlan220_zps2513f528.gif (http://s63.photobucket.com/user/hermanhum/media/OPlan220_zps2513f528.gif.html)
This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".
"OPLAN 220-90 called for U.S. forces throughout the Pacific Command (PACOM) to initiate conventional offensive and defensive operations against Soviet units and against the Soviet Union itself. The plan assumed that neither power, at least initially, would have the assistance of its allies, other than the use of foreign facilities, such as Soviet bases in Vietnam and American bases in Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines."
"Thus, on D-Day the Soviets began not a military, but diplomatic and public affairs offensives in Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, and Taiwan. Soviet diplomats entreated and threatened each of these countries to remain neutral and to forbid the operations of American forces from their soil. Other Soviet officials, local communists, and their supporters initiated campaigns designed to divide public opinion and to persuade East Asians that they ought not to allow themselves to be dragged into a European war by the United States."
"The Soviets gained even greater success on D Day in the North Pacific. Several hours before hostilities began, Bear reconnaissance aircraft located four American frigates convoying six container ships about nine hundred miles southeast of Hokkaido along the Seattle-Yokohama sealift route. Throughout the morning and early afternoon, the Pacific Fleet KPF vectored air, surface, and subsurface assets -- the Novorossiysk-Kalinin group, a Foxtrot, an Akula, and SNA Backfires and Badgers -- into strike positions. The attacks began at 1330 and lasted for three hours. All ten American ships were sunk. The Soviets lost neither a ship, a plane, nor a submarine. ADM Ushakov saw the sharp engagement as a vindication of his strategic ideas for Pacific operations. 'This battle was,' he reported to the general staff, 'a classic example of our combined naval doctrine and the most successful engagement fought by our naval forces on D Day, anywhere.
For CINCPAC, the convoy debacle was one of those events in life that suddenly bring everything into sharp focus. The loss of the container ships, loaded with ordnance and spare parts for air force squadrons in Japan, placed an immediate burden on American air transport assets which had to be shifted from other missions to fly supplies to the western Pacific. The Soviet success also demonstrated the dangers of operating without air cover. ADM Cooper immediately saw the wisdom of ADM Jernigan's strategy. Allied land-based air assets in South Korea and Japan blocked the movement of Soviet strike aircraft to the south and to the east. Their only way out was to the north -- between Hokkaido and Kamchatka. The only way to plug the gap was with naval air. Fortunately, Jernigan has his carriers closing in perfectly -- the Kitty Hawk coming down from the Aleutians, and the Independence coming up from Yokosuka. But Cooper remained concerned: could two carriers fight their way into the gap and close it?"

"The crisis began in Nov 2013 when President Yanukovych's cabinet announced that it was abandoning an agreement that would strengthen trade ties with the EU. The government later sought closer ties with Russia.
Anti-government protesters, who supported closer ties with the EU, called for the resignation of President Yanukovych and early elections.

As the violence escalated, the Ukrainian parliament voted to overthrow President Yanukovych and he fled over the border into Russia."

"Two US warships have arrived in the Black Sea and will stand ready to offer assistance in the case of a security emergency at the Sochi Olympic games, officials said Wednesday.
The USS Mount Whitney, a command vessel for the Navy's 6th Fleet in the Mediterranean, arrived on Tuesday after departing its port in Naples, Italy, over the weekend, officials said.
[snip]
The second ship, the USS Taylor, is a frigate that arrived in the area on Wednesday, carrying a crew of about 200 sailors."
DefenseNews, Feb 5, 2014
"U.S. Navy said Thursday its guided-missile destroyer USS Truxtun was on its way to the Black Sea for combined training and security cooperation operations.
The Arleigh Burke-class destroyer left its port in Souda Bay, on the northwest coast of Greece, to conduct drills in the Black Sea with Romanian and Bulgarian forces.
Lt. Shawn Eklund, a Navy spokesman, told Stars and Stripes the deployment wasn't related to Russian military activity in Ukraine.
'Truxtun's operations in the Black Sea were scheduled well in advance,' he said in an interview published Thursday."
United Press International [UPI], 6 Mar 2014
"The Turkish Air Force scrambled six F-16 fighter jets after a Russian surveillance plane flew parallel along its Black Sea coast, the military said on Friday, amid increased tensions between Russia and the West over Ukraine.
The incident, the second of its kind reported this week, occurred on Thursday. The Russian plane remained in international airspace, according to a statement on the website of the military General Staff."

1.0 SitRep:
The cowardly Ukrainians attacked a vessel attempting to convey the rightful President of the Ukraine to safety in the Motherland. Even now, they brazenly flout our rightful and legitimate authority to protect the interests of ethnic Russians in the Crimea.
To add insult to injury, their corrupt former Prime Minister, Yulia Tymoshenko, derisively dubbed 'The Princess' by Crimean Russians, thumbs her nose at the might and authority of President Putin by attending the opening ceremonies of the Sochi Special Olympics.
The meddlesome Americans have ordered their ships back to the coast of Sochi ostensibly to provide 'assistance in the case of a security emergency' at the Games. Although in international waters, their presence lends support to the usurpers of the Orange Revolution.
2.0 Intelligence:
U.S. Sixth Fleet units consisting of LCC Mount Whitney, FF Taylor, and DDG Truxtun are deployed in the Black Sea. The 'Princess' is leaving Sochi and plans to meet with General Obie Juan aboard the LCC Mt. Whitney to discuss possible deployment of U.S. troops in the Crimea.
Following our legitimate and reasonable reconnaissance patrols and probes along the Turkish Black Sea border, several Turkish naval vessels have deployed on sovereignty patrols and increased their alert status.
3.0 Orders:
By direct order of President Putin, Alrosa is hereby directed to sink the vessel carrying 'The Princess'. She has boarded the Spanish-flagged merchant vessel, Millenium Halcon, for rendezvous with the Mt. Whitney.
Since the Ukrainians covertly attacked President Yanukovych, turnabout is only fair play, especially in the presence of the Olympics. Sink the Millenium Halcon while maintaining plausible deniability for the Kremlin.

1.0 SitRep:
The Russians have seized Kirovskoe, Belbek, and Saki bases. The Marines at Feodosiya vow to fight to the last man. This is the darkest time for the nation. Russian forces are expected to seize Oktyabrskoye and Karankut bases within the day.
The 204th Tactical Aviation Brigade has been grounded for the past month to prevent any accidental confrontation in order to avoid bloodshed. This has been in vain as brave Ukrainian soldiers are now dying. However, the time spent on the ground has not been wasted as every aircraft has undergone intensive maintainance and is now 100% ready for combat.
A naval confrontation between NATO and Russia broke out in the Black Sea. A NATO surface group consisting of Turkish, Romanian, Bulgarian, and American vessels was annihilated by Russian forces led by the Slava-class cruiser, Moskva. NATO has dubbed her "The Death Star".
2.0 Intelligence:
The Moskva expended all her surface-to-surface missiles in the battle and most of her SAMs, too. She has returned to port and is working feverishly to replenish her magazines. She is currently vulnerable and relies upon defences provided by other units.
The Russians do not consider small one-man fighters armed with cluster munitions to be any threat.
3.0 Orders:
Sink the Moskva before she can complete her replenishment.
Priority One. All other priorities rescinded.
The Moskva is heavily defended and carries the firepower greater than half the Black Sea Fleet. Its defences are designed around a large-scale assault. The approach will not be easy. A low-level attack profile will minimize your exposure. Skim the surface to the release point.
The available bombs, rockets, and cluster munitions have a theoretical range of 2 nautical miles. However, the closer they are to the target when released, the more effective they will be.
The Western nations are on the fence regarding the Ukraine as it has not shown any willingness to fight for her own sovereignty. The 204th Tactical Aviation Bde must demonstrate that resolve.
All other bases are openly displaying passiveness in order to mis-lead the Russians into believing that their illegal annexation will be accepted without opposition.
4.0 Rules of Engagement:
Warning Level Red, Weapons Free.
Engage all Russian units at your discretion. Primary target is Moskva.
Order 937
Priority One:
Ensure destruction of Moskva
All other considerations secondary

Inspired by fictional events depicted in Tom Clancy's, "Debt of Honor".
In eastern Tennessee, a car accident involving two Japanese-made vehicles leads to the deaths of six people. Revelations about manufacturing and shipping errors that led to the accident stir long-standing resentment toward Japan's trade policies.
As trade negotiations between the United States and Japan come to a halt, Congress passes legislation allowing the US to replicate trade practices of the countries from which it imports goods. This immediately cuts off US export markets, threatening the Japanese economy.
Facing an economic crisis, Japan's ruling corporate cabal decides to take military action against the United States. Supported covertly by India and China, they plot to curtail the American presence in the Pacific.
Japan launches phase one of its assault, sending Self-Defense Force units to occupy the Marianas Islands, specifically Saipan.
The invasion, conducted with commercial airliners is virtually bloodless.
Elsewhere, during a joint military exercise, Japanese ships "accidentally" launch torpedoes at the US Pacific Fleet, destroying two submarines and crippling two aircraft carriers (Enterprise and John C. Stennis).
US naval capability in the western Pacific is drastically reduced.
Immediate retaliation is delayed by phase two of the Japanese offensive: an economic attack.
As the military offensive begins, Japan engineers the collapse of the US stock market by hiring a programmer who is also a consultant for an exchange firm, tasked with inserting a logic bomb into the system.
When triggered, the computer program blocks the storage of all trade records made after noon on Friday.
The Japanese also attempt to take the life of the Federal Reserve chairman, however he survives the attack with a broken back.
America now faces a massive economic crisis of their own and subsequent mass panic. The Japanese hope the Americans will be too distracted to quickly respond to Japan's military actions.

This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".
"Responsibility for the defense of western Libya-Tripolitania--rested primarily with the Libyan air arm. It was, on paper, a substantial force of more than 550 combat aircraft. But over 400 planes were in storage and many of the rest were flown by Syrian, North Korean, or Russian pilots. (The Soviets also controlled the extensive Libyan air defense system.) There were only about 75 fighters--miserable Su-20 Fitters and nearly obsolescent MiG-23 Floggers--combat ready in Tripolitania on the morning of D-Day. The Soviets promised to supply pilots and to fly in additional aircraft in the event of a crisis. But in the midst of a global war, neither the Soviet Union nor any of its surrogates could afford to send hundreds of skilled pilots to Libya.
Over 200 NATO fighters and attack aircraft were available to "take on" the Libyans during the 14th. Rear Admiral Byrnes's Kennedy task group alone carried 86 aircraft including 20 F-14A Tomcats, 20 F/A-18 Hornets, and 20 A-6E Intruders, a force numerically equal, and qualitatively superior to the Libyan forces based around Tripoli. The dozen AV-8B Harriers on the Italian carrier Garibaldi, and the 16 Super Etendards and 10 Vought F-8E Crusaders of the French carrier Foch would be available to support the Kennedy's operations. NATO land-based air assets in Sicily included a dozen USMC F/A-18 Hornets at Sigonella, 32 F-16A Falcons of the USAF's 401 Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW), 612th Tactical Fighter Squadron, at Comiso (the wing's 613th and 614th TFSs were scheduled to arrive on the 15th and 16 respectively), 32 Italian F-104G Starfighters of 37 Stormo at Trapani, and 30 G 91Ys of 32 Stormo that had staged from their base at Brindisi to Cantania."

This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".
"The campaign against Libya was but one of several waged within the US Central Command's area of responsibility (AOR). On the morning of 14 July, all hell broke loose from the Red Sea to the Strait of Malacca. Four Russian "tankers" began dropping mines in the shipping channels of the Persian Gulf, while Soviet aircraft, surface combatants, and submarines staged dramatic attacks against Allied and neutral ships."

Warsaw Pact declares unrestricted warfare on all vessels sailing under NATO flags but promises to respect the sovereignty of neutral nations and encourages all vessels not involved in the conflict to seek safe haven in port so that 'unforeseen and accidental incidents' do not occur. Most commercial vessels heed the call and sit at anchorage.
Most nations within the Persian Gulf and Indian Ocean are maintaining their neutrality and state that they intend to defend their borders against all incursions. Forward deployment of U.S. assets not possible at this time.

NATO vs USSR
LOCATION: Arctic Circle
TIME: 5 January 2017, 0400 GMT
Mikhail Gorbachev's removal from power during a coup by the army, and his subsequent execution at the hands of the KGB, led to a Soviet government that became even more insular than it had already been. Protests following Gorbachev's death were swiftly put down, and once elements of the Soviet government that had previously supported him had been forced to re-embrace traditional party values, the government was able to focus on re-establishing the arms programs that Gorbachev had tried to dissolve.
The situation was not received well in Europe or the USA, and continued to escalate over the next few decades. Russia began exerting additional pressure on shipping in the Arctic Circle, claiming sovereignty over waters that had previously been open to all nations. When Soviet vessels fired on Norwegian ships, sinking them with all hands, the matter was suppressed despite the British Special Boat Service (SBS) finding evidence that proved Russian involvement in an incident which was blamed on malfunctioning GPS equipment, engine fires, inclement conditions and any other reason that could be produced in an attempt to prevent an all out war.
To try and prevent any further raids of this type occurring again, NATO ships began moving north and taking up positions around the ice pack. Royal Navy and US Navy submarines began patrolling these waters with renewed awareness. The situation came to an inevitable head when an over-zealous NATO fighter pilot fired on a Soviet sub that was forced to surface after engine trouble, in close proximity to a NATO convoy. The sub was reported as sunk by the pilot, but repercussions from the Soviets were not far behind. NATO agents in Russia reported that a high amount of traffic around the docks in Nenelsia and Yamalia, with all SSSR crews being called back to their vessels. All contact was lost with NATO agents in Russia, and their fate can only be guessed at.

The 24th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!
11.0 Turkey Trots to Water
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h130/hermanhum/th_TurkeyTr_zpsc1b2beb7.gif (http://s63.photobucket.com/user/hermanhum/media/TurkeyTr_zpsc1b2beb7.gif.html)
This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".
"In response, Seventh Fleet had concentrated formidable amphibious assets in WESTPAC. A sizable task force had concentrated at Okinawa -- fourteen ships capable of lifting twelve thousand marines of III MEF. Maritime Prepositioning Ships Squadron 3 lay anchored at Guam, loaded with equipment for 1 MEB, based in Hawaii (the 3rd Marines). A six-ship convoy carrying additional equipment and supplies for the marines was at sea about 750 miles south of Okinawa. If the Independence group moved north, only about a dozen frigates, an SSN, and three squadrons of patrol aircraft would remain to protect these assets.
Cooper also worried that the Soviets might move their remaining surface assets from Vladivostok through the Tsushima Strait between Japan and Korea, link up with their KUG already in the East China Sea, and 'devastate our poorly screened amphibious forces as they clear Okinawa.' On the morning of 13 July, CINCPAC received a report from Japanese intelligence sources that a task force including the carrier Baku, two cruisers, a destroyer, four frigates, and several replenishment vessels would shortly depart Vladivostok. Unless the Japanese and South Koreans intervened, only limited American forces -- the four marine squadrons at Iwakuni, Japan, the SSN Tunny, and the old diesel boat Barbel -- were positioned to prevent a Soviet move through the Tsushima Strait.
Despite his concerns, CINCPAC deferred to his subordinate's judgement. To Cooper's mind, Jernigan was responsible for operations in WESTPAC, and the decision was his call. Either choice involved risks, grave risks. No one knew what the Russians were going to do, or for that matter the Japanese or Koreans, north or south. But Cooper was a proponent of what he considered a cherished naval principle -- the initiative of the subordinate, trust and confidence. Cooper had no wish to overrule a subordinate's decision, especially one of his first decisions of a campaign. Cooper had known Jernigan for twenty years and had complete faith in him. So the Indy went north, not south."
"Shortly after 1100 Tokyo time (1500 at Pearl), reports of air battles over the Sea of Japan began to reach LTG James Bridges, Commander Fifth Air Force at his headquarters in Yokota, Japan. To the north, American F-16 Falcons of the 432nd Tactical Fighter Wing (TFW), based at Misawa in northern Honshu, and to the south, F/A-18 Hornets of Marine Aircraft Group 15, based at Iwakuni, engaged Soviet MiGs and Sukhois in aerial duels to control the air space to the west of the Japanese home islands. The marine and air force pilots found themselves outnumbered and hard pressed. At 1355, Bridges called GEN Henry Eustace, Commander, Pacific Air Forces, at Hickam AFB, Hawaii, over a secure telephone line and requested the release of the two squadrons of F-15 Eagles based at Kadena, Okinawa, which had heretofore been restricted to CAP missions between Japan and Taiwan. Bridges also recommended that Seventh Air Force assets in South Korea be fed into the battle. Eustace promptly gave Bridges complete authority over the 18th TFW at Kadena, but, fearing a North Korean attack across the DMZ, PACAIRFOR, with CINCPAC's approval, continued to hold the South Korea-based Seventh Air Force's 314th Air Division in reserve."

"Russian nationalist fervor grew worse and more aggressive. Thwarted in her attempts to intimidate Poland because of tacit NATO assistance, Russia looked to Sweden in its search for expansion and a politically vital diversion. This time, the dispute was over Gotland Island, which Russia claimed as an ancient Tsarist territory that a 'free' Russia, (free of Communism, that is) wanted back. Sweden denied any such claim and both sides began sending patrol craft into the waters around Gotland to reinforce their positions."

The Wilderness did not go well. The Confederate forces managed, though with great difficulty, to entrap the Union army in a ring of fire which closed in on the troops in an image of destruction unheard of previously in the War. The battle had an incredible impact on the population of the North. When mothers and fathers realized their sons had died under the merciless flames set by Southern hands, they no longer desired to keep "people like that" in their beloved Union. The peace treaty was shortly to follow.
But, in the end, both the USA and the CSA had the same national history, and similar desires, goals, and concerns. By 1875, a defensive pact was established between the two nations. Technology was shared and developed, the War soon became forgotten. Even the abhorred slavery issue died off with the development of technologies which led the institution of slavery into retirement. Machines could complete the tasks slaves had done in shorter times and without food and housing.
The continent of North America boomed. World War I came and went, Russia turned communist, and World War II left the world in ruins -- except for the USA and the CSA.
The shared technology system worked for both nations -- until the USA discovered stealth technology. This, the northern nation decided, should not be shared. In the end, they thought, even the South might be a potential enemy. And, when the CSA learned of this violation of the treaty, the South did, indeed, become an enemy. Obviously, there were issues unresolved in the last War between them. Such issues would be resolved now.

"In a carefully planned series of attacks, the Warsaw Pact begins a war against NATO. Their goal is to seize West Germany, gutting NATO militarily and economically. The Soviets will demand a high price for Germany's return, or assimilate its industry and technology for their own use."
"Large scale strikes by Soviet Naval Aviation (SNA) on NATO port facilities and energy infrastructure slow reinforcements and disrupt transportation.
Spetsnaz attacks further disrupt transportation and communications lines. One group, landing in Norway, cuts a critical North-South reinforcement highway. Soviet forces, landing near Tromso, Norway, rapidly secure the northern third of the country, then head south.
Keflavik, Iceland, a vital base for maritime patrol aircraft and fighters as well as a SOSUS station, is pounded by land-attack SS-N-3s from Echo II-class SSGNs. Using a combination of fuel-air-explosive and persistent chemical warheads, this vital base is neutralized for the critical opening phase of the war. By the time it recovers, the Russians figure it won't matter.
The first few days of the war find the Soviets advancing through Europe and NATO reeling. Decision-makers in Washington, London, and Paris must decide whether or not to use nuclear weapons to redress the imbalance."
"The first major convoy, escorted by a group led by USS Leyte Gulf, has left the United States enroute to Germany. SNA strike regiments have mounted a number of small-scale operations without success. Naval intelligence has positioned assets to predict the time before the Soviets attempt a full-scale strike on the vital convoy."
1.0 SitRep:
Soviet Naval Aviation has exacted a heavy toll from NATO shipping. NATO has replied in turn by attacking SNA bases on the Kola Peninsula. One such attack severely damaged Shagui.
This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "Battles of the Third World War" compilation from Game Designers' Workshop.

Announcing the "Indochine War".
Hi Harpoon Afficionados,
I am new to announcing my scenarios on this forum, so I would like to introduce my series of battlesets in a fictitious war I have created called the Indochine War - taking place between 2007-2009. There have been 17 scenarios released thus far, and that has taken us through the first half of 2007.
A synopsis of this what-if war is written below. If it perks your interest, you can find the database and scenarios bundled within the PlayersDb Installation file under CasoDb. Please check it out and if you find it engaging, then you can look forward to a long line of scenarios in the future, as I will be at this for some time to come.
Thanks,
Alan Caso
************************************************** ******
THE INDOCHINE REGIME
This campaign is not for the purist. This is an eclectic composition of past and future platforms, that is made possible due to a "what if" historical scenario.
COMBAT TIME PERIOD: 2007-2010
HISTORY:
1992-1998
The early to mid-nineties sees China discover enormous oil deposits deep below the Southern Gobi Desert. These reserves are nearly as massive as the Saudi fields, extending off in branches as far north as the Russian Siberian tundra. Normally these deposits would be irretrievable because of their depth and the geological sub-strata, but a breakthrough by Chinese engineers and geologists unlock the secrets of this difficult extraction.
After the breakup of the Soviet Union, the Russian government struggles to find definition and structure. The discovery of the section of Chinese oil deposits which extend into Siberia gives a boost to the new fledgling Russian democracy. However, these deposits remain locked to the Russians deep beneath the surface, because they don't possess the necessary technology. China steps in and helps them retrieve the oil in exchange for the right to purchase much of the huge Russian fleet rusting in mothballs. In addition, they purchase the naval plans to all but a few of their surface platforms. The Russians are content to sit back and get rich selling their military hardware and new found oil. Giving up any last vestiges of being a projecting naval power, the Russians remain satisfied building up their defensive posture and staying behind the scenes.
On the other hand, the Chinese become a major naval power virtually overnight. Within a few short years, they create several carrier groups, cruiser squadrons and develop an amphibious capability second only to the US, while amassing large quantities of DDG's and FFG's. Their amazing ability to take ship plans and mothballed hulks from the former Soviet shipyards and copy and refit them with modernized weaponry is miraculous. In many of their shipyards, platforms are turned out in 210 to 240 days. Keeping in step are the Chinese naval academies and training facilities, creating an entire generation of highly motivated naval and air personnel, with a new cadre of young officers. Naval manoeuvres and war games are stepped up to build experience and confidence. The Western Pacific becomes the personal playground for the Chinese navy, marines and air force.
Due to these extraordinary developments, the United States, United Kingdom and other NATO powers aggressively re-commission mothballed ships and step up development of platforms that are barely off the drawing board. By the mid nineties, the United States brings back recently decommissioned CV's, the Iowas, the Virginias and other CGN's. They reach back for mothballed Adams and Brooke units, and even re-commission surviving Leahy- and Belknap-class CG’s. All other scheduled decommissions are cancelled, and refits are conducted throughout the mothballed navy. The intent is to reinstitute a 700-ship navy as quickly as possible. A hawk is elected President in 1996, and the military arms race is ratcheted up. Development of the F/A-35 program goes forward full throttle, as well as many new weapons systems such as the AIM-120C9. The UK steps up the development of the Queen Elizabeth CV and Daring DDG programs while re-commissioning their older DDG's and FFG's such as the County's and Broadswords. The French put extra resources toward speeding up their Rafale program. France, Great Britain and Italy step up the joint Horizon Frigate project. Australia gets into the race by ordering two refitted Iwo Jima-class Carriers from the US and move forward with their River DDG program. For the first time in 20 plus years, the draft is reinstituted.
About the time that China finds oil, India discovers uranium - huge deposits that turn the country into a major player on the strategic game board. In addition, as if there was some divine entity driving the world into further chaos, diamond deposits are discovered by accident when a national company is strip-mining for iron ore - large and vast, these diamond deposits rival South African reserves. The Indian Government regales in its new-found wealth. Military activists gain control in the '94 elections and the arms build-up is underway, fueled by disputes with Pakistan.
THE BEGINNING OF THE INDOCHINE ALLIANCE
1998 - 2001
The late 90's find India and China realizing that it’s in their common interest to join together and determine the future of Asia. They form the Indochine Alliance. The fragile peace between Pakistan and India threatens the stability of their new alliance, so China attempts to broker an agreement between Pakistan and India. It offers Pakistan a seat at the table in return for their cooperation, although they require acknowledgement that India and China remain the final arbiters in all decisions. In lieu of these stipulations, US pressure on the Pakistani government wins out, and the Pakistan delegation steps away from the talks to claim a neutral position. However, they offer air space to the Allies for continued access to Afghanistan after the Allies make a heavy commitment to provide an increase in military hardware.
North Korea quickly steps on board the Indo-Chine bandwagon, in all probability due to the fact that China dangles South Korea in front of their nose like a carrot. China shares its Russian naval windfall with India and the other members. The Indian shipyards take these plans and produce well-built versions of their own - cheaply and quickly. As the middle of the first decade in the new millennium approaches, the Indo-Chine Alliance has a combined navy of over 800 ships!
THE START OF HOSTILITIES
2001 - 2006
The United States and her Allies, although lagging behind in the naval arms race, are quickly catching up with all their programs in re-commissioning, refitting, new ships and new weapons . However, this is side-tracked when the US is attacked in September, 2001. The Taliban, having been emboldened by the growing destabilization caused by the Indochine Alliance, carries out their terrorist operations. Saddam Hussein, believing that the rise of the Indochine Alliance preoccupies and threatens the US and her allies, begins to wave his stick around the Mideast once again. The American alliance invades Afghanistan and Iraq. By the end of 2006 the US and allies are still fully engaged in these conflicts; however, they have clearly begun to neutralize the two situations. Troop levels are being reduced, and plans for civil authority to be restored is about to be made a reality.
The US and Allies get their naval programs back up to full speed. However, the Iraq and Afghanistan wars have seriously delayed their progress. This has undermined Allied plans for having enough resources to discourage any hostile expansion by the Indochines, and has curtailed their ability to respond to any first –strike action taken by the Indochine Alliance. This is not lost on the Indochine military planners. Believing the time is right to strike, The Indochine military machine makes its move.
In a well coordinated campaign, India strikes into Southeast Asia, taking control of Malaysia. While forming a shaky alliance with Myanmar, India threatens Thailand. Caught in the middle, Thailand agrees to join the Indochine Alliance and participates in the overthrow of the Cambodian and Laotian governments. Indonesia avidly joins the alliance, in the hopes of receiving new military hardware. The Indochine Alliance welcomes them eagerly, and provides them with limited naval and air materiel. Knowing their cooperation is invaluable in securing the oil fields there, the Alliance also sees Indonesia providing a buffer zone to Australia. The Chinese leave the administration of the Indian Ocean and the Indonesian theater to their Indian and Thai allies, while the south and western Pacific is the purview of the Chinese.
The Indochine Alliance is undecided about how to deal with Vietnam. The long and difficult history of discord between China and Viet Nam plagues policy makers in Beijing. All initial attempts at a dialogue offered by the Indochines had gone un-answered since the Alliance’s inception, but after the commencement of hostilities, Vietnam voluntarily joins the Regime, and a tenuous peace in Southeast Asia is achieved.
At the same time, Indochine forces invade and occupy Taiwan, the Philippines, and form a blockade around Japan and South Korea with the help of the North Koreans. Surprisingly, China restrains North Korea from invading South Korea. At first, the North Koreans are outraged, crying foul. Their understanding was that they were promised a free hand in the south. China manages to smooth their ruffled feathers. No doubt it's only a matter of time until South Korea is consumed. Behind this terrible drama, the Russians continue to ply the Indochine Alliance with more technology and materiel while making a bloody fortune.
In an effort to isolate Australia and control the trade routes across the Pacific, the Indochine forces strike out south and east towards the Solomons, New Guinea, Micronesia, the Marshalls, Tuvalu, Vanuatu and New Caledonia. Many of these islands and atolls were so valiantly liberated by the US Navy and Marines little more than sixty years before; the world sees them fall once again to dark forces. Although the Indochine Alliance is not nearly as oppressive and brutal as their Japanese predecessors, a foreign ruler still remains an insufferable one.
War is declared on the Indochine Alliance at the end of 2006, and countries around the globe align themselves with either the Allies, choose to remain neutral or opt for membership in the Indochine Alliance.
The immediate future sees the Alliance hoping to destabilize other areas in order to spread their influence for future expansion. Renegade nations in Africa and the Middle East are expected to align themselves soon with the Indochine Alliance after receiving heavy financial and military aid. Iran, whose fundamentalism finds a kinship with Indochine ideals, becomes their firmest ally in the Mid-East. In the Southwestern Hemisphere, South America is a ticking bomb. The many small republics comprising this continent find prestige in aligning themselves with major world powers. Therefore, pre-Indochine China spent many years cultivating relations with Peru, Ecuador, Argentina, Venezuela, and Cuba by offering to help through investment in refurbishing these nations’ infrastructures; another key strategy was buying their natural resources and providing military hardware. Now as the Indochine Alliance makes its move on the world stage, these countries are willing to align themselves with this extremely rich and resourceful benefactor. These restful nations accept the military hardware and technology in exchange for providing a staging area from which their masters will be able to strike deep into the very heart of the United States. Brazil remains neutral for the moment.
Spring – 2007:
By the beginning of 2007, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq have stabilized. The result of the returned draft has helped fill the ranks of the United States and Allied services to full combat strength, with healthy reserves. These wars have also produced a military with veterans possessing combat experience unequalled anywhere else in the world. This experience is being passed on to the new rank and file. The Allied naval build-up is beginning to provide results from a program that has travelled a rocky road. The 700 ship navy is close at hand. This is how we find the situation at the beginning of this series of campaigns.
*****************
Here is the announcement placed at other forums to announce the latest scenario and end of a third battleset for my "Indochine War" campaign. Please go to the hyperlink at the end of the scenario to upload the entire previous series of scenarios and battlesets in the Players Db.
End of 3rd Battleset – “Too Few Victories”
This scenario, “Islands In The Stream Pt 2”, is the seventeenth scenario and the last of the third battleset – “Too Few Victories”. The next battleset of the Indochine Campaign is “The Fifty Yard Line”. With luck and some hard work I will come out with the first scenario(s) sometime early next year with a projected series of 10 scenarios. I hope you check in and play.
Thanks,

The 17th NEW Indochine Campaign Scenario
Islands In The Stream Pt 2
Southwest and Central Pacific:
North of the Solomons:
Federated States of Micronesia:
In the previous scenario, the Allies have taken Majuro in the Marshalls and Betio (Tarawa) in the Kiribati island group. This scenario finds the capitol of Palikir in eastern Micronesia as the target of the second offensive action taken by the allies in the war, and the final stage in securing the disparate island groups of the South Central Pacific - another gamble to free the Islands in the Stream.

The 37th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!
06.0 First Convoy
http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h130/hermanhum/th_1stConvoy_zps4ff0cec2.gif (http://s63.photobucket.com/user/hermanhum/media/1stConvoy_zps4ff0cec2.gif.html)
Act I: Onslaught
"In a carefully planned series of attacks, the Warsaw Pact begins a war against NATO. Their goal is to seize West Germany, gutting NATO militarily and economically. The Soviets will demand a high price for Germany's return, or assimilate its industry and technology for their own use."
"Large scale strikes by Soviet Naval Aviation (SNA) on NATO port facilities and energy infrastructure slow reinforcements and disrupt transportation.
Spetsnaz attacks further disrupt transportation and communications lines. One group, landing in Norway, cuts a critical North-South reinforcement highway. Soviet forces, landing near Tromso, Norway, rapidly secure the northern third of the country, then head south.
Keflavik, Iceland, a vital base for maritime patrol aircraft and fighters as well as a SOSUS station, is pounded by land-attack SS-N-3s from Echo II-class SSGNs. Using a combination of fuel-air-explosive and persistent chemical warheads, this vital base is neutralized for the critical opening phase of the war. By the time it recovers, the Russians figure it won't matter.
The first few days of the war find the Soviets advancing through Europe and NATO reeling. Decision-makers in Washington, London, and Paris must decide whether or not to use nuclear weapons to redress the imbalance."
"The Battle of Reforger begins. Convoys carrying supplies and reinforcements to Europe are attacked by Soviet subs and SNA aircraft. Dozens of long-range aircraft launch high-altitude standoff missiles against warship formations and convoys. With one-ton high explosive warheads crashing into ships at supersonic speeds, one hit can sink almost any vessel. Fortunately, the initial Soviet attacks are poorly coordinated, which allow the convoy escorts the time they need to get organized.
The battle across the European plain is consuming men and material at a rate far in excess of all pre-war predictions. The Soviet 8th Guards Army has been relentless and NATO forces are nearing the breaking point. Reinforcements and re-supply are desperately needed. REFORGER units are flying in and marrying up with their pre-positioned assets. As more personnel assets reached Germany, they have been assigned piecemeal as replacements to units already in the field.
Soviet naval forces have concluded a series of attacks against NATO air installations in Iceland. It is not expected that Icelandic operations will be re-constituted in the near term. The Soviets have launched a pair of RORSats and now have significant surveillance capabilities. It should be expected that the Soviets would be aware of the location with a two hour delay of any NATO forces at sea.
SNA has been conducting naval strike operations from a number of airfields. Subordinated to the 5th Naval Air Reconnaissance Division (MRAD) are three long-range maritime strike regiments (MRAP). The 574th MRAP, a composite Tu-22M unit, has been operating from the Lakhta airfield near Arkhangel'sk. The 924th MRAP is operating its Tu-22Ms from the Olen'ya (Olenegorsk) airfield. The 987th MRAP is comprised solely of Tu-16s and flies from Severomorsk airdrome. Both Severomorsk and Olenegorsk are near Murmansk.
Multiple nuclear-powered submarines were reported by SOSUS before it went off-line. These contacts were in transit crossing the Norwegian Sea at high speed and will likely assume patrol stations along the convoy's expected line of advance. One Oscar SSGN was detected as well as a pair of Charlie II SSGNs."

1.0 SitRep:
The 24th Mechanized Division has been loaded aboard SL-7 fast cargo ships. They must reach the English Channel as quickly as possible. These ships are vital to the survival of the XVIII Corps and to the NATO line theatre-wide. Leyte Gulf and its task group (TG 20.41) are assigned to escort the first large convoy from the USA to Europe. SNA has not appeared yet and will likely attack in its full fury. Fighters are available, but a severe tanker shortage limits their numbers and their range. No significant airborne early warning assets are available.
Leyte Gulf and her consorts will be required to maintain their own radar coverage. The Saipan Amphibious Read Group (TG 22.1) and the 22nd Marine Amphibious Unit are vital to an upcoming operation. They must reach Great Britain intact. TG 22.1 will be sailing in the company of TG 20.4 for air defense support.
2.0 Intelligence:
Soviet Naval Aviation has not yet made its appearance, yet. Inclement weather over the Kola Peninsula has limited their operations. However, the weather has cleared and their presence will soon be felt.
3.0 Orders:
Ensure the safe arrival of both TGs 20.4 and 22.1 to RefPt UK.
Due to an upcoming operation, TG 20.4 must arrive at RefPt UK by 200000Z24May88 while TG 22.1 must arrive by 030000Z25May88. Upon arrival at RefPt UK, continue on towards the UK.
Detach AO Henry J. Kaiser from TG 20.4 and transfer it to TG 22.1 for the remainder of the journey.

This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".
"On the fifteenth, Turner used the Kennedy, supported by the French carrier Foch and NATO land-based aircraft flying from Sicily and southern Italy, to continue the aerial offensive against enemy bases along the northern coast of Libya. Italian and American ASW groups, and French, Italian, and American submarines screened the carriers and allied amphibious task forces from Soviet and Libyan submarines.
A five-frigate ASW task force screening the southern flank of the NATO forces bore the brunt of Libyan and Soviet attacks during the fifteenth."

"After a grueling week-long battle, the first reinforcement convoy arrives in England almost intact. Luckily, the Russian attacks are not well coordinated and the screen holds.
Rushed to the front, the reinforcements stabilize the situation, relieving NATO of having to use nuclear weapons. It does not give the West nearly enough strength to take the offensive.
Act II: The Hammer and Tongs
The Soviets are learning from their mistakes in the first week of the war, changing and refining their tactics. Later convoys have run into tougher opposition. They are also attacking Europe's transportation system, overloaded with supplies headed East and refugees headed West. It has begun to break down. The reinforcements and supplies, so desperately needed, pile up at the ports instead of reaching the front. These stockpiles are suffering at the hands of Soviet bombs and missiles."
"Another convoy is making the dangerous crossing. Opposition can be expected both from submarines and aircraft attacks from the Kola Peninsula."

10.0 Shadow - Interpretation of ROE

Sea of Dragons Battleset - Two Brothers - China invades Taiwan
China flexes its muscles with lots of exercises around Taiwan. Although diplomatic objections are raised by a number of nations, the exercises continue. Then, the PRC declares a maritime blockade: any ships entering the waters around Taiwan will be stopped and 'contraband' goods confiscated. 'Contraband' is loosely defined, but vessels carrying coal, oil, and LNG would appear to be favoured targets.
As coal, oil, and LNG stocks fall, the Taiwanese navy starts to escort convoys through the blockade zone. Then, something goes wrong. A convoy is intercepted and somebody fires on someone they shouldn't have. The PRC immediately launches an invasion fleet.
This scenario was inspired by the situation depicted in the Sea of Dragons publication from Clash of Arms.
1.0 SitRep:
The Politburo has decided that a display of maritime prowess is warranted to teach the Nationalists a lesson. With the USN increasingly absent from these waters, the blockade of Taiwan is possible and desirable. The PLA(N) will carry the torch of the revolution across the sea.

"NATO Command has decided to reduce the Soviet Boomer force by attrition to demonstrate resolve on the part of the alliance and to continue the fight even if the nuclear threshold is breached. Instead of deploying its ballistic missile subs into the open ocean or under the ice pack, the Soviets are holding them close, protecting them behind layers of surface ships, attack subs, and mine fields while planes from nearby bases fly top cover. This means the NATO submarine force has to stick its neck into the Bear's den to kill the boomers."

Sea of Dragons Battleset - Korean Standoff
A period of rising tension, sparked by the U.S. announcement for withdrawal of the 2nd Division, has characterized relations between North and South Korea. Border incursions by North Korean special forces have increased and several acts of terrorism, carried out in strategic cities (e.g. the destruction of Pusan's main railway signaling centre), have been identified as occurring under North Korean instructions. The rhetoric issuing from both governments has become increasingly bellicose. In order to show commitment, the U.S. has moved the 7th Fleet to the East China Sea and has sent across both ground reinforcements and munitions. Although a number of U.N. resolutions have been passed, condemning the belligerent moves, only the U.K. and the Australians offer more than vocal support. A U.K. Marine Commando is flown to Twenty-Nine Palms and two frigates sent from the Gulf. Australia offers a battalion of troops, a DDG, and two frigates.

With tension rising along the border, it has been deemed necessary to conduct an urgent re-supply/equipment transfer to the ROK division guarding the coast road. Many roads and highways are busy and it is believed that enemy saboteurs may strike at any time - especially at military convoys. As a result, seaborne re-supply has been chosen. This run is designed in part as an exercise to test seaborne re-supply capabilities.

The reinforcements and supplies, so desperately needed, pile up at the ports instead of reaching the front. These stockpiles are suffering at the hands of Soviet bombs and missiles."
"U.S. Navy plans in the 1980s were to meet the Soviet Northern Fleet head-on and hit the bases on the Kola Peninsula.
In 1980, there were limited numbers of PGMs (precision-guided munitions such as laser-guided bombs, high speed anti-radiation missiles and the like). None of the AEgis cruisers were in service yet.
By the late '80s, many of the weapons that made their appearance in the Gulf War were already in service in quantities needed to systematically take down an advanced air defense network and the installations that such a network tried to protect."
"Soviet Navy attacks on the convoys have hurt NATO badly. Fighting the Russians at sea is possible, but it is more productive to strike at the Soviet Navy's weak link -- its shore bases and support facilities. The Soviet Navy was designed as a "first salvo" force. In an extended campaign, their need to re-arm and repair (which they cannot do well at sea) makes their precious few shore bases an important target.
Using the bastion attacks as a distraction, two U.S. carriers have raced in to extreme range and will launch a single raid designed to destroy as much of the Northern Fleet's shore establishment as they can, short of using nuclear weapons."

A period of rising tension, sparked by the U.S. announcement for withdrawal of the 2nd Division, has characterized relations between North and South Korea. Border incursions by North Korean special forces have increased and several acts of terrorism, carried out in strategic cities (e.g. the destruction of Pusan's main railway signaling centre), have been identified as occurring under North Korean instructions. The rhetoric issuing from both governments has become increasingly bellicose. In order to show commitment, the U.S. has moved the 7th Fleet to the East China Sea and has sent across both ground reinforcements and munitions. Although a number of U.N. resolutions have been passed, condemning the belligerent moves, only the U.K. and the Australians offer more than vocal support. A U.K. Marine Commando is flown to Twenty-Nine Palms and two frigates sent from the Gulf. Australia offers a battalion of troops, a DDG, and two frigates.
This scenario was inspired by the situation depicted in the Sea of Dragons publication from Clash of Arms.
1.0 SitRep:
As part of the invasion plan for the Western Combined Army, a joint Marine and Special Forces regiment is to be inserted near the town of Sokch'o. The convoy will set out from Wonsan and will use darkness and the cover of the shoreline to achieve a safe transit. Contact with the enemy is to be avoided unless the safety of the transports is compromised.

04.0 The Fifty Yard Line
This is to announce the 4th Battleset of the Indochine Campaign, consisting of ten scenarios that occur during July-Aug of 2007.
As a stalemate begins to form across the world stage in the Indochine conflict, the balance of control is easily tipped one way or the other. Its first down, and ten to go at the fifty yard line. The question is, who has possession of the ball?

Operation Life Jacket
Central West and Northwest Pacific:
East of the Japanese Home Islands:
The Allies attempt running several groups of supply convoys past the Indochine blockade to bring food, arms and supplies to the beleaguered Japanese people and military. Amphibious Squadron 1 out of San Diego is shepherding this desperately needed care package.

"After a grueling week-long battle, the first reinforcement convoy arrives in England almost intact. Luckily, the Russian attacks are not well coordinated and the screen holds.
Rushed to the front, the reinforcements stabilize the situation, relieving NATO of having to use nuclear weapons. It does not give the West nearly enough strength to take the offensive.
Act II: The Hammer and Tongs
The Soviets are learning from their mistakes in the first week of the war, changing and refining their tactics. Later convoys have run into tougher opposition. They are also attacking Europe's transportation system, overloaded with supplies headed East and refugees headed West. It has begun to break down. The reinforcements and supplies, so desperately needed, pile up at the ports instead of reaching the front. These stockpiles are suffering at the hands of Soviet bombs and missiles."
"The Soviet 1st Guards Army has made significant progress in their Norwegian campaign. Soviet air operations have been less than successful in stopping the Norwegian defense force from re-deploying south around Narvik. Soviet naval forces have made several attempts to blockade the southern sea-lanes, but RAF strike operations have managed to drive them back to the north. These sea lines are vital to future operations and must be protected at all costs. De-ciphered Soviet communications indicate the Soviets expect a large-scale withdrawal of Norwegian forces.
SACEur has determined that the best way to slow the Soviet advance on the European continent is to make a stand in Norway and force the Soviets to re-direct forces meant to support the Central Front.
The U.S. 24th Mechanized division is being unloaded in Wilhelmshaven, Germany. CentAG is holding the line, but just barely. The success of the Norwegian campaign is vital to the defense of Europe as a whole. If the Soviets are able to re-deploy the forces now operating in Norway, it is likely that NATO forces will be forced to give ground. All efforts must be made to support the Norwegian campaign.
The U.S. Navy had planned to provide an aircraft carrier to support the upcoming operation, but a disagreement between USS Theodore Roosevelt and a rock off Scapa Flow was won by the rock. TR is in dry-dock for the duration of this operation. Air support will be available from CVW-8, TR's air group operating from shore installations in northern UK.
SACEur believes that Soviet ground forces have been consuming supplies at a rapid rate. Co-ordinated air strikes against key transportation and logistical targets have aggravated their supply situation. A small group of tankers and supply ships have been photographed loading at the port of Murmansk. Its destination is unknown, but should be considered a high value target.
The Red Banner Northern Fleet appears to be focused on its Icelandic operations. Most major air and naval forces have been assigned to that operation in the assumption that the Norwegian operation is all but over.
The Baltic Fleet has remained stuck there, trying to force their way through the minefields. It is possible that a surface strike group may attempt to break out accomplishing both a flanking high-speed missile attack and a reinforcement of the Red Banner Northern Fleet. The Baltic Fleet has deployed a number of its SSKs that you are likely to encounter in the shallow waters off the Norwegian coast.
The pace of Soviet tactical air operations has also diminished over the last 24 hours. It is believed that a shortage of anti-radiation missiles have made the cost of penetrating Norwegian air defense too high."
This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "High Tide" compilation from Clash of Arms.

Sea of Dragons Battleset - Two Brothers - China invades Taiwan
China flexes its muscles with lots of exercises around Taiwan. Although diplomatic objections are raised by a number of nations, the exercises continue. Then, the PRC declares a maritime blockade: any ships entering the waters around Taiwan will be stopped and 'contraband' goods confiscated. 'Contraband' is loosely defined, but vessels carrying coal, oil, and LNG would appear to be favoured targets.
As coal, oil, and LNG stocks fall, the Taiwanese navy starts to escort convoys through the blockade zone. Then, something goes wrong. A convoy is intercepted and somebody fires on someone they shouldn't have. The PRC immediately launches an invasion fleet.

"In a carefully planned series of attacks, the Warsaw Pact begins a war against NATO. Their goal is to seize West Germany, gutting NATO militarily and economically. The Soviets will demand a high price for Germany's return, or assimilate its industry and technology for their own use."
"Large scale strikes by Soviet Naval Aviation (SNA) on NATO port facilities and energy infrastructure slow reinforcements and disrupt transportation.
Spetsnaz attacks further disrupt transportation and communications lines. One group, landing in Norway, cuts a critical North-South reinforcement highway. Soviet forces, landing near Tromso, Norway, rapidly secure the northern third of the country, then head south.
Keflavik, Iceland, a vital base for maritime patrol aircraft and fighters as well as a SOSUS station, is pounded by land-attack SS-N-3s from Echo II-class SSGNs. Using a combination of fuel-air-explosive and persistent chemical warheads, this vital base is neutralized for the critical opening phase of the war. By the time it recovers, the Russians figure it won't matter.
The first few days of the war find the Soviets advancing through Europe and NATO reeling. Decision-makers in Washington, London, and Paris must decide whether or not to use nuclear weapons to redress the imbalance."
"The first major convoy, escorted by a group led by USS Leyte Gulf, has left the United States enroute to Germany. SNA strike regiments have mounted a number of small-scale operations without success. Naval intelligence has positioned assets to predict the time before the Soviets attempt a full-scale strike on the vital convoy."
1.0 SitRep:
Soviet Naval Aviation has exacted a heavy toll from NATO shipping. NATO has replied in turn by attacking SNA bases on the Kola Peninsula. One such attack severely damaged Shagui.
This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "Battles of the Third World War" compilation from Game Designers' Workshop.

10.1 Kola Strike [1988]

The reinforcements and supplies, so desperately needed, pile up at the ports instead of reaching the front. These stockpiles are suffering at the hands of Soviet bombs and missiles."
"U.S. Navy plans in the 1980s were to meet the Soviet Northern Fleet head-on and hit the bases on the Kola Peninsula.
In 1980, there were limited numbers of PGMs (precision-guided munitions such as laser-guided bombs, high speed anti-radiation missiles and the like). None of the AEgis cruisers were in service yet.
By the late '80s, many of the weapons that made their appearance in the Gulf War were already in service in quantities needed to systematically take down an advanced air defense network and the installations that such a network tried to protect."
"Soviet Navy attacks on the convoys have hurt NATO badly. Fighting the Russians at sea is possible, but it is more productive to strike at the Soviet Navy's weak link -- its shore bases and support facilities. The Soviet Navy was designed as a "first salvo" force. In an extended campaign, their need to re-arm and repair (which they cannot do well at sea) makes their precious few shore bases an important target.
Using the bastion attacks as a distraction, two U.S. carriers have raced in to extreme range and will launch a single raid designed to destroy as much of the Northern Fleet's shore establishment as they can, short of using nuclear weapons."

http://img39.imageshack.us/img39/2621/tradee.th.gif (http://img39.imageshack.us/my.php?image=tradee.gif)
It did not take long for the full import of the U.S. withdrawal from the Philippines to become apparent. U.S. presence declined in the South China Sea and this allowed other navies greater freedom. The PLA(Navy), under strict orders from Beijing, stepped up its patrols around the Spratley archipelago. The Vietnamese and the Philippines vigorously protested this action, but not much was done to help them. By 1998, the Chinese felt confident enough to make a determined push for the whole of the island chain. By controlling the Spratleys, the PLA(Navy) would be in position to threaten busy shipping routes; the forces assigned there would also cover the Chinese invasion of the Philippines. Once the Philippines had fallen, no one would be able to oust the Chinese from their sea.
Much was carried out to ensure the smooth running of the initial stages of the operation. Vietnam was bribed into hamstringing the ASEAN response and the Philippine communist insurgency was expanded and financed by the PRC. Chinese Special Forces were clandestinely inserted to advise the guerrillas. All that was needed was a spark.

Coco Crispies
Bay of Bengal / Myanmar / W Indonesia;
Coco (Keeling) Islands:
Indian and Indonesian naval forces have landed a sizable force on the Cocos (Keeling) Islands. All communication is severed with the Australian mainland, and work has begun on expanding the air facilities. These strategically positioned outposts will prove invaluable to the Indochine Alliance. They can disrupt shipping throughout all of the East Indian Ocean.
Two multi-national submarine squadrons are tasked with getting SpecOps on the islands for intel; and upon completion, they are invited to fire off some cruise missiles as a parting gift to disrupt the Indochine construction.

The 20th NEW Indochine Campaign Scenario
Operation McHale
S. Central and Central Pacific/Solomons:
Coral Sea:
The US, French and Australian navies conduct a joint invasion to take back New Caledonia and Vanuatu. These Indochine bases provide a southern buffer for the enemy's large force concentration north, in the Solomons.
Due to this proximity, any Allied offensive operation aimed at driving north into New Guinea, the Coral Sea and the Solomons could prove to be a dangerous gambit while a well-supplied and determined enemy based in New Caledonia and Vanuatu threaten the Allied flank. Additionally, these air bases and ports are heavily defended by extensive air and surface forces.
Having said that, the necessity of neutralizing these bases outweighs the risks involved. It's a green light for Operation McHale.

"After a grueling week-long battle, the first reinforcement convoy arrives in England almost intact. Luckily, the Russian attacks are not well coordinated and the screen holds.
Rushed to the front, the reinforcements stabilize the situation, relieving NATO of having to use nuclear weapons. It does not give the West nearly enough strength to take the offensive.
Act II: The Hammer and Tongs
The Soviets are learning from their mistakes in the first week of the war, changing and refining their tactics. Later convoys have run into tougher opposition. They are also attacking Europe's transportation system, overloaded with supplies headed East and refugees headed West. It has begun to break down. The reinforcements and supplies, so desperately needed, pile up at the ports instead of reaching the front. These stockpiles are suffering at the hands of Soviet bombs and missiles."
"The Northern Fleet SNA has become entirely too successful in its efforts to disrupt the Atlantic convoys. Some convoys have barely made it across at all and 50% casualties have become commonplace amongst the merchant ships. The merchant mariner unions have lodged formal notice that unless the situation improves drastically and quickly, they will no longer sail."
This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "High Tide" compilation from Clash of Arms.

1.0 SitRep:
Northern Fleet SNA has been wildly successful in their attacks on NATO convoys. Some convoys barely survived with 50% casualties.
2.0 Intelligence:
Sources within western trade unions such as the merchant marine report significant dissent amongst members due to the high level of losses sustained from SNA strikes. Fifty percent casualties amongst convoy participants has become commonplace. The merchant mariner unions have lodged formal complaints and given notice that unless the situation improves drastically and quickly, they will no longer sail.
NATO has already acted upon this protest and launched a moderately successful TLAM strike at Shagui airfield.
3.0 Orders:
You are the commander of Hammerfest Area Defense Forces. Your mission is to prevent NATO submarines from approaching the coast and launching TLAM at the motherland. Only the best NATO submarines have this ability. Your patrol sector stretches between RefPt Alpha and Beta into the coast.

Sea of Dragons Battleset - The Chinese Sea
It did not take long for the full import of the U.S. withdrawal from the Philippines to become apparent. U.S. presence declined in the South China Sea and this allowed other navies greater freedom. The PLA(Navy), under strict orders from Beijing, stepped up its patrols around the Spratley archipelago. The Vietnamese and the Philippines vigorously protested this action, but not much was done to help them. By 1998, the Chinese felt confident enough to make a determined push for the whole of the island chain. By controlling the Spratleys, the PLA(Navy) would be in position to threaten busy shipping routes; the forces assigned there would also cover the Chinese invasion of the Philippines. Once the Philippines had fallen, no one would be able to oust the Chinese from their sea.Much was carried out to ensure the smooth running of the initial stages of the operation. Vietnam was bribed into hamstringing the ASEAN response and the Philippine communist insurgency was expanded and financed by the PRC. Chinese Special Forces were clandestinely inserted to advise the guerrillas. All that was needed was a spark.
This scenario was inspired by the situation depicted in the Sea of Dragons publication from Clash of Arms.

The 21st NEW Indochine Campaign Scenario
Operation Pegleg
Southwest and Central Pacific:
Papua/New Guinea/East Australia:
The Coral Sea:
As the Allies find success in liberating New Caledonia and Vanuatu, they now feel their eastern flank is secure enough to enable a commencement of offensive operations against enemy forces in New Guinea. Additionally, Townsville and Mackay have managed to remain intact as operable air bases after months of withering bombing raids by Indochine air forces out of Rabaul, Honiara and Port Moresby.
It is therefore determined by Allied Command that any operation to take New Guinea must start with an invasion of Port Moresby, and it must take place now. A major cyclone is predicted to hit the Coral Sea in about 72 hours. If we can neutralize enemy forces at Port Moresby and Samarai, land our forces and supplies, and secure a beachhead in 24 hours, that will allow enough time to withdraw all naval assets back to the northern coast of Australia and be secure before the storm hits.
If we cannot achieve this and have to postpone the invasion until a later date, there is every possibility that the enemy with have reinforced these bases, making the success of a future landing dubious.
Australian, British and American forces, assembled from several points along the Australian east coast, meet up and head through the Coral Sea towards the Gulf of Papua against a determined defense from Indochine air, surface and subsurface forces.

5.0 The Gibraltar Question
"With the loss of Hong Kong to mainland China, the fortunes of the British Empire appeared to be waning. At such times, profiteers often choose to strike.
Spain has long been aggrieved over the British base at Gibraltar. Attempts to eject the British have always met with failure. But the heyday of the Royal Navy was perceived to have 'passed' by those within the Spanish government. Spain will not attack 'The Rock', itself. It is too well defended. But all defenders must eat and a blockade was imposed around the British bastion.
Commercial traffic in and out of the Mediterranean Sea was closely escorted by Spanish warships, but any British-flagged vessel was turned back. British warships were forbidden to enter Spanish territorial waters and British aircraft could not enter Spanish airspace.
The United Kingdom reacted violently and a flight of fighters sent to reinforce the base was shot down. While British diplomats grope for a peaceful answer at the U.N., the Royal Navy sought a different solution."

Sea of Dragons Battleset - Two Brothers - China invades Taiwan
China flexes its muscles with lots of exercises around Taiwan. Although diplomatic objections are raised by a number of nations, the exercises continue. Then, the PRC declares a maritime blockade: any ships entering the waters around Taiwan will be stopped and 'contraband' goods confiscated. 'Contraband' is loosely defined, but vessels carrying coal, oil, and LNG would appear to be favoured targets.
As coal, oil, and LNG stocks fall, the Taiwanese navy starts to escort convoys through the blockade zone. Then, something goes wrong. A convoy is intercepted and somebody fires on someone they shouldn't have. The PRC immediately launches an invasion fleet.
This scenario was inspired by the situation depicted in the Sea of Dragons publication from Clash of Arms.

The 22nd NEW Indochine Campaign Scenario
Cat and Mouse
Southwest Asia:
The Mideast:
Arabian Sea and the Persian Gulf:
Iran and India begin a series of attacks on the Pakistani coastline in an attempt to keep US forces busy in the Persian Gulf and the Arabian Sea - and away from Indochine activity at Diego Garcia and the Seychelles. It is a calculated gamble to harass neutral Pakistan without pushing them into entering the war on the Allied side.
For the Pakistanis, it is not desirable to start hostilities with it's neighbor, India. The nuclear option is simply too unthinkable an alternative. They can only respond in a defensive manner while hoping that US forces in the area will "volunteer" their aid. The alternative would be to formally ask the Allies for assistance, and that would break their neutrality and thus devolve them into a war of which they want no part.
This is precisely what the ranking Indochine planners are counting on - to keep the Allies tied up in the west Indian Ocean by playing this dangerous game of cat and mouse.

At sea, reinforcement convoys have become vital prizes, to be protected or destroyed. Soviet strategy did not anticipate a long war and made no plans for a sustained campaign in the North Atlantic. Now forced to do so, Soviet attack subs and aircraft must operate at extreme range in an ocean ringed with hostile bases."
"Long-range Soviet naval aviation has been a powerful force for the Soviets, interfering with NATO convoys and thus reducing NATO's efforts to reinforce and support the ground war in Europe. NATO has made the removal of the SNA bomber force a top priority."

The 23nd NEW Indochine Campaign Scenario
Incan Blood
Western Hemisphere;
South America, Northern Coast of Chile:
As tensions begin to increase between rival factions in South America, even the smallest actions can bring on the strongest reactions. Nowhere on this continent is it more applicable than between Chile and Peru - two countries with a long and complicated history.
The two countries were at one time very strong allies. Chile aided Peru in the Peruvian War of Independence. Later, Chile helped reunite North and South Peru in the War of Confederation.
It was during the War of the Pacific, where Chile and Bolivia began a conflict over taxes levied on Chilean mines in the northern area around the then Bolivian coastal city of Antofagasta, that a rift began between Peru and Chile. A secret defense pact with Bolivia drew Peru into conflict with their former ally, and it all ended with Chile winning the day. Bolivia lost its coastline, becoming landlocked; and Peru lost a friend.
Even today this area remains a hotly contested area, as each of these countries have chosen opposite sides in this present day conflict. Ecuador, being a fellow client state of the Indochine Alliance, has joined Peru in its endeavors. Bolivia remains neutral but sources confirm it is rife with enemy agents

1.0 SitRep:
The Thai fleet has set sail for the disputed region. This fleet is believed to be aiming for a rendezvous with other ASEAN fleets. A combined task force would be difficult to attack successfully, so it has been decided to attack the elements separately and sequentially.
The picture is much clearer now that ASEAN has thrown back its cloak of deceit. Indonesian and Malaysian forces met at a rendezvous point and are now heading north. They must be stopped from linking up with the Royal Thai Navy.

A French carrier battle group is assigned to convoy escort duty, reflecting both their increased value and the concerns of the merchant mariners.
Almost as soon as the convoy is clear of the continental air defense zone, it is attacked by SNA, but using new and imaginative tactics. French fighter pilots fly near-continuous patrols against reconnaissance aircraft, bombers, and the long-range, high-altitude missiles they fire.

The 24th NEW Indochine Campaign Scenario
Indian Ocean Alamo
Indian Ocean: West Indian Ocean/E Africa
Port Louis, Mauritius;
Temporary HQ of Allied Combined Forces -
Indian Ocean Command
The Allied forces that have found refuge in the Comoros, Mauritius and Reunion Islands are now under constant bombardment by long-range strikes from the Seychelles and Diego Garcia. Newly won from the Allies, these 2 bases are the Indochine hammer to drive out any foreign presence in the Indian Ocean.
The mess in the Arabian Sea and Persian Gulf has tied up most US capital assets that are presently helping Pakistan fend off Indochine jabs. The Allies in Mauritius and Le Reunion must hold on and make their final stand with what they have in the islands.
If we lose these positions, we lose our southern flank and the ability to wage war in the Indian Ocean - and that would ultimately deny us access to the Persian Gulf and oil. Like those famous Texans, who fought to the last man in a battle over 170 years ago, this will be a final stand - The Indian Ocean Alamo.

The 25th NEW Indochine Campaign Scenario
The Battle of Beagle Gulf
The Timor Sea
Northwest Australia / Indonesia / S E Asia
Darwin and the Beagle Gulf:
After holding out and maintaining basic operational functions, Darwin hopes to get the relief they need. Allied task groups approach to engage the Indochine naval blockade that has kept this northwest Australian outpost under siege.
The gamble, however, is whether the Indochine carrier that so vexed the defenders of Darwin is still lurking in the Timor Sea. For the Allies, maintaining a secure base at Darwin provides a staging area for future operations up into the Indochine underbelly.
This humble base, on the far edges of the Allied domain, is a very important key to striking at the Indochine beast. The enemy knows it, which explains why they've tried to break it; and we know it, which is why we must defend it and hold it at all costs.

"The Russian economy, stressed by the demands of war, confirms its leaders' worst fears. Economists tell the Defense Council that unless the war is a short, victorious one, the economy will collapse."
Act III: Battle Chess
"Exhausted by the furious pace of combat and the horrific losses, both sides are forced to re-evaluate their basic strategies. Fuel and ammunition are being consumed at fantastic rates, confirming the most pessimistic peacetime estimates.
At sea, reinforcement convoys have become vital prizes, to be protected or destroyed. Soviet strategy did not anticipate a long war and made no plans for a sustained campaign in the North Atlantic. Now forced to do so, Soviet attack subs must operate at extreme range in an ocean ringed with hostile bases."
"Mines have always been an important method of slowing a naval force and restricting its movements. They have sunk their share of ships, but a mine's greater effect is the effort the enemy has to exert to continue his operations. A suspected minefield has to be investigated by specialist mine-hunting and -sweeping forces. Once the mined area is located, it has to either be swept or avoided. If the area cannot be avoided, the area is closed until it can be swept. Both sides expect the other to mine their ports and other restricted waters. How well they are prepared for that event is another story."
Duration: 24 hours
This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "High Tide" compilation from Clash of Arms.This scenario was written for the PlayersDB

SSSSSS 010000Z24Jul88 SSSSSS
1.0 SitRep:
Even though the major portion of the Soviet Red Banner Northern Fleet has sortied from its bases, once a vessel has expended its ammunition, it has to return to port to re-arm. This is especially true for the vessels armed with the large, ship-killing surface-to-surface missiles such as the Oscar PLARKs, Kirov, Slava, and Kresta I RKRs and Sovremennyy EMs. The initial series of battles have caused much of the Soviet Navy to now need re-supply.
2.0 Intelligence:
Several Soviet ships have been photographed enroute to Murmansk.
3.0 Orders:
NATO high command orders the Northern Fleet port entrances to be mined. One such field is the inlet leading to Murmansk.
Penetrate Soviet waters and lay a minefield of twenty Submarine-Launched Mobile Mines (SLMM). Withdraw from the area without being detected. Do not engage Soviet vessels within 10nm of the mined area to avoid drawing attention to your presence on a mining operation. It will take 1 hour within the mine area to lay the weapons.
The French submarine, Rubis, will be in support and is available to draw attention away from Providence.
4.0 Rules of Engagement:
Warning level Red, Weapons Free
Avoid engagement with Soviet vessels within 10nm of the mined area.
Special weapons NOT <<repeat>> NOT authorized. Report all first use of CBR weapons to NCA via Flash protocol.

The 26th NEW Indochine Campaign Scenario
26 Hunters of the Deep
West Europe/West Med/Western Hemisphere;
South & Central Atlantic/West Africa;
Cape Verde;
Indochine "Wolfpacks" lie in wait off the west coast of Africa, south of Cape Verde. They have been preying on Allied shipping running convoys south from West Europe and North America. These vital shipments are headed to navigate around the Cape of Good Hope (The Cape to well-travelled sailors) to supply Allied forces retrenched on Reunion, Mauritius and the Comorros Islands.
The number of Allied sinkings in this troublesome spot has not been lost on Allied Command. Knowing that this threat needs to be eliminated, the Allies cobble together an ASW hunting party from US, Spanish and French units that are overworked, undermanned and in need of repairs. Despite these negatives, the forces are out to get some payback!

End of 4th Battleset – “The Fifty Yard Line”
This scenario, “Express West Pt 1”, is the twenty seventh scenario and the last of the fourth battleset – “The Fifty Yard Line”. The next battleset of the Indochine Campaign is “The Flickering Flame”. With luck and some hard work, I will come out with the first scenario(s) sometime later this year with a projected series of 6 scenarios. I hope you check in and play.

A NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers. All it took to bring him out of hiding was an actual war!
Odessa
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/odessa_FbE.jpg (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/odessa_FbE.jpg)
1.0 Long-awaited invasion
A Russian Amphibious force left their bases in the Baltic Sea in late January 2022. Observed by NATO units, they passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and then the Bosporus; ostensibly on their way to exercises with the Russian Northern, Pacific, and Black Sea Fleets.
After the Russians attacked Ukraine on February 26th, it was expected that this force could dilute the Ukrainian defences. However, as air superiority was not achieved by the Russians, two months after departing their bases, the Amphibious Force was still at sea, and conditions aboard became terrible.
Russian high command finally decided to use the force to open up a corridor to Odessa, the last major city not attacked.
Scenario duration: 24 hours
Scenario was written for the PlayersDB on March 9, 2022 by Freek Schepers
For best results, this scenario should be played with Aircraft Logistics activated and Nuclear Weapons enabled.

MiGs
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/migs_2Hi.jpg (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/migs_2Hi.jpg)
2.0 Air superiority
As the Russian invasion in Ukraine progressed, observers were surprised at the absence of the Russian air force. No serious attempt was made to destroy the Ukrainian air force on the ground. While attacks with SRBMs were severe, the Russian air force seemed to refrain from using its most modern PGMs.
As a result, the Ukrainian armed forces were able to establish a stronghold in the Carpathian mountains and maintain their ability to attack Russian units from the air.
NATO moved some units East, worried about the Russian combat power apparently held in reserve. EU countries wanted to go all out in defence of Ukraine, and when the US did not give access to its Ramstein AFB for a hair- brained scheme to supply MiG 29s to Ukraine, Europe found another route...
Scenario duration: 15 hours
For best results, this scenario should be played with Aircraft Logistics activated and Nuclear Weapons enabled. Scenarios is multi-player capable.

Bridges
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/bridges2_US7.jpg (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/bridges2_US7.jpg)
3.0 Bridges
More than a month into Putin's invasion of Ukraine, it is clear that the Russian army was not ready for a long operation. Losses to supply units, the enormous cost of urban warfare, and the muddy roads and fields from rising temperatures have stopped the Russian advance and made it impossible to supply the long front.
Russia has decided on a new strategy - to withdraw a large part of its forces from Northern Ukraine and use these to strengthen the attacks in the East and South.
Scenario duration: 4 hours
For best results, this scenario should be played with Aircraft Logistics activated and Nuclear Weapons enabled.

A fifth NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers.
5.0 Cold Response
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/response_98N.gif (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/response_98N.gif)
Putin's "Ruble rule" went into effect April 1st, 2022. This coincided with a severe cold snap in Northern Europe. EU countries refused to pay for Russian gas in rubles and, on April 15th, the gas supply through Ukraine and through Nordstream 1 was shut down by Russia. Finland and Sweden, not in NATO - cancelled gas contracts with Russia and Finland stopped keeping the sea-lane through the Gulf of Finland to St. Petersburg free of ice. Lithuania closed down all transport through its road and rail system to Kaliningrad as well.
Both sides had prepared for the gas pipeline closures to some extent - Russia already in December 2021 parked two LNG tankers in Kaliningrad, and thereby offset the immediate effect of the closure of the pipeline that supplied the enclave through Lithuania with natural gas. Lithuania and part of EU had set up LNG supply by tankers from the USA, but both measures could not compensate for the closed pipelines. At the conclusion of NATO exercise "Cold Response", NATO moved most of the trained naval forces into the Baltic Sea.
Russia counts on its hypersonic missiles and nuclear deterrent to make NATO back down. NATO saw their superiority in stealth planes as a factor that would make Russia think twice about using force.
Then Sweden and Finland scheduled parliamentary votes on joining NATO.
Scenario duration: 12 hours
For best results, this scenario should be played with Aircraft Logistics activated and Nuclear Weapons enabled.

A sixth NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers.
6.0 An Die Schnoe Blaue Donau
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/donau_rbo.jpg
As Putin's war went into its 4th month, the world's interest came upon the 20 million tons of Ukrainian grain stored and the upcoming grain harvest. Russia blocked all Ukrainian harbours and over 300 merchant ships were stuck in Black Sea ports. Russia suggested that any ship transporting grain from Ukraine should stop at Snake Island to be inspected for war contraband. Ukraine, however, requested friendly navies guarantee freedom of navigation from Odessa to the Bosporus; across Ukrainian and International waters. Politically, this is much more acceptable for NATO than enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukrainian airspace, but the Montreux agreements banned any passage of warships through the Bosporous into the Black Sea during time of war. Enforced by Turkey, this has helped keep the Russian fleet out of the Black Sea since March.The alternative route for warships to reach the Black Sea is through the Rhine, Rhine/Danube-channel, and the Danube, but it is limited to ships under 190 meters length, 10 meter beam, and only 3 meters depth. The UK and US Blue-water navies have virtually no suitable warships within those constraints. NATO, however, managed to put together a fleet of smaller Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, French, and German ships. In four days, these ships sailed from Rotterdam to Constanta. The next leg was North to Odessa, where dozens of merchant ships were waiting for clearance from their insurance companies to sail.

Has there ever been a Harpoon3 scenario featuring a B-70 Valkyrie? I noticed that this platform is included in DB2000.
A seventh NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers.
7.0 Operation Z
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/oper_z_o2h.jpg
It is 5 months into Putin's War. The war is turning into a high-tech version of WW1.
Russia is suffering from sanctions and its army is severely depleted. Ukraine occasionally scores successes behind the front using NATO weapons. The possibility exists that Russian reserves might be mobilised, and that might cause internal unrest in a country, until now, has been indifferent to the war.
With no end in sight, both countries review their options.

8.0 Operation Vengeance
https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/vengeanc_J8E.jpg (https://www.subsim.com/radioroom/downloads/vengeanc_J8E.jpg)
The explosion of Nuclear weapons over Ukraine and Russia drove the world into crisis.
Putin claimed Ukraine exploded a nuclear bomb over its own territory, as a pretext to destroy Kaliningrad with an acquired nuclear bomb, dropped from a Su-24 Fencer.
Zelenski pointed out that Ukraine did not have nuclear weapons, and accused Putin of nuking its own citizens and contaminating the Baltic as a pretext to nuke Ivano-Frankish airport in Ukraine.
American and Chinese samples taking from the radioactive clouds indicated all exploded weapons were of Soviet origin.
From Russia's perspective, Ukraine now has a credible nuclear deterrent, while the Americans think only Russia used nukes and should be made to stop......
It is suggested to play NATO side first, Ukraine second, and Russia last.
