Using only official releases is probably very prudent given the higher level of problems associated with the experimental beta releases. (Yes, things can actually get worse than the 200+ list of problems currently exhibited by the official releases.) :damn: |
I love the fact that they're finally putting boarding and takeover into the sim. That's something that I've felt has been seriously missing from computer Harpoon that's present in the miniatures rules. Now, we're going to be able to do drug runner hunts, Piracy, and Homeland Security search and siesure ! :DL
IF they don't screw it up somehow. |

Bingo. They claim that they are adding that feature. That does not necessarily mean that it works or doesn't somehow bugger up something else. From their past record, they have not been able to add a single new feature without an accompanying disastrous bug. i.e. Underway Replenishment, Multi-player, Ballistic Bomb Trajectories to name a few :nope: |
Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB
The 1st NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Beachhead Breakout Almost a week after the initial landings on San Carlos, UK forces broke out of their beachhead. 2nd Para captured Goose Green in a daring raid and 42 Commando started moving east towards Port Stanley while 5th Infantry Brigade was being unloaded and supplied. A severe weather front forced most amphibious ships to withdraw to open seas and grounded all air operations. Most troops on the ground saw this as a much-needed interruption from the continuous Argentine air attacks.

The 14th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! A Tale of Two Carriers - Part 2 This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was". "The French Navy was at full alert status. On 13 July, the commander-in-chief of the Mediterranean fleet VADM Jean-Claude Ricaud, had raised his flag aboard the aged carrier, Foch at Toulon. Several submarines and destroyers had already deployed to the south. The Soviet submarine campaign in the Western Mediterranean began promisingly enough at 0345 when a Kilo-class diesel boat torpedoed the French destroyer Aconit off the north coast of Sardinia."

The 15th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Ambush Soviet Attack on a NATO Carrier Battle Group NATO intends to reinforce Iceland's defenses by stationing a carrier battle group in the area. Once the carrier arrives, the combination of forces at Iceland will be almost impossible to penetrate. The Soviets want to prevent this and feel that they must sink the carrier before it reaches Iceland.

The 20th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Brawl Major Convoy Battle, NATO Controls Keflavik A slow-moving convoy from Norfolk to Portsmouth is to be escorted by NATO forces. For NATO, the importance of getting supplies, men, and material to Europe cannot be overstated. For the Soviets, it is just as important to prevent these supplies from reaching their destination.

The 22nd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Independence Day On May 25th, Argentina's Independence day, the Argentine Air Force made another all-out attack on the amphibious ships in Falkland Sound. The near suicidal bravery of the Argentine pilots had sunk Sheffield and Ardent, and hit Argonaut, Glasgow, Antrim, Brilliant, and Broadsword with bombs that failed to explode. The BBC broadcast a review last night which included the statement that many bombs did not explode as their arming wires were too short for the altitudes from which they were dropped. Argentine armourers are sure to be resolving this problem. The British also started to realise that a great deal of planning preceded each Argentine attack and that Exocet missiles were generally aimed at Carriers while planes armed with bombs and rockets sought out Amphibs and warships. Decoy flights designed to draw CAP away from target areas are also employed by the FAA.

The 23rd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! The Southern Crossing After the fall of Keflavik, NATO is forced to change its strategy of re-supplying Europe. The convoys will face more opposition from Soviet air and submarine units and must consequently take a more southerly route. Because the U.S. and Great Britain must devote more forces to neutralizing the new Soviet base and protecting Scotland, the French and Spanish are now forced to take greater responsibility protecting the NATO convoys.

The 24th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Rapier NATO fears the overwhelming power of Soviet cruise missile attacks launched from long-range land-based bombers. Most of these bombers are concentrated in a relatively few airfields on the Kola Peninsula. This fact is not lost on NATO planners. The Soviets can expect NATO to attack these airfields with cruise missile-equipped submarines in an attempt to disrupt Soviet attacks on NATO shipping.

The 28th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Mid-Atlantic By mid-May, frantic preparations had been made for the amphibious landings on the Falklands. 5th Infantry Brigade had left Southampton on the QEII May 11th with her equipment being carried on the Baltic Ferry. Forty RFA and merchant ships sailed south to support the fleet. The key strategic asset was Ascension Island; used to launch the Vulcan Black Buck missions, cross-deck and train troops, and to replenish ships. The ships and troops needed to sail south at maximum speed to support the fleet and the upcoming amphibious landings.

The 30th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Shetland Squabble As fish populations collapsed around the world due to overfishing, nations began to come into conflict. Some nations were not overly careful about whether or no they strayed into some other nation's fisheries or territorial waters. In the last few months, Norwegian fishing boats have violated British waters. The British government intends to send a strong message. The British task commander is ordered to capture or sink Norwegian fishing boats found north of the Shetland Islands. The task force is currently south of the Shetland Islands.

The 33rd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Forced Issue High Speed Convoy Battle Large high-speed merchant ships are extremely valuable to the NATO re-supply effort.

The 34th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Northern Aggression "Waves of ultra-nationalism have swept through Russia with the disappearance of President Yeltsin. Sources at the Kremlin claim all is well, but anxiety and chaos run rampant in the streets. The Military, long without pay and in despair over massive civil unrest, steps into the power vacuum and takes control. Realizing that tan external enemy will give focus to the passions of the mob, territorial claims over disputed boundaries with Poland are pursued. Germany, not comfortable with a growing militant Russia, has volunteered to assist Poland. The Polish Army stands ready to meet any threat, but the Polish Navy, without Soviet assistance, lies in disrepair and is unable to sortie more than a handful of ships. Under the guise that the economy will improve if better natural resources are obtained and that the land in dispute with Poland is rich in such resources, the Russian Navy begins to encroach upon Polish waters. Realizing that the line must be drawn before it is too late, Germany declares a 'do not enter' zone 25nm around the coast of Poland. While the Russians are wary of such an ultimatum, a quick victory will help with matters at home (so will a defeat, but Russia cannot afford to lose the ships). The German government cannot run the risk of being exposed for providing direct military support and is expected not to intervene."

The 37th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! The Night Before the Day After A crisis has developed between the Soviet Union and the West. The politico-military leadership of both sides is fearful of the threat posed by the other side's ballistic missile submarines. In an attempt to limit the damage to their homelands in a strategic nuclear exchange, orders have gone out to the nuclear attack submarines to destroy all hostile ballistic missile submarines immediately.

The 38th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! David and Goliath 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." "The Soviet Union, battered by a series of economic disasters, has demanded substantial economic assistance from NATO and the USA. If not, it threatens, "it cannot be responsible for the peace and stability of Europe." The corrupt old men in the Kremlin expect that either way, they will win: Either they get the aid they need to stave off collapse, or they will launch an attack on NATO. They have already started a program of propaganda inside their borders, blaming all their troubles on a deliberate program of economic strangulation, all orchestrated by the West. The implied threat has not been lost on NATO, and while negotiators frantically try to satisfy almost impossible Russian demands, the military frantically mobilizes. The Soviet Defense Council has decided that the Geneva conferences are an attempt by NATO to buy time while it further tightens its economic stranglehold on the Soviet Union. Offensive operations against NATO, before they are fully mobilized, now offer the only way to alter the correlation of forces and break the economic conspiracy."

The 39th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year! Middleweights Past Japanese militarism and colonial rule has continued to strain relations with its neighbours, most notably, South Korea. One of the principal disputes between them has been over territorial claims to a pair of tiny rocky islets that lie almost mid-way between them in the Sea of Japan, know as Dokdo in the ROK and Takeshima in Japan. These desolate rocks sit in rich deepwater fishing grounds and above unexploited energy reserves potentially worth billions. Past threats by Japan to conduct a survey of the area, presumably in preparation for drilling efforts, have been met by South Korea sending reinforcements to shore up its Coast Guard presence there. Persistent North Korean hostility has only served to aggravate the tension between the South and Japan. The South has consistently refused to join in enforcing tough sanctions against the DPRK, frustrating Tokyo's efforts to rein in Pyongyang. The American withdrawal from the Peninsula two years earlier and its current pre-occupation with the Middle East war, have underscored a long past history of distancing itself from the Dokdo-Takeshima dispute. This scenario was originally written by Brad Leyte for the Harpoon Classic Commander's Edition and has been re-built for Harpoon 3 with the consent of the author.
