Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

Herman · 11-30-15, 07:30 PM

The 39th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

10.1 Kola Strike [1988]

"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."

"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."

The 41st NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

10.0 Norwegian Entry

In order to re-gain control of the Norwegian Sea, NATO must re-capture most of the Soviet-occupied bases in Norway. The first step in this endeavour will be to leap-frog up the coast, much like what General MacArthur did in the Pacific during World War II.

The 44th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

24.3 Trade Barrier [JMSDF] [ANW]

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.

The 19th NEW Indochine Campaign Scenario

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.

The 9th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

12.0 Deep Strike I

"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.

USSR
***** Flash ***** Flash *****

ZZZZZZ 060000Z4Jul88 ZZZZZZ

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.
