Kola Penninsula Scenario in Harpoon97

Herman · 11-10-07, 01:49 AM

If you are referring to:

#8.0 Rapier - NATO Submarine Attack on the Kola Peninsula

Then I can say that I have never been able to win it without the employment of nukes. There simply aren't enough conventional TLAM to do the job even if they all hit their target.

I was thinking of taking the subs south through the White Sea and attacking either Archangel or Shagui from extremely close range. There is plenty of time in the scenario for a move like that. Getting caught might be different matter!

Good luck to you, but I managed to get a complete Time-over-Target strike once with all the subs firing their TLAM at a single target without any useful result. I did it from fairly close range, too.

Keep trying. You get as many 'Mulligans' as you need to solve this puzzle.

Mulligans? I have a 12 handicap in JNSE Golf using the men's tees.

I remember that one from when I had the game on 3.5 inch floppies. I could never beat it without nukes either, and since I didn't like using the 'grant yourself authorization' key, I never accomplished the mission to my satisfaction.

Thanks, Vlad!

Harpoon (Classic) Commander's Edition http://www.matrixgames.com/games/game.asp?gid=325 has a new radar model. If someone were to re-make Rapier in the EC2003 GIUK battleset you'd stand a chance winning the scenario with conventional weapons. In the included HCDB database TLAMs are quite a bit stealthier than they are in the original Rapier.

Can't say I've ever won the scenario without nukes either
