We need a "Hunt For Red October" campaign to go with "Red Storm Rising"

I'm sure people would forgive the change of making October an Akula since that would still give them the feel of stealing a Russian sub and running with it like what happened in the book considering the fact that we can't make a playable Typhoon.

Of course, the basis of the idea is that the sub was equipped with a special propulison system, so in that sense it wouldn't matter wether it is a SSBN or SSN. The problem comes in that part of the thrill (for the US side at least) was that it couldn't be determined if the sub was in fact going to launch a strike against the US. But then again, in real life no Typhoon would need to go that close to the US coast to launch his attack, in fact they could launch them even from their base at Poljarni, or from the North Pole :hmm:

How about instead of "The Hunt For Red October", "SSN" his other submarine novel about a fictional conflict between the us and china in which a US sub USS Cheyenne wreaks havoc on the chinees navy.

I actually Acquired SSN at a library bag sale as well. It's not really a book book actually. It's meant to be a companion to the (Atrocious) video game SSN Stratagies of Submarine Warfare. BUT.. the nice thing about it is that it pretty much IS a bunch of scenarios that walk you through various sub engagements so it would translate REAL well to Dangerous Waters.
Someone did eight SSN missions for Sub Command. I tried porting them over to Dangerous Waters, but I had some issues (Mainly quite a few units that just weren't moddled in the DW database as opposed to SC with SCX). Like I said previously.. when the new LWAMI is released, it will have the whole SCX database included in it so it would be a matter of waiting for LWAMI or just making the models ourselves copying the data manually.

There are several missions from SSN made for SC that can be converted for DW. (Infact I think they already were.)
