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.

Thanks, Alan Caso

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

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.

Another NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers.

MiGs

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.

A third NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers.

Bridges

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 fourth NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers.

4.0 The Supply War

Starting early April, Russian forces shortened their front and focused their attention on the Eastern sectors. Mariupol finally fell and Russia started using massive amounts of ammunition and men on other key cities.

The destruction of key bridges meant supply by sea was now the favoured route - but following the loss of an amphibious ship in harbour to a Ukrainian SSM missile, ships needed to be escorted.

Scenario Duration: 1 day

This scenario was written for the PlayersDB.

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

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.
