The 24th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Iron Lady

A Mediterranean basic ASW scenario inspired by the old scenario booklets of the Harpoon 3 series of the late 1980s and early 1990s, good for easy gameplay and for testing generic tactics and weapons. Actually it is a mix-up of individual naval scenarios as only the Computer Harpoon can provide. And reflecting all the knowledge adquired the last years in some matters, as about Soviet/Russian platforms and forces composition.

The scenario reflects the start of the conventional WWIII as was forecasted for about 1989, the first movements in the Mediterranean Sea to determinate the early control of the sea lanes, and the first days of open combat after the previous period of Phoney War.

SLMM Pickings

A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the EC2003 GIUK battleset.

A month after the start of the Third World War between NATO and the Warsaw Pact, most of the Red Banner Northern Fleet has long since departed from its berths on the Kola Peninsula. But with many of the initial, devastating sea battles already fought, surviving Soviet surface ships and submarines are compelled to return to their bases to refuel and rearm. NATO has ordered the entrances to these enemy naval bases to be mined. The mission falls to the American attack submarine USS Providence and its French counterpart, Rubis.

This scenario is loosely based on the High Tide scenario Mining Mission for Harpoon 4.

The 53rd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Panama Canal Terror

The Panama canal is a vital sea route that is vulnerable to attack both on the structures of the canal and shipping in the restricted waters both to the east and west. In this scenario (minimum database HCDA-110225) we investigate such attacks.

You are to protect the Panama canal and approaching shipping. Recent events have indicated that mines have been laid in the waters of the Pacific ocean approach and the USA has urgently sent you specialized mine hunting equipment with further almost at hand. Canal equipment, in particular the locks, are quite vulnerable and only minor damage will greatly inhibit shipping transit.

The 58th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Spratly

In 2019 Asia has taken on a new political appearance. During the decade Australia has produced wealth from the establihment of a significant carbon trade (Carbon Reduction Trading Scheme) and has used that wealth to impose significant influence on surrounding countries, Asian countries in particular, and has formed (and controlled) the now powerfull Greater Australasian Economic Convention (GAEC). Only Taiwan has remained outside of GAEC although it is strongly held that there is significant co-operation and that its non-member status is only at the official level.

GAEC has slowly restricted much of China's requirements for expansion, particularly in respect of energy, with much of the resources available to GAEC going to the individually small, but collectively large, GAEC member countries.

Current tension is high after a month of strong diplomatic actions by both sides and GAEC conducting Naval exercises within the South China Sea (refered to by GAEC as the Viet-Malay Sea).

The 83rd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

So You Think You Can Dance

In 2015 the Chinese Government decides that American resolve regarding Taiwan is weakening. The crash of 2012 has reduced US defence spending radically, and a timid and isolationist administration in Washington will likely be poorly prepared. Japan and Korea, having ejected all american forces, will not be a factor. To eliminate the need for an invasion, it has been decided that a preemptive strike on Andersen AFB is necessary. We are certain that we will achieve suprise.

The 87th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence

It is Christmas 2012. Royal Navy ADM Robert Lawrence (YOU) has a problem. Iran has closed the Straits of Hormuz in retaliation for the Israeli/US attack on its nuclear weapons program. Most of the Gulf States have expressed their dissapproval and will wait this out. The political situation prevents the USA from helping in any overt way. The NATO anti piracy forces are the only assets available. Fortunately, you have three carriers. Unfortunately, you will have to lead from the rear, as UK defense reductions have left you with only helicopters. Deliver three supertankers to Bahrain to guarantee freedom of navigation in the Persian Gulf.

The 40th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

This is a dual-version release for Harpoon 3 and Harpoon Classic and is the first scenario released by Alpha77 (a.k.a. FrankW). The sheer size of this scenario is capable of crashing computers in both HC and H3. Be forewarned!

Red Lightning 2

The coup in Russia succeeded. Not only was the President imprisoned, but also the freedom movements in Poland and the German Democratic Republic were suppressed, not with violence, but more quietly. First, they were shocked by the turmoil in the Kremlin, but soon the relations between the sides normalized because the new government in Russia seemed reasonable. They wanted a new deal with the U.S. for delivery of non-military items and US business needed new deals (under pressure from the White House to be friendlier with the East). The West German Chancellor, who was mostly a puppet for big corporations that wanted more exports to the East, met with eastern President Lisy to discuss new trade deals. He was impressed by the change of language - the new officials seemed to be more realistic and friendlier than the old guard around Honecker.

They know little of what was happening. In reality, the military planned to get back the old Soviet glory and demand what was rightfully theirs. If demand wasn't working, maybe pressure would. First, the old Finnish wound should be healed. As their demand was not really bad (a 'least' of the old territories which the Generals felt belonged to Russia), the Finns caved in to avoid a second Winter War. However, the Russians did not stop there. They wanted better protection of their northern flank. Sweden was strictly neutral and too strong, so Norway was the only option.

NATO was not prepared. It had been lulled into a state of calm by the new warm climate between the blocs, but the Home Guard was not. Unfortunately, they were few. Russian Spetsnaz and paratroops suddenly stormed key bases and the tanks came later. There were not many NATO forces in Norway. It was over quickly. The Norwegian government called a cease-fire with the terms offered by the Russians that only the northern half of the country to be occupied. The remainder became a Norwegian 'Vichy'. The few US Marines fled to Denmark with their surviving helicopters and Harriers as well as remnants of the Norwegian Air Force.

While NATO was still discussing their reaction, the Russians made their next coup, demanding free passage for all shipping from Denmark. If this demand was met, the case would be settled and there would be peace. The Danes had a resolute Prime Minister who sent Moscow a package with a letter and a bottle: "You can have this bottle of Danish beer for free, but not more."

This scenario is a re-make of the Harpoon Classic scenario Lightning2 originally written by Alpha77 (a.k.a. FrankW) for the Harpoon Designer's Series III (HDS9 Battleset). It has been re-written for Harpoon3 and the PlayersDB with the consent of the author.
