Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

The 39th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Middleweights



Past Japanese militarism and colonial rule has continued to strain relations with its neighbours, most notably, South Korea. One of the principal disputes between them has been over territorial claims to a pair of tiny rocky islets that lie almost mid-way between them in the Sea of Japan, know as Dokdo in the ROK and Takeshima in Japan. These desolate rocks sit in rich deepwater fishing grounds and above unexploited energy reserves potentially worth billions.

Past threats by Japan to conduct a survey of the area, presumably in preparation for drilling efforts, have been met by South Korea sending reinforcements to shore up its Coast Guard presence there. Persistent North Korean hostility has only served to aggravate the tension between the South and Japan. The South has consistently refused to join in enforcing tough sanctions against the DPRK, frustrating Tokyo's efforts to rein in Pyongyang. The American withdrawal from the Peninsula two years earlier and its current pre-occupation with the Middle East war, have underscored a long past history of distancing itself from the Dokdo-Takeshima dispute.

This scenario was originally written by Scott Boles for the Harpoon Classic Commander's Edition and has been re-built for Harpoon 3 with the consent of the author.

Re: Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

The 41st NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Keeping the Lights On



In organizational parlance, "Keeping the Lights On," means to stay in business, especially under tough or trying circumstances. Given the world's current troubles, this closely describes the dilemma of modern navies as governments make hard decisions between defense and economic spending. Add to that noxious brew the touch of a "no-notice" crisis and things are liable to get very interesting.

Venezuela 2010: An ever-defiant Hugo Chavez sees opportunity in the global draw-down of American presence in the Caribbean and declares an expansion of his nation's Economic Exclusion Zone (EEZ). Citing maritime security concerns, Chavez uses his weekly radio show to proclaim that unprecedented levels of gun-running and drug smuggling from neighbouring states have forced his hand in order to secure the safety of the Gulf area.

Venezuelan Coast Guard elements are openly harassing and stopping legitimate traffic in transit through the zone. Any vessels failing to comply are subject to immediate use of lethal force. Not surprisingly, intelligence sources note that Cuban, Russian, and certain other nationalities are being given a free pass. Despite the obvious dangers in fleeing the illegitimate blockade, several ships have refused to submit and are attempting to exit the area through the North and East passages. SouthCom has ordered 2nd Fleet to stand ready and prepare operations for upholding Freedom of Navigation principles.

2.0 Raid on Ramullah 2016



ISRAELI CONDOR FORCE vs VENEZUELA

LOCATION: CARIBBEAN SEA/SOUTH AMERICA

DATE & TIME: 3 NOVEMBER 2016 @ 17:00:00 ZULU

Even before 2000, strong suspicions existed that Iran was seeking the acquisition of nuclear weapons. The Iranian Islamic Revolutionary Govt has not tried to allay these regional (and global) fears, and the country remained largely impervious to whatever sanctions were imposed. Israel, however, had often re-iterated that all measures---including military---would be taken to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons.

Much of the attention was give to the various facilities built within Iran. Practically NO attention, however, was give nuclear facilities built OUTSIDE the country. By the end of 2015, Iran, with the support of the Venezuelan Govt, had built a large industrial complex, called the Ramullah Complex, in south-west Venezuela, close to the borders with Colombia and Brazil. This complex had been developing, testing, and storing nuclear weapons for over a year. Iran was indeed a nuclear power, though her weapons remained offshore.

With the help of neighboring countries and the Jamaicans, Israel had gathered intelligence on this complex, but oddly enough, no public announcements were made concerning this site. Part of the reason was that the Israelis and Iranians were at war at the time and the world was fixated on the Missile Exchange between the two countries. But at the same time, on the 1st of Nov 2016, a large convoy of Israeli transport planes arrived at the main airport in Jamaica. The transport planes contained a force of Condor GLCM units---the same type of units that were unleashed against Iran-based missile sites and nuclear weapon facilities. This Condor Force had but one mission---to destroy the Iranian-controlled Ramullah complex at Venezuela.

The Condor Force was to launch its attack within 36 hrs of landing in Jamaica---Russian intelligence would give the Venezuelans (plus Russians and Iranians) all of 20 minutes notice....

Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

The 43rd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

7.6 Foxhunt



Act I: Onslaught

"In a carefully planned series of attacks, the Warsaw Pact begins a war against NATO. Their goal is to seize West Germany, gutting NATO militarily and economically. The Soviets will demand a high price for Germany's return, or assimilate its industry and technology for their own use."

"Large scale strikes by Soviet Naval Aviation (SNA) on NATO port facilities and energy infrastructure slow reinforcements and disrupt transportation.

Spetsnaz attacks further disrupt transportation and communications lines. One group, landing in Norway, cuts a critical North-South reinforcement highway. Soviet forces, landing near Tromso, Norway, rapidly secure the northern third of the country, then head south.

Keflavik, Iceland, a vital base for maritime patrol aircraft and fighters as well as a SOSUS station, is pounded by land-attack SS-N-3s from Echo II-class SSGNs. Using a combination of fuel-air-explosive and persistent chemical warheads, this vital base is neutralized for the critical opening phase of the war. By the time it recovers, the Russians figure it won't matter.

The first few days of the war find the Soviets advancing through Europe and NATO reeling. Decision-makers in Washington, London, and Paris must decide whether or not to use nuclear weapons to redress the imbalance."

"The first major convoy, escorted by a group led by USS Leyte Gulf, has left the United States enroute to Germany. SNA strike regiments have mounted a number of small-scale operations without success. Naval intelligence has positioned assets to predict the time before the Soviets a full-scale strike on the vital convoy."

Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

The 46th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

01.2 Tattletale II [Mediterranean]



Soviet doctrine called for an all-out attack on any American Carrier Battle Group (CVBG) within reach in the first minutes of a conflict. Not only were CVBGs powerful naval forces, but strategic nuclear strike platforms, as well.

To accomplish this goal, American carriers were relentlessly tracked from the moment they left port. In addition to using satellites, espionage, and direction-finding stations, the Soviets had one unique tactic: a "Tattletale".

A Soviet destroyer or intelligence ship would follow the carrier battle group wherever it went, constantly reporting the group's position (invaluable in wartime) and recording its activities.

If peace suddenly changed to war, the tattletale would give the other attacking forces up-to-the-minute target coordinates of the carrier itself. It could also execute a (hopefully surprise) close-range attack on the carrier.

The Project 61M [Mod Kashin] class was specially fitted for this role. Its P-15 [SS-N-2C] missiles faced aft. Many U.S. sailors assumed that their first news that the Russians had declared war would be a Mod Kashin turning away and going to flank speed as it fired its missiles and ran.

This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "High Tide" compilation from Clash of Arms.

Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

The 4th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

14.2 The Bastion



'NATO Intelligence has determined the possible locations of several Soviet SSBN patrol areas. One of the newest and best NATO submarines has been ordered to enter one zone, where a Typhoon-class SSBN is probably hiding. The patrol zone is located under the Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ), in a minefield. The NATO sub is to destroy the sub and its escort, showing the Soviets that NATO is capable of beating its best in its home territory.

The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) is an area of large ice floes covering roughly 75% of the sea surface. There is no possibility of air or surface units operating in these waters. The collision of ice chunks creates a high background noise, while their melting affects the local water salinity, which does strange things to sound beams. Additionally, the uneven underwater surface of the ice floes causes massive reverberations for active sonar.'

This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "Battles of the Third World War" compilation from Game Designers' Workshop.

The Long Run



Defended Sea Lane

In an attempt to reduce losses of merchant ships, NATO has implemented a defended sea lane running from New York to Brest. By providing AAW and ASW protection, U.S. and French carrier groups are a vital element in this strategy. If the Soviets can eliminate these forces, the sea lane will become vulnerable to Soviet air and submarine attack.

Re: Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

The 9th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Get the Kiev



"The Kiev class had proven to be one of the most successful units of the war. Its 20 ASW helicopters allowed it to smother any submarines it detected, and its own defenses combined with those of its escorts made it a difficult target. That didn't stop NATO from trying."

This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "Battles of the Third World War" compilation from Game Designers' Workshop.

The 17th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Baltic Sea Struggle



In the winter of 2011, tensions between NATO and Russia increased.

A Russian strategic pipeline was cut during winter, causing a giant environmental disaster. Sweden, Finland, and Russia accused each other of negligence, terrorism, and state-initiated protectionism of their own industry.

All three nations sent their ready squadrons of patrol ships into the Baltic.

Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

The 20th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

15.1 The Last Exocet [Variant]



The Argentines believed that they had damaged Hermes in the attack of May 25, which claimed Atlantic Conveyor. With only one AM.39 missile remaining, the target needed to be selected for maximum effect: Invincible.

The Argentines knew that the British carrier was operating about 100nm east of Puerto Argentino (Port Stanley), based on where the Harriers were disappearing from the radar screen of the TPS-43. The attackers planned to bypass the British screen of ships to the south, then turn north for the final attack run.

This scenario was inspired by the situation depicted by Ed Kettler in the Sea of Dragons publication from Clash of Arms.

Re: Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

The 21st NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Korean Counter



A period of rising tension, sparked by the U.S. announcement for withdrawal of the 2nd Division, has characterized relations between North and South Korea. Border incursions by North Korean special forces have increased and several acts of terrorism, carried out in strategic cities (e.g. the destruction of Pusan's main railway signaling centre), have been identified as occurring under North Korean instructions. The rhetoric issuing from both governments has become increasingly bellicose. In order to show commitment, the U.S. has moved the 7th Fleet to the East China Sea and has sent across both ground reinforcements and munitions. Although a number of U.N. resolutions have been passed, condemning the belligerent moves, only the U.K. and the Australians offer more than vocal support. A U.K. Marine Commando is flown to Twenty-Nine Palms and two frigates sent from the Gulf. Australia offers a battalion of troops, a DDG, and two frigates.

This scenario was inspired by the situation depicted by Andy Doty in the Sea of Dragons publication from Clash of Arms.

Re: Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

[Following some players' pleas for assistance, Lesson9 is the start of a series of tutorials to be written as needed and as requested about the new features introduced by ANW and HUE that are not currently covered by the official tutorials.]

The 23rd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Lesson IX: Underway Replenishment, Boarding, and Take-over



The purpose of this lesson is to familiarize the user with the Underway Replenishment, Boarding, and Take-over functions.

Since this lesson requires transit between points for the ship under the user's command, it will be necessary for the user to use the time compression feature. Consult the Harpoon II Command Card for the appropriate hot keys used to control time compression. When running this lesson you should increase the compression of time between contacts to no more than 1 minute of compression. Be prepared to resume 1 second level upon making a contact. If you run this tutorial lesson at a high time compression rate, you will not be able to properly respond to the contacts.

Following this lesson the user should be familiar with the following:

1. Conduct an Underway Replenishment evolution
2. Board and Take control of an enemy vessel
3. Take control of an enemy facility.

Operation Journeyman



Tensions in Argentina were high throughout the 70s. Border conflicts with Chile, a poor economic situation, and a lingering dispute over the Falkland Islands made UK Prime Minister Callaghan regularly check how fast SSNs could get to the South Atlantic as a deterrent to Argentina.

In November 1977, Britain announced that a nuclear submarine had arrived in the South Atlantic in response to the setting up of a naval base on South Thule by Argentina.

Britain warned that the British citizens in the South Atlantic had elected to remain part of the British Empire and that its deployment of a RN SSN was aimed to deter further violence.

Re: Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

The 54th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

02.3 Night Action


Sea of Dragons Battleset - Korean Standoff

A period of rising tension, sparked by the U.S. announcement for withdrawal of the 2nd Division, has characterized relations between North and South Korea. Border incursions by North Korean special forces have increased and several acts of terrorism, carried out in strategic cities (e.g. the destruction of Pusan's main railway signaling centre), have been identified as occurring under North Korean instructions. The rhetoric issuing from both governments has become increasingly bellicose. In order to show commitment, the U.S. has moved the 7th Fleet to the East China Sea and has sent across both ground reinforcements and munitions. Although a number of U.N. resolutions have been passed, condemning the belligerent moves, only the U.K. and the Australians offer more than vocal support. A U.K. Marine Commando is flown to Twenty-Nine Palms and two frigates sent from the Gulf. Australia offers a battalion of troops, a DDG, and two frigates.

This scenario was inspired by the situation depicted in the Sea of Dragons publication from Clash of Arms.

1.0 SitRep:

As part of the invasion plan for the Western Combined Army, a joint Marine and Special Forces regiment is to be inserted near the town of Sokch'o. The convoy will set out from Wonsan and will use darkness and the cover of the shoreline to achieve a safe transit. Contact with the enemy is to be avoided unless the safety of the transports is compromised.
