New Harpoon3 scenarios

[emsoy]

Two new Harpoon3 scenarios built by Steve and Mike have been added to the HarpoonHQ's scenario section:

A pair of over-sized super-complex scenarios designed and built by Klaus has been uploaded here:

The first scenario is Steve's Caspian Monster. This is the first ever Harpoon scenario to take place in the Caspian Sea and explores some unique vessels. The Caspian Sea is not as peaceful as it looks. Several treaties have been signed between the surrounding nations but the principal problem remains how to divide up the waters, and perhaps more importantly the oil reserves beneath. This is one of the more complex scenarios we've seen in a while and has been researched and built in typical Steve style. It should not be missed.

Second up is Active Engagement built by Mike. Here is another excellent, fast-paced ASuW scenario scenario build by one of the Harpoon community's top scenario designers. North Korea and South Korea continue their campaign of sharp naval engagements in the waters off Inchon. It lets you play with a few units not often seen in Harpoon3 scenarios including the South Korean KDX-2 destroyer.

Lastly, if you have an insanely fast computer and are looking for complexity far beyond 'normal' Harpoon you should check out Klaus' two latest scens, both part of his "The Wall" battleset. The scenarios cover an ever-escalating Third World War in the late 1980s between NATO and the Soviet Empire. These scenarios should be played with the Nuclear Option turned on.

The two first scenarios created with the brand new 1960 - 1970 Colonial Wars Harpoon3 database are now available for download:

Operation Dawarka was one of the most significant operations of the 1965 Indo-Pak war. The Pakistani objectives were to draw the heavy Indian units out of Bombay to be attacked by the submarine Ghazi, and to attack and destroy the radar installation at Dawarka to lower Indian morale and divert Indian air power away from the north.

The Bedford Incident sees the US Navy destroyer USS Bedford pitted against a Soviet submarine operating inside the territorial waters of Greenland in January 1965. Who will fire first?

Mike has released yet another Harpoon3 scenario, this time created with the new Colonial Wars database
http://www.harpoonhq.com/harpoon3/colonialwars/

Gulf of Tonkin Part I

In 1964, Washington grew increasingly concerned that the Republic of Vietnam was losing the war against the communist North. The insurgency in the South was increasing and clear gains were being made as the South struggled to conduct valuable offensive operations.

In response Washington ordered the US Navy to increase it's DeSoto intelligence collection missions off coastal North Vietnam to assist the South in conducting coastal raids against crucial North Vietnamese targets. These missions were conducted by US destroyers who provided visual and electronic data to South Vietnamese special forces prior to any raid they might launch.

The North Vietnamese were quick to recognize the effectiveness of these missions but were frustrated by the fact that they could not effectively interdict the Norwegian fast attack boats provided to the South by the US. As such it was decided to strike a US destroyer and send a clear message to the Johnson Administration about interfering in what the North perceived to be a strictly Vietnamese affair. On August 2, 1964 USS Maddox was the chosen target.

This is an 8 hour ASuw scenario that can be played from the Maddox or North Vietnamese side. The North Vietnamese side presents the greater challenge. Good Luck!
