I have recently bought Harpoon UE. I am trying to work out the best version to play (if at all; with Naval War: Arctic Circle out maybe Harpoon has been usurped? or is Naval War not as 'deep' as Harpoon? what about GCB?).

Anyway at first sight, the number of versions of Harpoon is confusing, What should someone start out with (as of April 2012)?

HUE, I have read, has 240 anomalies, ANW slightly less, and 363 is the most reliable, correct ?
Does that mean 363 is bug free, or does it also have 60 or so anomalies ?
(363 does not have a screen resolution that suits my Widescreen laptop, nor can I get the ini installer to install ..(it cannot register 2 files))

So for a novice, like myself, is it going to make a lot of difference if I just use HUE ? With the complete PlayersDB are the anomalies in HUE a) resolved or at least b) tolerable ?
In other words which is the best Harpoon version considering I am using PlayersDB ? (considering i am a novice)

Lastly, manually editing the ini for 363, do I point the Battleset folder to BattleSet or Battlset (with Player'sDB installed)?
Where can I get info about what goes on in the ini with regards PlayersDB ?

UN Resolution 1847 has passed and the US is isolated from its traditional sources of oil in the Persian Gulf and former trading partners.  The only readily available supply lies in Venezuela.  Negotiations are underway with President Hugo Chavez in hopes that Venezuela will not honour her commitments to both OPEC and the United Nations.

Herman,

I wanted to ask now that you have started this video series, have you succeeded in growing the Harpoon community?

PG went with video tutorials for BFTB versus more thick docs. I was quite skeptical of the approach mainly because the lack of the ability to self pace and that the thick Aussie accent might lose many non-native speakers of English. But I was wrong and they were very well received. It brought new customers who would have otherwise been on the sidelines.

So, what has been your experience?

Quote from: MarkShot on June 07, 2012, 12:45:30 AMI wanted to ask now that you have started this video series, have you succeeded in growing the Harpoon community?

Even though it was neither our purpose nor intent, I think it has.

The publisher has openly acknowledged that Harpoon is one of their top-selling titles. Speaking for ourselves, before Harpoon for Dummies [HfD] existed, I think that we were already doing all the right things to support Players.

We created the only functional database, made scenarios for it, and delivered them all through a one-click executable installation file. User questions received prompt and complete solutions (and not the usual AGSI practice of answering a question with another question.)  Most importantly, we showed that there was activity with our constant stream of releases.  In business, this is known as 'Traffic drawing Traffic'.

The creation of HfD simply built upon the efficiency, span, and breadth of previous activities.  Videos allowed us to be more clear and precise in the delivery of the message thereby reducing user confusion (http://www.harplonkhq.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=474&p=1371#p1371).

But I was wrong and they were very well received. It brought new customers who would have otherwise been on the sidelines.

So, what has been your experience?

I agree that videos have their limitations.  The BftB videos are superb in their professionalism and quality.  However, the Aussie accent can be hard to understand for non-native English-speakers. Also, the videos are exceptional in clarity, but they only function linearly; it is impossible to conduct a search or jump between related concepts. Therefore, a good manual remains irreplaceable.

We've tried to focus on two types of videos.  One is the direct and simple answer to any question.  This focuses the viewer directly on the problem and answers the question immediately.  Other videos such as AARs cover broader topics and show how the function, tactic, or concept might be applied in tactical situations.

If you want to know how Slitherine feels about HfD (and would feel about similar initiative for other games), you can contact Iain MacNeil (http://www.wargamer.com/forums/profile.asp?id=40225), Director, Slitherine Software, via Wargamer forum. We did some videos for NWS' Steam and Iron, too, and they were well received by the developer.

I watched one of your MP videos yesterday (30-40mins).  Although it was somewhat too small on the iPad to fully appreciate it, I did find it educational and interesting.

I have a few hard copy Harpoon books along with my Fleet Tactics book which I'll be shipping to Taiwan.  Harpoon has always been one of those games I might pick up in the future.  Assuming that I get hooked, I know with its depth, I could be playing for a long time.

These days, all I am playing (very little free time) is some CMBB/CMAK.  They are comfortable and familiar.  I really don't have time for any learning curves.

I know if and when I pick up Harpoon that your video series will be indispensable.  So, I thank you in advance.

I don't use an iPad so I have no idea if there is anything we can do to better accommodate or facilitate users.  If you have any suggestions, feel free to make them and we'll try to incorporate them into future videos.  We also make custom videos upon request.

CMBB/BO/AK are all on my list of games to learn.  Maybe you'll give me a match in the future.

I don't think there is anything you can do.  The iPad has a 10" display and you were probably recording on something much larger.

It doesn't really matter as the main points came across fine.

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:

South Korean forces are desperately trying to organize.  Striking them while they are in port and vulnerable will greatly help our cause.

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."

"One of the strategic imperatives for the Danish and Federal German (West German) Navies in the opening days of a large-scale war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact is the mining of the narrow straits in Danish waters.  A successful campaign of bottom mining would bottle up the Soviet Baltic Fleet and its Polish and German Democratic Republic (East German) allies.

The capacity of the NATO forces to lay minefields was staggering.  In just one sortie of all capable vessels, the Danish and German forces could lay over 3,000 mines.

As open warfare erupts, NATO Naval Command issues the order to close the straits to Warsaw Pact shipping.  The first lift of mines has gone off without a hitch; the ships returned and many loaded more mines, others converted back to their primary role as attack submarines and missile patrol boats.  The second sortie, designed to thicken the initial minefields, has just left harbour."

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

'Sup Herman.

I've been neck-deep with Rimpac the last few weeks and have been hankering for some modern naval warfare.  I was a bit underwhelmed with Naval War Arctic Circle- fun, but I find that "...a detailed Defcon..." is a fair evaluation of NWAC.

I booted up H3ANW tonight and, man, I had forgotten how deep it is.  Unfortunately I had a CTD, so I'm going through the painful process of patching it right now.  Hopefully I'll be able to get it up and running again shortly.

We only play at that which you do for Real.  :)

NWAC is the only game I know that can actually make ANW look good.  At least you got it to run!

I am sorry to hear of your ANW CTD.  We've documented at least 25 ways to do this already.
http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLA5EC23BC3D5FE6AD&feature=plcp

I hope that there is a solution to your problem.  If you need help trying to run down the cause of your CTD, you'll have to provide additional details.  If you want a head-to-head match, just let me know.

Hey Herman,
I got it to run- it was a patching issue.  You'd think, in this day and age, they (Matrix or whomever) would provide a comprehensive patch but maybe there's some reasonable technical issue that prevents that.

At any rate, I got it patched and booted up the "Dawn Patrol" scenario, the classic Harpoon slugfest.  I don't have PowerPoint installed yet, so I couldn't do an AAR like I had hoped.

Interesting scenario, though.  For everyone else, it basically pits a Norwegian patrol group against a Russian patrol group off of the Norwegian fjords.  The Norwegians have 6 PTMs plus a lite FF while the Ruskies have an unknown number of small boats inbound.  The Norwegians start with one SAG with 5 PTMs and the FF, with the 6th PTM in the fjords to the northeast of the Norwegian SAG (to the southwest, offshore the coast).  The Russians are somewhere north.

I split off 2 PTMs from the Nor SAG to picket.  I kept the close in 6th PTM in the fjords to ambush the Russians.  I got some intermittent ESM hits from my big group so I sent in my easternmost picket ot see what was up and VID them.  I was in full EMCON.  I got within a few miles when the Russians went active and caught all of my ships in ASM range.  It was very bloody.  I got off some Penguins but within seconds I lost my easternmost picket, my lite SAG with 3xPTM and the FF.  My westernmost picket escaped.

I pulled the west picket north, meanwhile, I had the Russians essentially sandwiched between my west picket and my fjord guy.  I pulled the fjord guy out and then did a pincer on the Russians.  I was discouraged since I was already down 4 ships, including my FF, but I figured I'd just finish out the scenario anyway.  Got some intermittent ESM from the previous location of the Rus SAG so I figured they were all close.  I went intermittent active with the west picket, got a solid hit and then it was like a wild west quick draw.  I think it was mutual destruction.  So now I have one PTM vs. two Russian Nanuchkas.  We cat and mouse going intermittent active, then I zig zag for a half hour, close to last datum, go active and unload with everything I have left for two kills.  Victory!

Tough, tough fight.  I thought I had lost for sure after the first salvo, but it really shows you how bloody modern naval combat is, where I can lose 5 ships including an FF, but then salvage the game with two surviving PTMs.

Fun stuff...I really forgot how much I love Harpoon.

That sounds like a great fight!  Dawn Patrol is probably the scenario played the most of all the Harpoon scenarios.  It truly is a classic.  A good balance between forces.

If you are up to it, you should try the variant with the same name found in the Classic GIUK Battleset.  It's another kettle of fish.  If you decide to make a video of your battle, we'd be more than happy to host it alongside the previous videos for this scenario: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL7E951380A4C68ACF&feature=view_all

"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 attempt a full-scale strike on the vital convoy."

1.0 SitRep:

Soviet Naval Aviation has exacted a heavy toll from NATO shipping.  NATO has replied in turn by attacking SNA bases on the Kola Peninsula.  One such attack severely damaged Shagui.

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

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.

Re-supply will be an important part of the Imperialist's war effort.  A combined task force has been infiltrated to an anchorage on islands bordering Maemul Sudo, with the expressed aim of disrupting any Japan-to-Korea convoys.  Destroy as many of the ships in the first major convoy to leave Japan as possible.

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.

[/size]

This scenario is based upon an incident described in the book, Blind Man's Bluff, by Sontag and Drew.

"Submarine spying had received a boost in Kissinger's and Nixon's eyes in mid-1972, when U.S. surveillance subs detected one of the rare overt Soviet moves to intervene in the Vietnam War.  Shortly after Nixon announced the mining of Haiphong Harbour, the Soviet Navy sent three Echo II subs toward Vietnam.  After they were detected by U.S. subs, Washington sent a message to Moscow, essentially saying, send them back home or they're history.  The subs left."

1.0 SitRep:

The pride of the fleet, the Kilo-class submarine Dear Leader, has been given orders to deploy from the Yellow Sea.  Any target deemed valuable enough is to be sunk without question.  Enemy warships are a priority, especially those believed to be engaged in the anti-ballistic missile mission.

The commander could not believe his luck when he got a strong ESM 'cut' on an AEgis radar.

"With the continuing escalation of skirmishing in the Baltic between Russia and Germany, tensions were rising worldwide.  As long as the conflict remained in the Baltic, most other nations were willing to wait and watch.  Once events turned against the Russians, reinforcements were brought in from the Russian Northern Fleet.  This altered the situation and the NATO allies were compelled to assist the Germans, as required by the Treaty."

It did not take long for the full import of the U.S. withdrawal from the Philippines to become apparent.  U.S. presence declined in the South China Sea and this allowed other navies greater freedom.  The PLA(Navy), under strict orders from Beijing, stepped up its patrols around the Spratley archipelago.  The Vietnamese and the Philippines vigorously protested this action, but not much was done to help them.  By 1998, the Chinese felt confident enough to make a determined push for the whole of the island chain.  By controlling the Spratleys, the PLA(Navy) would be in position to threaten busy shipping routes; the forces assigned there would also cover the Chinese invasion of the Philippines.  Once the Philippines had fallen, no one would be able to oust the Chinese from their sea.

Much was carried out to ensure the smooth running of the initial stages of the operation.  Vietnam was bribed into hamstringing the ASEAN response and the Philippine communist insurgency was expanded and financed by the PRC.  Chinese Special Forces were clandestinely inserted to advise the guerrillas.  All that was needed was a spark.

Could we get a scenario "Saving Player MarkShot"?

Brief: the Taiwanese Progressive Party has soundly defeated the Nationalists-KMT Party. Finally, the rhetoric goes too far. The President declares independence and states that Taiwan never was or will be a province of China. The PRC threatens invasion in 4 weeks if the Taipei government is not recalled. Air and missile skirmishes begin over the Taiwan Strait. President Hillary Clinton sends in the 6th Fleet and the Marines to evacuate American nationals; among them one Player MarkShot.

By the time she gets to be President, will there still BE a Sixth Fleet?

Also, isn't 6th Fleet assigned to Europe?  7th Fleet is foward-deployed to Japan. ;)

It will be hard to land Marines from a rubber duck!

Anyway I will forgo my social security, Medicare, police, and fire protection so that we can keep our aircraft carriers and the divide between haves and have nots can make French Revolution look like a comic romp!

PS: I'll delete this post if it makes your Harpoon thread too controversial, since I know how the Harpoon Community values harmony above all else.

I beg to differ; I think Harpoon values its bugs above all else.

How true. It is not perfection which defines us, but instead our imperfections.

The three most powerful men in the world are:

The President of the United States,
the Premier of the Soviet Union, and
the Captain of a ballistic missile submarine.

The Blue Crew of the SSBN Michigan won the annual Fleet Achievement Award.  As a reward, the Navy paid for their family members to join them in Scotland.  The homeward flight was hijacked enroute and diverted to Beida, Libya.

A Marine Expeditionary Unit - Special Operations Capable - and elements of Detachment Delta is sitting offshore awaiting permission to enter Libya in order to liberate the aircraft and occupants.  Meanwhile, negotiations continue and hostages are being shot every six hours.

After the third hostage was murdered, an uncoded message was transmitted from the Michigan and recorded by several international agencies.

"To the President of the United States

Believing the Soviet demand that negotiations at Beida be conducted only by a United Nations team to be an inhuman and criminal political manoeuvre precluding swift and safe release of our families, we, the majority of the officers and crew of the USS Michigan do hereby serve warning upon the Soviet Union.  Unless our families are released unharmed by 2400GMT 7 August, we will launch a Trident missile.

Mike Dawson, Commanding"

This scenario was inspired by the F. Robert Baker novel, "Warhead", Bantam Books, 1981.

A common encounter between a Knox-class frigate and a Soviet submarine.

CVBG Roosevelt has been conducting Exercise Nordic Spring with Norwegian units over a series of weeks.  One final graduation exercise is underweigh before we head to Scotland for much needed rest and recration.

The scenario was created to simulate a key event in the comic-book "The Witching Hour" currently being written by Vincenzo Beretta. It is not supposed to be "fair" :)

Warning: "Solo i giocatori con Dio dalla loro parte possono vincere questo scenario." (Only players touched by God can win this scenario.)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fESgy98YoHU

[/size]
Following the financial crises of 2008 and 2010, the Eurozone was transformed.

Greece was bailed out in 2011 with 260 billion Euro and Spain took 490 billion in 2012.

Draconian measures were enforced across Mediterranean countries. This included offering for sale Spain's sole Aircraft carrier, 6 Santa Maria-Class frigates, and the announcement of the disbandment of the Italian submarine force. Crews were laid off with immediate effect.

In spite of these rescue funds, on Jan 2013, Spain and Greece defaulted on their debt payments.

Northern Europe, facing a collapsing Euro and economy, bailed out both countries again. However, on June 9th 2013 Europe woke up to a surprise announcement. Italy, Spain, Portugal, and Greece all left the Euro at the same time. They announced that all debts would be converted to their new currency, the Certecius. In addition, the countries left the European Union, left NATO, formed a new pact called the Mediterranean Union, and appointed as its first President: Silvio Berlusconi.

Immediately the Certecius halved in value against the Euro, which itself halved against the US dollar. The Eurozone creaked under pressure of the written-off debt to Italy, Spain, and Greece, and under the burden of debt to the Americans.

EU president Guy van Rompes abdicated and Frau Dr Merkel, widely seen as the European equivalent to Margaret Thatcher, took the EU role. She promptly issued an ultimatum: the Mediterranean Unions debt, which largely matures on January 6 2015, is to be re-paid in Euros.

Herman,

Are you going to hate me for not picking up Harpoon?  As I said I would finally dive into Harpoon once I only hand my laptop and found myself with time to game again after leaving the USA.  However, I still cannot get away from first person command of a sub.  Also, with so little time to use my laptop, I feel intimidated by Harpoon's huge learning curve.

What to do????

It's a hobby, not a vocation.  :)

Harpoon has been here 18 yrs.  It will be around for another 18 (or whenever you find time after satisfying yourself with submarines.)

Hahah!  He's got a point, however.

Hell.. in the next 18 years AGS will have re-released it another 4 or 5 times, too!  :P

Sea of Dragons Battleset - Two Brothers - China invades Taiwan

China flexes its muscles with lots of exercises around Taiwan.  Although diplomatic objections are raised by a number of nations, the exercises continue.  Then, the PRC declares a maritime blockade: any ships entering the waters around Taiwan will be stopped and 'contraband' goods confiscated.  'Contraband' is loosely defined, but vessels carrying coal, oil, and LNG would appear to be favoured targets.

As coal, oil, and LNG stocks fall, the Taiwanese navy starts to escort convoys through the blockade zone.  Then, something goes wrong.  A convoy is intercepted and somebody fires on someone they shouldn't have.  The PRC immediately launches an invasion fleet.

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

AAR: Bay of Pigs
A Harpoon3 scenario
By Freek Schepers (who prefers AARs in a textual format)

[ul]On April 14th, 1961, six ships departed a Nicaraguan training camp where they had spent months training with CIA instructors.

Brigade 2506 was to land at the Bay of Pigs in southern Cuba, to overthrow Castro's regime. 16 B-26C Invader medium-range bombers were ready in Central America to support their invasion.

Cuba's army and militia, while numerically strong, were thought to be poorly motivated and likely to switch sides when the invasion took place. Cuba's air force was poorly equipped, had low servicability, and would be destroyed on the ground by the rebel B-26s and by US strikes on the main airbases. After all, it was the CIA who had organised the invasion.

In reality, President Kennedy had inherited the operation from his predecessors and, while unwilling to pull the plug, he severely limited the support that could be given and personally ordered a veto against air strikes on Cuban airbases.[/ul]

My orders were to gather my scatter ships, conduct reconnaissance on the landing site, destroy army units defending the site, and bring the amphibious ships safely to the Bay of Pigs so that they can unload over four hours. 

http://forums.gamesquad.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38012&d=1352050585&thumb=1&stc=1

I ordered my ships to rendezvous at RefPoint Zulu and launched a C-47 Dakota and an A-26K Invader to conduct the beach reconnaissance.  The ships employed varied speeds in hopes of arriving at the same time.  Even though I only used the Happy Valley base, the multiple rebel bases would (hopefully) prevent the enemy from knowing which axis of approach I would choose.  The American CVBG Essex was in communication with me, but not under my command.

http://forums.gamesquad.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38011&d=1352050584&thumb=1&stc=1

The Invader arrived over the beachhead and started a low-level search. It was soon shot down by an undetected enemy unit.  I did not even know if it was an aircraft or a ground unit.  The Dakota suffered the same fate.  This was already proving to be a tough scenario.

http://forums.gamesquad.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38010&d=1352050584&thumb=1&stc=1

A group of Invaders flew in and attacked a torpedo boat detected by the destroyed Dakota.  Since I had no other mobile assets to protect the landing ships, I ordered them to attack the boat.  She was such a small craft that I had a difficult time pin-pointing her location.  When I finally did, the Invaders saved their heavier bomb ordnance and strafed the little boat into oblivion with their massed machine guns; performing not unlike their role in World War II.

http://forums.gamesquad.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38009&d=1352050583&thumb=1&stc=1

The invaders moved on towards Cuba.  Meanwhile, the an enemy A-26 Invader was detected flying over the CVBG Essex!  I classified it Hostile to help the AI prosecute it.  Evidently, it the AA gunners were taken by surprise as not a shot was fired.  However, a flight of four Skyhawks did launch and shot down the snooper.

http://forums.gamesquad.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38018&d=1352051652&thumb=1&stc=1

The flight of Invaders conducted reconnaissance, detected elements of the Cuban 3rd Brigade, and attacked with only minimal success.  CVBG Essex launched a flight of four Skyhawks for Close Air Support to attack the 1st company.  They scored hits, but lost two in the effort.  The infantry company was capable of sustaining 500 damage points.  In ANW, an attacker has to deliver a significant amount of damage in a short interval in order to overwhelm a ground unit.  Otherwise, the unit miraculously regenerates totally!  Therefore, I had to gather every surviving A-26K Invader and load them with the most potent ordnance: Mk82 bombs and Mk77 napalm (a.k.a. Snake and Nape)

http://forums.gamesquad.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38017&d=1352051652&thumb=1&stc=1

A flight of 14 Invaders was launched.  This had the potential to deliver 700 points of damage.  Hopefully, it would be sufficient to overwhelm the infantry company.  On their approach, they flew over a gunboat Jose Moran!  Compared to the virtually unarmed landing ships, this was like a dreadnought.  Therefore, it had to be taken out!

The flight leader immediately led an attack on the gunboat.  As before, they reserved the heavy ordnance for the ground units and dove for a strafing run.  The amount of firepower delivered was tremendous with the massed .50 cal machine guns, but the gunboat fought back bravely under the assault.  The gunboat exploded, but not before killing one of her attackers.

http://forums.gamesquad.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38016&d=1352051651&thumb=1&stc=1

The surviving Invaders pummeled the hapless infantry and then took out two defending AAA sites and a Watchtower on their egress.

http://forums.gamesquad.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38015&d=1352051650&thumb=1&stc=1

The landing ships made their approach to the beach only to come under fire from hidden shore batteries.  Marope took serious damage as they all turned to flee.  Marope did not get out of range quickly enough and fires aboard consumed her.  The flotilla thought it had escaped the coastal defences when another ship started taking fire.  They ran, again.  Another ship died by fire while a third sustained significant damage.

The Invaders re-armed and returned to sweep the beaches, again.  This time, they located a heavy flak unit, an artillery group, and two platoons of T-55 main battle tanks.  The deadliest units were the flak and artillery batteries.  They died first under a flurry of bombs and napalm.  The enemy armour was hammered into submission through strafing attacks.

http://forums.gamesquad.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=38014&d=1352051649&thumb=1&stc=1

Once clear of apparent opposition, the landing ships re-entered the bay and completed their landing operations.  Victory was granted.  It was a close-run operation as the loss of one more vessel would have doomed the invasion.

Many thanks to The AlaskanBiker for a fine match and to Freek Schepers for writing such a fine scenario.

This AAR is an experiment with "giganto-scenario" play, but ANW isn't the best iteration to do that, as events will show.  Dealing with triple threat axes can be a bit confusing over a large area.

The PRC is at it again with "decapitation strikes".

http://www.chinapost.com.tw/taiwan/china-taiwan-relations/2012/11/19/361367/China-video.htm

I don't see why the PRC is characterized as 'at it again' when the US also conducts exercises with the same goals.  The PRC rocket regiments have always had the decapitation role.

This scenario appears to be so popular that folks are wanting to play it before we've even made it publicly available.

The PRC's real adversary is the USA, but the PRC looks a lot bigger from where I sit than it does from North America.

Libya's Colonel Khadaffi attempts to coerce U.S. policy by repeated terrorist acts.  The American people demand justice and even Congress extended "corrective actions."  A U.S. show of force in the Gulf of Sidra is just beginning to coalesce, when the Libyans strike first.

This scenario is a re-make of a Harpoon Classic scenario and has been re-made with the consent of AGSI.

"Ex-fils are like abortions.  You don't want to need one but when you do, you don't do it yourself."

- Tony Mendez, ex-filtration specialist

L.A. Times reporter: "What does Argo mean?"
Lester Siegel: "It means, Argo f*** yourself"

A top Iranian scientist within the nuclear energy enrichment program has been amassing information for years.  He has the smoking gun and has contacted the CIA for extraction to the West out of fear for his life and those of his family.  His intelligence is deemed invaluable and could save incalculable lives when it comes time to neutralize those facilities.

Over the weekend, the scientist and his family have sought refuge in the Italian ambassador's residence.  Come Monday, his absence will be noticed.  A CIA "Moses" operative has flown into Teheran to extract him and his family.

"There are only bad options.  It's about finding the best one."
- Tony Mendez

A CIA ex-filtration specialist, codename "Vincenzo", has flown into Teheran under the guise of a comic book writer supposedly working on a Persian-friendly response to the comic book, "300", by Frank Miller.  He has been warmly received by the Iranian Ministry of Culture and Islamic Guidance for his efforts to correct the mis-representation of Persian history and cultural traditions.

This scenario was inspired by the motion picture Argo (2012).

'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.'

QuoteWe are are happy to announce, along with Advanced Gaming Systems (www.advancedgaming.biz (http://www.advancedgaming.biz)), the release of the v3.11.1 update for the Advanced Naval Warfare portion of the powerful modern naval strategy game Harpoon – Ultimate Edition.

This comprehensive update adds in an updated Database, perfect for scenario creators and editors to tailor their scenarios to their choosing with more variety. The update also fixes and improves the Boarding and Takeover feature for those daring players that bring the fight to their enemies in the water just that much closer! Other additions include a new victory condition that requires the possession of certain units, which works similar to the Protect Unit victory condition.

After normalisation of the relationship between Argentina and Britain in the 90s, tension returned in 2012. Economic pressures and publication of 30-year old secret documents fueled nationalism in both countries.

The press was rife with "analysis" of how the retirement of Britain's carriers and Harriers would make fighting a new Falkland war impossible. Opposing views held that the ground-based radars, Typhoons, and permanent presence of 1200 infantry and SAMs (vs 60 marines in 1982) as well as the presence of Royal Navy ships would either deter or defeat invaders until reinforcements arrived by air.

"A sterner test of Phase One morale occurred during the first half of March 1968.  Following the seizure of the USS Pueblo, two carriers with their screens were sent far north to the Sea of Japan.  A contingency plan was invoked that committed the Enterprise and Ticonderoga to launch air strikes against North Korean airfields.

Air Force planes in South Korea were to have coordinated with the two navy air wings, but it was still a vastly lopsided proposition.  The carriers were assigned seven airfields at which were based more than two hundred MiGs.  Intelligence briefings detailed the enemy order of battle: ninety-one MiG-21s, seventy-six MiG-17s, and thirty-five MiG-19s.  It was estimated that at least half the North Korean fighter force would be airborne by the time the strikes arrived.  Against this, we had twenty operational Phantoms and eighteen Crusaders to escort the strike birds.

The fighters were spread mighty thin.  One target was to be struck by ten A-4s escorted by a pair of F-8s.

Nobody slept much that night.  A good many farewell letters were written in expectation of the worst, though "the worst" varied from one man to another, according to his outlook.  If forced down alive, the pilots knew they faced brutal captivity in a land ruled by barbarians.  A safe bailout into the sea was only marginally more attractive -- the water was studded with ice, and even in "poopy suits" survival would be measured in minutes.

Yet nobody backed out.  Launch was scheduled for 0600, and at 0430 aircrews were suiting up or eating breakfast.  The briefings were grim.  There was absolutely no joking.  But sometime before 0500 word came through that the mission was scrubbed.  It was never known if political considerations swayed the decision makers in Washington, or if military reality forced itself upon them.  In either case, two air wings heaved a collective sigh of relief.

But the point worth making is that morale held.  Knowing the odds against returning were extremely slim, every pilot assigned to the strike would have manned his airplane and launched.  They would rather died than looked bad."

It did not take long for the full import of the U.S. withdrawal from the Philippines to become apparent. U.S. presence declined in the South China Sea and this allowed other navies greater freedom. The PLA(Navy), under strict orders from Beijing, stepped up its patrols around the Spratley archipelago. The Vietnamese and the Philippines vigorously protested this action, but not much was done to help them. By 1998, the Chinese felt confident enough to make a determined push for the whole of the island chain. By controlling the Spratleys, the PLA(Navy) would be in position to threaten busy shipping routes; the forces assigned there would also cover the Chinese invasion of the Philippines. Once the Philippines had fallen, no one would be able to oust the Chinese from their sea.

Much was carried out to ensure the smooth running of the initial stages of the operation. Vietnam was bribed into hamstringing the ASEAN response and the Philippine communist insurgency was expanded and financed by the PRC. Chinese Special Forces were clandestinely inserted to advise the guerrillas. All that was needed was a spark.

Soviet Blitz Against Northern Defended Sea Lane

The Soviets desperately need to reduce the flow of supplies to NATO ground units fighting in Europe.  With Keflavik in NATO hands, it is very difficult for the Soviets to conduct attacks against the defended sea lanes.  The only way to make an impact on the re-supply effort is to attack both the escorts and the supporting bases en masse and then go after the merchants while the defenders are recovering.

Sea of Dragons Battleset - The Chinese Sea

It did not take long for the full import of the U.S. withdrawal from the Philippines to become apparent.  U.S. presence declined in the South China Sea and this allowed other navies greater freedom.  The PLA(Navy), under strict orders from Beijing, stepped up its patrols around the Spratley archipelago.  The Vietnamese and the Philippines vigorously protested this action, but not much was done to help them.  By 1998, the Chinese felt confident enough to make a determined push for the whole of the island chain.  By controlling the Spratleys, the PLA(Navy) would be in position to threaten busy shipping routes; the forces assigned there would also cover the Chinese invasion of the Philippines.  Once the Philippines had fallen, no one would be able to oust the Chinese from their sea.

Much was carried out to ensure the smooth running of the initial stages of the operation.  Vietnam was bribed into hamstringing the ASEAN response and the Philippine communist insurgency was expanded and financed by the PRC.  Chinese Special Forces were clandestinely inserted to advise the guerrillas.  All that was needed was a spark.

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

1.0 SitRep:

It has been decided that a flotilla of our ships will exercise near the Palawan Passage.  This will demonstrate our ability and willingness to back up our claims.

2.0 Intelligence:

Palawan HQ has received reports of an unknown Chinese ship lurking near the oilfields.  Her intentions are inscrutable.

3.0 Orders:

As part of Exercise Shining Land, practice the interception of smuggling vessels.  If the opportunity arises, put your training into practice.

Protect the oil platforms of the area by boarding and inspecting any suspicious vessels.

Sea of Dragons Battleset - Korean Standoff

"Under the situation where a war may break out any moment, there is no need to keep north-south military communications," the head of a North Korean delegation told the South by telephone Wednesday, according to the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency.

There are several hotlines between North and South Korea. Earlier this month, Pyongyang disconnected a Red Cross hotline that ran through the border village of Panmunjom and was used by officials on both sides, according to the South Korean Unification Ministry.

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/03/27/world/asia/north-korea-threats/index.html?hpt=hp_t1

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.

2.0 Intelligence:

You are approximately 90nm North of the landing beach.  Your orders were to set sail just after dusk and you have made good time.  You are steaming under radio silence, but HQ is passing along information to you.  No major enemy movements are suspected and intell indicates that several FAC [Fast Attack Craft] are out on patrol.  They are patrolling singly and not as a group.  You should be able to overcome any enemy forces with ease.  However, your orders are clear:  you are not to actively engage enemy forces, but to deliver your charges safely.  If the road is cut, then the ROK divisions will be trapped and easy to destroy.  A number of fishing boats have been positioned near your route to act as decoys and confuse enemy spies.

NATO Convoy to Norway, NATO Controls Keflavik

The situation for NATO forces in Norway is grim.  Desperate, NATO decides to send a high-speed convoy directly from the U.S. to Bergen, rather than routing it first through the U.K.  Since Keflavik remains under NATO control, the primary Soviet opposition is restricted to units in the Norwegian Sea.

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.

Hi Herman. Some of us were discussing the Soviet/Russian Lun-Class Ekranoplan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lun-class_ekranoplan (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lun-class_ekranoplan)) in this thread (http://grogheads.com/forums/index.php?topic=4988.50) and someone (GDS_Starfury) asked if it was in Harpoon. I figured if it anyone had added it, it would be you folks with the PlayersDB. Is it included and if so are there any scenarios that make use of it?

Yes, the Ekranoplan is included within the PlayersDB and it is used for a scenario.  Years ago, a user named SilentHunter needed it for a scenario named, "Devil May Care".  It was based upon a plot from a James Bond movie.  He used ANW v3.9.3 and the scenario worked just fine. 

However, a few months later, AGSI released v3.9.4 and his scenario would not longer work because the unit would just sit there and refused its orders.  The author never bothered to go back and modify his scenario so that is its current state.

Thanks for the quick reply. I knew you'd have the answer :) Too bad about the scenario no longer working.

If you have a real interest in playing the scenario, I can try to go in and get it operational.  Normally, I would not bother to do it because it's not my scenario, but I do not think anyone would mind me fixing it if someone wanted to play it.

That could be cool.

This month is May-viation here at GrogHeads and we're dedicating the month to military aviation. If you fixed it up and wanted to share some thoughts on it we would be glad to publish it as a front page article. Asking for an AAR might be too much, but I'd take one if you could write it  8)

If you fix it, I'll dust off my copy of HUE and give it a play :)

Thanks for the kind offer and invitation, but I do not think our vision of the Caspian Sea Monster (Lun) is the same.  :)

In Harpoon, we had a choice of simulating the unit as either a very fast ship or an aircraft.  SilentHunter asked that it be created as a ship.  This means that it is unable to actually 'fly' (either over the water or land).  Thus, I do not think it qualifies for May-viation. :(

Thanks Herman!

can you model it to act like a cruise missile?  thats pretty much the environment that it operates at over water.

I was told to make it a very fast ship (250kts) and give it 8x SS-N-3 Shaddock missiles as well as a pair of SA-N-1 Goa [Volna] SAM mounts.  Some Peel Cone and Peel Group radar systems were included for search and guidance.  Those were the specifications given to me by the author in order to meet his needs.

its always about his needs!  what about mine!

;)

By all means, we can create new variants/units for the PlayersDB.  If you need the Lun to act like either a cruise missile or an aircraft, I will explain the limitations of each and then try to construct a unit that meets your requirements.  IMO, it's not my place to tell users what their hypothetical units are supposed to do.  They tell me their specifications and I try to incorporate them as best I can given the game limitations. 

Therefore, if someone needs the Lun simulated as either a plane or missile for their particular scenario, the PlayersDB is quite happy to include them. The only real 'requirement' is that someone actually write the unit into a scenario so that we do not end up with a database filled with platforms no one uses. :)

Bah. Let's not little things like altitude get in the way of some cool discussion of semi-obscure military equipment. It's got wings. It flies over the water. I'm calling it a kind of plane. Therefore it qualifies :)

Heck, we can even discuss the debate about whether it's a ship or plane. Half the fun of this stuff is discussing the points over which there is some controversy. And, I suspect, there are a lot of readers out there who may never have heard of this beast. So we're education people, too. Even if they have heard of it we might be able to share information that they may not have known.

I have installed the last version of the PlayersDB for ANW, HUE and H3-363 without problem.
I have installed also the file with the "ANW and HUE images" ... the installed worked fine but I have a doubt:
- the installer put these images under the directory DATABASES/PLAYERSDB/PICS
but normally the images are under the directory RESOURCES/DBPICS
so my question is simple ... I have to move the images under this directory or they are found also under where the installer put them?

After-Action Report for the White Death scenario between Alexandre H. and Herman Hum.  Apologies for the low sound recording level experienced by Alexandre.  This is a special video to focus upon the thoughts, intentions, motivations and plans for the various tactics and strategies employed by both players with less emphasis on the actual outcome.  This is Alexandre's first attempt at making a video after-action report.

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!

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.

Hezbollah's rocket attack on Yom Kippur against Israeli cities---attacks which involved chemical weapons, and caused scores of deaths and hundreds of injuries---has provoked Israel's strongest response yet: a powerful invasion of Lebanon on October 7th, 2016, and another invasion of Syria on the 17th of October. The Hezbollah forces were crushed within days of fighting in Lebanon and capitals of both Lebanon and Syria were under Israeli control by the 2nd of November. With some 200,000 troops and some 1200 tanks seizing control of southern Syria, capturing two airbases and capturing Damascus, the Syrian Government fled to the northern provinces to make the air base at Aleppo its rallying point.

The Iranian Government, which had been supporting Hezbollah and Syria, was determined to come to their aid and to thwart Israel's complete conquest. A massive airlift was assembled on the 2nd of November and was to land at Al Raqqah, a base in central Syria that was used almost exclusively by Iranian forces. The Israeli Government had warned that any units, air, ground, or sea, seeking to aid Syrian and Hezbollah forces would be considered enemy units to be intercepted and destroyed. The Iranians chose to ignore that warning. The Battle for Syria is underway.

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."

"The remnants of StaNavForLant fell back before the steamroller known as the Soviet Northern Fleet.  Short on fuel and munitions, they are ordered to Hammerfest to replenish.  Unfortunately, that just happens to be next on STAVKA's list.  Local Norwegian forces have been ordered to attempt to stop Soviet Naval Infantry landings.

The Hammerfest occupation forces left port yesterday and rendezvoused with the strike force early this morning.  StaNavForLant was brushed aside with heavy losses earlier and the only expected resistance in the area is the local defense force."

Thanks for posting these links, Herman.
While I still haven't found the time to properly learn myself to play, I am enjoying most of these videos!
Hopefully I can be your opponent one day. ;)

Thank you for taking the time to watch some of the videos.  I'm glad you enjoy them.  It certainly seems like everyone especially likes to see me get my butt kicked!  :)

Whenever you have 20 minutes of free time, we can have a game.  I look forward to the day we meet in eBattle.

I find your YouTube channel a pretty good source of entertainment.

Which scenarios would you recommend to start with as a new player?

Got a list just for you.  :)



In fact, there's an entire playlist dedicated to new players:

With the growing might of Chinese strength, China is more assertive in its claim of South China Sea. The Cold War was long over and Globalization was transforming alliance systems world-wide. 

The dispute of Spratly islands is mostly between China, Philippines, Vietnam, Taiwan and Malaysia.  Taiwan and Malaysia decided to stay out of the fight.  USN is not present for the moment.

In this scenario, Japan is allied with the Philippines. India is allied with Vietnam.  This is a three-way confrontation between PRC vs Japan/Philippines vs Vietnam/India.

This is ASW/ASu/AAW scenario designed for 1-4 players. Duration is 5 days and hope you enjoy.  :)

LOCATION:  North Atlantic
DTG:  011930MAY91Z

The Soviets have two weapons that can reach NATO convoys in the Atlantic: submarines and aircraft.  Long-range strike bombers on the Kola peninsula can attack at will with Iceland in Soviet hands. A standard convoy includes 40-50 merchant ships spaced 1nm apart in a rectangular latticework. Eight to ten escorts, and, if they are lucky, a helicopter carrier will provide protection from submarines and air attack.

Here, a large NATO convoy has been detected by a Soviet Radar Ocean Reconnaissance Satellite (RORSAT) and Tu-95 Bear Ds are sent out to pinpoint their position.  Following closely behind the Bears are two squadrons of Backfire bombers.

This could be a very bad day for NATO.

*NOTE - This is a rebuild of a scenario from the original paper rules of Harpoon as published in the "Battles of the Third World War" compilation from Game Designers' Workshop.

ORDERS FOR CDR TF Dedalo

While our convoy was forming up off the coast of Boston, a Soviet amphibious force landed on Iceland.  They have since consolidated their position on the island and brought in reinforcements.

Reports indicate that Soviet bombers, including Tu-95 Bears, Tu-16 Badgers, Tu-22 Blinders, and Tu-22M Backfires are now based at Reykjavik and Keflavik.  Expect attacks to be regimental strength.  The submarine threat is unknown at this time.

QuoteI am happy to announce that the COTECMAR offices in Cartagena, Colombia, have invited me, between December 3rd and 11th, 2011 to collaborate with the Naval Academy and help the Navy learn how to more proficiently utilize their commercial version of the Harpoon Advanced Naval Warfare v3.9.4 simulator.

After last year's positive experience, this is actually the second collaboration with COTECMAR. The first time, I was allowed to inform only AGSI about the visit, but this time I got permission from the Colombian Navy to give news about the project.

A customized Colombian edition of the PlayersDB will be used for the simulation activities. I will be in Cartagena, working with COTECMAR, while Vincenzo Beretta will provide any needed logistic support from Italy. As well, MP Server support will be provided by Ryan Anderson in the USA.

I don't know how much we will be at liberty to report about the project, but if we get permission to share interesting experiences after it is completed, we will do so. Stay tuned!

QuoteSouth American Customer Inspires Playable GIS Maps!
South America and Texas, June 15, 2013

A friendly South American country has taken delivery of a six seat H3Milim license.  As part of their customization work, Russell Sharp has implemented the capability to turn ESRI Shape file maps into playable coastlines.   See the Wiki for more information.  This is a H3 MilSim (H3 Pro) only feature of v3.11.

NATO Convoy to Norway, USSR Controls Keflavik

The "Bergen Express", as it was called, was a naval success for NATO.  The convoy arrived with the aircraft carrier only slightly damaged.  Unfortunately for NATO, the campaign on the Norwegian front was not as successful.  Another convoy is needed to re-supply Bergen.

This scenario is a re-make of a Harpoon Classic scenario from the original NACV battleset and has been re-made for Harpoon 3 with the consent of AGSI.

The coast of Norway is made up of fjords and islands with high, rocky coasts.  This is a perfect place for small surface craft to operate because the rock walls make them hard to spot on radar, and the short detection ranges make their smaller SSMs more useful than in the open ocean.  Additionally, there are so many fjords and other places to hide such that no navy can afford enough large craft to do the job.

A new video for Creating Anti-Torpedo Defense systems in HUE v3.10 has been added to the YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/user/HarPlonked) Harpoon for Dummies channel to help Harpoon players navigate the complexities of the game and to deliver the best possible playing experience. 
This video will demonstrate how Harpoon players can create their own weapons systems according to their own desires without any need to contact a developer, database manager, or video creator to do it on their behalf due to the openness of the publicly available Harpoon databases and the database editor program included with the game.

Feb 14 1994, Valentines Day.  Less than 24 hours ago Soviet forces struck all across Eastern Europe in a bid to seize the initiative and establish themselves as the dominant fore in Europe once and for all time.

NATO, and particularly the Americans are not well positioned to challenge this sudden attack. The defences of Northern Norway were caught off guard and much of the Soviet fleet has left port. Over 100 submarines, the CV Adm Kuznetsov, two BCGNs, and four CVHs have entered the North sea. The NATO submarine patrols off the North Cape have been silenced.

Simultaneous with the attack on Jan Mayan, the Royal Marine Commandos and Danish Home Guard on the Shetland Islands and Vagar are bracing for an attack. These island outposts stand square in the middle of the GIUK gap and, if left in NATO hands, would form the basis for an ASW/AAW barrier. In Soviet hands, the gap is wide open.

The Royal Navy is moving the HMS Invincible TG North to oppose the Soviet move.  Will it be enough?

For you, Herman.  From today's Taipei Times.  There is a submarine arms race going on here.  Also, it is nice to know that a few of America's old WWII era boats are not simply rusting tourist attractions scattered across the States, but still on patrol.

Quote
Asia is in the midst of a submarine "buying spree" with most of the major powers planning substantial fleet increases over the next 20 years, new analysis published by the independent US Naval Institute concluded.

However, the analysis says that Taiwan has been trying to buy new submarines, but has been unable to find producing countries that are willing to "defy" political pressure from Beijing and make the sale.

"The only potential provider of submarines, the United States, does not build diesel-electric submarines," it says.

The analysis by military writer Kyle Mizokami says that Vietnam took delivery of a new submarine last week, Malaysia recently acquired its first and that Thailand plans to buy one soon.

Asian countries are buying submarines to "protect their recently acquired wealth," while another "more ominous driver" is the recent uptick in territorial disputes involving China.

The analysis comes as Washington defense writer Bill Gertz has published an article in The Washington Free Beacon claiming that China is testing a high-speed maneuvering torpedo that poses a threat to submarines.

Gertz said that one test was conducted near the South China Sea's Hainan Island where China's Type 094 attack submarines are based.

China is reportedly building at least seven classes of new submarines and warships, more than any other nation except the US, Gertz said.

A new report to be published later this month by the US-China Economic and Security Review Commission says that Taipei is considering designing and manufacturing its own submarines "with US and possibly other foreign technical assistance."

The report says that Taiwanese officials continue to stress to the commission the importance of acquiring submarines.

"During the Commission's recent trip to Taiwan, officials emphasized that Taiwan's ability to defend its forces against China's expanding and modernizing submarine fleet will continue to erode as its aging submarine force increasingly is unable to support Taiwanese Navy antisubmarine training," the report says.

Taiwan's current fleet of four submarines includes two former US vessels that were built in the 1940s and transferred to Taiwan in the 1970s.

Thanks for the heads up.  Why is Russia willing to provide Kilos to Vietnam (another rival to the PRC) but not the ROC?

A recent onsite photo I took of the Southern entrance to the Taiwan Strait.  (beyond that little protrusion of land on the right)

(https://www.grogheads.com/forums/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.kwlsystems.com%2Fimages%2Fphotos%2Fstw3.jpg&hash=a3cc767f76964f427dcd17cef5cf9abe64cf8253)

Well, the ROC is pretty marginalized, but to Taiwan's credit ... they persevere.  Also, there are now lots of economic ties and cultural ties between the two.  However, the CCP leadership has said that economic relationships is not a resolution to the political issue.  Unlike when I last lived here, 75% of population (based on polls) consider themselves to be Taiwanese and not Chinese.  Of course, the official language here is the same as the PRC, the character set here is "traditional" meaning maintaining more Chinese culture than the PRC, the local Taiwanese dialect is practically identical to the Fukinese dialect spoken in Fu Chien province on the other side of the Strait, DNA analysis of blood would show that most people here are are members of the Han (predominant Chinese race) more so than either you or I, customs are highly similar ...  However, despite all of that, I strongly respect their desire not to be ruled by the CCP even though I think it is a stretch to view that folks here are not Chinese.

The PLA continues improve its amphibious invasion capabilities:  landing craft, littoral denial missiles that could keep a US SAG at arm length, and lots of missiles targeted at objectives in Taiwan ...  In the meantime, most Taiwanese want to maintain the status quo.  Although Taiwan continues to buy/build weapons systems, mandatory conscription/training will soon come to an end.  A number of high ranking officers were recently found to be on the PRC's payroll.  The political leadership have personal economic ties to China; making them unreliable.  Taiwan has one of the lowest birthrates in Asia.  20% of marriages over the last decade have had one foreign spouse; most often a wife from the PRC.  Thus, like Tibet, China may simply colonize Taiwan over time without any real need for invasion.

There are more Gaelic speakers outside of Scotland than in Scotland, too.  :)

Quote from: MarkShot on November 17, 2013, 02:19:43 AM20% of marriages over the last decade have had one foreign spouse; most often a wife from the PRC.  Thus, like Tibet, China may simply colonize Taiwan over time without any real need for invasion.

'Stealing' future brides from the PRC could very well be a Casus Belli.  Evidently, Chinese girls are only in demand once they reach the age of marriage.  Then, they are scarce.  If many are going overseas, it could cause tension.  I think that wars have actually been fought historically over such issues.

Herman,

Well, they are not being stolen (at least, by Taiwanese).  There are cases in China's countryside of girls being kidnapped to be raised as a future wife for a son.

What is driving the trend of PRC brides in Taiwan:

* Taiwanese women are some of the best educated with the best career prospects in Asia.

* Although many Taiwanese women reflect traditional "Chinese" values as wives, traditional men in this society still may find their mindset/education/employ-ability too threatening.

* Although many in the USA think China is a rich country, it is not.  There is still a great deal of poverty.  The average standard of living is much higher in Mexico (which is generally regarded as poor) than China.  These brides tend tend to come from Northern China which is the poorest area.  Economic development has mainly happened in the South and along the coastline.  These brides mainly come from the North.

Finally, as long as we are characterizing the Taiwanese mindset ...  (based on polls)  50% look favorably upon Japan.  6-7% look favorably upon China or the USA.  Yes, the Taiwanese have been totally brainwashed by "Hello Kitty".

The Pacific Rim is a very fertile area for scenario development.  China is constantly flexing its muscle among its neighbors.  Japan has a new hawkish President, and the constitution will probably be rewritten (to remove the pacifist orientation).  Everyone has disputed territorial claims here.  Earlier this year, a Taiwanese fisherman was machine gunned to death by a Filipino Coast Guard boat.  Taiwan ramped up naval exercises and pushed for a full inquest.  Things have settled down, but have not fully normalized with the PI.  China was weighing in on Taiwan's side; which Taiwanese neither needed or wanted.  However, they were disappointed by the USA not pushing for an inquest into the incident.  In the mean time, Chinese and Japanese air and naval forces are constantly playing chicken over a set disputed islands.  And I don't need to mention North Korea, since that one everyone knows about in the West.

Most recently both Taiwan and China have sent aid to the PI.  Both have been criticized for the relatively small amount.  (Taiwan has sent far more aid to Japan when there was a need.)  Of course, China is developing its capability as a regional superpower, but not for aiding the PI.  In Tacloban in the PI, both Chinese and Taiwanese nationals have evacuated the area fearing for their lives ... the Filipinos don't really see a distinction ... and there is simmering racism here besides nationalism.

So, you have many naval/air scenario possibilities here ... conflict by accident ... conflict by intention ... conflict started by private citizens with boats asserting national territorial rights ...

The PRC just defined a new Air Defense Zone over the Diaoyutai Islands (釣魚台) islands which the Japanese call Senkaku Islands (meaning there will be military air interdiction of violators).  China, Taiwan, and Japan all claim possession of these islands.  Also, they are a common flyover point of about 670 civilian flights per week.

It seems that the new Chinese ADZ also includes territory claimed by South Korea as well.  Well, this should be interesting.

Latest news out of the PRC is warning to the USA to keep from involving in China's internal affairs except that it seems to have all the makings of an international incident, and don't egg Japan on.  However, I think the Japanese are perfectly willing to take a more aggressive posture these days when it comes to military matters on their own ... they are not US' puppet.

From the China Post:

Quote
South Korea Complains to China

South Korea also complained Monday about the Chinese zone, which includes the airspace above a set of submerged rocks that are controlled by Seoul but also claimed by Beijing.

South Korea's Defense Ministry summoned China's military attache in Seoul, saying the zone is unacceptable because it was drawn unilaterally, according to ministry officials. Defense Ministry spokesman Kim Min-seok said South Korea's control over the area remains unchanged and that Seoul won't notify China when its planes pass through the region.

And the response:

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."

"Submarines have traditionally lurked near harbours, hoping to catch ships leaving port, before they can lose themselves on the open ocean.  With the war underway, the waters off the Kola Peninsula are the best hunting ground in the world, if you can stay alive."

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

The Soviets have captured Keflavik, Iceland, and are using their forces garrisoned there to disrupt NATO operations around the GIUK Gap.  From there, they are launching attacks against the convoys crossing the North Atlantic to bring badly needed war supplies to Europe and their control of the air space around Iceland is allowing Soviet submarines to move through the Gap with little fear of attack from NATO ASW units.  Soviet surface units are also able to re-supply there and thus operate farther from their home ports on the Kola Peninsula than they would otherwise be able to do.

This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Charles D. Taylor's, "First Salvo".

"The power structure in Washington had been privy to the Soviet Union's intentions well before D minus 7.  In a world made smaller by satellite reconnaissance and instant communications, no nation could conceal such tactics for long.

It had been predicted by the CIA that, about one week preliminary to a concerted ground attack against NATO forces in Central Europe, the Soviet Union would initiate a series of military-political feints in various parts of the globe.  The intent would be to confuse intelligence networks as to their exact goal.  It could involve an increase in terrorist activities, an instigation of localized civil wars, previously unannounced military games in critical areas, and probable overt acts against U.S. forces -- all of which would be followed immediately by release of misinformation via KGB stations in major cities."

A wave of terrorist bombings has been perpetrated against Turkey resulting in the deaths of hundreds, including the President.  Although instigated by KGB operatives, the blame and trail of evidence left behind led to Greece.  As expected, war was declared within hours.  The Turkish air force directed heavy bombing strikes over major Greek cities.  The Greek retaliation was just as severe.  Turkey announced the closure of the Bosporus and Dardanelles until further notice.  As planned, the Soviet Black Sea Fleet had already passed through into the AEgean Sea.

In light of the situation in the Asia Minor, the annual exercises conducted by Russian divisions in Poland, East Germany, and Czechoslovakia were held over and Warsaw Pact forces did not return to base.  NATO forces were placed on Condition Two alert with satellite photos showing reserve divisions mobilizing in the western sectors of the Soviet Union.

Four separate ramming incidents were recorded between Soviet and USN naval units in the Sea of Japan.  In each case, the Soviets charged that American ships harassed Soviet units without provocation.

"The battle for the first salvo is taking a special meaning in naval battle under present-day conditions... Delay in the employment of weapons in a naval battle or operation inevitably will be fraught with the most serious and even fatal consequences, regardless of where the fleet is located, at sea or in port."

Adm. Sergei Gorshkov,
Admiral of the Fleet of the Soviet Union

This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".

"As Soviet and Syrian forces battled the Americans and Israelis in the eastern Mediterranean, RADM Arkadi Filiminov's KPUG 2 initiated operations to secure the Aegean.  At dawn, the Alligator-class amphibious transports Donetsky Shakhter and Alexsandr Tortsev began landing six hundred marines on the St. Barbara beach at Myrina, a small port on the west coast of Limnos.  Overhead, specially modified army attack helicopters flying from the Moskva supported the invasion as the guns of the cruiser Ochakov pounded the old Genoese fort that overlooked the harbour.  By noon, the island at the entrance to the Turkish Straits was in Soviet hands."

"As Filiminov left the bridge, he turned to CAPT Kamensky.  'We Russian officers,' he said, 'must always maintain our sense of the tragic.  You know the old French proverb, "If you wish to learn to pray, embark on the sea."'  Filiminov then retired to his cabin and committed suicide.  Kamensky later found Filiminov's service revolver in his right hand; a small cross in his left."

This scenario is an interpretation of the account from Michael A. Palmer's, "The War that Never Was".

"OPLAN 220-90 called for U.S. forces throughout the Pacific Command (PACOM) to initiate conventional offensive and defensive operations against Soviet units and against the Soviet Union itself.  The plan assumed that neither power, at least initially, would have the assistance of its allies, other than the use of foreign facilities, such as Soviet bases in Vietnam and American bases in Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines."

"Thus, on D-Day the Soviets began not a military, but diplomatic and public affairs offensives in Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, Singapore, Indonesia, and Taiwan.  Soviet diplomats entreated and threatened each of these countries to remain neutral and to forbid the operations of American forces from their soil.  Other Soviet officials, local communists, and their supporters initiated campaigns designed to divide public opinion and to persuade East Asians that they ought not to allow themselves to be dragged into a European war by the United States."

"The Soviets gained even greater success on D Day in the North Pacific.  Several hours before hostilities began, Bear reconnaissance aircraft located four American frigates convoying six container ships about nine hundred miles southeast of Hokkaido along the Seattle-Yokohama sealift route.  Throughout the morning and early afternoon, the Pacific Fleet KPF vectored air, surface, and subsurface assets -- the Novorossiysk-Kalinin group, a Foxtrot, an Akula, and SNA Backfires and Badgers -- into strike positions.  The attacks began at 1330 and lasted for three hours.  All ten American ships were sunk.  The Soviets lost neither a ship, a plane, nor a submarine.  ADM Ushakov saw the sharp engagement as a vindication of his strategic ideas for Pacific operations.  'This battle was,' he reported to the general staff, 'a classic example of our combined naval doctrine and the most successful engagement fought by our naval forces on D Day, anywhere.

For CINCPAC, the convoy debacle was one of those events in life that suddenly bring everything into sharp focus.  The loss of the container ships, loaded with ordnance and spare parts for air force squadrons in Japan, placed an immediate burden on American air transport assets which had to be shifted from other missions to fly supplies to the western Pacific.  The Soviet success also demonstrated the dangers of operating without air cover.  ADM Cooper immediately saw the wisdom of ADM Jernigan's strategy.  Allied land-based air assets in South Korea and Japan blocked the movement of Soviet strike aircraft to the south and to the east.  Their only way out was to the north -- between Hokkaido and Kamchatka.  The only way to plug the gap was with naval air.  Fortunately, Jernigan has his carriers closing in perfectly -- the Kitty Hawk coming down from the Aleutians, and the Independence coming up from Yokosuka.  But Cooper remained concerned: could two carriers fight their way into the gap and close it?"
