Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

[Herman Hum]

The 15th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

24.4 Trade Barrier [ASEAN] [H3.6]

[/size]

 
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.

10.0 Punch Through

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.

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.

Matrix Games and Advanced Gaming Systems are proud to announce the long-awaited release of the promised v3.11 update for Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval Warfare.

http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=3324820&mpage=1&key=&#3324820

This patch will bring the Advanced Naval Warfare (ANW v3.9.4) version up to the Harpoon Ultimate Edition (HUE v3.11.1) standard.

[Herman Hum]

Warning: Implementation of the ANW 3.11.1 Patch will render the current ANW v3.9.4 multi-player capabilities totally non-functional.

After 3.7.0.    Release:   (080 Issues reported)
After 3.8.0.    ...Patch:    (080 Issues - 34 Fixed + 088 New) = 134 Issues
After 3.9.0.    ...Patch:    (134 Issues - 31 Fixed + 068 New) = 171 Issues
After 3.9.2.    ...Patch:    (171 Issues - 15 Fixed + 035 New) = 191 Issues
After 3.9.3.    ...Patch:    (191 Issues - 19 Fixed + 015 New) = 187 Issues
After 3.9.4.    ...Patch:    (187 Issues - 46 Fixed + 068 New) = 209 Issues
After 3.10.1.    ..Patch:   (209 Issues - 82 Fixed + 102 New) = 229 Issues

A comprehensive third-party list of 236 * Known Harpoon [ANW] Issues has been exhaustively collected on HarPlonkHQ since the release of Harpoon ANW 3.7.0  Now that 3.11.1 has been released, the list has been checked to see what has changed.  While it is by no means definitive, it is believed that:

ThIs 1 problem was resolved by the ANW 3.11.1 Patch

• CTD upon Bearing-Only-Launch
  
  
  CTD upon Bearing-Only-Launch of any weapons

These 3 problems were reported after the ANW 3.11.1 Patch was released

This occurs primarily in multi-player games, but has been reported in SP (by Shemar), too.
