Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

[Herman Hum]

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. :)

[Herman Hum]

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

Consider it done.  I'll let you know as soon as it is ready.

Thanks Herman!

The scenario is fixed.  You can find it here:

Just switch out the old file and replace it with the newly revised scenario.  Let me know if you encounter any problems  Good hunting, Mr. Bond!

^Awesome! Thanks again. I should have time to check it out this weekend.

[LongBlade]

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. :(

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 :)

[LongBlade]

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?

The 40th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

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

Red Lightning 2

[/size]

 
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.

The 44th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

1.0 Air Battle for Syria

[/size]

 
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.
