It is equipped with active and passive sonar as well as noisemakers and torpedo decoys. Its mission is oceanographic research and mine recognizance.  It is directed by an operator aboard USS Memphis and is controlled through an acoustic modem with an approximate range of 6 miles.

The 55th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

White Phoenix

[/size]

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.)

The 59th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

War of the Euro

[/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????

[Herman Hum]

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.)

[MarkShot]

It's a hobby, not a vocation.  :)

He he he ... that's funny coming from you!

[Nefaro]

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

The 60th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

14.0 A Friend in Need

[/size]

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.
