Colonial Wars scenarios

Dangerous Waters, by Paul Bridge

This morning, off the coast of Cuba, a Soviet submarine fired a nuclear torpedo at the USS Ranger. The resulting explosion destroyed the carrier and damaged the escort group. The carrier group was enforcing the blockade around Cuba due to the Soviet missile sites there. At present, no further nuclear exchanges have taken place. The United States has retaliated by conducting conventional strikes on military targets only with the Soviets responding in kind. With most of the action taking place in the North Atlantic and Europe...the Pacific rim seems quite for the present. Soviet forces have surged there Pacific Fleet submarines in order to keep the US carrier groups from striking the Motherland. The United States has positioned its ASW Carrier Groups to defend the Hawaiian Islands and the Pacific. Only one strike carrier is available, the Enterprise, to take the war to the Soviets in the Pacific....Good Shooting Guys.

Operation Dawarka, by Paul Bridge

Operation Dawarka is one of the most significant events of the 1965 Indo-Pakistan War. The idea of the attack by Pakistan was to destroy the Radar site at Dawarka and Naval Installations. which would draw out the heavy Indian units based in Bombay. To this end, the only Pakistani submarine Ghazi, a converted US WW2 Guppy, was stationed outside Bombay harbour to intercept them. The bombardment of Dawarka was successful, but Ghazi was unable to engage units leaving Bombay.

Franco's Folly, by Paul Bridge

In 1963, the question of Gibraltar's status came before the UN Special Committee on De-Colonisation and General Franco of Spain seized the opportunity to revive her claim for the reversion of the Rock to Spanish sovereignity. Spain increased her border restrictions with Gibraltar and eventually closed the frontier and all other means of communications with the mainland in 1969.

In the meantime, Spain decided to enforce the blockade and sailed the majority of her fleet to re-take Gibraltar by force by land and sea. The United Kingdom was caught by surprise with this and despatched HMS Eagle and Bulwark from Malta at maximum speed hoping to call Spain's bluff?

Return to Suez, by Paul Bridge

All did not go well for Israel in the 6 Day War with her neighbours and she suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of the Arabs. Egypt has now re-taken her lost lands and has closed the Suez Canal to all traffic. At a press conference in Cairo Egypt threatened to use deadly force on any country trying to re-open the canal. The US has decided not to pursue this matter. With growing hate against the Vietnam War at home, all US forces have been pulled out of area. The United Kingdom and France have decided to re-take the Suez Canal by military means and have deployed a combined force of 3 Attack Carriers and 2 Amphib Groups with air and submarine support to the Region. The UK and France did the same operation 10 years earlier...but this time Egypt is now equipped with Soviet ships, submarines, aircraft and long-range air-launched anti-ship weapons.

Bedford Incident, by Paul Bridge

A US Destroyer Captain chances upon a Soviet submarine operating inside the territorial waters of Greenland and intends to force the sub to the surface by any means possible. Both vessels are armed with nuclear weapons... and the question is who will fire first! The USS Bedford is commanded by Captain Finlander who was passed over for promotion last year due to an incident with one of our submarines. He is a very aggressive Captain who will and has broken the rules and will do anything

This Scenario is based on the movie "The Bedford Incident was added units to both sides including the Canadian ASW Carrier and Escort Group.

Colonial Wars Indonesian Campaign

Gunboat Diplomacy, by Paul Bridge

At one stage in the Borneo Confrontation, there was a force of some sixteen ships operating in and around the waters of Borneo, most of them coming from the 6th Minesweeping Squadron, whose tasks were to hunt, stop, and search small boat traffic . One incident, out of the normal humdrum patrolling , occurred in 1965 when three minesweepers intercepted and caught three armed sampans. All of them had been trying to get into southeast Johore and, during the fire fight, eight Indonesian soldiers were killed and 19 captured . This scen covers the engagement with added units for both sides .

First Strike, by Paul Bridge

Following an failed attempted coup in Indonesia by anti-communist forces , the communist government put all blame onto the United Kingdom. Over the years, communist forces had infiltrated into Malaysia and Borneo; conducting terrorist attacks on the infastructure of these countries. The UK and Australian and New Zealand forces had been hard pushed to stop these incursions, but had played no part in the failed coup. Indonesia has threatened to attack any British-flagged ships in its area, but at the present time hostilities haven't broken out. The RMS Queen Mary, enroute from Hong Kong to Singapore, is a prime target and has been give escort to Singapore !

The Empire Strikes Back, by Paul Bridge

After the outrageous attack on the RMS Queen Mary and her escorts in the South China Sea resulted in heavy loss of life on all the Ships involved in the engagement , UK and ANZAC Forces are now planning a response .... the problem is most of the UK Far East Fleet were deployed for the Annual Exercise with Australian and New Zealand Forces off North Western coast of Australia. Singapore's remaining forces have taken a "battering" over the last few days and are unable to mount a response . During the Annual Exercise the RAF had deployed most of their bomber assets to RAAF airbases on the western coast. These forces include Vulcan, Canberra bombers, and Recon aircraft. They are supported by Australian Canberras, Sabres, and Mirage fighter bomber aircraft. The Naval Forces in the area are HMS Ark Royal and HMAS Melbourne Task Groups. In all it looks like the Indonesian Forces are in for a surprise of there own!.

Broadsides, by Paul Bridge

At present, HMS Bulwark and her cover group (comprised of the WW2 Cruiser HMS Belfast) have sailed from Aden and have now entered the Andaman sea enroute to Singapore. Bulwark has embarked 45 Cdo Royal Marines and a full complement of Wessex helicopters for future operations and is a prime target. She is due to anchor near RAAF Butterworth to take on supplies and must be protected at all costs. The position of the KRI Irian is unknown, but believed to be in the area. The air threat is light and the submarine threat is assessed as medium. Can HMS Belfast protect the Bulwark .....the choice is yours !

Operation Raffles

Date:- 27th June 1966

Location:- Java Sea

Duration:- 30 Hours

Playable Sides:- UK and Anzac Forces

Over the past month Allied forces have conducted numerous engagements against the comunist forces of Indonesia.

Losses have been heavy for both sides, Allied forces have lost 5 Frigates and Destroyers, at least 4 more damaged including the Cruiser Belfast which is alongside in Singapore with torpedo damage.

HMS Eagle after quick repairs in Perth is onroute to the area with only one catapult operational and limited airgroup due to an AS-1 Kennel missile hit which "removed" 80ft of the flightdeck and destroyed weapon mounts, sensors wreaking aviation facilities in the process... there were 250 crew killed or missing in this attack.

RAF losses have been a combination of 30 aircraft, RN air losses have been about the same with reserve squadrons flying out from the UK and Australia.

Today is the day the Allied forces remove the Communist Government from Indonesia, the Bulwark Amphib Group has sailed from Singapore with a Cdo Group embarked, Escort is provided by the Victorious and Melbourne Carrier Groups. The Dutch have agreed to provide AAW Cover for the groups but is under Dutch control.

1 and 2 Para will be conducting drops on the Indonesian Mainland... the first mass use of airborne assault since Suez 1956!

The RAF will be conducting CAP, Attack and Recon Support for the Operation supported by the RAAF and RNZAF forces.

Soviet Forces have been warned to keep out the area of operations...but still continue to operate there, if they do get involved they have been told of the response we will give!!

Quinton has released yet another brilliant scenario, 'The Five Pointed Star', built with the amazing 1965-1979 database. Get it here:

The Five Pointed Star

DATE: 17 November 1974

TIME: 04:00:00 Zulu, pre-dawn local time

LOCATION: Gulf of Aden

France vs Somalia/Soviet Union

Ever since gaining independence from Britain in 1960, Somalia has dreamed of reuniting all its former provinces to become greater Somalila once more. The national flag of Somalia features a five pointed star whose points represent those areas claimed as part of the Somali nation - the former Italian and British territories, the Ogaden region of Ethiopia, the NFD region of northern Kenya and the former French colony of Djibouti. The constitution includes the statement: "The Somali Republic promotes the union of the territories." The constitution also provides that all ethnic Somalis no matter where they reside, are citizens of the republic.

In 1969, Somalia suffered a bloody coup which saw Siad Barre come to power - one year later, Somalia was declared a socialist state. With military ambition high on the agenda, the new Somali government quickly strenghtened ties with Moscow. A deal was set up where Soviet forces could make use of Somali airbases and ports in exchange for modern weaponry.

The unsuccessful struggle with Kenya in the 1960s has persuaded the Somali government to turn its attention northward. Their attention now seems squarely focused on Djibouti. This small city state is home to a Somali ethnic majority and is one of the major shipping hubs of the Middle East. The diplomatic approach has been aggressively countered by France with the French Foreign Minister stating that

"The island of democracy that is Djibouti will never fall into the hands of a greedy dictatorhip. France's commitment to the preservation of freedom in this region is strong and will be demonstrated by force if necessary."

Somalia has responded by expressing its urgent desire to reunite the oppressed people of the Somali nation under one flag and rid the region of colonial influences. Following this statement, the French navy despatched one of its Indian Ocean squadron frigates to the area and readied a far larger force for despatch to the region to deal with any and all contingencies.

The mounting tension finally blew last week with cross border raids by Somali military forces and close support airstrikes on French army positions in Djibouti. The small French garrison is not expected to hold for much longer, even with the support of a Mirage F-1 squadron. The French task force passed the island of Socrota last evening and have now entered the Gulf of Aden.

While Soviet forces would be delighted with the removal of the French presence in the region, they seem unwilling to overtly support their Somali allies. However, the presence of Soviet warships in the region has certainly got the attention of the French navy.

ORDERS FOR CMDR FRENCH FORCES

INTEL

Our forces stationed in Djibouti are taking a beating, Somali forces are on the outskirts of the capital and it seems without reinforcements, the defences will fail within 48 hours. A large proportion of the Somali airforce has deployed to the airbase outside Hargeisa, with a few of the longer ranged units operating out of Mogadishu.

Elements of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet have been conducting exercises with the South Yemen navy, but it is uncertain as to what further intentions they may have in the area. What is also uncertain is how much assistance they are giving the Somalis - some unconfirmed reports suggests they may have "instructors" assisting the training of Somali pilots. They may be also passing contact reports to the Somali's however at this stage that is unconfirmed.

At this time not all vessels of the Somali navy have been accounted for.

MISSION

* Set up defensive air patrols around your forces keeping a close eye on Soviet activity in the region.

* Conduct airstrikes as required in order to gain air superiority over Djibouti. You may consider attacking the primary forward airbase at Hargeisa, however be warned it is well defended by SAMs and AAA.

* Escort the amphibious assault group to the reference points off Djibouti. Soften up the defences in the area and close to within 5nm of the coast. The Ouragan has two embarked mechanised infantry companies, the LST's each have one. Once in range launch the assault on the beachead (BHD ref points). The companies each travel to their targets at 12kt (you wont see instantaneous results - this is real life).

* Neither the Foch nor the assault ship Ouragan may be lost in this encounter as both are mission critical.

* For political reasons you may not lose more than two ships in total.

* To be considered successful you must station three of the five amphibious ships in the area marked by the reference points for at least 6 hours.

Hi guys, a new scenario is out for Harpoon3! Enjoy:

MIND THE GAP

Location GIUK

Duration 2 Days

Sides NATO Soviet Union

Nuke Option on

With the start of Hostilities between the United States and N. Vietnam, the Soviet Union has taken advantage of this and has conducted lightning strikes against NATO Forces across Northern Europe. NATO Forces have managed to hold the line in W. Germany but at a heavy cost to men and equipment. The SLOC remain intact with NATO Forces flushing out the Soviet Submarines intercepting Convoys from CONUS to Europe. Limited Nuclear exchanges have taken place at sea with the use of nuclear depth charges and anti-ship and SAMs... no Nukes have yet been used on land.

Norway has suffered the main brunt of attacks with Soviet commandos capturing Bodo Air Base intact, the base is now operating various Soviet aircraft. A USMC Amphib is onroute to Norway to assist Norway in repeling the Soviet Horde but must first re-fuel at Scapa Flow... can the Group make Scapa Flow or be slaughtered getting there!

Guys we have two new Harpoon3 scenarios for you today:

Operation Detoxicate, by Klaus

The USA obtained proof that Iran is using the Bushire reactor for the production of a nuclear bomb. The second Iranian production facility has yet to be identified. NCA decided to use a surgical strike, however, stealth attack aircraft could not be made available in the time window open for a possible surprise strike.

Darkest Peru, by Steve

The 1995 conflict in the Cenepa Valley while a victory for Ecuador did not resolve the border dispute. Both sides settled down to patrolling the area surrounding the Cenepa / Santiago / Yaupi confluence. Bases now became long established, most having been the centre of fierce fighting. The area in question is a surprisingly small zone dominated from the high ground of the Cordillera del Condor. From positions on these heights Ecuador was effectively able to dominate over positions lower in the Valley occupied by Peruvian Troops. By 2005 incursions by either side across the disputed border looked set to finally resolve things once and for all.

Guys we have a new Harpoon3 scenario for you today, get it here:

Stabbed in the Back!

DTG 011200Z APR 64

Location South Atlantic

Duration 2.5 Days

Sides United Kingdom - Argentina

Last Week Argentine forces conducted a sneak attack on the British Falkland Islands, the garrison based there was quickly overcome with heavy loss of life to the defending Platoon of Royal Marines. The British response was one of desperation, on paper she had 5 Attack Carriers and 2 Amphib Carriers. The problem was one Amphib and Attack Carrier were in Singapore, one in refit, one in Hamburg on completion of a NATO Exercise and one in the Mediterranean to cover British interests the Egypt and Israeli firefight. This just left HMS Eagle CVA and HMS Bulwark CVH with a mix of New Zealand and UK Escorts on a visit to Cape Town after a joint exercise.

Argentina knew all this and gambled the UK would not deploy to the South Atlantic with these meager assets... they were wrong and within 24hrs the Task Group had sailed at maximum speed to reach the Falklands.

Ok guys, here is the latest scenario for Harpoon3, enjoy!

Breaking the Shackles

Ever since gaining independence from Britain in 1948, Sri Lanka has struggled to maintain its individuality in the shadow of its giant northern neighbour India. At best, India has ?non friendly? relations with every one of its northern neighbours and in any conflict these nations are likely to support India?s enemy. It is therefore not in India?s best interests to have its only southern neighbour as an enemy as well. Since independence, India has taken it upon itself to impose its views on Sri Lanka and cultivate it as a bidding client state. Sri Lankan leaders have however had their own plans and have steered clear of this position as far as possible. While officially non-aligned, India has leaned increasingly towards the Soviet Union over the past decade. Sri Lanka on the other hand has favoured a more Western stance ? especially towards the United States and just recently, Sri Lanka supported Pakistan in the Indo Pakistan war of 1971.

The support of India?s enemy during that war caused a major rift in already strained relations between the two nations. In 1972, Sri Lankan leaders struck a deal with the USN to use the port of Trincomalee as a liberty port during Indian Ocean operations. During the same period, new trade agreements were entered into and a completely new independence began to emerge for Sri Lanka with a major reliance on India becoming a thing of the past.

The prime minister of India, Indira Ghandi, is not someone who likes to lose control and this is precisely what appeared to be happening with Sri Lanka. It seemed her client state was beginning a new future ? one that did not include India and that would not do. Three weeks after top-secret orders were handed to Indian Special Forces; a large portion of the Sri Lankan government ? including the prime minister was wiped out by a massive bomb blast in the parliament building. The Indian response to this disaster was exceptionally swift: Indira Ghandi declared the nation of Sri Lanka a disaster area and pledged her nation?s unwavering support for the Sri Lankan people in their time of need. This support came in the form of shiploads of Indian troops to protect the innocent civilians of Sri Lanka from the ?rebel forces? responsible for the attack on their government. A caretaker government was installed and martial law declared ? this government had a decidedly less pro-West outlook and was far more India friendly.

The international response was at first complete shock at the audacity of this move by India. Despite the lack of overt evidence, it was clear according to the CIA and MI5 what had transpired and the general feeling was that this action could not be allowed to go unchecked.

In reply, the US Navy has despatched the Enterprise CVBG from station off Vietnam as well as a large Amphibious Ready Group that left Diego Garcia two days ago. India is still standing firm and has increased their air and naval presence in the area.

Scott has released his ?Syrian Weapons of Mass Destruction? Harpoon3 scenario. You can get it here:

Syrian Weapons of Mass Destruction

Syria is known to have Weapons of Mass Destruction (WMD). These weapons are Chemical, Biological and Nuclear (NBC). Syria does not have nuclear weapons yet, but is on the verge of aquiring them through the reactor facilities at Homs. As part of the Axis of Evil, this is the first of a triad of of scenarios designed to keep America safe in its "War against Terror".

ORDERS FOR CMDR US FORCES:

Based on latest intelligence from the CIA, Syria has embarked on a serious escalation in WMD production. The following are known sites for WMD:

CHEMICAL/BIO WEAPONS:

- Tadmur CW Facilities

- Aleppo CW Facilities

- Homs CW Facilities

- Latakia CW Facilities

NUCLEAR WEAPONS OR REACTORS

- Homs Nuclear Plant

DELIVERY SYSTEMS:

- Al Safir Scud Base

- Hamah Scud Base

- Hamah Scud Manufacturing

Your orders are to cause as much damage to these installations as possible. Specifically, you are to destroy 180 facilities in 48 Hours in order to substantially damage the capability of Syria to produce chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. You must also destroy the methods of delivery. The Syrians have approximately 500 aircraft available, however it is likely that many of them are unserviceable. It is recommended to attack Syrian air bases to reduce the threat to your strike aircraft.

The SAM presence is expected to be heavy. Syria is also known to have at least three aging Soviet ROMEO-class submarines, one of which may have been repaired, so the threat of submarine attack is real. The carriers must remain on station for two (2) days. You must prevent the Syrians from achieving even minor damage to your task force.

Paul has released his 'Indian Expansion' Harpoon3 scenario. You can get it here:

Indian Expansion

The year is 1964. Following the re-taking of Goa from Portugal 3 years earlier, India decided to stake her claims on the Maldive Islands. Following protests at the UN against the United Kingdom who have established a RAF station at Gan, India have warned the UK to get out of RAF Gan or suffer... With this threat the UK have reinforced RAF Gan with Hunters and Shackletons from Singapore and a detachment of Lightning from Aden which had to conduct AAR from a Victor tanker to reach there.

Troops also from Singapore have been flown in along with a Tigercat SAM battery. HMS Eagle and her battle group have steamed from Malaysia after a port visit and are en-route. India has deployed the Carrier Vikrant and most of her fleet to this operation along with numerous air assets from the North of the country.

Hostilities have not yet broken out and peace talks are still taking place in the darkest corners of the British Government with Indian diplomats but time is running out!

Mike has released his Georgia Knights World War II scenario for Harpoon3. You can get it here:

Georgia Knights

In the summer of 1943 fighting in the Solomons rage on with US forces pushing into the New Georgia area of operations. The United States has learned much since the bloody campaign at Guadalcanal and forces stand ready to stem the flow of supplies via the midnights run of the Tokyo Express. MTB Ron 10 has been forward deployed and stands ready for action against the IJN. Can these mighty midgets make the difference!

This is a one player ASuW scenario with a duration of 12 hours. The MTB group starts grouped to make the easier to manage when traveling but should be ungrouped and micro managed during an attack for the best effect. This scenario offers many points of decision and targets. The trick is finding the best one:)

Paul Bridge has released the first of several planned Basic Operational Sea Training (BOST) scenarios for the Harpoon3 naval/air simulator. This first scenario is named Cobra Loose! You can get it here:

Cobra Loose!

Week 6 of Basic Operational Sea Training is one of the most intensive weeks being the final week of sea training. Ships under training from various nations go through Replenishment at Sea, fire fighting, damage control, Salvage and other end of the world scenarios. This Scenario covers an advanced Casex (ASW Exercise) in the SWAPPS (South Western Approaches). Each week a threat orbat is created using other units simulating the threat. No country is simulated in the exercises and is by called different names but it?s pretty easy to guess what country your fighting against by the threat orbat.

Steve has released his Baltic Bottleneck scenario for Harpoon3. You can get it here:

http://www.harpoonhq.com/harpoon3/scenarios_1960-79/

Baltic Bottleneck

It is 1988 and Mayhem has broken out on the Central Front. This is inevitably a large scenario set primarily within the confinements of the Baltic. NATO forces drawn mostly from Denmark and West Germany stand in the way of considerable forces from Poland, East Germany and the Baltic Fleet.

The situation in the Baltic is difficult, with notoriously poor sonar conditions and the close proximity of opposition forces. Both Sweden and Finland are maintaining a policy of strict neutrality. Most front line aviation units are unavailable to you being tasked with operations on the Central front itself.

Quinton?s latest Harpoon3 scenario, The Cyprus Question, is now available for download on the HarpoonHQ:

The Cyprus Question

The year is 1966 and the island of Cyprus has found itself at the center of a tug of war for almost a century. The Greek desire for Enios (The unification of all lands associated with Ancient Greece) as well as the convenient location of the island for two British bases has prevented Turkey from governing the island which it controlled until World War I. This great source of tension became too great for the Turkish government which executed a successful invasion and reclaimed control of the island. This act of aggression has angered the Greek and British governments who have decided on a joint operation to retake the island and restore order to the region. The Ark Royal battle group has now joined up with elements of the Greek navy and are now headed east towards Cyprus.

Paul has released the second and third scenario in his Flag Officer Sea Training (FOST) battleset. You can get it here:

FOST #2: Vampire Vampire Vampire!

This scenario covers an FBA and Anti-Ship Missile Defense (ASMD) exersise off the south coast of Britain. The objective is to transit from Plymouth to Portland Bill in 6 hours. This is at high speed giving protection to the RFA and MCM's attached to your group. This is a good exercise in protecting the HVU's and yourselves close to land.

FOST #3: Hide and Seek

This scenario covers a long-range missile encounter off the south coast. The objective is to train units detached in 2 Surface Action Groups (SAGs) to engage enemy forces at range using SSMs. Normally a Nimrod and a strike element is attached to the exercise but these are under control of Fost HQ and not the Task Groups control.

The 30th scenario in the 'World War Three in 1985' battleset, Negotiating Chips, can be downloaded on the HarpoonHQ:

Negotiating Chips

For all intents and purposes, the battle for the North Atlantic is over. The Red Banner Northern Fleet has been chased out of the Norwegian Sea and, except for its surviving SSBNs, has ceased to exist as a fighting force. A large NATO amphibious operation expelled the Red Army from Norway, denying the Soviets access to the strategically important air and naval bases on Norway's western coast. In turn, the aircraft carriers of the US Navy's Second Strike Fleet, supported by massive B-52 raids, inflicted serious damage to the Soviet base complexes on the Kola Peninsula. Key installations, such as Severomorsk and Polyarnyy, have been replaced by a large black smear in the arctic landscape. As a consequence, the Soviets are no longer able to conduct offensive operations on the northern front.

Having made great sacrifices, the Soviets will do all they can to secure a political victory, if even a small one. But their wish to terminate hostilities, coupled with their lack of success on the battlefield, translates to a weak position at the negotiating table. NATO will not accept any cease-fire proposal except a return to the territorial status quo ante bellum, and will want even more if military success can make it possible at reasonable cost. The US and the UK especially seek dissolution of the Warsaw Pact and free elections.

To convince the Soviets that they have lost the war and cannot compete with NATO technologically, the United States has decided to put its newest and most sophisticated weapon system to use. Two US Navy attack submarines of the Los Angeles class have been armed with the brand new conventional Tomahawk land-attack missile (TLAM). With the introduction of this weapon, every submarine in the fleet will soon be able to hold key Soviet military and industrial targets at risk.

The bases on the Kola Peninsula have been hit hard, but the military and industrial complexes in and around Arkangelsk remain undamaged. Important facilities include the air base at Lakhta, which is one of three naval bomber bases in the Leningrad military district, and the Sevmash shipyard at Severodvinsk. Sevmash is one of the world's largest shipyards and serves as the principal Soviet shipyard for the Northern Fleet. At least five nuclear-powered submarines are currently under construction here, including two Delta IV SSBNs, one or possibly two Akula SSNs, one or two Oscar II SSGNs, and a Typhoon SSBN.

Thursday War

This is the 4th and last scenario in Paul's FOST Operational Sea Training battleset and covers all warfare training covered in the previous 3 days including Air, Surface and Sub-Surface threats. The objective is to transit from Plymouth to Portland Bill in 8 hours at high speed and conduct an amphibious assault on Portland Bill.

Kerguelen Station

Taiwan has created a secret base in the Kerguelen Islands to manufacture nuclear weapons. A Chinese Kilo submarine will attempt to locate and neutralize the Taiwanese facility using combat swimmers.
