Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

[Herman Hum]

A fourth NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers.

4.0 The Supply War



Starting early April, Russian forces shortened their front and focused their attention on the Eastern sectors. Mariupol finally fell and Russia started using massive amounts of ammunition and men on other key cities.

The destruction of key bridges meant supply by sea was now the favoured route - but following the loss of an amphibious ship in harbour to a Ukrainian SSM missile, ships needed to be escorted.

Scenario Duration: 1 day

This scenario was written for the PlayersDB.

For best results, this scenario should be played with Aircraft Logistics activated and Nuclear Weapons enabled.

A fifth NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers.

5.0 Cold Response



Putin's "Ruble rule" went into effect April 1st, 2022. This coincided with a severe cold snap in Northern Europe. EU countries refused to pay for Russian gas in rubles and, on April 15th, the gas supply through Ukraine and through Nordstream 1 was shut down by Russia. Finland and Sweden, not in NATO - cancelled gas contracts with Russia and Finland stopped keeping the sea-lane through the Gulf of Finland to St. Petersburg free of ice. Lithuania closed down all transport through its road and rail system to Kaliningrad as well.

Both sides had prepared for the gas pipeline closures to some extent - Russia already in December 2021 parked two LNG tankers in Kaliningrad, and thereby offset the immediate effect of the closure of the pipeline that supplied the enclave through Lithuania with natural gas. Lithuania and part of EU had set up LNG supply by tankers from the USA, but both measures could not compensate for the closed pipelines. At the conclusion of NATO exercise "Cold Response", NATO moved most of the trained naval forces into the Baltic Sea.

Russia counts on its hypersonic missiles and nuclear deterrent to make NATO back down. NATO saw their superiority in stealth planes as a factor that would make Russia think twice about using force.

Then Sweden and Finland scheduled parliamentary votes on joining NATO.

Scenario duration: 12 hours

For best results, this scenario should be played with Aircraft Logistics activated and Nuclear Weapons enabled.

A sixth NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers.

6.0 An Die Schnoe Blaue Donau



As Putin's war went into its 4th month, the world's interest came upon the 20 million tons of Ukrainian grain stored and the upcoming grain harvest. Russia blocked all Ukrainian harbours and over 300 merchant ships were stuck in Black Sea ports. Russia suggested that any ship transporting grain from Ukraine should stop at Snake Island to be inspected for war contraband. Ukraine, however, requested friendly navies guarantee freedom of navigation from Odessa to the Bosporus; across Ukrainian and International waters. Politically, this is much more acceptable for NATO than enforcing a no-fly zone over Ukrainian airspace, but the Montreux agreements banned any passage of warships through the Bosporous into the Black Sea during time of war. Enforced by Turkey, this has helped keep the Russian fleet out of the Black Sea since March.The alternative route for warships to reach the Black Sea is through the Rhine, Rhine/Danube-channel, and the Danube, but it is limited to ships under 190 meters length, 10 meter beam, and only 3 meters depth. The UK and US Blue-water navies have virtually no suitable warships within those constraints. NATO, however, managed to put together a fleet of smaller Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, French, and German ships. In four days, these ships sailed from Rotterdam to Constanta. The next leg was North to Odessa, where dozens of merchant ships were waiting for clearance from their insurance companies to sail.

Frequently Asked Questions

Has there ever been a Harpoon3 scenario featuring the B-70 Valkyrie? I noticed that this platform is included only in DB2000.

[Herman Hum]

I know of no scenario that uses the B-70 Valkyrie in any game.
Perhaps you would like to try writing one.

A seventh NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers.

7.0 Operation Z



It is 5 months into Putin's War. The war is turning into a high-tech version of WW1.

Russia is suffering from sanctions and its army is severely depleted. Ukraine occasionally scores successes behind the front using NATO weapons. The possibility exists that Russian reserves might be mobilised, and that might cause internal unrest in a country, until now, has been indifferent to the war.

With no end in sight, both countries review their options.

The 8th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

8.0 Operation Vengeance



The explosion of Nuclear weapons over Ukraine and Russia drove the world into crisis.

Putin claimed Ukraine exploded a nuclear bomb over its own territory, as a pretext to destroy Kaliningrad with an acquired nuclear bomb, dropped from a Su-24 Fencer.

Zelenski pointed out that Ukraine did not have nuclear weapons, and accused Putin of nuking its own citizens and contaminating the Baltic as a pretext to nuke Ivano-Frankish airport in Ukraine.

American and Chinese samples taking from the radioactive clouds indicated all exploded weapons were of Soviet origin.

From Russia's perspective, Ukraine now has a credible nuclear deterrent, while the Americans think only Russia used nukes and should be made to stop......

It is suggested to play NATO side first, Ukraine second, and Russia last.
