Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

[Herman Hum]

The 39th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

10.1 Kola Strike [1988]




"After a grueling week-long battle, the first reinforcement convoy arrives in England almost intact. Luckily, the Russian attacks are not well coordinated and the screen holds.

Rushed to the front, the reinforcements stabilize the situation, relieving NATO of having to use nuclear weapons. It does not give the West nearly enough strength to take the offensive.

Act II: The Hammer and Tongs

The Soviets are learning from their mistakes in the first week of the war, changing and refining their tactics. Later convoys have run into tougher opposition. They are also attacking Europe's transportation system, overloaded with supplies headed East and refugees headed West. It has begun to break down. The reinforcements and supplies, so desperately needed, pile up at the ports instead of reaching the front. These stockpiles are suffering at the hands of Soviet bombs and missiles."

"U.S. Navy plans in the 1980s were to meet the Soviet Northern Fleet head-on and hit the bases on the Kola Peninsula.

In 1980, there were limited numbers of PGMs (precision-guided munitions such as laser-guided bombs, high speed anti-radiation missiles and the like). None of the AEgis cruisers were in service yet.

By the late '80s, many of the weapons that made their appearance in the Gulf War were already in service in quantities needed to systematically take down an advanced air defense network and the installations that such a network tried to protect."

"Soviet Navy attacks on the convoys have hurt NATO badly. Fighting the Russians at sea is possible, but it is more productive to strike at the Soviet Navy's weak link -- its shore bases and support facilities. The Soviet Navy was designed as a "first salvo" force. In an extended campaign, their need to re-arm and repair (which they cannot do well at sea) makes their precious few shore bases an important target.

Using the bastion attacks as a distraction, two U.S. carriers have raced in to extreme range and will launch a single raid designed to destroy as much of the Northern Fleet's shore establishment as they can, short of using nuclear weapons."

10.0 Norwegian Entry



In order to re-gain control of the Norwegian Sea, NATO must re-capture most of the Soviet-occupied bases in Norway. The first step in this endeavour will be to leap-frog up the coast, much like what General MacArthur did in the Pacific during World War II.

12.0 Deep Strike I


"After a grueling week-long battle, the first reinforcement convoy arrives in England almost intact. Luckily, the Russian attacks are not well coordinated and the screen holds.

Rushed to the front, the reinforcements stabilize the situation, relieving NATO of having to use nuclear weapons. It does not give the West nearly enough strength to take the offensive.

The reinforcements and supplies, so desperately needed, pile up at the ports instead of reaching the front. These stockpiles are suffering at the hands of Soviet bombs and missiles."

"The Northern Fleet SNA has become entirely too successful in its efforts to disrupt the Atlantic convoys. Some convoys have barely made it across at all and 50% casualties have become commonplace amongst the merchant ships. The merchant mariner unions have lodged formal notice that unless the situation improves drastically and quickly, they will no longer sail."

This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "High Tide" compilation from Clash of Arms.

ZZZZZZ 060000Z4Jul88 ZZZZZZ

1.0 SitRep:

Northern Fleet SNA has been wildly successful in their attacks on NATO convoys. Some convoys barely survived with 50% casualties.

2.0 Intelligence:

Sources within western trade unions such as the merchant marine report significant dissent amongst members due to the high level of losses sustained from SNA strikes. Fifty percent casualties amongst convoy participants has become commonplace. The merchant mariner unions have lodged formal complaints and given notice that unless the situation improves drastically and quickly, they will no longer sail.

NATO has already acted upon this protest and launched a moderately successful TLAM strike at Shagui airfield.

3.0 Orders:

You are the commander of Hammerfest Area Defense Forces. Your mission is to prevent NATO submarines from approaching the coast and launching TLAM at the motherland. Only the best NATO submarines have this ability. Your patrol sector stretches between RefPt Alpha and Beta into the coast.

New Harpoon scenario for $2.99!


... Just kidding. Harpoon scenarios are forever free for all to enjoy.


The 14th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

21.0 Emergency...911 [H3.6]



Sea of Dragons Battleset - The Chinese SeaIt 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.This scenario was inspired by the situation depicted in the Sea of Dragons publication from Clash of Arms.

5.0 The Gibraltar Question



5.0 The Gibraltar Question

"With the loss of Hong Kong to mainland China, the fortunes of the British Empire appeared to be waning. At such times, profiteers often choose to strike.



Spain has long been aggrieved over the British base at Gibraltar. Attempts to eject the British have always met with failure. But the heyday of the Royal Navy was perceived to have 'passed' by those within the Spanish government. Spain will not attack 'The Rock', itself. It is too well defended. But all defenders must eat and a blockade was imposed around the British bastion.



Commercial traffic in and out of the Mediterranean Sea was closely escorted by Spanish warships, but any British-flagged vessel was turned back. British warships were forbidden to enter Spanish territorial waters and British aircraft could not enter Spanish airspace.



The United Kingdom reacted violently and a flight of fighters sent to reinforce the base was shot down. While British diplomats grope for a peaceful answer at the U.N., the Royal Navy sought a different solution."

The 5nd NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

13.0 Fix, Hold, and Destroy



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.

PRC

2.0 Intelligence:

Opposition is expected to only come from the rebellious Taiwanese as the Americans are pre-occupied in the Middle East.

3.0 Orders:

The fleet will and the liberation forces.

Northern Pincer:

a. Assure the safe arrival of the amphibious fleet
b. Rendezvous with the Southern Liberation fleet and then make the run
c. Land the PLA at Liberation Beach [Chilung]

Southern Pincer:

d. Act as a decoy to entice enemy strikes away from the invasion fleet
e. Destroy as much of the enemy fleet as possible
f. Once you rendezvous with the Northern Liberation fleet, act as a screening force

4.0 Rules of Engagement:

Warning level Red, Weapons Free

ZZZZZZ 220000Z07Jun92 ZZZZZZ

Victory Conditions [Spoiler]:

1. Lose no more than 5 amphibious transports
2. Ensure safe arrival of 16 transports to Chilung

Following a disastrous ASEAN meeting, the Kingdom of Thailand assembles its fleet and sails towards the Maritime Exclusion Zone [MEZ].

2.0 Intelligence:

The Royal Thai fleet is approximately 30nm south of Con Son heading for rendezvous point Tiger near the Prince consort Bank where it will join other ASEAN forces. Although no enemy action is expected, hostilities are believed to be imminent.

3.0 Orders:

Sail to rendezvous point Tiger and combine with the ASEAN fleet. Command will revert to R. Adm. Suddathan.

Enemy action is not expected, but Vietnam's actions cannot be anticipated.

Protect the convoy sailing from Thailand enroute to Taiwan.

4.0 Rules of Engagement:

Take no provocative action, but protect the integrity of your command at all times.

13.0 Deep Strike II [Combined Arms]



"The Russian economy, stressed by the demands of war, confirms its leaders' worst fears. Economists tell the Defense Council that unless the war is a short, victorious one, the economy will collapse."

Act III: Battle Chess

"Exhausted by the furious pace of combat and the horrific losses, both sides are forced to re-evaluate their basic strategies. Fuel and ammunition are being consumed at fantastic rates, confirming the most pessimistic peacetime estimates.

At sea, reinforcement convoys have become vital prizes, to be protected or destroyed. Soviet strategy did not anticipate a long war and made no plans for a sustained campaign in the North Atlantic. Now forced to do so, Soviet attack subs and aircraft must operate at extreme range in an ocean ringed with hostile bases."

"Long-range Soviet naval aviation has been a powerful force for the Soviets, interfering with NATO convoys and thus reducing NATO's efforts to reinforce and support the ground war in Europe. NATO has made the removal of the SNA bomber force a top priority."

1.0 SitRep:

The Thai fleet has set sail for the disputed region. This fleet is believed to be aiming for a rendezvous with other ASEAN fleets. A combined task force would be difficult to attack successfully, so it has been decided to attack the elements separately and sequentially.

The picture is much clearer now that ASEAN has thrown back its cloak of deceit. Indonesian and Malaysian forces met at a rendezvous point and are now heading north. They must be stopped from linking up with the Royal Thai Navy.

1.0 SitRep:

A French carrier battle group is assigned to convoy escort duty, reflecting both their increased value and the concerns of the merchant mariners.

Almost as soon as the convoy is clear of the continental air defense zone, it is attacked by SNA, but using new and imaginative tactics. French fighter pilots fly near-continuous patrols against reconnaissance aircraft, bombers, and the long-range, high-altitude missiles they fire.

2.0 Intelligence:

Soviet submarines appear to be allowing SNA strikes to roll-back the escorts before commencing their own attacks.

In response to the increased threat from SNA, the Super Etendards have been ferried ashore and replaced with an additional squadron of Crusaders.

3.0 Orders:

Escort the convoy past the gap in land-based aerial coverage.

Move towards RefPt UKADF as the maximum extent of land-based fighter protection. Ensure an average 15 knot speed of advance.

4.0 Rules of Engagement:

Warning level Red, Weapons Free

"Mines have always been an important method of slowing a naval force and restricting its movements. They have sunk their share of ships, but a mine's greater effect is the effort the enemy has to exert to continue his operations. A suspected minefield has to be investigated by specialist mine-hunting and -sweeping forces. Once the mined area is located, it has to either be swept or avoided. If the area cannot be avoided, the area is closed until it can be swept. Both sides expect the other to mine their ports and other restricted waters. How well they are prepared for that event is another story."

1.0 SitRep:

Even though the major portion of the Soviet Red Banner Northern Fleet has sortied from its bases, once a vessel has expended its ammunition, it has to return to port to re-arm. This is especially true for the vessels armed with the large, ship-killing surface-to-surface missiles such as the Oscar PLARKs, Kirov, Slava, and Kresta I RKRs and Sovremennyy EMs. The initial series of battles have caused much of the Soviet Navy to now need re-supply.

2.0 Intelligence:

Several Soviet ships have been photographed enroute to Murmansk.

3.0 Orders:

NATO high command orders the Northern Fleet port entrances to be mined. One such field is the inlet leading to Murmansk.

Penetrate Soviet waters and lay a minefield of twenty Submarine-Launched Mobile Mines (SLMM). Withdraw from the area without being detected. Do not engage Soviet vessels within 10nm of the mined area to avoid drawing attention to your presence on a mining operation. It will take 1 hour within the mine area to lay the weapons.

The French submarine, Rubis, will be in support and is available to draw attention away from Providence.

4.0 Rules of Engagement:

Warning level Red, Weapons Free

Avoid engagement with Soviet vessels within 10nm of the mined area.

A NEW Harpoon scenario has been released by scenario master, Freek Schepers. All it took to bring him out of hiding was an actual war!

Odessa



1.0 Long-awaited invasion

A Russian Amphibious force left their bases in the Baltic Sea in late January 2022. Observed by NATO units, they passed through the Strait of Gibraltar and then the Bosporus; ostensibly on their way to exercises with the Russian Northern, Pacific, and Black Sea Fleets.

After the Russians attacked Ukraine on February 26th, it was expected that this force could dilute the Ukrainian defences. However, as air superiority was not achieved by the Russians, two months after departing their bases, the Amphibious Force was still at sea, and conditions aboard became terrible.

Russian high command finally decided to use the force to open up a corridor to Odessa, the last major city not attacked.

Scenario duration: 24 hours

Scenario was written for the PlayersDB on March 9, 2022 by Freek Schepers

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

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

MiGs



2.0 Air superiority

As the Russian invasion in Ukraine progressed, observers were surprised at the absence of the Russian air force. No serious attempt was made to destroy the Ukrainian air force on the ground. While attacks with SRBMs were severe, the Russian air force seemed to refrain from using its most modern PGMs.

As a result, the Ukrainian armed forces were able to establish a stronghold in the Carpathian mountains and maintain their ability to attack Russian units from the air.

NATO moved some units East, worried about the Russian combat power apparently held in reserve. EU countries wanted to go all out in defence of Ukraine, and when the US did not give access to its Ramstein AFB for a hair- brained scheme to supply MiG 29s to Ukraine, Europe found another route...

Bridges



3.0 Bridges

More than a month into Putin's invasion of Ukraine, it is clear that the Russian army was not ready for a long operation. Losses to supply units, the enormous cost of urban warfare, and the muddy roads and fields from rising temperatures have stopped the Russian advance and made it impossible to supply the long front.

Russia has decided on a new strategy - to withdraw a large part of its forces from Northern Ukraine and use these to strengthen the attacks in the East and South.

Scenario duration: 4 hours
