A new Harpoon 3 scenario from Brad Leyte's Cyprus Affair battleset is now finished and ready for play. It is a Harpoon3 re-make of Brad's popular Harpoon Classic New World Order series.

NEW WORLD ORDER SERIES: THE CYPRUS AFFAIR CAMPAIGN #2

When the NSC made good on its promise to deliver SA-10 Grumble SAM systems to the Greek Cypriots in the spring of 1995 despite Turkish protests, the stage was set for another conflict in Cyprus. The presence of the advanced weapons shifted the delicate balance of power as it put nearly all aircraft operating from the Turkish side of the island at risk.

NATO was embarrassed when regular Turkish forces stormed the island a few months later. It had not been aware of Turkey's intent to reclaim Cyprus once and for all. Hand-in-hand with the economic boom in the NSC came military modernization and revitalization; funding for which was fueled at least partly by an unprecedented level of arms exports. The NSC would no longer sit idly by while its national interests were decided by others. It launched a major attack against Turkey on June 3, 1995.

The NSC did not believe that NATO would intervene in the Cypriot affair after having been snubbed by its Turkish partner and after the beating it had received in the Baltic conflict the previous year.

The NSC was about to be proven wrong.

#1 IMPETUS TO DISASTER

This first scenario examines the opening NSC attacks on Turkey. While Turkish forces are at full readiness and deployed in combat formations, they are primarily oriented towards the operation in Cyprus. By the time they became aware of NSC intentions late in the day of 2 June, 1995, it was much too late. Witness the power of the new Soviet military machine.

This scenario is dedicated to Marine Bryan Ott; a fine fellow and Harpoon enthusiast.

Which database do those scenarios use?

[Herman]

Unless specified otherwise in a text file next (above or below) to the scenario file, all scenarios will use the latest Db2000 version. In this case, the Db2000v6.5.22.

Cheers,
Herman

Thanks!

There seems to be a few different ones, so I had to ask what I would need.

[Herman]

The first game of a new Battleset has been loaded to FoSS. This is an experiment in making an H3 battleset where your performance in the first game determines your starting position in the next.

FilesOfScenShare

Play this game from either side, save the game when you have either won or when the Scenario Duration has expired, and then send me a saved game! I will look at the result of your game and Modify the second scenario in the battleset to reflect units that you destroyed or lost, ordnance expended, as well as ensure that the Victory Conditions of the next game are adjusted so that they are challenging and achievable. I might even have to adjust the storyline based on your results!

The first scenario concerns war between the Netherlands and France in 2003; two nations each with a modern Navy and Air Force and with Belgium in between them. I have three scenario's ready from the French side, and two from the Dutch side.

All games have been tested by one avid harpooner beside myself, and, unfortunately, for you, I've had to make the AI as strong as I know how to give him a good challenge!

There is, of course, no catch; I've enjoyed making these scenarios and hope you will enjoy playing them. Well... no catch... except if hundreds of people send me saved games, it might take some time to reply!

MATCHPLAY

Terrorist attacks on the Belgium Royal family have left the Dutch Crown Prince next in line to the throne of Belgium. Popular mourning and an uprising has quickly resulted into civil war between the French-speaking Walloons in southern Belgium and the Dutch-speaking Flemish in northern Belgium.

Holland has quickly moved ground forces into Belgium to assert its claim to the throne, while France has tried unsuccessfully to mobilise the UN. But as the Israelis showed in 1967 the UN cannot operate at the pace of modern warfare...

The NSC was about to be proven wrong.

#2 MAULED BY THE BEAR

Heeding the lessons learned as an observer of the 1991 Gulf War, the NSC pounded Turkish military bases and command facilities with air strikes for the first few days of the conflict. By 11 June, most Turkish bases in the north of the country were either destroyed or severely damaged. NATO was protesting loudly against NSC actions, but as yet, no major strategic moves have been made. This scenario examines the difficulty experienced by the Turks in their attempt to defend the northern half of their country while confined to bases in the south.

Verified" by whom, I wonder ?

I haven't heard of any problems with the scenarios, but the folks who run FoSS and ScenShare are great at helping out players, so I am sure if there are any issues, they'll be addressed promptly.

In any event, not all of the H3 scenarios posted there use the db2k. \

MATCHPLAY

Holland has won a resounding victory over France. Especially in the air, a 5:1 kill rate was achieved. The complete French Atlantic fleet was sunk. The air and ground wars have now been stopped under UN pressure.

To reinforce the French fleet, the aircraft carrier Charles de Gaulle is in transit from the Mediterranean to Brest. The UN has stopped all combat and your mission is to sink the Charles de Gaulle using your remaining Dutch submarines

I am not an owner of the website, but I frequent the place often enough to observe the traffic. I haven't heard of any problems, and given the open and friendly atmosphere, I expect the players would feel comfortable in speaking their mind. Very refreshing.

MATCHPLAY

The Netherlands has lost a (surprising) number of F16s against France, but most pilots have bailed out over friendly territory and are fit to fly. Belgium F16s captured intact are being readied for operations.

Denmark also flies 62 F16-MLUs, based on two bases in Skrydstrup and Aalborg. A daring plan has been developed to raid the Danish airbase of Skrydstrup, neutralise the defences, bring in pilots and maintenance crews by plane, and fly the aircraft to the Netherlands.
