Paul Bridge, a.k.a. Sirius, has released two new scenarios using the new Colonial Wars Database.
Return to Suez
All didn't go well for Israel in the 1967 War with her neighbours. Egypt has now closed the Suez Canal and has threatened any action to re-take the canal will be met with deadly force. US forces are committed to no action against Egypt, while France and the United Kingdom have mustered forces for the retake of the Suez Canal. Can the combined forces of the UK and France re-take Suez again (1956)? This time, Egypt has modern aircraft, surface ships, and submarines acquired from Russia during the early 60's including SS-N-2A Styx and air-launched anti-ship missiles from Badger aircraft. The time has come for Egypt to flex its muscles once again!
Franco's Folly
In 1963, the question of Gibraltar's status came before the UN Special Committee on De-Colonization and General Franco of Spain seized the opportunity to revive her claim for the return of the Rock to Spanish Sovereignty. 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 retake Gibraltar by force, by land, and by 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?

Hi Harpoon sailors,
Would anyone have any info on unit/base location placement for the Gulf of Tonkin incident? I have researched the events but I've no idea where all these place names are (other than that they're near the northern end of the Gulf of Tonkin).
Thanks,
Mountbatten |

Do you have Harpoon 3?
If so, a new scenario was recently posted covering the Tonkin incident.
If you don't have it, let me know what you would like to see from it and I'll try to load the scenario and relate the details for you. |

23rd Scenario posted since Christmas!
Uber-designer Fred Galano has really outdone himself. Not only has he released a new and improved version of the HUD II database for Harpoon3, he has also posted a new scenario, too!
Fred has re-made one of his Harpoon Classic Gold scenarios so that Harpoon 3 players can also enjoy it. Thanks for sharing it with us.
COLDNO1 - Cold North
The Russian military has been experiencing a loss of discipline and an increase in the number of desertions and mutinies among its ranks brought on by little or no pay and loss of morale. Of late, several older ex-Soviet warships that were laid up prior to de-commissioning have turned up missing. More disturbing is the fact that the ammunition for these warships stored in a nearby warehouse, prior to their destruction, has also turned up missing.
In another development, Oil has been discovered in and around the coast of northern Greenland and several oil rigs and a base camp have been set up. Contact has been lost with the whole operation. It is feared that an unknown force has seized the facilities. NATO has been tasked to investigate
This scenario requires the new H3DB.

Hi there!
Actually I was wanting to try make the scenario for Destroyer Command - I did the research on the units involved but the map references and even the location of the said incident are unfamiliar to me.
Thanks,
Mountbatten |

24th Scenario Posted this Year!
NWCM3 - Carving Turkey
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 a year earlier.
Background:
Pleased that NATO has thus far remained only a verbal combatant in this war, the Kremlin became blind to the original objective - the liberation of Greek Cyprus. They suddenly realized that here was a golden opportunity to finally rid themselves of the age-old Bosporous-Dardenelles chokepoint. To do so, it would be necessary to invade and claim at least a portion of Turkish territory. An amphibious assault has been launched to carry out the mission.
Subj: Alert - Impending NSC Amphibious Assault
1. SitRep
Intelligence reports indicate that an NSC amphibious group has been assembled and is underway. It is heading south. The best estimate of enemy intentions is that they are planning to launch an amphibious assault against Turkish territory.
Also, it is possible that an NSC Surface Action Group is heading towards Cyprus.
2. ORDERS
Interdict, engage, and destroy the NSC amphibious group as soon as possible. Command is aware that only limited assets are available for this ASuW mission. You must make do with what you have. NATO continues to refuse reinforcements.
Your orders are clear. Stop the amphibious invasion now assembling in the Black Sea. It will be much more difficult to stop the Soviets if they make it to the beach.

27th Scenario posted this year!
Dave Steinmeyer has released his first Harpoon 3 scenario. He is the 9th author to post a scenario. Congratulations, Dave, and thanks for sharing your work with the community.
Lone Wolf
Three NATO diesel submarines travelled north together, guarding each other during snorkel periods. They had intended to conduct wolf-pack operations near the Soviet sub base at Polyarnyy. They have been plagued by bad luck, however. First, one unit was sunk by a Tango-class SS before the other two could sink it. Then as they approached their objective, one of the remaining two boats hit a mine and was lost. The remaining ship, a Dutch Walrus-class, continued north and has run afoul of a coastal ASW group.

Here's the latest Installment in the Indonesian Campaign
HarpoonHQ
and
StrategyZone Online
"BROADSIDES"
Date: 10th June 1966
Location: Andaman Sea
Sides: UK and ANZAC Forces
The Air Strikes were considered a success on the Indonesian Airbases, destroying many of the A.U.R.I aircraft in the air and on the ground. Most of the Badger aircraft have been destroyed but at least 6 still remain operational.
The down side of the attacks were the numerous losses to the Vulcan and Canberra's which were badly mauled by the Mig-21's.
HMS Eagle dispite her defenses was hit by single AS-1 missile and the resulting damage and fires destroyed her catapults and numerous aircraft in the hanger and flightdeck, at present ship is limping back to Perth for repairs.
HMAS Melbourne faired better only receiving minor damage from rocket fire and is now in Singapore awaiting spare aircraft to bring her depleted airgroup up to full strength.
HMS Victorious still remains trapped in drydock, but with continuing repairs to the drydock gates she should be floated out by the end of the week. A large proportion of her airgroup have been destroyed at the airbases in Singapore due to sneek air attacks and terrorist attacks, replacement aircraft are on route from the UK.
At present HMS Bulwark and her cover group comprising of the WW2 Cruiser HMS Belfast have sailed from Aden and have now entered the Andaman sea on route to Singapore. Bulwark has embarked 45 cdo Royal Marines and a full complement of Wessex helicopters for future operations and are a prime target, She is due to anchor near RAAF Butterworth to take on supplies and must be protected at all costs.
The KRI Irian is unlocated but believed to be in the area , air threat is light and the submarine threat is assessed as medium.
Can HMS Belfast protect the Bulwark .....the choice is yours ! |

30th Scenario posted this year!
Freek Schepers has posted his latest scenario. This is his first scenario to use the Colonial Wars database by Paul Bridge. We sincerely hope that it is not his last for this database.
CUBAN MISSILE CRISIS
In this scenario the forces are arranged as they were in the Caribbean on October 22nd 1962; the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis.
After the Bay of Pigs invasion in 1961, Cuba started re-arming with the most modern Soviet weapon systems. MiG-19 and -21 fighters armed with Atoll-AAM, SSM-armed missile boats, and SA-2 SAMs have been supplied to Cuba in early 1962. Training has been provided in the USSR and Soviet advisors and training units were moved to Cuba.
Early 1962: US recon planes spotted construction activity of what were evaluated to be missile launch pads and fleet harbours suitable for nuclear submarines.
Early October: Soviet merchant ships with covered tube-like deck cargo were spotted in the Dardanelles and in the G-I-UK gap heading southwestwardly. Submarines were also detected moving into the Atlantic by the brand-new but imperfect SOSUS sensors.
At the height of the Cuban Missile Crisis, these ships are approaching Cuba, where Intermediate Range Ballistic Missiles are thought to be near operational status...
