21st Scenario Posted since Christmas!

In Self Defence - WestPac Battleset

The failure to implement a comprehensive peace treaty between Japan and the Soviet Union after the end of the Second World War has acted as an obstacle to the resolution of an outstanding territorial dispute over the Kuril Archipelago. In recent years, the Russian attitude toward the issue appears to have moved toward one of consolidating control rather than giving up the territory. Now, the Russians have moved significant military forces into Etorofu, and it appears they are bent on consolidating their illegal hold. A Japanese fishing vessel has gone missing in the area of Shikotan. The Japanese Self-Defence Forces have been mobilized.

Mark Gellis has posted the 24th scenario of the year.

Looks like another barnburner. Thanks for sharing it with us, Mark!

Continental Connection - BAT10B11 - EC2003 GIUK

A few years in the future... French intelligence operatives have learned that Russia plans to sell a number of older tactical nuclear weapons to their allies in the Third World. The European Union has demanded that Russia abandon the plan. Russia has responded by insisting that the French have been misled by unreliable sources. However, satellite photographs reveal that a convoy consisting of Russian warships and merchants has just entered the Norwegian Sea.

All available E.U. forces (including Danish aircraft that have been scrambled to Vagar) are directed to patrol the Norwegian Sea and intercept a Russian convoy believed to be escorting a merchant vessel carrying nuclear weapons for sale in the Third World. Get it here.

Mark Gellis has posted the 26th scenario of the year!

The plot for this one sounds as though it was ripped from the latest newspaper headlines. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Kilo Krush – BAT10D1 - EC2003 MEDC

A few years in the future... Libya has purchased two Kilo-class submarines from Russia. The European Union does not wish the transfer to take place. There is serious concern in the E.U. that the new government of Libya is too hostile to the West and that these submarines represent a potential threat the European merchant fleets and military forces.

Libya refuses to reconsider the deal, claiming that since it has abandoned its WMD programs, it has every right to expand its conventional forces. (In fact, there are persistent indications that Libya is again involved in terrorism and the development of chemical and even nuclear weapons.)

Russia has declared that the E.U. has no right to interfere with its arms deals. It has also issued a stern warning that, since Russian crews are currently on board the Kilos, any attack against these submarines will be seen as an attack on Russia. The United States is remaining neutral on this issue. Get it here.

I think that the map should show up in that colour so long as you use the HCG version of the game.

Obviously, you are running HCG. It should not matter which version of the HCDB that you have installed.

Have you tried to hit Control+K and then selecting the Textured radio button for both the Land and Water colour?

Give that a try and let's see if the map looks similar. IMO, that is one fine contoured map and very pleasing to the eye. \

Let us know how it comes out for you.

[bradclark1]

The water darkened a little but nothing like you had it.

That is very odd. What version of HCG are you using? You can see the version by going over to the Help menu and selection the About...edition command.

Mine says, "Harpoon Commander's Edition Version 2005.b06". Have you been keeping up with the Beta releases? Perhaps you would like to try the re-installation procedure. In the past, I have had some things go 'wonky' that were quite easily rectified once I re-installed from the beginning.

Can you possibly post an image to let us see what colour you are seeing?

29th Scenario posted this year!

Mark Gellis has posted another challenging scenario. Thanks for sharing your work with the community.

Operation Spanish Fury - BAT10D2 - EC2003 MEDC

A few years in the future... Revolutions in Algeria, Libya, and Egypt have left these countries in the grip of radical Islamic governments that are hostile to the United States and the European Union.

In recent months, there have been a number of terrorist attacks in Spain. While the Algerian government is not directly responsible for these attacks, they have fostered an atmosphere of hatred against the E.U. and they have done nothing to prevent terrorists from organizing and training in their country. Spain has decided to destroy three command bunkers in Algeria in retaliation for the recent terrorist attacks. The purpose of this attack is not only to reduce the effectiveness of the Algerian military but also to send their government a message.

Mark Gellis has released the 33rd scenario of the year.

Emerald Action – BAT10C3 - EC2003 GIUK



From Cold War to Cod War...

Recent ecological factors have led to the collapse of fish populations around the world. The European Union has decided to treat certain regions of the Atlantic Ocean as "fallow zones" in the hopes that fish populations will recover and a worldwide food crisis will be avoided. Not all nations recognize these Fallow Zones, though...

Norwegian fishing boats have once again entered Fallow Zones to the west of Ireland. Irish forces are directed to locate these fishing boats and seize them; if they attempt to flee, sink them. These boats must not be allowed to return to Norway. Norway is aware that the E.U. is ready to use force against its fishing boats. A Norwegian frigate may be on patrol in these waters. Avoid this warship. She carries anti-surface missiles and your vessels are unlikely to survive an encounter with her.

This scenario requires Harpoon Classic version 16b8 or later and also the HCDB_050510 or later in order to function properly.
