Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB
HermanH
14.0 The Bastion
'NATO Intelligence has determined the possible locations of several
Soviet SSBN patrol areas. One of the newest and best NATO submarines
has been ordered to enter one zone, where a Typhoon-class SSBN is
probably hiding. The patrol zone is located under the Marginal Ice
Zone (MIZ), in a minefield. The NATO sub is to destroy the sub and
its escort, showing the Soviets that NATO is capable of beating its
best in its home territory.
The Marginal Ice Zone (MIZ) is an area of large ice floes covering
roughly 75% of the sea surface. There is no possibility of air or
surface units operating in these waters. The collision of ice chunks
creates a high background noise, while their melting affects the local
water salinity, which does strange things to sound beams.
Additionally, the uneven underwater surface of the ice floes causes
massive reverberations for active sonar.'
This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "Battles
of the Third World War" compilation from Game Designers' Workshop.
