No Place Like Home
A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the EC2003 GIUK Gap battleset.
The time is the present, and the Kosovo crisis and the resulting Serbian
invasion has led to long simmering tensions between Russia and the US
exploding, with the sinking of an American submarine found within Russian
territorial waters near Archangel. The Commander of the ASW frigate
involved has been cashiered for his aggressiveness, but the loss of USS
Dallas and 155 American sailors has the US public infuriated, and the US
government is bent on revenge. American diplomatic staff have been
recalled, and war is imminent. Unfortunately, the AFS Kuznetsov with his
escorts is in the Atlantic on exercises, far from friendly ports and
exposed to American attacks. The US has claimed that this task group is a
threat to American shipping and must surrender to US forces. Your job is
to get him and his escorts home safely in the face of overwhelming
opposition.

Serhiy's Decision
A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the EC2003 Battle for the
Mediterranean Battleset.
Although formally established by presidential decree on a warm summer day
in August 1992, the slow and painful partition of the Soviet Black Sea
Fleet between Ukraine and the newly independent Russian Federation took
several more years. Arguably, the first ship of the Ukrainian Navy came
into being on 26 January 1992 and in considerably less peaceful fashion.
The collapse of the USSR in December 1991 caused the crew of the Project
159A (NATO Petya II) class light frigate SKR-112, most of them Ukrainian
by nationality, to make a fateful decision. That morning in January,
captain-lieutenant Serhiy Nastenko raised the state flag of Ukraine aboard
his ship and together, he and his crew took an oath of allegiance to their
new motherland. Black Sea Fleet Command was outraged, compelling Nastenko
and his crew to eventually flee from the Russian naval base at Donuzlav,
hoping to seek refuge in Odessa. Ships and aircraft of the Black Sea Fleet
still loyal to Moscow set out in pursuit of the mutineer.

Oubliette
A Harpoon Commander's Edition scenario for the Westpac Battleset.
The war in Central Europe is bogging down, and although NATO has suffered
horrendous losses, the Soviet armored thrust has lost its momentum. There
are rumours of growing dissension and unrest among the upper echelons of
military command in Moscow. The risk of the Soviets resorting to the use
of nuclear weapons in desperation has climbed considerably in the past few
days. US Navy ballistic missile submarines, already deployed and at sea,
have been directed to their patrol stations in case things go south.
Several of these boomers, including the USS Tennessee, have been ordered
to take up positions where they could potentially exploit depressed
trajectory launches of their missile load, reducing warning time
substantially.
