Part Three - waiting for Godot Curious if there are any hostile vessels left. If so, I should have good chances since I ´ve got two full armed groups left. Two Vampires in the air! Approaching my frigates from the East. Here we are. Three vampires incoming. Sea Sparrows underway. This will be close. Two missiles shot down! A third one incoming. Sea Sparrows underway. Those Russian SS-N-9 Sea Skimmers are deadly. One hit sinks a Corvette with ease. nad I gues,, an Oslo Class Frigate, as well. New contact! another ship. Fishing boat or Russian? A fishing boat, veyr good. Another skunk detected. Right North to my Frigates. And this one is fast moving, 35 knots, and has FCR activated. That´s a hostile ship, for sure. Manually marked as hostile. Vampires underway! Counterattack underway! And Sea Sparrow SAMs underway. Yea - got them !!! All hostile missiles shot down and my Penguin Sea Skimmers still in the air, heading for that Russian Archer. Never forget about the whole theatre... My second group, two Patrol Boats to the East, detect an inbound vampire. So there is at least one Russian ship left over there, too. One ship is sunk, two hits. Now my Frigates are free to give aid to the Patrol Boats. Full speed to the East! The Patrol Boats are luckey! Two misses. Their 40mm guns would not have downed the Sea Skimmers. ..Oops...lucks like the Russian missiles are heading for my Frigates and thus just overflew my Patrol Boats. Well, 24 Sea Sparrows left. Hopefully they do the job. Meanwhile the Patrol Boats changed course to East and try to get the shooter. Sea Sparrows underway. Once again. Got one! Got the second one! Hopefully, this were the last Russian missiles. Oh no! Two new contacts. Both doing 30 knots and FCR activated. Marked as hostile. The Patrol Boats automatically launch all eight missiles, four at each contact. Both contacts hit and slow down. But none of them instantly sinks. What to do? Closing in with my PBs and use the 76mm cannon? Or avoid any risk and leave the job to my Frigates? Decision: Closing in on the nearest contact and approaching the second one with my Frigates. Now this is interesting: my Patrol Boats use a torpedo attack! Two torps underway. Scenario concluded! I would have loved to play it to the end. Triumph! The final score: 1250 SIDE: Soviet Union =========================================================== LOSSES: ------------------------------- 3x MRK Nanuchka III [Pr.1234.1 Ovod] 4x RK Osa II [Pr.205U] EXPENDITURES: ------------------ 16x SS-N-9 Siren [P-120 Malakhit] 44x SA-N-4a Gecko [9M33] 7x AK-176 76mm/60 Frag Burst [2 rnds] 2x AK-630 30mm/65 Gatling Burst [400 rnds] 13x PK-16 Flare [TST-60U] 6x SS-N-2b Styx [P-15U] 16x SA-N-1b Goa [M-1M/P Volna-M/P, 4K91 / V-601] 30x AK-726 76mm/60 Twin Frag Burst [2 rnds] 201x AK-726 76mm/60 Twin HE Burst [2 rnds] SIDE: Norway =========================================================== LOSSES: ------------------------------- 3x P 960 Storm 4x P 986 Hauk EXPENDITURES: ------------------ 14x RB 12 Penguin Mk2 11x RB 12 Penguin Mk1 14x 40mm/70 Single Breda Burst [4 rnds] 29x RIM-7M Sea Sparrow 2x Tp 612 SIDE: Neutral =========================================================== LOSSES: ------------------------------- EXPENDITURES: ------------------ ...and I just detected something for my chill out: there is a Kashin Class DDG to the West of my Frigates! Going to chase and sink him. But that´s another story. This is a wonderful and daring scenario, I really loved it.
