I just started Northern Inferno, and already I have to add a new fav.

The Fast and the Furious is a great scenario that focuses on naval combat. You command a group of Norwegian FAC led by a pair of frigates with limited air support and you have to take on a Soviet landing force screened by a lot of missile boats. It is very challenging because while your ships pack a punch, they are outraged by most of the escorts in guns and you only have a limited supply of missiles. Your ships are also very vulnerable with even the transports able to do damage if given the chance. The scenario took me a couple of tries, but eventually, I won with the transports dying in an epic last-ditch rush by my FACs.

When CMO was released all existing scenarios were re-released on Steam Workshop with Baloogan (If I remember correctly) listed as the author on the Steam Workshop page which has made it much harder to find new pre-CMO scenarios from the authors one really liked.


Excel file in the standalone version of the Community Scenario Pack lists all the scenario authors. In the next version (coming later this week) it will be included in the Steam version as well.


This is the best news I have had all week with my new Zen 3-based computer now up and running.

That is quite frankly a great deed done by the developers. Thanks for taking the time to tell me this, Kushan [:)]

Kevinkins has a great point too. I've found many scenarios on my harddrive not really remebering why I did this particular thing two years ago and had a very good time.
Also, for the smaller scenarios I listed such as Biddle's Team and Corvette group off Bressay (As well as others) it's very easy to add some unpredictability to the scenarios by making units spawn in areas with a chance of spawning, or perhaps set a chance for an unknown extra sub to spawn or set a chance for the game engine to modify the number of enemy aircraft slightly or add an extra missile battery perhaps - the possibilities with small scenarios are endless since an extra unit added or missing might make a interesting difference especially if the player does not know what is really there in the scenario.


Thanks to everybody else who responded too (although I realize you might not have responded for my benefit).

Anyways, now I have tons of what seems like great suggestions on what scenarios to play after having briefly checked out the scenarios listed here.


I am really grateful for the great response, especially to Kushan for that crucial piece of information!

Sorry to hijack, but I noticed a lot of people have "Under African Skies" in their top 5. I have a question about this scenario, is China always destined to go hostile? CMO makes scenarios ambiguous unless something is explicitly stated in the brief or special message and I always wonder if I goofed something up or if the actions are intentional. Guess that is replicating real world though.

If I may add one more that I forgot, Iron Hand 2014 is another great one. It's a SEAD operation where you have to take down specific systems in a Russian-style air defense setup. The trick is you have to do it as the Russians! Like Lightening Strike you are given a ton of assets and you have to choose which ones to use. You also get tactical ballistic missiles!
