Yesterday I finally got around to playing this official scenario. I really enjoyed it, but I think it could a little bit of modernization.
Firstly, since Cargo ops are now integral to Command, implementing them as part of the British objectives would be a nice addition, with needing to land reinforcements in Kuwait from HMS Bulwark and the 3 LSTs.
Second, Perhaps some Iraqi MiG 15s/17s could be added into the fight to increase the challenge a little bit.
Third, the Iraqi Patrol boats seem to just kind of sit in the gulf, I don't know if this is intentional or not, but having them attempt to make an attack on the existing Kuwait anchorage would be nice.
Finally, the Soviets. Their presence is most welcome (especially since they have the only SAMs that could threaten the player), but aside from the two submarines, they also sit tight. I also found it a little odd that their presence isn't addressed in the briefing.
I had the two subs trail one of my Carrier groups on the surface, but no clear path for them to intervene. I thoroughly thrashed the Iraqis, while taking only some losses (Mostly carelessly to AAA on my part).
Briefing only mentions defending Kuwait, perhaps the orders should include strikes on facilities in Southern Iraq in response to Iraqi forces crossing the border.
