The Fiery October is a project I've been wanting to kick off. It is based on the assumption that the Cuban Missile Crisis turned hot following the shooting down of a U-2 on 27 October, 1962. This series of scenarios (or perhaps when all is said and done one large scenario) will cover a 24-36 hour period from the shooting down of the U-2 through subsequent actions. This will be an all air series, focusing on land based USAF and USN aircraft in Florida and perhaps later from Guantanamo Bay.

Scenario 1- Reprisal will cover the period of time from mid-afternoon on the 27th through late evening. Following the U-2 shoot down additional reconnaissance missions are ordered, as well as a reprisal strike against the SAM site that shot down the U-2. Messages during game play will explain your orders at the proper times. However, it is up to the player to plan and execute the missions in any way he or she sees fit.

Please keep in mind that this is the rough draft of the scenario and is light in a number of areas. Specifically: scoring, briefing, events, and victory conditions.

As always, feedback is welcomed. Enjoy the scenario!

Mike

Initial feedback - where are the San Cristobal and Sagua La Grande MRBM sites that are supposed to be recce'd?

Not for the rough draft, Paul. But in the revisions there will be reloads.

Ah! I just realized I did not put the markers down before I saved the copy. So sorry. I'll fix it for the final copy. Thanks for picking that up

Ok, this is version 1.5 of the scenario. I've incorporated some changes and corrections.

-Markers are up for the IRBM sites that will need to be recon'ed early on.
-Scoring issue with 'Blue Fighter Destroyed' has been resolved
-Scoring overall has been streamlined as well. Final changes will be made in the next revised version of the scenario
-Additional reconnaissance missions have been added.
-A/C not taking part in this scenario will be unavailable. I'm keeping them in the game for the moment, however.
-Ordnance Jettison turned on in the ROE settings. This should be kept unchanged to keep the realism accurate.
