BTW on exercises I do the same for Hurricanes and Tsunami and it is amazing the things the players will come up with. Some good and many frightening! The best I ever saw was a park ranger who came up with using an LCVP like ferry to take ATVs over to an island for initial damage assessment and I be danged if one month later we didn't do it!

Interesting idea! The theater commander, at least in the West, would not have command over them as they would be National Command Authority assets! I hate nukes though.

Those updates sound good to me! I'm currently about done with the A2A portion of the scenario (I think) and am retooling most of my multirole aircraft to AsuW loadouts, preparing for the Russian SAG. Here are my losses and Russian losses so far:

SIDE: Russia
===========================================================

LOSSES:
-------------------------------
1x Commercial Container Vessel - Feedermax [3,000 TEU, 30,000t DWT]
1x Ka-27M Helix A
1x Ka-27PL Helix A
9x MiG-29K Fulcrum D
6x MiG-31BM Foxhound
5x Su-24M2 Fencer D
4x Su-25UTG Frogfoot B
6x Su-33 Flanker D

SIDE: NATO
===========================================================

LOSSES:
-------------------------------
1x A/C Hangar (2x Very Large Aircraft)
12x A/C Hardened Aircraft Shelter (1x Large Aircraft)
3x Ammo Revetment
1x AvGas Bunker (400k Liter Tank)
2x Bunker (COMINT Station)
1x Bunker (SIGINT Station)
11x F-16AM Falcon MLU
2x Radar (AN/FPS-110)
1x Radar (AN/FPS-6A HF)
3x Radar (Coastal ACSR)
1x Radar (GLOBUS II [AN/FPS-129 Have Stare])
1x Radar (RAT-31SL/N)


I lost 1 F-16 on the ground, 2 to A2A missiles, and 8 to that damned Growler! No matter what I do, it seems that those SAM missiles always find me. Having destroyed most of the Russian CAG, I'm leaving the F-15C squadron and a handful of F-16s up north, and the rest goes to Orland, Vaernes, and Bodo, joining the rest of my aircraft in preparing for the naval strike. One thing that concerns me is that I have no dedicated anti-ship munitions, just weapons that have a dual attack role on both land and sea. With the range of the Russian SAMs on their ships, theres no way I can conduct a successful strike without 60% casualties, or more. Instead I'm going to gather all my subs into a wolfpack, and launch a heavily coordinated, 3 pronged attack: Torpedoes and TLAMs from the subs (as targets), NSMs from my missile boats, and everything from the SLAMs and Harpoons on my P-8s and P-3s to the brimstones on my Typhoons.

Only in the first couple of hours. Sneaked my initial pair of Norsk F-16s behind a pair of Foxhounds and splashed them without suffering counterfire and beat feet for home. Sent the aloft pair of Tornadoes toward the Russian merchie near Iceland, which was left burning but unsunk. Sent an RAF Sentry north but will be waiting for fighter escort (need fighters and tankers for this) before going _way_ north. Added some Brimstone 2 loadouts on Typhoons and Lightnings and went all-internal loads for the Lightnings for starters. Set all Strike Eagle loadouts to GBU-54, preferring that to Maverick and GBU-12 loads they start with. Otherwise units are in motion toward the AO...

Just a quick couple notes as I wait for all my forces to get ready:

Make sure the ASuW patrols for the subs have their radars turned off under EMCON, otherwise the subs will turn on their radars and get detected when they come up to recharge their batteries.
You might want to consider putting munitions in the bases that don't currently have fighters in them (Evenes, for example) as players may relocate their F-16s there (I did while Bardufoss was under attack)

All,

Updated the Beta download in the first Message above to Version 3.0

Changes...

1. SSBNs are gone (they were just there to gain some VPs IF the opposing play could get to them (unlikely)).
2. More Russian SSN & SS headed to Norwegian Sea.
3. All Strike missions and some surface patrol missions are scrubbed for the human player. I left a few so the Human can just change the patrol area.
4. Reduced the Fighter, Strike and Multi-role aircraft in the UK to 1 Tornado, 1 Typhoon, 1 F-15C & 1 F-15E squadron. The computer will use near the UK and human can do what they want with them.
5. Added two C-17 squadrons in the UK for those wanting to move stores around.
6. Vaernes AFB, Norway has been set up to take the USAF and RAF UK squadrons (all others deleted are assumed to be CAP or support for the UK or committed to the central front).
7. Cleaned up the missions and removed unavailable aircraft.
8. Moved the Anzio SAG closer to the action.

Al

The sub wolf pack took heavy losses, but with the help of F-15Cs sneaking in at wavetop level and splashing ASW Ka-27s, they were able to sink a number of ships, including the 2 BCGNs. Now without long range SAM coverage, the Russians were subjected to salvoes of NSMs and SLAMs, wiping out what remained of their fleet. With no offensive air arm, and no fleet to support an amphibious attack, the battle for NATO's Northern Flank had ended in a victory for NATO.

Final Notes:

Even though I lost most of my subs, I was still awarded a triumph, you may want to change the scoring so players are more punished and don't spam the subs at the enemy ships.
I never used the QE CVBG, nor the Anzio SAG. I don't think they would make it into the AO before the major fighting was over even if a player was much more patient than me. Maybe they should start closer to Norway?
I ended my scenario with 2d 23hr remaining, and other than the Backfire ARM and Blackjack cruise missile attack every 24hrs, the Russians don't have anything to throw at me, and I have no intention of facing the S-400s in the Kola. Scenario should be a bit shorter?
Looking at the editor, I notice that at Fedotovo airfield, a number of bears are supposed to take off, but the taxiways are too small for them to taxi on. I would make it a single unit airfield both to improve performance and to make sure the bears can take off.
I moved the NASAMs to positions on mountains, 1 near Evenes, Andoya, and Bardufoss. Not sure if this was intended, but they weren't doing anything near Bodo. Maybe include a tidbit about what the player should do with them in the editor?


Overall, I like the scenario a lot! Good job with this one!

5. Added two C-17 squadrons in the UK for those wanting to move stores around.


Just so you know, currently airplanes cannot transfer munitions simply by taking off at one airbase and landing at another, you have to use LUA to do this. Otherwise, the player can simulate this by ferrying the C-17s to another airport and then going into editor and manually entering the munitions into the ammo bunker.

Thanks, I have never gotten quite that far as I am always tweaking things before I get to that point. I expected the Russians would give a better accounting with the Admiral Nakhimov just fitted out.

My subs have also taken heavy hits early on and I lost the Newport News and the two Norwegian boats trying to make runs on the Russian SAG/CVBG.

Yeah will increase the scoring for the subs, and decrease the scoring for the Russian Merchants.

Actually I already did for the Anzio SAG (GIUK Gap) and will move up the QE CVBG

Maybe three days? Or maybe increasing chances of an early end after day two with greater chances with each 6 hour period?

I have reduced NATO aircraft Substantially (minus two Tornado, two Typhoon and one F-15E squadron) so that might balance things a bit more?

I wouldn't want anyone to have to do anything in the editor. I just ingested them from the file and left where they were set up. Will move them.

I new to this game let alone cargo operations. I added them for those much more advanced than myself.

I meant to say briefing instead of editor, sorry! But I do think just moving them yourself so the player doesn't have to would work better.

I think that the reduction in NATO aircraft would work, however, I didn't use any of my Tornado or F-15E aircraft because the subs + missile boats were more than enough, and there are no land targets where they would really come in handy. The Typhoon squadron can provide that extra boost in AAW power just like the F-15Cs did for me, so I think they are alright.

As for the Russians, currently, their only real AAW aircraft come from the carrier, while I would imagine that a real 2019 WW3 scenario would see a lot more aircraft coming from the Kola bases, rather than just a handful of Mig-31s. For an example of this, I would take a peak at Gunner98's "H-Hour" scenario in his Northern Fury series, which is nearly the same premise as yours, just in 1994.

I was thinking of adding more Russian aircraft. The problem is from what I can tell PVO has really atrophied. I think if this battle really happened the Russians would be sailing into a modern day Tsushima!

I'm going to move the Russian subs that were guarding the SSBN Bastion further forward into the Norwegian Sea.

Just noticed that NATO tracks the Commercial Tug Boat in the Kuznetzov task group. Probably don't want that.

Hey thanks for the input, been busy with a 66 hour week last week so first chance to reply! So how are they tracking her? Radar? She needs to be part of the battle group as the Kuznetsov never sails without her.

I was Navy, but Assigned TAD to the 24th MAU Hq in Beirut. By far the finest period of my service!

I was thinking of adding more Russian aircraft. The problem is from what I can tell PVO has really atrophied. I think if this battle really happened the Russians would be sailing into a modern day Tsushima!


My opinion is that you should do whatever you feel is most realistic. Most of us love CMANO because it provides at least a suggestion of realism, not because every scenario is a nail-biting challenge. I feel like too many scenario designers are worried about creating some artificial sort of balance but real life isn't balanced. (I think it's a different story if you introduce some alternative history or speculative future concepts to "explain the balance.")
