On a side note, if you are looking for images of ships, aircraft, etc., I believe the ones produced by the US military or other federal agencies are usually in the public domain. (Obviously, check and make sure before you use an image, but there are a huge number of military images on Wikipedia that ...

Another 1968 scenario. It is the second day of the war and elements of the Royal Navy have been assigned to hunt down Soviet submarines in the eastern Atlantic and the North Sea. You'll be assisted by an American anti-submarine carrier, Wasp , and by aircraft at Kinloss, but it will be a difficult ...

Absolutely agree. While I hope a few truly fanciful platforms (sea monsters, flying saucers, etc.) might someday be added to the databases, because they would be fun, I think we should limit most hypothetical platforms to those with some basis in reality. That's why I was thinking the platforms ...

So...what if Nazi Germany made peace with Europe after the fall of France in 1940?

Germany controls much of Europe--France, the Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg, Austria, and much of Poland is now the territory of the Reich. The world of great powers continues with America, the British Empire ...

I'm not sure this has been discussed anywhere, but it is possible to save ships modified in one scenario and use them in other scenarios. This is done by making the ship(s) or the group containing the ship(s) into an import/export .inst file. Probably not discussed very often if at all because I don ...

I was playing around with ideas for how to model various military operations other than war, and I had an idea about how to model peacekeeping.

I imagine a scenario with at least three sides. A and B hate each other. C is the peacekeepers. A and B might be unfriendly to C, but not hostile.

What ...

Thank you! Looking forward to it.

People have started writing books with AI. My experience is that an actual novel created by an AI is usually mediocre at best (and frequently much worse). However, as a brainstorming tool, an AI can be really useful.

For example, I'm currently writing a series of scenarios about a global crisis set ...

These are interesting ideas. Thank you.

Yes, a big build-up in Czechoslovakia would allow the Soviets the suppress the Prague Spring while making the West believe a second front will open up in that part of Europe. There would be conflicting intelligence on this point, but enough people would be ...

Friends,

I'm working on a new series of scenarios. It assumes World War III started in 1968 with the Soviets attempting to seize territory in both eastern and western Turkey--they want to control the Turkish straits and to create an open corridor of territory leading to Syria and Iraq. If they can ...

Thanks for the feedback.

Yeah, I'm figuring the best strategy would be to zap the missile boats with the Canberras, then use the submarines to eliminate as much of the big SAG as possible. You still have some surprisingly lethal patrol boats and a couple of submarines to deal with; the latter is ...

Just uploaded version 2.

I've removed the Kynda and replaced her with another Soviet cruiser. The Soviets and the Syrians both still have missile boats. I also changed the number of aircraft...the player now gets 4 Canberras and 4 Shackletons (for ASW) on Cyprus, and 4 F-100s at Incirlik.

I look ...

I played around with a few different options and decided to swap out the Kynda for a Kirov-class cruiser. The group still has the two Kashin-class destroyers to provide anti-air coverage with their SAMs, and both cruisers have guns with a 12-mile range (longer than the 10-mile range of the biggest ...

Thanks, as always, for the feedback.

My understanding is the F-100s were American aircraft stationed in Turkey.

"After the Lebanon crisis, TAC deployed F-100 fighter squadrons on 100-day rotations to Incirlik from the United States. The flying mission at Incirlik further diversified in 1970 when ...

Newest beta...

As battle rages in the skies over Turkey, the Turkish navy must deal with its own challenges. A Soviet SAG, and groups of missile boats, are located off the coast of Syria. Soviet submarines are in Turkish waters, too. The Syrians, while limited to smaller vessels, are also on the ...

Any other thoughts on this scenario? Did the revisions handle the issues people have reported or are more changes needed before I submit it to the Community Scenario Pack? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the feedback. One of the changes I made to the second version was to remove the Scuds. I thought it would be an interesting addition to have them, and I was curious to see how effective they would be, but I think they make it too hard to defend the Nike Hercules sites (and it's already ...
