This scenario will be the second installment of the WWIII 1987 series of scenarios based on the conflict modeling for the blog World War III 1987 (ww31987.wordpress.com) It has been a while since my last scenario but I expect to be quite active here in the coming weeks. Anyhow....

This scenario ...

Looking good WW3, but not for me! Already got dinged by a tail gun.[:)]

Yeah, those tail guns are a nasty surprise, aren't they? I've lost a fighter or seven to those guys. [:)]

As a long-time reader of your blog, this is very exciting!

It's been a long time coming. Now that I have some extra time, I want to get some scenarios out

Thanks! I'm glad I finally found the time to start posting on here. I did a lot of the air and naval gaming of the conflict with CMANO. I ...

Thanks for the tips, Soren and I'll work on fixing them this weekend. I actually think I have a set of the radars set up properly on a flash drive somewhere. Will be searching for it soon.

Definitely helped. Thanks!

Afternoon everyone! A couple years ago I dropped the rough draft version of a scenario titled Northeast Air Defense 1961 on here. It was centered around a Soviet bomber attack on the northeastern US and Canada. The Berlin Crisis of 1961 spiraled out of control and led to a Third World War ...

Awesome job so far! I'm following and enjoying it. Hope you don't mind but I put a link up to your blog on my own blog. If I can help you out in any way, email me at ww31987blog@gmail.com or get me through the blog.

<t> Happy New Year everyone. I've been a bit busy and not able to revise this scenario as fast as I'd hoped but I've finally been able to begin making changes at least. I've loaded the new version of the scenario above, replacing the original one. This version includes some modest changes and will ...

Hi WW31987Blog<br/>
<br/>
Randomizer have already said most of what I want to say, but I have a few things.<br/>
First and most importantly.<br/>
<br/>
You have a lot of AN/FPS-6C radar sites along the coast, but these radars are Height ...

Thank you for the response. As for the Sabres, the last of them in RCAF service were the Golden Hawks aerobatic team that was disbanded in 1964. I saw them as a child at the Canadian National Exhibition airshow in Toronto and while I don't ...

You can never have too many NORAD air defence scenarios, so thanks for this, am looking forward to running it through.<br/>

This scenario covers a hypothetical large scale Red (Soviet) bomber attack against North America in late October of 1961. The Berlin Crisis has escalated to a major conflict and ...

Looks like this will be my post-Christmas scenario to dive into once all the family and friends have left. This looks quite interesting! [:)]

<QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>.. part of the fun of Command scenarios is learning about history (for instance, I hadn't realized just how strong American air defenses were in 1961)..

A very interesting scenario. I'm actually working on something similar set in 2018 so it is fascinating seeing how much technology has changed.<br/>

Personally, I would have preferred if you had kept the Soviet forces historically ...

<t> This scenario covers a hypothetical large scale Red (Soviet) bomber attack against North America in late October of 1961. The Berlin Crisis has escalated to a major conflict and pushed the world to the edge of nuclear war. The player takes command of Blue (US and Canada) air defenses in ...

WW III 1987: Air Campaign Denmark 10 July Final Draft

Good points, Butch. I suppose it wouldn't be so bad to toss in some Redeyes or Stingers. Just a handful. Same for warships. Maybe a West German frigate here, or a Danish FAC there to liven things up a bit. <E>:)</E><br/>
<br/>
Flipping the scenario and playing it from the Red ...

<t> I'm three hours into the scenario and am enjoying it. Have to say, with Germany reunified in this timeline, the Soviet strategy for the Baltic Approaches suffers. If they still had the East German airbases available, they'd be able to put more pressure on Denmark far sooner. <br/>
<br/>
I'll ...
