<t> YES! I've long thought the Sunda Straits Crisis was crying out for a scenario, too. From time to time I tinker with putting something together, but I'm no scenario builder...<br/>
<br/>
If anyone is looking at doing this, I have a fair amount of research material saved that I'd be happy to ...

Great links, Fido81, thanks for those. I'd seen the Tokarev piece but the piece on Reagan's naval strategy was new to me. Fascinating!

<t> Gunner, thanks for the tip! I'll have to check out Out on a Limb. I generally open up Northern Fury scenarios, take a wide-eyed look around for a couple minutes, then close them in terror...<br/>
<br/>
On Hold the Line, I didn't run the scenario multiple times, so it's possible it was a one ...

<t> Yeah, I think it's clear that hitting a CVBG way out in the Atlantic wasn't something Soviet doctrine really considered (much less hitting convoys, which was completely alien to the way their strategists looked at these bombers). That said, one of the reasons I really wanted to make this ...

<r> I recently revisited this scenario to take another crack at solving the refueling issues. As I was again hitting a wall, I looked for and found a couple of community scenarios with a similar setup of Backfires and Badgers attacking NATO naval groups in the Atlantic from Olenogorsk and other ...

Thanks, Havoc! Well, don't I feel silly...at least I did start by saying I was probably doing something wrong. I was right about that, at least. [:)]

Thanks again for figuring it out, and good to know these strikes work as designed against SAM threats.

Can you post this along with a save file in the tech support forum?

Done, thanks.

<t> I'm probably doing something wrong, but I've had no success with strike missions targeting specific SAM sites -- this is running the Russian Civil War phase I scenario based on the Janes' F/A-18 Kola campaign. The mission flights take off, form up, then declare "mission over" and get into the ...

<r> Thanks. Yeah, I'm increasingly realizing that it might just not be possible to do a scenario like this as CMO is currently set up. If you've got 48 Backfires and 24 tankers, and any Backfire that refuels is going to drain the tanker, the math is crystal clear. You're going to have 24 Backfires ...

<t> Hi all,<br/>
<br/>
I've been playing around from time to time over the last couple of years with building a Dance of the Vampires scenario, but I've never really gotten past a basic issue, which is that I can't seem to make refueling for the Tu-22s and Tu-16s work -- making it hard for them to ...
