RE: What are you working on?
i was trying to do a scenario based around a defecting russian sov DDG but i havent been able to get the events right at all, so i have started and set up mostly a new scenario based on a HUCE GIUK battelset mission, cut the noose, which is a US Carrier group attack on an AB in Iceland with anti-sub Nimrods assisting from Stornoway AFB.
I am still though really needing some help with making some events/triggers/actions = i will make a separate post in case it is lost in this thread

RE: What are you working on?
Currently working on an old Harpoon 4 scenario set in the Persian Gulf. Simple ASuW scenario.
Be nice.
RE: What are you working on?
You know, this scenario designing and building are a lot of work... and is a lot of fun. My wife thinks I'm weird because of this, but then we spend hours and hours putting up holiday decorations which two weeks later we take down. Who's crazy there? [:D]
Anyway, it's amazing the number of dumb mistakes I'm making just trying to get a simple little scenario done in my War Of The Little Islands series. However, I'll throw out another teaser, this time from my Prologue document

Hmm, maybe the reason the scenario is taking so long is because I'm adding things like Prologue documents [:)]Background
After World War 2, the forces of Democracy and Communism spread throughout the world. Various nations struggled to remain unaligned, but the lure of ideology, money and power swayed governments to chose sides. Two of those governments were on small islands in the center of the Pacific Ocean, Palmyra Atoll and Jarvis Island. Without much in the way of natural resources or inherent wealth, nevertheless their location, proximity to each other and value as symbols to the Great Powers made them pawns in a twentieth century Great Game.

RE: What are you working on?
This thread has me excited about what's to come. Best of luck, scenario designers!
RE: What are you working on?
Just working on a small ASW scenario in 1950 involving a US CVE and soviet subs.
Thats how I noticed the weird deck gun behaviour.

RE: What are you working on?
I have over half doze scenarios half-made. More or less learning to make events and get more potential out of editor. Everytime I make scenario it grows and grows and finally it's left half-done. Now I plan to make very simple scenario. US carrier Enterprise attacking Soviet sub base & airfield. Few units, less hassle and quicker to make and hopefully finally released. This is late Cold War set on 1983 in Pacific.

After I started playing OP Brass Drum I wondered that such "rogue state" scens like Iran would be a lot more challenging from the "other side".
Like prevent your nuclear installations being destroyed as Iranian.

Amazingly no North Korea Scenarios yet...

RE: What are you working on?
I've got a near-future ASW-with-LCS scenario set in the Philippines at about 75% done right now. I've also got an Operation Djadjawidjaja (Netherlands vs Indonesia in '62 New Guinea, based on almost true events) scenario in the initial stages.
RE: What are you working on?
I probably over-think these things...
I've been playing around with some random scenario generation tables for brainstorming. I already have a bunch of them. It's not a coherent system, just a bunch of brainstorming tools. The most recent additions are a "basic World War III mission type" table (very general...it lists the five most likely mission types and then has "other or roll again" as option 6) and two 01-20 "Theater" tables listing various locations where action might take place ("East Coast of the United States," "Straits of Gibraltar," "Gulf of Aden," etc.) Not surprisingly, one of the other tables lets me determine the year of a particular conflict. Put these three together and you've got several hundred possibilities for "what if" World War III scenarios.
For example, one set of rolls gives me...
Year: 1965
Mission Type: Defend land facilities from attack
Theater: Central Mediterranean
In this theater, a Soviet attack is likely to involve long range bombers, and they would probably be going after airfields...hmmmm...just off the top of my head, I'm envisioning a duel between Tu-16s going after Italian air bases (maybe flying first over Bulgaria, or stopping there to refuel, and then sweeping out due West) and some appropriate NATO fighters, like the F-86. Hmmm....I'll have to think about this one...

RE: What are you working on?
i currently working two scenario this time
Libyan hostage rescue. Hypothetical story of the US intervention in Benghazi. Three side (US, Libyan and Islamist rebels) and one side playable (US).
Scenario about 95% done, point system and English translation left.
Attack of the Iceland. Based on Red Storm Rising. Only US side playable. Five distinct storyline and more than seventy events, triggers and actions.
Scenario about 70% done including adventures of Beagle.
Both scenario includes good quality custom layers.

RE: What are you working on?
I think I have A.D.D. I start one, start referencing deep, probably too deep, learn something new then start another one with the info I learned, start referencing that one, and so on. It's a vicious circle I get stuck in.
RE: What are you working on?
I have another 1950 scenario in the pipeline:
"Sink the Yavuz!"
Problem is I can't get the turks to shoot back.
Apparently being on a short bombardment mission means you have to be totally passive even when 4 soviet destroyers are inside your formation, slaughtering your escort (who also don't do a thing) and launch 40 torpedoes at you at point blank range.
In an act of cruel irony, only 5 of those hit and even that fails to sink german quality battlecruisers

RE: What are you working on?
I'm currently working on a Scenario called 'Global Flight 167 is Down' Dealing with a Mideast modern scenario when a diplomatic flight is hijacked and a rescue mission is launched on the island of Kish off of Iran. Lots of events and triggers. USA/Allied player side. Includes Chinese, Chinese volunteers, Iran, Iranian Revolutionary's, Russia, India and Pakistan. Some have minor roles..... or maybe Major roles hehehehe......anyway, it's a work in progress to get the timing and manageability playable. AAR and Beta coming soon!!

RE: What are you working on?
Some good projects here!
I'm playing around with the editor for the first time. I was making up a fictional standoff between Equatorial Guinea and the United Kingdom, implementing 'soft power' and not all out conflict.

RE: What are you working on?
I'm working on a small ASW/protection of shipping scenario, pitting a pre-LCS carrier strike group vs. diesel-electric submarines in littoral waters. Not really unique or inspired, just something to get my more familiar with the editor. I'm also thinking about remaking my old H3 scenario (Alpha Strike), maybe moderately expanded in scope to include the initial dash past their surveillance systems. Although I'm not too sure about how well it will go over with the CMANO crowd if I use fictional opposition...
RE: What are you working on?
There's a bunch of existing scenarios with fictional opfors. Go right ahead.

Awesome. I actually saw in another thread you mentioned "Orangeland" adversaries, which made me chuckle because that's the name I picked for my fictional OPFOR.
