Hi!
This is a beta release for a short and not that complex "peace-time" mission set during the cold war.
Any inputs would be helpful for the final release since this is my firs real attempt on mission making for Command.
Hints:
-Micro-management is very useful, especially of the dipping sonar (thanks for adding that command in the latest update).
-Read up on the capabilities of the few assets you have at you disposal so that you use them correctly.

In the calmest waters swim the ugliest fish (1985)
Sweden vs USSR (Littoral ASW)
Background
The submarine hunts or submarine incidents were a series of several incidents involving foreign submarines that occurred in Swedish territorial waters during the Cold War, more specifically during the 1980s. In this time, there was intensive debate and speculation in Swedish media about the possibility of Soviet submarine infiltration of Swedish territorial waters.
The Swedish navy responded aggressively to these perceived threats, increasing patrols in Swedish waters, mining and electronically monitoring passages, and repeatedly chasing and attacking suspected submarines with depth charge bombs, but no hits or casualties were offically ever recorded.
Reports of new submarine sightings and television imagery of Swedish Navy helicopters firing depth charges into coastal waters against suspected intruders became commonplace in the mid-to-late 1980s. They remain, for many Swedes, one of the iconic images of the Cold War and of the Swedish relation to the Soviet Union—for some underlining what was considered a major threat to Swedish sovereignty.
Scenario setting
This scenario takes place on 1 May 1985. You are acting commander of the Swedish West Naval Command (Marinkommando Väst) with HQ in Gothenburg, the port of Scandinavia. Its a national holiday and limited forces are currently available through out the country.
Two patrol vessels HMS Modig and HMS Munter are out in the Kategatt, conducing vessel traffic controll along the heavily trafficed shipping route between Sweden and Denmark. Alert figher jets are standing by at Såtenäs airbase, and the helicopters are being readied at Säve airbase. Except for the officers, all other ranks throughout your organization are manned by conscripts.
