Excellent Loon (1976) -- new scenario for testing

[Mgellis]

Here is another Cold War scenario for testing, a sub hunt (well, "catch and release," really), in the waters of the Gulf of Saint Lawrence.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

Struggling to load this one, not getting playable sides options?
Get the scenario brief but nothing else loads, anyone else successfully getting the side options?

What build are you using? This was done with Build 507, the new post-v1.03 Build.

I'm checking it now...it seems to run fine on my machine.

Worked fine for me, playing it now

No issues on first playthrough, except perhaps the Engage Nonhostiles Side ROE. Checked the ASW patrol helos in time, but a tracker came in and sunk a sub. oops...

Wouldn't have minded a tracker or two ready to launch at start to cut out the downtime feel of first minutes.

Also expected the enemy subs to be a bit harder to find, was searching all around fringes with air assets and the DDH steaming through middle spotted them first.

Will redo over weekend.

Nice little scenario, thanks.

I really like the way that scenario authors are using CMANO to recreate those not-quite wartime operations that were a feature of the real Cold War era.

That's a big part of why the title is "operations" and not "combat" or "warfare". That's exactly what we wanted to enable.
