Kolkata Thresher (1982) -- new scenario for testing

[Mgellis]

Here is the beta version of my newest scenario. It is 1982, Bangladesh has collapsed into a civil war, India and China are backing different factions, and India decides it has to stop a Chinese convoy from resupplying the Bangladeshi rebels.

Please let me know what you think. Thanks!

F15 Abu Bakr ? is it meant to be a baddie or a goodie, perhaps you added it whist editing the INDIA side so it appears as a blue to india ?

There are two sides for Bangladesh...one is Bangladesh itself, being supported by India (they have the Abu Bakr, so that it is why it is blue) and the rebels, being supported by China, who have seized the other major Bangladeshi ship available at the time. So, yes, the Abu Bakr is a good guy, just not one you control. You do lose points if someone sinks her, though.

goodie then,

Its playing well so far, well constructed. I like the force mix very much.
Nice use of exclusion zones etc.

perhaps beef up the chinese escort or rebel AF, i was able to defeat it with little trouble using the jaguars and the foxtrot
but perhaps my MIG-21s got lucky.

hehe i spoke to soon, the chinese sub found my foxtrot

Interesting tactical problem with a low unit density and some seldom seen unit types. Indian air power seems pretty decisive but all seems to be working as designed and have always had a weakness for Osa Class missile boats. No issues with the Indian AF OOB though, such things should be expected when wandering into somebody's back yard.

My Foxtrot found nothing but at least it didn't die.

All in all, a nice little scenario. Thanks.

Any more suggestions, observations, etc. for this one? Is it ready to submit to the Community Scenario Pack? Thanks.
