"Somali Pirates"
Author: Freek Schepers
Game Engine: ANW 3.9.3
Database: PDB
My first impression: Looks like an unusual scenario. The thematic issue is up to date. I´m curious how this will work out for Nato side.
November, 1st, 2008, 12:00 - On we go!
Ok, mission is to guard the Norway, Kimi and Austrain Trader. Thus I have to find them and vector my vessels in their directions.
1. 12:02 Found the three HVUs and plotted intercept courses for my ships. Oh Lord - so many ships on the ocean and so few guardians!
2. 12:50 Freek is really tough with the player. Just detected that he has unloaded the Harpoons from Nato´s ships [&:]
3. 15:20 Waiting for the enemy. A classical "Needle in the Hay"
4. 16:45 A Cigarette racer is firing ! Where and at which target? It´s the Samarkand. 7% damage so far. No HVU, yes - but I have to guard all MRCH if possible, I guess. Too far out. My scarce force are overstretched.
5. 17:40 Closing in; Samarkand now suffers from 10% damage.
6. 21:28 Samarkand up to 42% damage - and nothing I can do it looks like.
7. 22:52 A fishing vessel fires at a Merchant
8. This happens on De Ruyter´s way towards the Samarkand - I´m lucky this time: The fishing vessels is sunk by missile fire.
9. 23:14 My frind, the Cigarette racer, has been redetected!
Second Day: November, 2nd
10. 00:25 De Ruyter comes closer
11. 01:10 Dutch triumph: De Ruyter sinks the Cigarette racer, thus scoring its second kill
12. 02:50 A Sampan firing at another merchant ! It is the Lauren, getting a pounding.
13. Brave De Ruyter is instantly redirected and on its way.
14. 06:26 Another Sampan firing. The Al Hasan gets 5% damage. How to secure all these merchants with that few assets and ASuW incapable helos? Not spoken of my missing Harpoons. [:(]
15. 08:40 De Ruyter sinks this Sampan, too. Three cheers for the Netherlands. Will it be enough?
16. All three HVUs are now closely guarded by Nato vessels. That is all I can do.
17. 12:00 Game Over - lost!
I failed to prevent two MRCH from taking 1% damage. And I managed to score only three kills, not four.
A most interesting scenario, Freek!
