Battle Islands

The Hawar Islands were given to Bahrain by the International Court after a long dispute with Qatar. However, after cash-stricken Bahrain awarded oil and gas concessions to Malaysia and Iran near the Hawar Islands, Qatar decided to recapture the islands and teach Bahrain a lesson.

Checkmate

The Chinese War of Reunification has begun. American forces are surging as Chinese forces pummel Taiwan. The Kitty Hawk strike group is set to sail at any moment but the PLAN has plans to end American involvement before it ever begins.

In Harms Way

Iran has proclaimed that US warships will not be allowed into the Persian Gulf and interfere with their war with Iraq. The battleship New Jersey and her escorts will make her rethink this policy.

Here some more Random Picks.
My favorite scenarios designed with the PlayersDB. I do not know if theses scenarios will be playable with the ANW-MP, but if so, these picks are my absolute favorites!

Campaign #12 - Channel War [scenrios by Herman Hum & Brad leyte];

The 1996 conflict was the beginning of a new arms race. Many weapons slated for retirement were refurbished instead and many procurement programs were accelerated. France never truly recovered from the Iberian conflict of August, 1996. It never again fully trusted its European neighbours although it participated alongside them in the conflicts that followed with Bangladesh, India, and the New Soviet Confederation (NSC).

With the US and NSC effectively removed from participation as major players on the world stage, the EU was the sole remaining "superpower". Rivalries grew between its members in mid-2002 (especially between France and the UK) and France officially withdrew from the EU later that year. On the surface, it appeared that the disagreement was being fueled by the commonly held belief that France was failing to abide by the spirit of the 1998 Code of Conduct on foreign arms sales but some believed that the dispute had much deeper roots.

By Februry, 2003, the UK and France were battling each other with economic sanctions and embargoes and each stepped onto the slippery slope to war once more.

The "MATCHPLAY" series [designed by Freek Schepers]

Excellent scenario-pack!

1st scenario

Terrorist attacks on the Belgium Royal family have left the Dutch Crown Prince next in line to the throne of Belgium. Popular mourning and an uprising has quickly resulted into civil war between the French-speaking Walloons in southern Belgium and the Dutch-speaking Flemish in northern Belgium.

Holland has quickly moved ground forces into Belgium to assert its claim to the throne, while France has tried unsuccessfully to mobilise the UN. But as the Israelis showed in 1967, the UN cannot operate at the pace of modern warfare...

2nd scenario

Second in the MATCHPLAY battleset, playable from the Dutch side.To reinforce the French fleet, the Carrier Charles de Gaulle is moving from the Mediterranean to Brest. The UN has stopped all combat and your mission is to sink Charles de Gaulle using your remaining Dutch submarines

3rd scenario

Third of the MATCHPLAY battleset, playable from the Dutch side.Netherlands has lost a lot of F-16s against France, but most pilots have bailed out over friendly territory and are fit to fly. Belgian F-16s, captured intact, are being readied for operations.Denmark also flies 62 F-16MLUs, based on two bases in Skrydstrup and Aalborg. A daring plan has been developed to raid the Danish airbase of Skrydstrup, neutralise the defences, bring in pilots and maintenance crews by plane, and fly the aircraft to Netherlands.

4th scenario

Holland has moved ground forces into Belgium and defeated French attempts to interfere. The Charles de Gaulle has been sunk and the French air force is licking its wounds.

The UN has authorised all members to take steps to reverse this situation and the UK has taken up the call of duty.
