Standalone Scenarios

Armageddon is a Tidal Wave

 This is a massive sub-hunt scenario inspired by Patrick Robinson’s book SCIMITAR SL-2.

Formosa

 Due to internal unrest, Mainland China decided it could not wait any longer tore-claim the rebellious province of Taiwan.

Red Flag 2004

 A US CVBG/ARG has to attack two well equipped and technically sophisticated neighboring enemies.

 Tensions between China and Taiwan are on the rise again. Washington moves the available submarine forces into the theater, including the SSBN 733 Nevada.

The India-Pakistan Conflict

 The crisis over Kashmir escalated. The new Indian and Pakistani leaders vowed two days ago to destroy the nuclear capabilities of the other.

The Might of the House of Saud

 Things were changing fast in the Middle East after the Coalition left Iraq in January 2005. The House of Saud was forced to cut a deal with the opposition, and western military forces would no longer be allowed to interfere with Arabian politics and economics…

The Saudi Revolution

 Saudi fundamentalists, supported by Iranian subversives, has forced the Saudi King into exile. It became clear that these nations intend to pursue joint plans to eradicate the Israeli nation from the map.

The Typhoon Defection

 The deal between China and Russia to purchase two Typhoon class SSBN together with nuclear warheads did not materialize – mainly because Beijing found a cheaper alternative: a Russian submarine captain is willing to defect with his boat.

Wolf and Rabbit

China Series

Blue Water Expedition

 China has formed a military alliance with Myanmar. This move is being opposed by most members of ASEAN. India declared that any positioning of Chinese military units on Burmese soil or in Burmese waters would be considered an unfriendly act, risking a surgical response.

Kilos from Komsomolsk

 Russia sold six brand new Kilo class submarines to the perceived 21st decade enemy of the USA, and has promised to ensure safe delivery into Chinese waters.

Tensions in the South China Sea

 It has been a well kept secret among the Chinese and Vietnamese forces that they have been contesting the Parcels Islands for more than a decade, with the Vietnamese leading the fray, as, apparently, they are more fierce than their opponents.

Spratly Conflict

 It is by now believed that the shooting war over the Paracels Islands was a deviation from the real Chinese target: the Spratlys.

Ingress

 China is attempting to move equipment into Myanmar by clandestine measures, both by air and ocean freight.

The Akula Trap

 China, threatening to invade Taiwan, lures the U.S. 7th Fleet into a devastating trap. Three years ago the Chinese Navy secretly purchased four Akula II submarines from Russia, and now the crews are fully trained to assault an American carrier battle group.

Armada

 China invades Taiwan in a moment when the USA have no carrier force in the region. The Taiwanese Navy, Army and Air Force are on red alert, and both America and Japan have pledged to bring in any immediate support that they can administer.

Operation Seawolf

 The island of Taiwan was invaded a year ago, and both the USA and Japan were unable to bring in sufficient forces in time to drive the invading Chinese Army back into the sea. Now the USA is marshaling forces and trying to convince the UN to launch a counter-invasion.

Coup de Grace

 In secret negotiations which started already three years ago, the USA and Vietnam agreed that Vietnam would provide base facilities for strikes against China and the liberation of Taiwan.

The Liberation of China

 After months of political discussions and an expired ultimatum, the United Nations agreed to attack the Chinese invaders on Taiwan and launch at the same time a full scale attack against any military installation on mainland China.

Indonesian Crisis

The Indonesian president Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur) was ousted by the military in a bloody coup d’etat. ASEAN has launched an operation to restore democracy in the country.

Part 1

 ASEAN is moving an amphibious task force towards Java for a landing in Tanjong Priok. The landing will be supported by paratroops. For ASEAN it is a difficult task, as Malaysia and Singapore have gained a bit of experience in conducting joint operations.

Part 2

 This part of the series deals with the approach of the supporting Thai SAG and the first military intervention of the Royal Thai Navy in modern times.

Part 3

 Part three of the mini-series deals with the main assault by the Singaporean and Malaysian PHIBRONs and the attempt to land paratroopers in Jakarta and Tanjong Priok.

Liberation of Russia

The Russian military overthrew the elected government in a bloody coup d’etat. After an uprising of the Russian population and horrendous bloodshed in the streets of all major Russian cities, the UN decided to put an end to the might of the Russian military and to install democratic forces once again.

Baltic

 Move your light carrier task force/amphibious group to the Latvian coast south of the ice field and disembark your troops for an overland assault on St. Petersburg. The Baltic states have granted the UN rights of passage. Engage all Russian military bases with preemptive strikes.

Kola

 Conduct an amphibious landing at the Kola Peninsula. Preliminary strikes against a number of bomber bases have been successful. The Russian military now needs to be defeated once and for all in order to secure a lasting peace and a democratic evolution in this country.

Black Sea

 Part 3 deals with the assault on Rostov and Krasnodar and the attack on Moscow. Most Russian air assets have been moved to the Kola theater. However, it is estimated that both Krasnodar and Moscow will be heavily defended.

Pacific Theater

 Our success in Europe forced the Russian military leadership to focus their main attention on the Far East. Both Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk must be considered as the last Russian bastions of major resistance. Destroy Vladivostok and Petropavlovsk.

New East Asian Prosperity Sphere

After the landslide victory of the Democrats in the USA in 2008, the nation immediately went into a stage of international isolation. Military spending was cut drastically. Mothballed military equipment such as two FORRESTAL class carriers were sold to Japan, warships and submarines were sold to South Korea, and so on. All this stopped all of a sudden when a militaristic government took over in Japan in the middle of 2009 and managed the unification of the Korean peninsula, again without bloodshed. In 2010 China joined the pack, and in 2011 a coalition with the name New East Asian Prosperity Sphere was born. By the end of 2011, most Southeast Asian nations were threatened to become a member of the pact or face economic isolation or war. Many of them succumbed and were relatively peacefully annexed, only Vietnam and Indonesia offered stiff resistance and came up with a real fight. The Singapore Navy and Air Force escaped to Vietnam, while Malaysia sent her navies and air forces to Java or India respectively.

A cry for help

 Chinese troops are 30 km north of Hanoi, but cannot advance any longer due a tremendous partisan effort of the Vietnamese population. NEAPS troops, however, have successfully occupied the oil- and gas-rich installations in Sarawak, Brunei, Kalimantan, Irian Jaya and Sumatra. Australia, scared that NEAPS is closing up to her northern shores, intends to establish base in East Timor.

Defeat in the Java Sea

 The Joint New East Asian Prosperity Sphere HQ for Southeast Asia has requested substantial reinforcements to ensure a successful amphibious landing near Jakarta to gain control over all of the Indonesian archipelago, but the remaining loyal Indonesian forces, together with their ANZAC and British allies, promised to offer tough resistance.

Siberian Resources

 The New East Asian Prosperity Sphere, having gained complete control of all of Southeast Asia, is consolidated. An ultimatum has been sent to Moscow: surrender Siberia or face war. Russia decides within one hour on the appropriate answer: war. With her military still in bad shape, the world holds its breath: will the regional conflict turn into a nuclear escalation?
