Default Harpoon 3 scenarios for the PlayersDB

The 38th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

The Svalbard Incident




Following the demise of the "Evil Empire", the West believed that the "Red Threat" had completely evaporated. However, those same Western governments failed to anticipate the profound effects that hunger and poverty would have on the people of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).

The government of the CIS, faced a hungry populace on the verge of rebellion, realized that the West either could not or would not provide the massive capital outlays required to end the depression within the CIS. This left the government with the belief that only two options remained: allow the disintegration of the CIS (and subsequent Western takeover), or seize what was needed to end the economic nightmare.

That choice having been easily made, the military leaders began to look for ways to enhance the probability of a favourable conclusion to the forthcoming war. These military leaders, operating within the newly created "Advisory Council for the Restitution of the CIS Superpower" (consisting entirely of the new power element within the Commonwealth and led by the military) determined that preliminary warnings should be kept to a minimum. Land forces would conduct minimal mobilizations, since the West would require several months to establish a satisfactory defensive posture following their own military cutbacks. This delay would allow the month required to fully mobilize CIS armour and mechanized infantry forces and allow the first phases of a substantial land offensive before the West could effectively respond. The initial "incidents" would be arranged at sea. Diplomatic efforts would be used to confuse the situation by assuring the Western European nations that the CIS had no intention of involving them in its conflict with the United States.

On April 2, CIS naval units began harassing US forces. These actions continued until the morning of April 4, when five CIS-initiated ramming incidents occurred between ships of the two superpowers. Also on the 4th, the CIS discovered a U.S. amphibious task group conducting exercises in the Svalbard Islands...

This scenario is a re-make of a Harpoon Classic scenario from the Harpoon Designers Series I and has been re-made for Harpoon 3 with the consent of AGSI.
