The 39th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

Middleweights

Past Japanese militarism and colonial rule has continued to strain relations with its neighbours, most notably, South Korea. One of the principal disputes between them has been over territorial claims to a pair of tiny rocky islets that lie almost mid-way between them in the Sea of Japan, know as Dokdo in the ROK and Takeshima in Japan. These desolate rocks sit in rich deepwater fishing grounds and above unexploited energy reserves potentially worth billions.

Past threats by Japan to conduct a survey of the area, presumably in preparation for drilling efforts, have been met by South Korea sending reinforcements to shore up its Coast Guard presence there. Persistent North Korean hostility has only served to aggravate the tension between the South and Japan. The South has consistently refused to join in enforcing tough sanctions against the DPRK, frustrating Tokyo's efforts to rein in Pyongyang. The American withdrawal from the Peninsula two years earlier and its current pre-occupation with the Middle East war, have underscored a long past history of distancing itself from the Dokdo-Takeshima dispute.

This scenario was originally written by Brad Leyte for the Harpoon Classic Commander's Edition and has been re-built for Harpoon 3 with the consent of the author.
