The 57th NEW Harpoon scenario of the year!

08.2 Correo Entrante

LOCATION: North Atlantic
DTG: 011930MAY91Z

The Soviets have two weapons that can reach NATO convoys in the Atlantic: submarines and aircraft. Long-range strike bombers on the Kola peninsula can attack at will with Iceland in Soviet hands. A standard convoy includes 40-50 merchant ships spaced 1nm apart in a rectangular latticework. Eight to ten escorts, and, if they are lucky, a helicopter carrier will provide protection from submarines and air attack.

Here, a large NATO convoy has been detected by a Soviet Radar Ocean Reconnaissance Satellite (RORSAT) and Tu-95 Bear Ds are sent out to pinpoint their position. Following closely behind the Bears are two squadrons of Backfire bombers.

This could be a very bad day for NATO.

*NOTE - This is a rebuild of a scenario from the original paper rules of Harpoon as published in the "Battles of the Third World War" compilation from Game Designers' Workshop.

ORDERS FOR CDR TF Dedalo

While our convoy was forming up off the coast of Boston, a Soviet amphibious force landed on Iceland. They have since consolidated their position on the island and brought in reinforcements.

Reports indicate that Soviet bombers, including Tu-95 Bears, Tu-16 Badgers, Tu-22 Blinders, and Tu-22M Backfires are now based at Reykjavik and Keflavik. Expect attacks to be regimental strength. The submarine threat is unknown at this time.
