More summer love: Community Scenario Pack #51 released

August 22, 2025 · Posted in Command, Community Scenario Pack · Comment

Following the release of the v1.08 update for Command, which includes the new v512 databases, Kushan has now also updated the famous Community Scenario Pack (CSP), the Command community’s curated anthology of user-created scenarios. The new update refreshes 4 existing works and contains 13 new scenarios:

Aegean Hunting Party, 1968: It came as a bit of a surprise that the main Soviet target was not West Germany, but Turkey. Following missile boat attacks that sank three NATO vessels in the Black Sea, the Soviets and their allies began a massive assault on Turkish air bases and air defenses. At the same time, Soviet and Syrian forces struck Turkish and British vessels in the northeastern corner of the Mediterranean.
It is now the second day of the war. As Commander of NATO forces in the Eastern Mediterranean (COMEDEAST), you are responsible for naval operations in the waters surrounding Greece. At the moment, your main concerns are to clear these waters of Soviet forces and to get to safety any merchant vessels trying to reach Greek ports.

Casamance 1 – Arrival, 1986: This is the first of a set of scenarios using the Casamance Conflict in West Africa as their background.
The ongoing Casamance Conflict started in the 1970s. Members of certain ethnic groups living in the southern part of Senegal (the Casamance region) believe they are marginalized and oppressed and seek to create an independent state. Fifty years later, they have not achieved this goal, but they have also not given up.

Casamance 2 – Reconnaissance, 1986: This is the second of a set of scenarios using the Casamance Conflict in West Africa as their background.

Chafarinas, 2029: The year 2028 was marked by a serious deterioration of relations between Spain and Morocco. Morocco has escalated the conflict in the gray zone regarding the Spanish cities of Ceuta and Melilla using the usual hybrid tools: migratory pressure, economic isolation, media and social media campaigns.
Spain has closed air and naval traffic in the Strait and the Alboran Sea, although there are still some civilian vessels in the area. The Spanish government must successfully resolve the crisis as soon as possible.

Charlie Deuce Takes the Lead, 1970: It is 1970. Yesterday, the Cold War went hot. Winning the war against the Soviet Union will require NATO to protect vital sea lanes.
You have been ordered to find and destroy any Soviet submarines in the waters south of the Italian island of Sardinia, a choke point for both military and commercial shipping traffic moving through the Mediterranean.

Defending Northern Turkey, 1968: Even early in the morning it is warm, and it looks like it is going to be another scorching day here in Eskisehir. Unfortunately, you are beginning to think it will not only be the weather that gets hot.
In recent weeks the Soviets have moved a lot of military hardware into the Ukraine, Bulgaria and Romania. All this could simply mean the Warsaw Pact is preparing for a large military exercise. Or they could be preparing to attack NATO. The Soviets have been getting away with a lot in recent years. Do they think they could get away with attacking Turkey? Will the other members of NATO fight to defend Turkey if it means war with the Soviet Union?

Invasion Re-Invasion, 2025: It’s early days of the Great South China Sea War and the PLA has finally made its move on Taiwan. Most US and allied forces are tied up further north in that theater. Meanwhile, the Chinese Navy has snuck into Renai islands off Malaysia, a N-S diamond shaped island just outside their 9 (10) dash line near the south end of the SCS. The island would be a key base over 400nm closer to the critical straits of Malacca, Sunda and Lombok than their nearest reef outpost. They have caught us off guard… for the moment.

Khrushchev’s War, Day 3 – Duel Near Cape Verde, 1957: It is the third day of the Third World War. NATO, taken by surprise, is trying to blunt the Soviet advance and to organize counterattacks.
The Portuguese colony in Cape Verde would not seem to have much to attract the attention of the Soviets, but it does have an airport that facilitates air traffic between Europe and Latin America. A Soviet surface group on its way back from the Caribbean (and believed to be bringing supplies to the rebels in Cuba) may be getting ready to attack that airport and other facilities on the Island of Sal.

Operation British Harpoon, 1968: It is the second day of the War. As Commander-in-Chief Western Fleet (CINC WF) of the Royal Navy, you also serve as the Commander-in-Chief of NATO’s Eastern Atlantic and Channel commands. At the moment one of your most pressing concerns is to eliminate the threat of any Soviet submarines that may have sortied out of the Baltic Sea and into the waters surrounding the British Isles.
The next few days are going to be very busy.

Operation Rising Lion (Improved), 2025: The world holds its breath. After years of shadow wars and diplomatic failures, the crisis with Iran has reached its boiling point. Intelligence is unequivocal: Iran is on the cusp of developing a nuclear weapon, a threat the State of Israel cannot allow to materialize. The time for talk is over.
As commander of the Israeli Defense Forces, you are about to launch Operation Rising Lion, the most complex and audacious military operation in a generation. This is a single, decisive strike to dismantle Iran’s nuclear ambitions permanently.

Operation True Promise III, 2025: This is the fictional sister scenario to Operation Rising Lion, from the Iranian perspective.

The C-Team, 1968: 55 days ago, the conflict known by many as World War 3 started. Until now, the Caribbean has mostly remained quiet, except for a few Soviet submarines most of which were sunk while trying to enter the Caribbean through one of its many passages and channels.
This all changed 4 days ago when Castro delivered an hour-long speech denouncing the US and its allies, accusing the US of planning to invade Cuba, decrying the continued US ‘occupation’ of Guantánamo Bay and ordering all Cuban forces to be placed at the highest level of readiness.
In response, the US heavily reinforced its forces in the area and prepared to take action to remove the Cuban threat.

Turkish Warships Join the Fight, 1968: It is 1968 and World War III appears to have started. Earlier this morning, the Warsaw Pact began a series of massive attacks against NATO forces, primarily those in Turkey. While Soviet intentions are not fully known at this moment, it looks as if a major goal of the offensive is to seize control of the Turkish Straits.
As Commander Northeastern Mediterranean (COMEDNOREAST), you are responsible for NATO operations in Turkish waters. It has already been a very bad day. You are looking forward to the opportunity to avenge the vessels lost earlier this morning.

A Christmas gift: Community Scenario Pack #50 now available

December 19, 2024 · Posted in Command, Community Scenario Pack · Comment

Following the release of the new Build 1527 update for Command, which includes the new v509 databases, Brandon Johnson has now also updated the famous Community Scenario Pack (CSP), the Command community’s curated anthology of user-created scenarios. The new update, out just in time for the Christmas celebrations, contains 15 new scenarios:

* Assault on Al Tanf, 2024: Located in Syria on the Iraqi border and within miles of the Jordanian border, the U.S. garrison at al-Tanf has, since 2016, served as a launching point for counter-ISIS operations and training for Syrian opposition factions fighting the jihadist group. Iranian and Iran-backed forces are deployed in close proximity to the al-Tanf desert outpost, which sits on the strategically significant Baghdad-Damascus highway. U.S. forces in al-Tanf established a 55-km de-confliction zone, beyond which lie an array of forces described as either “pro-regime” or “Iran-backed” that have set up checkpoints in the area. Several incidents in recent months underscore al-Tanf’s potential as a flashpoint between U.S. and Iranian and/or Iran-backed forces.

* Caravan, 1982: Since the start of the Iraqi invasion, the northern Persian Gulf has been the site of an intense naval war between the Iranian and Iraqi navies. Most of the fighting has been centered around Iraqi attempts to stop the flow of vital material to the port of Bandar-e Emam Khomeyni. The Iranian navy and air force have devoted significant forces to protect the convoys. Slightly over a year ago, the Iraqi navy first deployed a new weapon in their battle against the convoys, the French Exocet anti-ship missile. A few hours ago, Unit 114 of the Directorate of Technical Equipment detected another Iranian convoy departing from Bushehr.

* Dead from EABOve, 2027: Approximately 2 hours ago, following an earlier announcement by PRC of a blockade of Taiwan, US initiated hostilities with China after interdicting a PLAN SAG attempting to transit the Bashi Channel out to the West Pacific.The Chinese have taken the first blow, now they are ready to return the favor. US bases in the Philippines, Palau and Guam will be in their crosshairs.
You will be required to hold off the numerically superior PLA forces and do so while being subjected to heavy bombardment from PLARF elements.
For your forces to survive, they will be required to disperse, and to refuel and rearm at austere locations. Capturing PRC bases in the South China Sea for follow on operations is also a nice option.
This is a complex 2-day scenario, happening just after the author’s other scenarios “Tighten the Straitjacket” and before “Penetrating the Blockade”.

* Khrushchev’s War, Day 1 – France Enters the Fray, 1957: This scenario assumes World War III began in late April of 1957. During most of April in 1957, the Soviets sortied a large number of ships and submarines, claiming they were conducting a series of military exercises.
In the early morning hours of April 25, the Soviets initiated a large and well-coordinated attack on NATO forces.
NATO forces already at sea have been organized into task groups and ordered to hunt down Soviet ships and submarines. It is critical that NATO remain in control of the sea lanes. As commander of a French task group centered around the cruiser De Grasse, your mission will be to secure the waters south and southeast of Sardinia.

* Khrushchev’s War, Day 1 – Poseidon’s Play, 1957: You are in command of the Greek submarine Poseidon. She is actually an old American submarine, the Lapon, recently recommissioned and on loan to the Greek government. However, as her captain, you are sure Poseidon loves her new country as much as she loves the country where she was born.
Today, she will have a chance to prove that love. As the only Greek vessel in the southern waters of the Mediterranean, Poseidon has an opportunity to intercept a Soviet convoy on its way to the Egyptian city of Marsa Matruh. The Egyptians appear to have allied with the Soviets, although they have not yet officially declared war.

* Khrushchev’s War, Day 1 – The Battle of Elefsina, 1957: In the early morning hours of April 25, 1957, you receive a flash priority message. There is credible intelligence that a massive Soviet attack against NATO is about to begin.
As the commanding officer of the 114th Combat Wing of the Hellenic Air Force and its three squadrons of F-86E Sabres, your mission will be to help protect Greece from the Soviets and their allies.

* Khrushchev’s War, Day 2 – Head ‘Em off at the Sunda Strait, 1957: It is the second day of the war. Shocking news has arrived from Europe. The Soviet Union has launched massive attacks against European air bases and other military targets. There are reports that the American carrier Forrestal and the British carrier Bulwark have both been sunk.
You are in command of a British naval squadron in the Far East. Some elements of the Soviet navy have been operating in your area of responsibility. It will be your task to destroy these ships and submarines.

* Khrushchev’s War, Day 4 – Birmingham Goes Hunting, 1957: It is the fourth day of the war. Intelligence suggests the Soviets have sortied additional submarines and surface groups to threaten shipping in the Atlantic. You have been placed in charge of one of the task forces assigned to deal with this threat.

* Khrushchev’s War, Day 30 – South Dakota Says Goodbye, 1957: It is the end of the first month of the War of 1957. NATO has received reliable intelligence that a large surface group has left Soviet waters. It appears to be designed to attack NATO shipping trying to cross the Atlantic.
Most NATO ships are already engaged in other theaters of the war. No carriers and few submarines are available to intercept the battle group.
You are in command of a battle group of available vessels assembled to intercept and destroy the Soviet battle group. It is a curious collection of ships for the late 1950s, being centered on two World War II-era battleships, South Dakota and California. Both vessels had been reactivated shortly before hostilities erupted in Europe with the idea of using them as test platforms for new technologies. However, once the Soviet attacks started, these plans were put on hold.

* Korean Campaign (Operation Dragon Fire), 2018: It is the Spring of 2018, and it appears that Kim Jong-un is finally going to make good on his constant threats to launch an attack into South Korea.

* Operation Ardent Shield, 2030: The world’s worst fear just materialised. Open conflict has erupted between the world’s two superpowers over the South China Sea.
Singapore, as a neutral country but finding many of its fundamental interests in line with upholding the principles of UNCLOS and with keeping the US presence strong in the Pacific, has decided that it will allow US military assets to continue to refuel and resupply in the country, and for limited US military operations to be conducted from the country so long as no direct strikes on Chinese mainland territories are staged from Singapore.

* Operation Sallyport, 2029: In mid-2029, China commenced an intervention under the pretense of restoring order in Papua New Guinea. For Australia and its allies, the stakes were high, as the stability of the South Pacific, regional security, and the influence of Western alliances in the Indo-Pacific hung in the balance. The ensuing operation would determine the future of Papua New Guinea and reshape the power dynamics of the region.

* Ouadi Doum, 1986: In response to Libyan aggression in Chad, President Mitterrand has deployed French forces to Africa.
France is determined to prevent Libya from destabilizing its former colonies, and is concerned about the ability of al-Gaddafi’s government to stage long-range bomber attacks out of the Ouadi Doum airfield.

* Sapphire, 1977: On June 27, 1977, the former French colony of Afars and Issas gained its independence as the country of Djibouti. At first, the FLCS (Front for the Liberation of the Somali Coast), a guerrilla organization fighting against French colonial rule, celebrated this victory and was partially absorbed into the new country’s government.
But days after the declaration of independence, a splinter group formed calling for the integration of Djibouti into ‘Greater Somalia’. After gathering support, the group launched their insurgency against the Djibouti government and French forces stationed in the country.
Somali leader Siad Barre had primarily been focused on absorbing the Ogaden region controlled by Ethiopia, but started shifting his focus to the newly independent nation.
Somali forces that had been thought to have been preparing for an invasion of Ethiopia quickly deployed to the border with Djibouti. The French have started sending a large number of reinforcements to Djibouti, but due to the limited infrastructure and short time frame, this has been difficult.
The first units from metropolitan France arrived a short time ago, joining a number of units airlifted in from French territories in the Indian Ocean. French intelligence has assessed that there is a high likelihood that Somalia will launch an invasion in the coming days or hours, before most of the reinforcements can be brought in.

* Soviet Endgame – Seize Giebelstadt3, 1981: At the opening of the Third World War, the Soviet Union launched a continent-wide effort to sweep into NATO countries in a war of conquest.
This scenario focuses on one small aspect of the overall war. As a part of the effort to secure central Germany, the Soviet airborne forces, the VDV are tasked with taking the NATO airfield at Giebelstadt, just south of Würzburg.

In the shadow of the Beast update: Community Scenario Pack #48 now available

September 16, 2023 · Posted in Command, Community Scenario Pack · Comment

Following the groundbreaking release of the v1.06 update, bringing 64-bit finally to the mainstream version, it is now appropriate for a new release of the Community Scenario Pack (CSP).

Brandon Johnson (Kushan) has updated the pack to version #48, with 12 brand-new scenario and 9 updates to existing works. Additionally, the default WRA firing ranges for AAW weapons have been set to “50% of max range”, and all scenarios have been rebuilt to the v501 releases of the DB3000 and CWDB databases.

Let’s take a look at new additions:

Action in the Bay of Vlore, 1969: After 1960, Albania broke ties with the Soviet Union and allied with China. In 1968, Albania again snubbed the Soviet Union by withdrawing from the Warsaw Pact in protest over the invasion of Czechoslovakia. The Soviet Union has decided to make a show of force by sailing ships into the Bay of Vlore and threatening to blockade ships attempting to enter or leave the Port of Vlore.

Dutch-Venezuelan Fishing Incident, 2025: Venezuelan fishing boats are violating Dutch fisheries. The Netherlands sends ships to address the issue. They have permission to fire on fishing boats that do not comply with their orders to stop and be boarded for inspection. Venezuela is unlikely to take kindly to this…

Jeannes Last Jaunt, 2009: It’s 2009 and a coup in Guinea has France trying to get their people out of an increasingly unstable situation. They’ve sent the aging helicopter cruiser Jeanne d’Arc and some supporting forces to get the job done. It shouldn’t be too difficult, right?

Kicking Down the Door, 2019: In August 2017, Donald Trump hinted at possible military action against Venezuela due to its crumbling democratic institutions. By December 2018, Russia’s Ambassador in Caracas claimed foreign powers were plotting to topple the Venezuelan government. The situation escalated in January 2019 when Juan Guaido, an opposition lawmaker, declared himself the “interim president” of Venezuela, contrary to the country’s constitution. While the U.S. and several nations supported Guaido, Maduro, the standing president, labeled this as a U.S. coup attempt. Countries like Russia, China, and Cuba stood by Maduro. Tensions further intensified when Venezuelan military forces loyal to Maduro blocked foreign aid on 23 February 2019. In response to this and Guaido’s appeal for international help, the U.S. took action on 24 February 2019.

Mediterranean Fury 7 – Under Pressure, 1994: You command the USS Nimitz CVBG, along with the newly arrived HMS Ark Royal. The two carriers have worked together in the Indian Ocean and will now move through the Med and into the Atlantic as a team. You have three major tasks: Neutralize the Black Sea Fleet; establish air superiority over Thrace and the Turkish Straits area, and significantly degrade the Bulgarian air force. USS Iowa and Kearsarge have a secondary task to complete. But you are under pressure to get it done quickly, with limited resources and with severe logistic constraints.

Operation Brass Drum – Second of Desert Storm, 1993: In the wake of a civil war that erupted in Tajikistan, Iran began supporting the Tajikistan opposition. However, their alleged involvement in a plane bombing that killed 176 people, half of whom were U.S. citizens, strained international relations. Despite Iran’s denial of involvement, a betrayed spy provided evidence against them. As a result, the Security Council displayed distrust towards Iran. In response, the Iranian President imposed a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz. Given the recent surge in terrorist activities and U.S. political involvement in the Persian Gulf, this act intensified tensions. The U.S. President responded by ensuring freedom of navigation through the strait and utilizing existing U.S. military presence in the region. Meanwhile, Iraq seemed to align with Iran’s stance, frequently violating restrictions set after the Gulf War. It appears the Middle East may be on the brink of another Desert Storm.

Operation Ghost Rider, 1985: A long-range strike from the UK on a simulated airfield 100 miles southwest of Goose Bay, Labrador by 10 F-111Es from the 20th Tactical Fighter Wing on October 18, 1985. This exercise was one of the proof-of-concept operations for Operation El Dorado Canyon, the April 1986 strike on Libya.

Operation Gray Advantage, 2023: The current Standing NATO Maritime Group 1 is sent to track a Russian task force making its way to the Denmark Strait. Right now, there are only three ships in the flotilla, so I’m assuming other assets get attached. Things are very tense as the scenario starts–it assumes the destruction of a US drone last month was followed by the shoot-down of a Russian Su-27 over Romania. Russia has sortied a task force and it is probably on its way to the Mediterranean. Russia also has something to prove with this mission. As you will see, things escalate…

Penetrating The Blockade, 2027: China has declared a de facto blockade of Taiwan. A week earlier, the 3rd MLR successfully interdicted some PLAN forces heading to waters off east Taiwan, however it is expected that a good number of PLAN navy sub surface assets leaked through, while other PLAN assets had already moved past the 1st Island Chain before the blockade was announced. The PLAN Shandong CSG is presumed to be somewhere in the Western Pacific. It is expected to be tasked with disrupting allied forces resupply efforts to Taiwan and Allied forces.

The 2023 North Korean Nuclear Attacks Part 1, 2023: Short scenario, all you really need to do is sit back and watch. You can probably play it in real time if you’re interested in observing a ballistic missile attack. (The story is based on The 2020 Commission Report on the North Korean Nuclear Attacks Against the United States by Dr. Jeffrey Lewis, but updated to reflect 2023 politics)

The Old vs the New – The Madagascar Crisis, 2025: Following Madagascar’s tumultuous 2023 elections, the nation intensified its ties with China, culminating in numerous treaties in 2024 that bolstered economic and political relations. Concurrently, Madagascar escalated its territorial dispute with France over Indian Ocean islands. However, the new government faced internal dissent, further exacerbated by its inadequate response to cyclones in 2024, leading to widespread protests and a violent crackdown. In 2025, an attempted coup instigated clashes between loyalist and opposition forces. Amid this chaos, France and China bolstered their military presence, with confrontations between the two powers in the Indian Ocean escalating. The conflict saw alleged war crimes and the killing of French NGO workers by Madagascar’s air force. Consequently, France has opted for airstrikes against the Malagasy loyalists, aiming to bolster the opposition and reassert its waning influence in former colonies.

Tighten the Straitjacket, 2027: Scenario is focused on the 3rd MLR located on the Philippines, facing the Straits of Luzon. The scenario assumes China just announcing a blockade on Taiwan, with a PLAN SAG heading to Taiwan’s east coast to carry out a blockade of Hualien port. Your mission is to degrade/destroy the SAG.

In the wake of War Planner: Community Scenario Pack #47 now available

January 27, 2023 · Posted in Command, Community Scenario Pack · Comment

Following the triumphant release of the “War Planner”, Command’s biggest-ever update until now, it is now the turn of the acclaimed Community Scenario Pack (CSP) to benefit from the new features.
Brandon Johnson (Kushan) has updated the pack to version #47, with updates & refreshes to all existing scenarios. The default WRA firing ranges for AAW weapons have been set to “No Escape Zone”, to adjust them to the improved AAW missile kinematics and aircraft evasion logics .
In addition, 7 brand-new scenarios have been added. Let’s take a look:

Final Count Down, 1941: You and your fleet come to the unknown space and time. You noticed that the time has change – it seems like you teleported to the WWII era. All reports indicate you are now in the vicinity of Pearl Harbor, on the eve of December 7th. Can you stop the Japanese surprise attack?

Indian Fury 8 – Red Sea Rumble, 1994: You’re commanding a major convoy which originated in the Persian Gulf, transited the newly re-opened Straits of Hormuz and must now pass the Bab el Mandeb (BeM), the narrow gateway between the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden on its way to bring vital oil and supplies through the Mediterranean to France.

Iran Strike, 2025: In January 2025 Iran’s leader overturned the fatwa against the acquisition, development, and use of nuclear weapons. In May 2025, indications began to surface of nuclear detonation in remote part of the country. This was followed shortly after by confirmation by the Iranian government that they had detonated their first nuclear device. This test was condemned by the United States, Europe, Israel, and several middle eastern countries and across the middle east contingency plans for such an event were about to be put into action.

Mediterranean Fury 6 – Hammer to Fall, 1994: You command the USS Nimitz CVBG, newly arrived in the Med from the 5th Fleet Area of Operations (AO) in the Indian Ocean. Now tasked to 6th Fleet, the replenished Nimitz group as well as supporting naval forces and significant air forces will commence attacks to compel Syria to either sue for as separate peace or be reduced in their ability to conduct offensive operations.

Nuclear Shadow of East Asia – Sino-Soviet Conflict, 1986: Sino-Soviet conflict set in 1986.

Team Chicago Gets Busy, 1974: This scenario assumes that tensions in Europe erupted into open conflict between NATO and the Soviet Union in 1974. At present, it is the early hours of the Third World War. American forces in the Pacific have been tasked with eliminating any Soviet ships or submarines in the area that could threaten American, allied, or merchant shipping.

Team Chicago and Vietnam Get Busy, 1974: This is an alternate version of the above scenario with the addition of some South Vietnamese units.

Community Scenario Pack #46: 18 new, 8 updated, 568 total!

August 29, 2022 · Posted in Command, Community Scenario Pack · Comment

Following the release of the Showcase: Queen Elizabeth DLC, the Community Scenario Pack (CSP) is due for another refresh. Brandon Johnson (Kushan) has updated the pack to version #46, with updates & refreshes to 8 existing scenarios, as well as 18 brand-new creations. Let’s take a look:

Arctic Tsunami, 2019: Hypothetical engagement between NATO and Russia in the Nord Kapp, Norway and Norwegian Sea area. NATO is slightly out of position with Russia having the advantage of concentration of force.

Baltic Fury 4 – Ride of the Valkyries, 1994: You are the commander the Soviet 15th Air Army. Your formation has deployed forward into advanced bases in Poland and has been resting for the past four days. With reinforcements you are tasked to conduct offensive strikes into Denmark in order to gain air and sea superiority over Jutland.

Baltic Fury 5 – Ivan’s March Across the Belts, 1994: This is the fifth and last scenario of the Baltic Fury campaign, and critical to the Northern Fury operations. You are the commander the Soviet 38^th Guards Airborne Corps. Your light brigades and the Polish forces are to secure a corridor to Jutland. In a move similar to King Charles Gustav’s March across the Belts in 1658, you will rapidly seize a series of key points across the Great and Little Belts of the Danish Archipelago, allowing your two Airborne Divisions to concentrate on seizing the neck of Jutland while ensuring safe passage of your MRD to offloading ports on the mainland. Your deputy handed you a pirated copy of the film A Bridge Too Far as he departed your HQ for the final time. His protests had apparently attracted too much attention from the Zampolit.

Bear Island, 2022: BeirutDude’s final scenario for CMO. Your mission is simple, using your amphibious forces, take back Bear Island. Everything else is there to support that goal.

France Goes to Conakry, 1984: This scenario assumes that, shortly before the 1984 coup that took place in Guinea, both France and the Soviet Union moved forces into the area. Soviet intentions are unclear, but France is determined to protect the interests of its former colony.

Giving Some Hell to Harry, 2022: NATO responded with significant support to the Ukraine after massive Russian forces struck into the Donbass region. In response Putin launched attacks into the Baltic States and NATO honored its Article Five responsibilities. Carrier Strike Group Eight is in the Central Gulf of Mexico and was ordered to move west to neutralize the Russian bases and Integrated Air Defense System (IADS) in Syria. All that sits between them, and the eastern Med is the brand-new Russian Project 885M Yasen-M Class nuclear submarine Kazan (K-561).

Indian Fury 6 – Into the Breach, 1994: You’re commanding CTF 154 centered on the USS Saratoga CVBG and other forces in the Persian Gulf region. Your primary task is to transit the Straits of Hormuz in an effort to impress Saudi Arabia to commit to the conflict on our side. However, a critical secondary task is to ensure the safety of a major oil convoy heading to Europe, and of course tie down Soviet and Soviet aligned forces (primarily Iran) so they cannot interfere in other theatres. Finally, you must do all of this, while preventing the spread of the war and remaining disengaged from the parallel India/Pakistan conflict that is now raging.

Indian Fury 7 – Deep Strike, 1994: You are commanding the 366th Expeditionary Fighter Wing which is a unique organization in the USAF. You flew into Cairo about ten days ago and have been conducting missions in the Eastern Mediterranean and Red Sea areas since then. Tonight, is something different. This morning you had a phone call from the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs at the Pentagon, not something you expected. Apparently, the Soviets have been helping the Iranians with their nuclear program and the Israelis are more than a little uptight. Since Washington wants to keep Israel from acting independently and causing all sorts of problems with our Arab allies, we have been given a new tasking.

Iran Strike, 2022: In May 2022 Iran announced it would not sign any international agreement that limits its nuclear program and that it would begin developing nuclear weapons. Across the middle east contingency plans for such an event were about to be put into action. This scenario is designed as a sandbox to see what an Israeli, US, or combined strike on Iran might look like

NFZ Baltic; NFZ Med; NFZ Nordkapp; NFZ Pacific, 2022: Four-part scenario series where the NAC (North Atlantic Council), or political arm of NATO is debating the implementation of a No-fly Zone (NFZ) over Ukraine. Despite advice from military leaders that this will likely initiate a world war, several impassioned pleas by the Ukrainian President and the support of some NATO leaders may sway the vote.

Sudan Strike, 2025: In 2022 after a change in leadership caused by the 2021 coup and its aftershocks, and after a long series of negotiations, Sudan and Russia finally signed an agreement for the establishment of a Russian naval base at Port Sudan on the Red Sea coast. In May 2025 a small incident on the Korean peninsula has spiraled out of control into a global conflict. It was decided to give the Sudanese government an ultimatum to expel all Russian personnel. The Sudanese government has chosen to not accept any of the terms of the ultimatum. It has been decided to use military force to destroy the Russian base and any Sudanese forces that interfere.

Taiwan Straits, 2022: The PLAAF and PLA(N)AF are ordered to initiate the largest test of the Taiwan Area ADIZ to date. Hundreds of aircraft will be launched to test the Taiwanese resolve, including PLA(N)AF H-6G’s circumnavigating the Island from both the north and south.

The Battle of Al Khor, 1995: In 1995, there was a bloodless coup in Qatar. This scenario assumes that the military in Qatar was divided in its loyalties and the two factions fought for supremacy in the air and on the sea. Saudi Arabia is offering assistance to the faction loyal to the government at the time of the coup.

The Convoy, Ukraine, 2022: What if NATO actually put together a rapidly developed operation only using NATO airbases and aircraft in the Ukraine?

Vlakke Hoek, 1962: The battle of Vlakke Hoek was a naval engagement that took place on January 15th, 1962 during the West New Guinea (or West Irian) crisis between the Netherlands and Indonesia.
