New HCE scenario - Battle of Latakia

Post by CV32 »

Battle of Latakia, by Brad Leyte
The Battle of Latakia was a small naval battle fought on 7 October 1973, during the Yom Kippur War. It was the first naval engagement to involve an exchange of anti-ship surface to surface missiles and in which electronic warfare played a principal role. The Syrians were equipped with Soviet supplied Project 183 Komar and Project 205 Osa class missile boats armed with the P-15 Termit (NATO SS-N-2 Styx), a weapon that had already stung Israel almost exactly six years earlier, with the loss of the destroyer INS Eilat on 20 October 1967. The Styx had twice the range of the Israeli Gabriel, and a much larger warhead. To meet the threat, the Israelis would need every once of guile, wit and and courage that they could muster.

This scenario is designed for the Middle East Battleset and the HCE Cold War (HCCW-110114 or later) database.
