I'm just waiting to have a couple of missing platforms in DB3000 I need for the scenario.

I'm trying to put together a Falklands War scenario, something like the first week of April 1982, when the Argentine navy was looking to engage, and the British were looking to achieve naval superiority while waiting for their assault ships to arrive. The Argentines have 3 task forces, a submarine and about ~150 land based air but mostly on the mainland and far away. (Though there are a few on the Falklands).
I'm actually not entirely sure what the British had in the area at this point in time; certainly Hermes and Invincible but not sure what else. I might have to guess/infer.
There is exactly an scenario depicting this situation I wrote, 'Malvinas 1982, The Pincer' ready for download from Warfaresims Command download section, it is playable from both sides, and it starts just before the Belgrano was sunk, the argentines had 3 task forces approaching the area and a submarine north of the isles waiting for the British carrier force, while the inland bases were crowded with airplanes.

RE: What are you working on?
Still just experimenting, but I wanted to do something along the lines of the old NACV "Ambush" scenario.
I just loved having all those Backfires to play with, especially the "speculative" interceptor/long-range escort with the R-33's.
Ah...1989 on my Amiga, waiting like a minute for the screen to update. My, how things have improved

That's pretty cool. I played it, was neat. I shall still work on mine though.
Not for the faint of heart to organise. [&o] [:D]

Preliminary work for my Baltic scenario is coming along nicely.
I'm currently building up the NATO airfields using custom layers.

A San Carlos Water scenario would be fun

RE: What are you working on?
I'm doing some research to create the Dance of the Vampires from Red Storm Rising. Am a bit stumped as to how to get the AI to fire air launched decoys though. No idea yet. Anyone? Plus there seem to only be AS-2 decoys, no AS-5 Kelt ones. Was that an error in the book or?

Yeah. I agree. I'll see if I can put one of those together too.
I'm actually got sidetracked by doing an Operation Paraquet scenario on South Georgia, which is appealing as it's very quick and simple. [:)] Might have that done this evening if time permits.
RE: What are you working on?
Working on a Classic Cold War scenario off the North Cape of Norway. Its 1994, the Cold War has continued and the Russians surge:
-to gain air superiority
-conduct some air assaults to seize some Norwegian airports
-move an assault force down the coast.
-sweep the coast clean with missile boats - I find the 'first contact' scenarios a bit stale without air support so this should be a bit more interesting.
Scenario will last about 8 hrs.
Lots of tinkering to do yet.

I did some research for my planned AFNORTH scenarios, too. You might find this analysis pretty interesting:

Excellent - thank you for sharing that. My info on the Norwegian and Soviet forces matches fairly closely but the table on likely NATO reinforcement is golden[&o]:
NATO AIR FORCES LIKELY TO BE COMMITTED TO NORTH NORWAY
Nation Squadrons/Type Number Role
North Norway
RNoAF 2 F-16 32 Fighter interceptor attack
USAF 3 F-16 72 Fighter bomber attack
USAF 1 F-15 24 All weather air defense
USAF 1 RF-4 24 Reconnaissance
AMF(US) 1 F-16 24 Fighter bomber attack
AMF(Neth) 1 F-16 16 Fighter bomber attack
AMF(UK) 1 Jaguar 16 Fighter bomber attack
AMF(Can) 1 F-18 16 Fighter bomber attack (all weather)
MAB 2 F-18 48 Fighter bomber attack (all weather)
MAB 2 AV-8B 40 Ground support
MAB 1 RF-4B 4 Reconnaissance
MAB 1 EA-6 4 Electronic warfare
MAB I KC-130 6 Tanker
Central Norway
RNoAF 1 F-16 16 Fighter interceptor attack
USAF 1 F-16 24 Fighter bomber attack
Also - I was not sure on the likelihood of Finnish or Swedish involvement and the document discusses that at length. Much to ponder. In the meantime those 2 Sqns of Nor F-16s have their work cut out for them [:D]

OldPascas-FYI, I'm also working on an image pack for US ships-about 1/2 way through now. I'm hoping to have it done in the next week. FYI, here's a good source of US ship photos that are copyright free:

RE: What are you working on?
Unfortunately I can't post images since I'm too new to the forum, but I've completed a Turbot War scenario where the Royal Canadian Navy has to stop Spanish fishing fleets from entering the EEZ and avoid Spanish patrol ships while ensuring not to hamper any Canadian flagged vessels.
As well I've created a scenario based off of the Saint Pierre and Miquelo Islands conflict between Canada and France, where tensions rise and failed enforcement of an exclusion zone resorts in shots being fired right of Canada's coast.
Very happy with the potential for lots of Canadian scenarios in this game.

Finished the UK, i have only the US-Aircraft so far.
Focussing on Russia now and waiting for your images
RE: What are you working on?
If you haven't done it yet, you might want to go to:
http://www.warfaresims.com/?page_id=1876
and download the photos there. I did most of the Soviet (non-Russia) stuff in there-some of it might be helpful for your Russia project. Also, I'm in the process of finishing up the PLAN, so that will also be largely completed by this weekend.
