New versions of the random generators (and a new generator, randomly creates Soviet "aid packages" for Third World nations). Various bugs fixed...I hope. :) New versions posted 21:30 EST Oct. 3 2014. Enjoy!

If it isn't already in the game, maybe a Greece vs Turkey over Cyprus.

Or a modern Israel against a modern Arab Attack, though you might want a deeper ground campaign, but you could try to overwhelm the Israeli Air force and it could be interesting as many of the local Arab nations have F-16's and some F-15's as well, mixed in with some Russian, it could be a interesting battle.

Even if it is, some situations lend themselves to a large number of possible scenarios...

For example, say Greece has landed forces to help Cyprus finally get rid of Northern Cyprus; they will also use bombing raids, naval blockades, etc.; Turkey, not surprisingly, disapproves and plans to stop the Greeks...

Okay, if the attempt took place in 1985 (two years after Northern Cyprus declared its independence), the units would be very different than if the attempt took place in 1996 or 2003. And what if one of Greece's allies, a former Soviet republic like Bulgaria, decided to assist in a 1992 operation? And so on.

Ran the generator.

"Canada vs. regional warlords, 1987"-Hockey fan brawls?

"Israeli war with Lebanon (1982-1985) escalates into a proxy war--main factions backed by regional or global powers"-Kinda already was?

"International coalition vs. Micronesia, 2020"<-Now that's a naval power so big it needs an international coalition to stop!

All quite uh-interesting, I think. [;)]

Greatop....... I like this thread.... I've been thinking about this subject..... I should learn to design some scenarios myself… But here are some things I've been thinking about but I would like to see…

^ Scenarios that are not designed just for gaming quality… But that are also possible or plausible in the real world or future world..... So the game is actually becoming an educational tool…
^ that scenario briefings would be structured and use similar protocols to real military theater/operation/Mission briefings....
^ that there is plausible Intel on opfor .... ..
^ that on opfor assets and order a battle are or somewhat realistic to the theater in the given time period.....
^ some scenarios can't be in balanced… Because that's life… And it would be more about management of prosecution of the mission…
^ that if the scenario mission is one that is planned… That they start with plausible assets OOB with some plausible loadouts...... And disposition…...

I think there are currently great opportunity of defining scenarios emphasizing European and NATO allies with what is currently going on in the region of the Black Sea and Eastern Mediterranean… One country that needs more attention… Without doubt is Turkey... They are a critically important ally… whatever happens in East Med and Black Sea regionis is vital to their interests… And they have a large arm force and population to support it…

There are also a lot of opportunities for scenarios and West Pacific Indian Ocean…

I also like the scenario notion of scenario designs of large theater operations being broke down into subcomponent scenarios.....

I'm really glad you asked us to respond for input to your interests in scenario design… Good luck… I'll be looking for your stuff…

If you want something in Europe, perhaps something based on the incident at Pristina airport and what if things went the wrong way with it?

Oh, yes, you are definitely going to get some results that make you go, "Huh?" The generators are designed to give you a lot of ideas really fast, so you can scrap a bunch of them and still have plenty left over. Or just hit the "go" button again. :)

In fairness to the three ideas above, however...

Canada vs. warlords, 1987: After the kidnapping and murder of four Canadian students in a small West African nation, Canada sends a task force centered on a Protecteur-class AOR carrying 3 CH-47F helicopters and three platoons of Canadian commandos. While the three destroyers escorting the AOR bombard the coastal towns that are home to the warlord responsible for these atrocities and guard against the armed speedboats (which is the closest thing the warlord has to a navy), the commandos will seek him out and dispatch him!

Israel-Lebanon turns into a proxy war...well, it could be a bigger proxy war. Maybe the Soviets will get directly involved--no invasion of Israel, that would trigger a response from the US, but maybe the Israelis will get a bit of a surprise in the form of a Soviet squadron flying alongside their Syrian allies.

International coalition vs. Micronesia, 2020...maybe it's a really small international coalition, like one frigate from New Zealand and some Australian and Malaysian OPVs. Technically, you know, if you had two patrol boats, one from Tonga and one from New Guinea, that would still count as an international coalition. :)
