Indonesian War - 3 - Spartan Goes Hunting, 1995 -- new beta for testing

[Mgellis]

This is the third scenario in the Indonesian War, 1995 series. Indonesia has taken heavy losses, but has refused to come to the negotiation table. The Commonwealth nations involved in the war have decided to engage in some commerce raiding to create some economic pressure...and the Spartan just happens to be already on station in the area...

I suspect most people will find this a fairly easy scenario. Indonesia, in the 1990s, had only limited ASW capabilities, and Spartan is simply too good to get caught very easily. However, as always, I'm interested in any observations, suggestions, etc. that people may have. And, of course, if you spot any errors, even things like words spelled wrong in the messages, etc., please let me know. Thanks, and enjoy!

I managed a 500 point triumph. The scenario was very easy given that Spartan totally outclasses the Indonesian forces and has excellent sensors (it was interesting to see just how deadly a SSN is when facing a weak opponent). I didn't spot any bugs.

Triumph 600, and I still had 3 torpedoes to spare, at about 16 hours to go. Kind of fun driving the sub around at flank/shallow. Continued to play and eventually found and sank the remaining FFG. Tigerfish with 35kts max speed is too slow for easy use btw. So on the first contact I had, I sank a sub of the "FFG+sub" combo (which were happily chasing the whale back then). Afterwards, I returned and sank the FFG.

All in all, quite good, and no apparent problems.

Hi:

I had a minor victory, maybe because I was over cautious.
One curious thing (maybe a bug.) I´ve had a reasonable passive fix for an Harpoon BOL shot on one of the frigates.
The missile impacted on the Cakra SS, it seems he was on the surface on the missile path and he was unlucky to catch the bullet.
I don´t believe the SS should be patrolling surfaced, don´t you?

Saludos

Any more comments or suggestions for this one? Or is it ready for the Community Scenario Pack? Thanks.

I think that it's good to go
