New Scenario Beta Testing: Sandbox #1 Surface Duel

Post by MichaelJCuozzo »

This scenario is based on the scenario "Surface Encounter" from the boardgame Harpoon: Captain's Edition.



In this scenario, an Arleigh Burke-class destroyer is escorting a Whidbey Island class LSD in the Norwegian Sea and it happens to detect a Soviet Sovremenny-class destroyer with an Ivan Rogov-class landing ship. A skirmish ensues with both sides trying to sink the other's escorted ships. The Soviets win a victory if they sink the LSD while the US wins if it can sink the Rogov.


I could use some help with scoring. Believe it or not, I still don't quite know how to do it. Other than that, please let me know about any improvements, glitches, etc.

It would be nice if the scenario concludes once both enemy ships are killed.

Also, I don't see why Russian side can't be played?

as far as shooting went, I killed them both but in the end I was totally out of missiles, both Harpoons and SAMs.

Yeah, I have to put the scoring, events, etc in so the scenario ends at the right time...when one side's phib is sunk.

Good point, there's no reason why you can't play either side. It's a fairly balanced scenario.

I usually wind up expending all of my missiles too and have to close to finish off the other side.

Thanks for taking the time to try it out and post. Much appreciated! :)

[font="Tahoma"]I had no chance... My Burke had way too many TLAMs in VLSs of no use and too little SMs. Russians had twice as much fire power in missiles as Rogov also had big arsenal of Geckos. Quite challenging but... not fair to Burke... I rather have Burke more balanced between TLAMs and SMs[/font]

Yeah, the armament is a bit whacky, I know. I'm going to fix that today and resubmit the upgraded scenario a bit later
