New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
OK, here is the next in the Mediterranean series:
Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
16 Feb 1994, 1300 Zulu, 1400 Local
Three days into World War Three and you as Commander 5th Allied Tactical Air Force (ATAF) are now focusing your efforts on the Adriatic and Balkan situation. Commander 6th Fleet as Commander NATO Strike Force Southern Europe (STRIKFORSOUTH) has been given the task of cleansing the Mediterranean Sea of Soviet threats and neutralizing Libya and Syria. Commander Allied Land Forces South-Eastern Europe (LANDSOUTHEAST) is working the situation in the Bosporus and Aegean Sea. All three of these commands have been allocated land, sea and air forces and have effectively become regional Joint Commands, at least until the situation stabilizes.
The situation in the Balkans is complex; Slovenia is working hard at becoming a NATO member but has no military force to speak off, Croatia and Bosnia are being stabilized by UNPROFOR (United Nations Protection Force), Serbia is being actively recruited by the Soviets but the provinces of Macedonia and Kosovo are on the verge of open revolt despite Belgrade’s oppression, and Albania is striving to be neutral but is riddled with organized crime. UNPROFOR is a large force but dispersed across the two countries and set up for stabilization, not warfighting, also several of the 40-odd countries making up its force of over 30,000 troops want no part in this war – and many others want their troops back. NATO’s Operation Deny Flight and Sharp Guard, the air and sea blockade of the Balkans, are still in place but their responsibilities and resources have fallen under your control.
For the past 72 hours your Area of Operation (AO) has been quiet – disturbingly quiet! The WP has not violated UNPROFOR airspace while the tempest of war goes on to the north, south and east, apparently content to hold down NATO forces while conserving their own. NATO on the other hand, not anxious to engage on another front at a disadvantage has been content to hold back and wait, it's pulled back its Operation DENY FLIGHT forces to hold over the Adriatic in a desire not to provoke a reaction, while naval forces maintain anti-smuggling patrols. A phony war akin to the winter of 1939/1940 in France has developed. Although this may sound like a good thing – you’ve watched as forces flowed through and around your command without any real reinforcement being assigned to you – from your perspective that is not good. There are some indications that the Soviets don’t trust their fraternal brothers in Romania and Hungary to do any heavy lifting.
That situation however is about to change. Just over 20 hours ago the small container ship MV Hansa Carrier enroute to Split experienced an explosion reported as a possible mine incident in Splitska Vrata Channel. She was carrying sundry goods for Croatian consumption but also many containers specifically to supply UNPROFOR forces. SHAPE (Supreme HQ Allied Powers Europe) has directed Naples (AFSOUTH – Allied Forces Southern Europe) to conduct strikes into Hungary primarily to distract WP efforts in Germany; but also to exert pressure to deter WP operations supporting Syria and the Bosporus area, and finally to cover SNMCMG2’s (Standing NATO Mine Countermeasures Group 2) operation to rescue the Hansa Carrier.
You’re going to have a busy evening!
As always I look forward to your comments and critiques.

RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
Woohoo! I know what I'm doing with my free time for the next week or so. Welcome back!
RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
spelling - about 2/3 down side briefing: Comd NTFA: Good day Geneal <<
There are lots of NATO land based radars and they all look like they are off - is this on purpose? seems like they should all be on.
Looks interesting, nice work.

RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
The radar sites of the AMI are a little too modern.
Here is the list of the sites with the installed equipment in 1994.
Before the location in brackets is the callsign.
(Cedrone) Monte Scinauz - AN/FPS-88
(Lame) Concordia Saggitaria - Selenia Argos-10 + AN/FPS-89 Actually the radar was in Portogruaro just a few km from Concordia Saggitaria
(Puma) Mortara - AN/FPS-88 + AN/FPS-89 + S-269
(Pioppo) Poggio Renatico - AN/FPS-117
(Bracco) Potenza Picena - Selenia Argos 10 + AN/FPS-89 + S-269
(Quercia) Poggio Ballone - AN/FPS-117
(Fionda) San Giovanni Teatino - AN/FPS-88 + AN/FPS-89
Borgo Piave - technical/administrative unit, no radar
(Fungo) Jacotenente - Selenia Argos 10 + 2 x S-269
(Barca) Licola - Selenia Argos 10 + S-269
(Volpe) Otranto - HR-3000
(Medusa) Crotone - HR-3000
(Trota) Capo Mele - AN/FPS-8 + AN/FPS-89
There is no Italian DB entry for AN/FPS-88, AN/FPS-89 and S-269 but there are of other nationality.
Alas the Argos 10 seems not to be in the DB.
I have searched the net for info but found almost none, probably was similar to ARGOS 5000 mounted on italian cruiser Garibaldi, the old one of WWII era; btw in CMANO the Garibaldi has no such radar.

RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
Loaded up the scen and noticed some of the Yugoslav AD and EW sites were lacking. If you want, I can PM you an import I made of additional sites.
Also, you may want to consider adding some Styx SSM sites in Montenegro and maybe a few G-4, J-22, KA-25, and MI-14 Golubovci to spice things up for the player. The Serbian ships don’t seem to have a sense of direction when embarking on their ship surge mission, so some helis could definitely help.

RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
NATO CAPs are set to intercept outside of patrol zone, this led to some Hornets running all by themselves after WP AWACS in Hungary.
RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
Also noticed that aircraft damage was not enable in scenario options. Is this intentional?
RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
Thanks Andrea
I'll fix up the names - I made a couple modifications to history as detailed here http://northernfury.us/nato/it/air/
Not sure if that affects your corrections - or perhaps I have it wrong on the webpage as well.

Primarchx
Not sure how that happened, they worked fine on my test. Will fix.
Aircraft damage will be on one of the later releases. I'll release a CoW and a non-CoW version when finished.
I also wanted to use cargo but opted not too but adding units works fine.

i had this problem.... updating to the latest version fixed it....
RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
The serb ships shoot their styx at really rough contacts - no where near in range in reality, but if I switch to their side there is a rough contact within range, it is just ambiguous and not very close to where the ship actually is.
Maybe tighten up the WRA range? or give them some better awareness/recon somehow?
At the beginning I chose to give up the carrier via special action, at the 5 minute mark I still got a message about it - seems like that message should have been deactivated when I did the special action.
There was no mention of enemy sub threats but I have quite a few ASW assets so I am doing some ASW work but not too much. Would be nice to have some info on the threat.

RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
I want to represent the Serbs as a somewhat ill trained/inexperienced navy - and I think more importantly give them a chance to shoot. If I tighten the WRA up to ambiguity setting they never get a chance to shoot before they are feeding the fish. Tightening up their ranges may be a good option.
Will fix the other two for certain.
Thanks

Oh and there is a sub threat. You should be getting a message shortly which indicates that - about mine delivery. But I'll put it in the brief as well.

RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
I am excited to play this scenario - when I get back from my vacation which I will be spending in Split [:D]
RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
Finally got the time to start it!
Until now nothing to report, the things are still brewing up.

RE: New Scenario for testing - Mediterranean Fury 5, Serbia-right!
mine assessment spelling: `The most likely is a combination on delivery ..` of not on. The event is called Min assessment.
Clear sky's with very light rain? is that correct? I wonder what that actually does?
I don't think these should be showing in the logs, but I appreciate the heads up!
Event: 'CAPs' has been fired.
Event: 'Serb Stikes' has been fired. << also mis spelled
There was another event that shouldn't have shown in the logs but I was a little distracted by some stuff.
I just lost the tug - what was I supposed to do with it? I was getting close to the damaged ship but lost track of it. There are also some locked ref points that say SOF on one of them - is there going to be something that tells me about them?
It was such a serene nice day, I was looking forward to catching some smugglers. Now I think I probably spend some time learning my new language, Russian seems simple enough.
Ok, I went back 100secs and wills save the tug. I'd like to start over but that would not be fair. I lost a lot of stuff, but killed a lot of AC as well - at least 2x what I lost. Course that is not real good. Lots I would do different but such is life.
I don't see any scoring for NATO - as far as killing enemy stuff.
