... *I* think this is a laudable objective, but I am rather curious as to why you care about historical OB? None of the Fleet games actually HAVE an accurate...
This is slightly off-topic, but when I was searching online for an OB source, I came across a cool web page for the Falklands war. It's a British site, but the...
... I hear ya, I was searching for my harpoon box in the attic earlier this week! I honestly do not own white ensign, or the new Cold War set, but I was...
Brookes, I can undertsand that thinking, to make a playable scenaruio you need to depart from reality for balance. Having said that, one of the reasons for...
Have you tried to find an old "Military Balance" book ? They did not contain squadron names, but quantities of systems for each nation. I am interested in what...
Hi Arnaud, I've seen those advertised, usually at great expense. I may check the library when next able. The email wouldn't load with the table - too big. I...
Arnaud, the web sites you asked about: http://aeroweb.lucia.it/rap/RAP.html http://www.scramble.nl/ru.htm http://www.fas.org/man/dod-101/sys/ac/row/index.html ...
Gotta love our Harpoon brothers; when they deliver a fleet game scenario, it's going to be technically correct! I hope you guys aren't going through the effort...

... I own one, but for 1986-87. I also have Bernard's Prezelin's "Flottes de Combat" (very extensive) for 1992. This is the Cold War period I prefer...
Does anyone have Harpoon IV ? I am looking for someone who could scan the ASM (air-launched antiship missile) equipment tables. I have lost them. Arnaud Les...
Jakob Thanks for the excellent work on the pacific fleet/aviation xls. I'm working up a table of relevant USMC and USN land based air at the moment. Does...
I'm sure this question has been asked before. But I forget. If a hex under SSM attack (2nd Fleet) has a CAP over it from a Base 2 hexes away, does the target...
Rule 8.3 says "CAP marker" not just "CAP mission". That clearly means that the CAP mission must originate in the hex under attack to provide the bonus. ... ...
As mentioned, I have the Balance of Power Military Power book by St. Martin's Press. Did someone want me to check out something for their research? Please...
That's how I read it, too. I think the overlapping CAP concept gets used in 7th Fleet onwards, but I could be wrong. steve ... Message 3 From: "VulcanPhile"...
Yes, Bluej0 is bouncing. I have moderator rights, though I only pop in here about once a month at the moment. Is there something you needed done, Steve? ...
My OB research, with assistance from list members (particularly see Jakob's upload 1978 Soviet file) is moving along. OBs for the USSR, US, Japan and PRC are...
I have the same problem with the number of submarines in the Baltic (~75). This is the good reason for the special Baltic sea submarine rules in 3rd Fleet. It...
Whilst looking around for info on nuclear warheads on ASROC in the 70s, I found this rather interesting page - particularly the links at the end. Ian...
Jakob, that was an impression gained from looking at the strengths of the CO and PC units for South Korea, etc, it didn't sem that "full" value was given for...
I was doing some research on the weapons fits of the ex radar picket FRAM II Gearing DDs Chevalier and Everett F Larson, which became Chung Buk and Jeong Buk...
I've lookad at the CO and PC units in 7th fleet and I don't think that they are penalized. Of course, PC units don't have SSM boxes but I think that the SSM...
Here's a question that I think takes a sharp rules lawyer: This one just came up in our 5th_Fleet_NATO yahoo group PBeM: The question arises whether a...
Tracy, I always played it that the detection attempt was made even with an ASW of 1 (but not 0). Any ASW capability at all would allow you to have a chance to...
I don't recall if there are any in 5th Fleet, but the old Soviet Echo class submarines had to surface in order to fire their missiles. You wouldn't even need...
The best example I can find is from 3rd Fleet: Hessen WG/FF has 4 SM38 Exocet SSM and the SSM-value is 6 (2 boxes) which gives us a SSM-value of 3 for each...
