Removed the visibility of the Blinder Base and changed scoring penalty for aircraft and ship loss. Others have been able to complete this scenario, so I won't be changing the difficulty. One tip is to not surge all your fighters at once and to adjust the doctrine so that fighters don't RTB after one engagement. You know the soviets have more than just a handful of Mig-23s and -29s, so make sure to keep fighters in reserve, even if that means you give them temporary air superiority.

Tried this one out and a couple of points need looking at I reckon. The one base is visible and is named Blinder base, so that needs hiding I think.
Scoring is off in as much as my forces were completely massacred, however ship losses score as a positive.

This is pretty one sided overall and I don't know if others win as US/ Japan? The other side clearly know where your forces are, after an initial dogfight which worked well, the primarily Backfire strike is well timed, my fighters were out of action, but there isn't much air defence from cruisers and the like. As a result we were rapidly overwhelmed and both the carriers were sunk or heavily damaged.

Great scenario, thanks!

Red phoenix is an awesome book, larry bond is great cant wait to try this scenario

Thanks! You have no idea how happy that makes me feel, knowing that something I made can provide so much entertainment.

I've read the book too It's one of my favorites. I spent 6 rl hours in this senario yesterday. I think it's the most fun I've had to date in this game, well done sir. There's a lot of surprises I won't give away. I love it forces you to pay close attention to all aspects of a naval engagement. ASuW, ASW, early warning, ECM, and management of land based assets. If you don't I promise this will bite you. :D

So you're the other person who read Red Phoenx.

intresting concept
