Scarborough Shoaldown

Description
In the fall of 2022, Chinese naval forces swarmed Scarborough Shoal and Chinese Coast Guard Type 053 Frigates began 24/7 patrols. By May of 2023, the Chinese had undertaken dredging operations and were clearly intending to build an airbase on the new island. Despite international criticism, China carried out the act and had a fully functional airbase by August of 2024.

American forces immediately conducted a freedom of navigation exercise, coming within 12 nm of the shoal. Chinese forces aggressively turned the American ship away, and filed an international grievance for the so called "violation of sovreignty". American leadership dismissed the claim.
After a freedom of navigation exercise near Woody Island and the Paracel Islands resulted in a collision between the USS Winston S. Churchill and a Chinese destroyer, China stated that any further freedom of navigation exercises would be met with force.

The United States once again dismissed these threats, and are preparing to conduct another freedom of navigation exercise near Scarborough Shoal.

Update: Trigger zones fixed so that points are awarded properly and messages display.

great scenario!
can you make a alternative or scaled up version that ends up in a larger conflict?

Thanks for all the work.
I do not know why but the Chinese navy was very angry at the start of the scenario (maybe one of my CAPs got too close to the disputed islands?).
Then it was a war of attrition.
I finished the last frigate with cannon and laser ...
And I was able to arrive near Woody Isalnd and launch an attack with the helicopters (as in Apocalypse Now) .... after having very seriously bombing the defenses with F35....
No AWACS, Poseidons and other Tritons?
By cons: no Chinese submarines?
Thanks a lot

All looks good, the only minor things I noted was that civilian side is playable. I wasn't too sure what the score needed to end the scenario is either? In effect I assume it triggers as a win once all done but I think I ended up on 20 points or something like that.

Awesome scenario, thanks for putting it up!

Good to hear. However on second thought, I think it may have been my fault. I think selecting targets and assigning a land strike mission (it was disabled, ready to go for later) may have declared them hostile automatically.

I'll have to try again this weekend.

The scenario has been updated to appropriately address the trigger zones.

The Chinese will determine you hostile after you violate their NNZ, there is a message that will appear to inform you of when this is.

Are the Chinese supposed to shoot you on sight?

Thanks for the heads up. You should have received 100 points for the Freedom of Navigation exercise. There aren't any points awarded for kills because they aren't the "mission" of the scenario. I'll look into it and fix that issue.

yeah, play through and very fun scenario. The F-35 on Bougainville are very OP in CAP mission. Could this ship really carry that many F-35:steamhappy:

Only problem is in scoring. I drive the fleet through the target area(Shoal) within 24 hours, shot down many planes, sink all surface ship, even strike the airport with Tomahawk and helicopters. But only get -50 score due to loss of two F15:steamfacepalm:

Please help make it clear the scoring design.

Correct, the JSOW loaded aircraft are for ASuW work! They'll be necessary! The helicopters on the Bougainville are superfluous, as they will never be in range. I put them in just to make the ship look full. As for the AEW, I chose to leave this out as it forces you to use the sensors (primarily on the F-35s) to find targets. Obviously if you desire you can put one in, I just thought it would add a little challenge to not have an E-2. Thanks for the comments, I always appreciate your feedback!
