Defend Luzon

Description
Defense of Luzon – A Future Conflict in the Luzon Strait

Tensions in the Indo-Pacific have escalated, with the Luzon Strait—between the Philippine island of Luzon and Taiwan—becoming the focus of a looming conflict. China (RED) is preparing a large-scale offensive to seize control of this strategic chokepoint, threatening vital maritime routes.

Intelligence confirms that a heavily defended amphibious task force is en route to Luzon, consisting of troop carriers, supply ships, and warships. The objective: establish a beachhead and secure a foothold for further operations, backed by air cover, missile escorts, and submarines.

Your Role:

As the BLUE commander, your mission is to fortify Luzon’s defenses and repel the RED offensive. Your tasks are divided into two phases:

Phase 1 – Setup and Preparation:

Procure Units: Select assets from a pool of ground-based SAMs, ships, submarines, and aircraft.

Acquire Capabilities ("Cards"): Purchase defensive and support capabilities like cyber warfare, electronic warfare, and intelligence.

Deploy Units and Capabilities: Position assets strategically across Luzon, its waters, and key chokepoints.

Phase 2 – Execution:

Dynamic RED Offensive: Enemy strategies vary, requiring adaptable tactics.

Capabilities Management:

Automatic Capabilities: Passive defensive actions triggered by enemy actions.

Manual Capabilities: Direct input required for jamming, cyber attacks, and surveillance.

Defense Iteration: Adjust and refine your strategy based on enemy moves and mission outcomes.

Victory Conditions:

Repel the RED forces by:

Protecting critical infrastructure on Luzon

Preventing enemy landings and maintaining key corridors

Minimizing losses while maximizing enemy attrition

Failures may result in the loss of strategic positions, successful RED landings, and compromised supply lines.




IMPORTANT: Activate Special Messages to access the Setup Window. Press Play after the briefing to proceed.

Thanks @databomb, you're right, I'll do the change to explicit explain the dateformat should match your locale config

Great job with this. I've not seen this level of creativity on the scripting for a Command scenario before.

I also experienced the issue rageofkhorne noted and would suggest a slight change to the DateFormat prompt so that you're asking to match the local system rather than a preference for this scenario.

Can't help but think that this type of scenario format would be incredibly engaging with multiplayer too.

@Sylvester Thank you! I'm currently updating some of the older scenarios that I had only posted in the forum, and I'll be uploading them to the workshop. They won't be as detailed as this one, but I believe they're still interesting and offer a lot of possibilities!

It's crazy that steam put a 3 stars out of five when 24/25 are positive by the internal stats... :/

This is a great scenario! You should be proud of creating this, I look forward to any other scenarios you might make in the future.

@unparedsocksociety I don't think that's realistic at all, in an hypothetical conflict the only ones able to defend Luzon would be US, that's why there're only Philipphines and US platforms. My focus was more in mimic professional and educational wargames that in create more "gamey" scenario.


But please, feel free to edit the lua files, you can add the platforms you want without too many complications, check the DataInit-lua action script

Had a play around with this last night and I'm really impressed with all the custom scripting!
One criticism I have though, is the selection of hardware to choose from. The selection is essentially copy/ paste of the U.S. air force. I'd think either a more realistic representation of planes from the world over to choose from would be more interesting as that would bring more unique weapons to play with to the table. Same goes for land and navy assets.

@da_general420 No DLC needed, just be sure you're on latest stable build (1567.6 at this time) Thanks!

Are there any DLC prerequisites for this scenario? It looks awesome, I just want to make sure I am getting the full experience. Many thanks for your hard work!
