And get singled out politically for *starting* a war...? Some of these people designing scenarios man...

Negative, I've got no plans for that. I'm currently working on some US led Coalition vs PRC scenarios.

Is there a version to play the Russian Federation side?

There is a known bug where CMO freezes; according to the Matrix Forums, this has hopefully been fixed for the next build.

Game locks up. Time stops advancing can't continue.

so then I should be seeing Russia get its arse kicked to Hell yeah?! and Rightly so.

will you update as new information about the start of the war becomes avalable? like unit positions etc??

calibri font will work and be white on startup and black otherwise; times or arial font cause grey some kind of glitch.

Will you be putting this into the Community Scenario pack? You absolutely should. There's a forum post to submit this on the Matrix Forums, that way it goes into the Steam workshop CSP and the one hosted on the official CMO website.

BTW, I believe there is a bug in the current version of CMO that means that GBU-53 SDB IIs (Stormbreakers) are currently unable to track moving targets. Luckily, you've got plenty of SPEAR 3s available for that task, and most targets are stationary so this shouldn't cause too many dramas.

Version 0.33 released with the latest update of CMO 1147.45, DB 493. Hopefully this should remove the need patch the game prior to playing.

To answer the question below regarding the fictional / hypothetical platforms in the scenario - they're based off the CMO "real life" units, but I've added additional weapon systems, sensors and datalinks to make them more similar to the assets in the Dale Brown "Patrick McLanahan" and "Dreamland" series of books. They're in this creation and my Op SANDSTORM scenario; they can be saved and imported into others should one wish.

One of the most fun scenarios i've ever played, keep it up!

Yes, this is a fun scenario. I mean the UAV's stationed at Lask AFB armed with bombs. It's not a problem, I just thought I'd let you go.

BTW, did you create some of these hypothetical platforms, or are they all in the DB?

Thanks for playing and the feedback. Yeah, I kept trying to turn that text white but for some reason it kept resorting to black. Mine-laying missions have to be set up via the Mission Editor and I think most mines, including the ones on the Orcas need to be in shallow water. I haven't ever used them before in this scenario or others. Which UAVs are you on about BTW? Some are already airborne.

Just a head's up, the drones stationed at Lask AF Base don't, if I'm reading it correctly, show up in the order of battle drop down menu. They are spoken of in the briefing.

Does anyone know how to deploy the mines that the HAWK force submarines carry?

I don't know if it's intentional, but the scenario description screen has a pretty dark grey background that makes it hard to read.

I'm glad that you enjoyed it!
On another note, I believe that the Steam version of CMO has now been updated to the latest patch. That should mean that you no longer need to go to the Matrix Forums to patch the game to play the scenario.
I'm away on holiday at the moment, but I'll remove that part of the instructions when I'm back.

Thanks Tempest. I tweeted this scenario in Japanese (on Youtube)

I think its impossible for Europe to beat Russia In Ukraine.Its really hard.

No, this is a pretty short and sharp scenario focused more on hitting targets to prevent a RF strike on Ukraine and gathering intel on RF ground forces. All non-HAWC NATO aircraft are banned from Ukraine airspace. While the NATO in my scenario are more aggressive than the real-life version are currently, at the same time they're trying to keep some distance from HAWC's mission.

just curiosity does this simulate the EU OR NATO supply Ukraine? Where in the background or other wise. great job with the NATO TANKERS no going into Ukraine airspace.

Another couple of minor updates so 0.32 is now out - Ukrainian aircraft no longer try to use NATO tankers, I've fixed a trigger that brought a message up too early for my liking, and also fixed some typos.

Hi Tempest,
I was doing a lot of research in this matter Ukraine crisis and I commend you for doing this. I wold like matrix to update there database as they can do there own research without compromising national security. they can update with public knowledge of assets around the world. For example the RF with artillery the soak the air around the targets that they are using against the civilians and military installations. I hope this situation ends and the world have a military tribunal for the war crimes that the RF has done.But the threat of nuclear that the RF stated will affect weather or not to proceed with this this mater. At leased have the RF pay Ukraine the cost to rebuild. even this might not happen.

The EB-52 have Stinger mines that are launched from the tail gun station. I've added Stinger missiles there, but I've not left a hostile aircraft get close enough to test them lol. That's what the AMRAAMs are for 🤣.

The Orcas seem to be working fine for me, but I have definitely seen subs misbehave in other scenarios. It might be worth posting the issue on the CMO tech support forum with a save file.

Also I think the orcas get stuck, they move around very oddly and won't get off the bio fish

How exactly are stingers mounted to the b-52 lmao

Tempest, I also like your note at the end, and I'm very thankful for you putting the time into develop this. I'm very much looking forward to trying it out. You're awesome.

Very minor update to 0.31 - The XQ-58 UAVs were USN versions and didn't have an radars. I've changed them to the USAF version which does have a radar.

I like your general note at the end. May the peace comes back soon!
