Issue #44 Our Motto: "Worth-The-Wait!

" MAR/APR 1996

I love airplanes. I love the history behind them. I love
designing air games (can you tell?). I love putting on good
tourneys at Origins. And, I love putting out a good journal that
is enjoyed by a small but rather elite bunch of educated and
mature gamers. Those of you who've met me know this. Ifthere
is one thing that I always aim for with this journal, it's to fill it
with good material and to promote camaraderie among all of us
aviation minded enthusiasts through a shared hobby. This
takes time to do right (time that I don't always have). So, I'm
running late. Does it matter? I'm still going to put out 60 fun-
filled issues, my word is out on that. If you don't believe this
journal is worth the wait though, don't resubscribe. I'm not
changing my one-man show anytime soon, nor will I lower the
quality of this journal to produce issues faster, so, if you feel like
complaining, save the stamp, it probably won't do any good. If
you must complain, do so without the immature personal

the aircraft may not turn or execute any maneuver other than a

gains 1 accel. An aircraft which unloads for the entire turn loses
2 levels ( one at the midpoint of the turn and one at the end), gains
1 accel per level, and ends the turn in a steep dive.
Example: An aircraft moving speed 6.0 in level flight performs
an unloaded dive in the following manner. It moves ahead two

Scenario 1: Air War Over the

Balkans, 1963
Background (hypothetical): Six months ago, Yugoslavia's beloved leader, General Tito, was
voted out of office by a sniper's bullet. The unscheduled referendum left a leadership vacuum in the
Balkans, and longstanding tensions between the Serbs and Croats ignite into civil war. With U.S. and
Soviet support, the United Nations negotiates a truce, and Scandinavian and Indian peacekeepers are
deployed, including a squadron of Swedish J-29F Tunnan fighters.
During the cease-fire, weapons covertly flow into Yugoslavia from many sources and renewed
fighting appears possible. Noting the export of surplus arms from West Germany to anti-Belgrade
Croats, and fearing that an independent Croatia would extend NATO's reach into the Balkans, Moscow
warns that if the UN cannot keep the peace in Yugoslavia, the Warsaw Pact will have to intervene.
Meanwhile, the Serbs have announced that they will resume the war if their enemies launch any further
attacks, and the Croats have decided that their best hopes for independence lie with the Western
intervention that might result from an expanding war.
Now the Croats have taken steps to bring this about, by launching a pair of ex-Luftwaffe F-84F
Thunderstreaks to attack a centuries-old Serbian Orthodox church in a disputed border region. If they
cannot be stopped by the Swedish peacekeeping patrol in the area, Yugoslavia could be plunged back into
civil war, and another world war could begin in the Balkans.

Environmental Conditions: It's a lovely Spring day with a slight nip in the air. Whispy cirrus
clouds provide a lacy contrast to the deep azure of the mid-morning sky. Edelweiss are blooming. The
hills are alive with the sound of mu ... Oh, all right! Contrails form at 30,000+ ft. The sky is free of clouds

Notes:

K. Ignore the terrain effect modifier of hex C 1-6515 for attacks on the church; i.e., treat the hex as open
ground.
2) The church is defended by a single DShK-38 AAA unit. This unit fires only after all aircraft
have completed their movement, and fires on the closest (in slant range) aircraft. If more than one aircraft
are at equal range at the end of their movement, roll a die to determine which is the target.
3) The F-84Fs are camoflauged; J 29Fs are silver. The F-84Fs begin the game spotted.
4) Game length is 15 turns, or 1.5 hours.
5) Scenario-Specific SPs: Croats score 5 SPs per D inflicted on the church. Neither player gains SPs
for damage inflicted by AAA, but loses SPs for damage inflicted on aircraft by AAA.

Scenario 2: Baltic Bounce

Background (hypothetical, but not far from historical): In the early Eighties, a pair of
Swedish Viggens were shadowing some Soviet ships in the Baltic Sea when the Viggens were intercepted
by a Su-15 Flagon. Although no shots were fired, the Flagon agressively dueled with the Viggens and
succeeded in chasing the Viggens away from the Soviet ships. Unfortunately, the Su-15 also succeeded
in running out of fuel and crashing into the Baltic. The fate of the Flagon's pilot is unknown.
This scenario represents a similar, hypothetical encounter between two Su-15TM Flagon Fs and
two SH 37 Spanings Viggens=only this time, the Sukhois are are cleared to fire their weapons. The
Viggens are shadowing a group of Soviet ships in the Baltic Sea when they are bounced by a pair of
Flagons. The Flagons are vectored by the radar operators on the ships, and the Su-15s achieve radar locks
on the Viggens as they rapidly close to missile range. The Viggen pilots have only a spike on their RWR
scopes to warn them of the impending attack.

Environmental Conditions: It's not nearly as nice over the Baltic as it was over Bosnia. The
air is cold, and two stratus layers, one at 16,000 ft and one at 22,000 ft., keep the sun from warming the
sea. Above the upper stratus layer however, the view is breathtaking. If an aircraft cares to venture above
the clouds, it would contrail upon reaching 28,000 ft., and would be warmed by the overhead (noon) sun.

Notes:

l) Ignore the terrain on the boards. There is nothing but Level O sea below.
2) The cold air and cold sea make for good IR discrimination. The IR missile launch modifier
for firing at a lower target is + 1, and it applies only for lower targets in the LO Band.
3) The SH 37s are camotlauged. The Su-15TMs are silver, but should be treated as uncamotlauged
while they are below the upper stratus layer. All aircraft begin the game unspotted.
4) Su-15 #1 begins the game with a radar lock on SH 37 #1. Su-15 #2 has a lock on SH 37 #2.
5) Game length is 15 turns, or 1.5 hours.
6) Scenario-Specific SPs: TheViggens' photo pods are expensive, and contain valuable reconnais-
sance data; therefore, a Swedish player loses 2 SPs for each photo pod that is jettisoned.
 ORIGINS-96 AIR POWER TOURNAMENT PAGE 3

Scenario 3: Portugese Sculptors

Background (fanciful): OK, here's the deal: The Portugese are pissed-off at the Spanish. (It's
conceivable) So, the Portugese send two G.91R3s to rocket a statue of Franco near a small Spanish village
that just happens to have some great cultural significance. (This is getting interesting, isn't it?) In
response, the Spanish launch a pair of Mirage IIIEs (No, I don't remember the specific Spanish variant;
it might be the Mirage IIIEQ) to swat the Portugese "Ginas." Anyway, the Spanish Mirages get really
haulin' and race to intercept the G.91 s. Unfortunately, Ginas are tough to see, and have a nasty habit of
flying close to the ground. So the Mirages blow the first intercept ... and the second ... and the third
... (This is no refection on the excellent Spanish pilots; it's just that G.91s really are tough to see)
While the Spaniards are getting really frustrated, the Portugese pilots are warily watching them
pass overhead. The G. 91 jocks know they'll get endlessly ribbed by their squadronmates if they tum back
without so much as a run at the statue, so they soldier-on at treetop level-increasingly amused by the
Mirages' antics above. Finally, the Portugese near their target and pop-up to make their attacks on the
hated hunk of bronze. They have to take their eyes off the Mirages as they line up to unleash the contents
of their rocket pods.
Will the Spaniards ever see the Ginas? Will the Portugese get away with putting a decidedly
Piccassian twist on a statue of the Spanish leader? Or will the Mirages dole out quick Matra-made death
on the G.91? This should be fun.

Environmental Conditions: This is where the Spaghetti Westerns were shot, for heaven's sake!
What do you think the weather is like? It's hot and dry, of course. Contrails form at 45,000 ft. and above.
No clouds in the sky. It's high noon, and if you listen really closely, you can hear the clinking of Clint's

Notes:

1) The statue of Franco stands magestically on a hill in C2-5618. Being a big statue, and made
of bronze, it has a visibility of 24, a hard defense strength of 3, and can absorb 60 of damage before being
returned as valuable trace elements to the soil.
2) There is a facist milita unit drilling at the foot of the statue. This unit happens to have .50 cal.
machineguns, and will fire at anything flying withing range. Place a .50 cal. AAA unit in C2-5618. This
unit fires only after all aircraft have completed their movement, and fires on the closest (in slant range)
aircraft. If more than one aircraft are at equal range at the end of their movement, roll a die to determine
which is the target.
3) Ignore the rivers, the forest and the dams. This is arid terrain.
4) The sun and the terrain make for bad low-level IR discrimination The IR missile launch
modifier for firing at a lower target in the LO Band is +4. The modifier for firing at a lower target in the
ML Band is + 3.
5) The G.91s and Mirages are camouflaged. All aircraft begin the game unspotted.
6) Game length is 15 turns, or 1.5 hours.
7) Scenario-Specific SPs: The Portugese players score 5 SPs per D inflicted on the statue. Neither side
gains SPs for damage inflicted by AAA, but both lose SPs for damage inflicted on aircraft by AAA.
 ORIGINS-96 AIR POWER TOURNAMENT PAGE 4

Scenario 4: East and West

At the Merge
Background (hypothetical): Tensions between East and West Germany have been on the rise.
Border incidents, several defection attempts bloodily averted, and a threatened blockade of Berlin mark
the newspapers. Two days ago, all scheduled airline flights into Berlin were turned-back, several airliners
were even escorted away by East German MiGs. Yesterday, the West German chancellor declared that
the air corridor to Berlin would remain open, even if it required military force.
This morning, the first scheduled airline flight to Berlin was replaced by a pair of Luftwaffe F-
4F Phantoms. Soon after the Luftwaffe fighters began their journey east, a section of East German MiG-
23 Flogger Bs was launched to intercept the Phantoms. As the two groups raced headlong toward each
other, each group of pilots received instructions to arm their weapons but keep their radars silent and
remain at cruise speed so as not to send warning of their violent intent. The East German pilots are first
to gain sight of their opponents, the telltale smoke trails of the Phantoms giving them away. But it is not
long before the Phantom pilots identify the characteristic outline of the Floggers in the distance ahead.
Almost simultaneously, each group of pilots receives the clearance to fire. The GCI controllers
have waited too long, though. There is no time for the MiGs to acquire radar locks and launch their radar-
homing missiles before passing the Phantoms. Similarly, the Luftwaffe Phantoms have no time to offset
for a classic "Hook" intercept. Instead, both groups of Cold Warriors are faced with their opponents
directly on the nose at close range. The engagement will begin "at the merge."

Environmental Conditions: The weather up here is bothersomely nice. The skies are clear of
clouds. The midmorning sun glints off the missile-armed MiGs, adding a picturesque note to this deadly
scene. The East German weather briefer projected contrail formation at 32,000 ft.; the West German

Origins Jet Tournament Aircraft Start Statistics and Loads

In "Topwop" designed tourneys each player is given a log sheet for each aircraft with its vital statistics already put in. Rather
than reproduce sixteen individual logs, the aircraft start statistics and loads for each scenario are summarized below:

Scenario 1: J-29s (both): Altitude 5, Speed 6.0, Fuel 160/80, Silver, DT configuration.
F-84Fs (both): Altitude 3, Speed 4.0, Fuel 150/120, Camouflaged, DT configuration.
