00:00 Start
In Episode 4 of Naval War Arctic Circle, we attempt the scenario "Baltic Encounter"... playing as the Russians. Can we sink 2 ships while NOT losing 2 ships ourselves?
01:23 Scenario Start
Let's... head southwest. We have Vikhr hydrofoil, Steregushchiy corvette (CIWS), and Admiral Gorshkov frigate (SAM and CIWS).
We immediately detected an AW101 NATO helo to southwest with its radar on, trying to detect us, probably already did. However, our SAM lacks range and we have no air assets that we can call upon. No doubt they will be using it as a spotter and antiship missiles are coming in later.
04:33 Incoming missiles
As expected, enemies have launched anti-ship missiles, and first to fall is the Vikhr, then the Gorshkov when someone did not engage the automatics.
Let's try that again... Reset scenario!
08:35 Scenario Start
We'll head west and launch our 2 Helix's as spotters. They are also armed with light anti-ship missiles.
As soon as the AW101 turns off the radar, we'll change course to northward. The Helixes will head south, then southwest.
10:59 Incoming missiles!
At least 8 salvos detected, A mix of RBS-15s and Harpoons.
All weapons engage as they come into range. Gorshkov, defend as necessary.
12:05 Vikhr goes down
Vikhr was hit by 2 RBS-15s and sank quickly.
Next salvo is heading for the Gorshkov, but was intercepted.
Third salvo managed to damage the Gorshkov.
Fourth salvo was intercepted completely.
The other four salvos failed to find us.
17:21 Bogey spotted
Our Helixes climbed to 1000 m and turned on their radars, and found the enemy ship... Stere then launched its Oniks missiles at it. Absalon frigate was destroyed.
Helixes are RTB for refueling. We need to find at least one, if not two other enemy warships around here.
18:45 Launch spotters again
The Helixes are refueled. The ships will head southwest, while Helix will search to the west and south-southwest respectively.
19:26 Sneaky, sneaky!
We spotted an enemy warship hiding next to one of the islands! No wonder the ship can't spot it...
Gorshkov launched Oniks, only to have them smack into the island!
The Helixes launched their missiles, but did no damage.
22:39 Close to gun range!
Stere, go around the island and kill it with your cannon.
23:35 Mission Accomplished
Bogey in range in 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Fire! Fire! Fire! Hit! Hit! Target destroyed!
Mission accomplished. End simulation.

We are starting a new series where I try this game I bought a while back... Naval War Arctic Circle by Turbo Tape Games. Basically, it simulates a war between NATO and PACT forces in the far north, with both campaign and scenarios, plus a 6-part tutorial.
Unfortunately, this game is no longer available for sale on Steam or ParadoxInteractive.
