Wargaming Hormuz

Sending out a feeler to see what the interest might be in wargaming the current situation in the Strait of Hormuz.

I'm particularly interested in the parallels with the Dardanelles Campaign

Brief summary: https://www.history.com/topics/world-war-i/dardanelles-campaign

Presently working my way through this: https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/s/strait-comparison-lessons-learned-from-1915-dardanelles-campaign.html

I put together a multiplayer server, with a mission based on P. Arnold's amazing PG map which includes basically all known SAM sites in the region along with locations of military and infrastructure targets. https://www.digitalcombatsimulator.com/en/files/3301349/

Placed a carrier group from a fictional universe where the Stennis sill carries Tomcats and legacy Hornets. Just getting started, still don't have SRS up yet etc. etc. etc, but if you want to check it out, look for PADCOM on open beta. Password: zen

I have a really simple strike mission loaded up, I imagine it could be done by yourself if you wanted to.

My thinking is, to progress through a series of scenarios that might reflect the order of battle if things blow up over there. Starting with a limited strike against some radar installations and assets. Following which, what? An attack on US naval assets maybe? Possibly the carrier group itself?

So, partially a springboard for discussion and wargaming, partially a hybrid of PvE and PvP coop. Partially having fun with ME.

If the interest is there I'll start up a Discord and maybe buy another slice o' server, reckon I'll need the ram eventually
