DEFENSE OF PUERTO NATALES: OPERATION SOBERANIA II By Connaugh Operación Soberanía (Operation Sovereignty) was a planned Argentine military invasion of Chile due to the Beagle conflict.

SITUATION: Argentina's present government has made plans to initiate Operation Soberania II and capture Puerto Natales. EXECUTION: The Chilean 25th Mechanized Infantry is to defend the border crossings at Cerro Dorotea and Casas Viejas. The 5th Armored Brigade is to advance from Punta Arenas to defend the city of Puerto Natales.

The Defense of Neutral Moresnet By Connaugh Neutral Moresnet was a small Belgian–Prussian condominium in western Europe that existed from 1816 to 1920 and was administered jointly by the United Kingdom of the Netherlands and the Kingdom of Prussia. It was 1.5 kilometers (1 mi) wide and five kilometers (3 mi) long. After 1830, the territory's northernmost border point at Vaalserberg connected it to a quadripoint shared additionally with the Dutch Province of Limburg, the Prussian Rhine Province, and the Belgian Liège Province. When Belgium gained its independence from the Netherlands in 1830, the Belgians assumed control of the Dutch role in Neutral Moresnet (though the Dutch never formally ceded their claim). SITUATION: The Irredentist Party has gained control of the government of the Netherlands and has ordered its Armored Forces to invade Neutral Moresnet and acquire it by force with the expectation that the international community will grant the Netherlands “de facto” ownership. The government of Belgium strongly protests this action. EXECUTION: Belgian Forces (1/3 Lancers) are to advance into Neutral Moresnet to defend the town of Kelmis from capture. FORCES: Belgium: Leopard 1A5 x 4 Piranha-IIIC x 4 (with Spike Anti-Tank Missile Teams) Netherlands Forces include Leopard 2A6 tanks and CV90/35-NL PC’s. Scenario ends when all enemy AFV’s are not operational or Kelmis is captured. Scenario takes about 20 minutes to play.
