Was that the one where the OPFOR used artillery launched EMP devices?

I don't think so, but I can't say for certain. I believe the attack was conducted by conventional missiles launched from fast attack boats emerging from a number of points along the Iranian coast. However, it would make sense to cover the attack with shore-based arty and EMP, wouldn't it?

There was a scenario where a (I'm fairly sure) marine officer gave himself a low budget and extrapolated asymmetrical warfare techniques into the technological area. One of the nasty things he pulled was 155mm rocket assisted conventionally activated EMP projectiles taking out satellites, and smaller charges fired into the air during air strikes and helicopter insertions. His side was doing without a lot of electronics, so he just made everyone do without. I think this was another 'reset' win.
