The first anthology of video After-Action Reports welcoming GorduzBackStabber (a.k.a. Ole) to Harpoon MP has been added to the YouTubeHarpoon for Dummies channel.
It did not take long for the full import of the U.S. withdrawal from the Philippines to become apparent. U.S. presence declined in the South China Sea and this allowed other navies greater freedom. The PLA(Navy), under strict orders from Beijing, stepped up its patrols around the Spratley archipelago. The Vietnamese and the Philippines vigorously protested this action, but not much was done to help them. By 1998, the Chinese felt confident enough to make a determined push for the whole of the island chain. By controlling the Spratleys, the PLA(Navy) would be in position to threaten busy shipping routes; the forces assigned there would also cover the Chinese invasion of the Philippines. Once the Philippines had fallen, no one would be able to oust the Chinese from their sea.
Much was carried out to ensure the smooth running of the initial stages of the operation. Vietnam was bribed into hamstringing the ASEAN response and the Philippine communist insurgency was expanded and financed by the PRC. Chinese Special Forces were clandestinely inserted to advise the guerrillas. All that was needed was a spark.
Over 31 new aircraft, ships, submarines, facilities, classes, countries, and weapons have been added to the Harpoon3 PlayersDB with the official Database editor authorized by AGSI. The PlayersDB remains the only Harpoon database that actually works.
A new video After-Action Report for "Trade Barrier (ASEAN) [MP]" has been added the YouTubeHarpoon for Dummies channel to help Harpoon players navigate the complexities of the game and to deliver the best possible playing experience.
I have recently bought Harpoon UE. I am trying to work out the best version to play (if at all; with Naval War: Arctic Circle out maybe Harpoon has been usurped? or is Naval War not as 'deep' as Harpoon? what about GCB?). Anyway at first sight, the number of versions of Harpoon is confusing, What should someone start out with (as of April 2012)? HUE, I have read, has 240 anomalies, ANW slightly less, and 363 is the most reliable, correct ? Does that mean 363 is bug free, or does it also have 60 or so anomalies ? (363 does not have a screen resolution that suits my Widescreen laptop, nor can I get the ini installer to install ..(it cannot register 2 files)) So for a novice, like myself, is it going to make a lot of difference if I just use HUE ? With the complete PlayersDB are the anomalies in HUE a) resolved or at least b) tolerable ? In other words which is the best Harpoon version considering I am using PlayersDB ? (considering i am a novice)
Lastly, manually editing the ini for 363, do I point the Battleset folder to BattleSet or Battlset (with Player'sDB installed)? Where can I get info about what goes on in the ini with regards PlayersDB ?

A period of rising tension, sparked by the U.S. announcement for withdrawal of the 2nd Division, has characterized relations between North and South Korea. Border incursions by North Korean special forces have increased and several acts of terrorism, carried out in strategic cities (e.g. the destruction of Pusan's main railway signaling centre), have been identified as occurring under North Korean instructions. The rhetoric issuing from both governments has become increasingly bellicose. In order to show commitment, the U.S. has moved the 7th Fleet to the East China Sea and has sent across both ground reinforcements and munitions. Although a number of U.N. resolutions have been passed, condemning the belligerent moves, only the U.K. and the Australians offer more than vocal support. A U.K. Marine Commando is flown to Twenty-Nine Palms and two frigates sent from the Gulf. Australia offers a battalion of troops, a DDG, and two frigates.
UN Resolution 1847 has passed and the US is isolated from its traditional sources of oil in the Persian Gulf and former trading partners. The only readily available supply lies in Venezuela. Negotiations are underway with President Hugo Chavez in hopes that Venezuela will not honour her commitments to both OPEC and the United Nations.
This scenario was inspired by the Christoper Andrew Irvine's two-book series, "Dawn of the Crescent Sun and has been written for Harpoon3 and the PlayersDB with the consent of the author.

South Korean forces are desperately trying to organize. Striking them while they are in port and vulnerable will greatly help our cause.
"In a carefully planned series of attacks, the Warsaw Pact begins a war against NATO. Their goal is to seize West Germany, gutting NATO militarily and economically. The Soviets will demand a high price for Germany's return, or assimilate its industry and technology for their own use."
"One of the strategic imperatives for the Danish and Federal German (West German) Navies in the opening days of a large-scale war between NATO and the Warsaw Pact is the mining of the narrow straits in Danish waters. A successful campaign of bottom mining would bottle up the Soviet Baltic Fleet and its Polish and German Democratic Republic (East German) allies.
The capacity of the NATO forces to lay minefields was staggering. In just one sortie of all capable vessels, the Danish and German forces could lay over 3,000 mines.
As open warfare erupts, NATO Naval Command issues the order to close the straits to Warsaw Pact shipping. The first lift of mines has gone off without a hitch; the ships returned and many loaded more mines, others converted back to their primary role as attack submarines and missile patrol boats. The second sortie, designed to thicken the initial minefields, has just left harbour."
This scenario was inspired by the situation described in the "High Tide" compilation from Clash of Arms.
Hi everyone. I am new to this site, although I have a series of scenarios being released on other forums, namely the Matrix Forums and Herman Hum's Harplonk Forum. For those unaware, the name of my set of scenarios are under the banner The Indochine Campaign. Here is the announcement of the 5th game in the series. I hope you check it out and if you do, have fun!

The 5th NEWIndochine Campaign scenario of the year!

05 The Mauritius Command
The island of Mauritius has been graciously "lent" by the French to British forces as a fall-back position from the Indochine assault on the UK bases up north in the Seychelles. An all-out retreat is now underway as Allied forces make their way south for the island of Mauritius.
It is here, in concert with US forces re-trenched in the Comoros Islands, that Allied Forces will hold their ground and start a war of
attrition in the Indian Ocean - to take back what they once possessed, and to bring the war home to the Indian Indochines. This is the hill to defend, or die on.

This is the fifth scenario written for ANW and HUE using the customized CasoDB. The scenario and database are bundled within the PlayersDB installation file due to its phenomenal popularity and ease of use.
I am unable to get a database to open. I can't find H3CD.
The H3RE gives me a run time error after pressing one of the "buttons"
DB portion of the scenario editor seems to not be working. I use the drop down and I can get a long bullet button list of equipment, but there are no other buttons in the window. I then have to close the program and start it over.

OK, here's a request. You may already have done this in a video, but I think there's a Harpoon scenario ("Return to the Kola Peninsula"??) about a nuclear strike on the Kola Peninsula by B-52s and A-6s. Sort of end of the world, but I'd really like to see this scenario run by somebody who knows what he's doing

Re-supply will be an important part of the Imperialist's war effort. A combined task force has been infiltrated to an anchorage on islands bordering Maemul Sudo, with the expressed aim of disrupting any Japan-to-Korea convoys. Destroy as many of the ships in the first major convoy to leave Japan as possible.

1.0 SitRep:
As part of the invasion plan for the Western Combined Army, a joint Marine and Special Forces regiment is to be inserted near the town of Sokch'o. The convoy will set out from Wonsan and will use darkness and the cover of the shoreline to achieve a safe transit. Contact with the enemy is to be avoided unless the safety of the transports is compromised.
