Main Menu Harpoon Designer Series I HARPOON DESIGNER SERIES 1 The world is an ever-changing place. Much has transpired during the first three years that computer Harpoon has been in existence. America went to war. The Berlin Wall crumbled . The Soviet Union ceased to exist. All of these events have had a profound effect on the future of this planet. The Gulf War showed us all just what our military was capable of, and demonstrated how technology has changed the ways in which wars are fought. The fall of the Soviet Union and world commu- nism has introduced new opportunities, contingencies, and new threats to the sea- going nations of the world. These changes to our world will ultimately affect all of us in one form or another. The changes in the geopolitical layout of the world have also influenced the future of the military forces of the world. At present, decisions are being made that will determine what type of military the United States will have in the next decade and beyond. Major ship, submarine, and aircraft programs have been modified or canceled as a result of the fall of communism. How will these decisions affect our Armed Forces and their ability to function in the years to come? Like the world, Harpoon has also changed. We at Three-Sixty felt that it was important to reflect the changes in the world in a new Harpoon product. We are pleased to present this Designers’ Series to the Harpoon aficionado, or “Har- pooner” as they are more often called. The Harpoon Designers’ Series is something special for those of you who wanted something more, something to challenge and educate you further. The Series is the result of the efforts of a group of dedicated Harpooners who possess the skills, expertise, and backgrounds to produce challenging and detailed scenarios. These individuals worked hard to provide their peers with a set of scenarios that would take advantage of the enhancements made to each of the four original battlesets while reflecting (and in some cases, taking advantage of) the major changes in the world. Several new weapons platforms have also been included with the Designers’ Series battlesets that will provide the user an opportu- nity to evaluate the impact that procurement, or even cancellation, of these systems will have on the future of naval warfare. The veteran Harpooner will note that we made some changes in scenario presentation. This manual contains detailed Scenario Notes that will give users the story behind each scenario. Designers Notes will provide the user with an explana- tion as to why the designer fashioned their scenarios the way they did while including insight into what special situations and platforms are featured in the scenario. The Scenario Orders contained within the Harpoon program are now presented in Message Text Format which provides more realistic detail to each scenario. Victory conditions have been written for each…

This section provides a hands-on guide to winning a game of Harpoon. Just as Harpoon ls not meant to show you all the prob- lems of a real-life fleet commander. thls section does not try to teach you everything you need to be a real-life commander. Harpoon concentrates on some of the major tactical declsions a real-world admiral wouIdh(lV'e to make in a war at sea. This ls where you can look to'\.lllderstandWi'l¥;~;!!ieclsions have to be made. and what the possible results .could be;· .

Where before armored dreadnoughts or hundreds of carrier aircraft slugged it out. now one aircraft. one mlssile, or even just one declsion may decide the victor. The tare accounts of modem naval combat reveal it to be much more intense than World War II, compressing the same violence into a fraction of the time. In World War II, ships steamed in column and then deployed into battle formation; reaction times were measured in hours.
