LOVED the old Harpoon Series games.

Anyone recommend a substitute?

I enjoyed the tactics side of the game. I am less interested in shoot-em-up games.

Thanks, in advance.

I heard they were working on a new version (not mod, an actual new version!) Harpoon 4. Just went to the official Ubisoft website, and they state:
"Larry Bond's™ Harpoon™ 4 PC Feb. 2004 Simulation E $39.99 "
However, that was spring of 03, Fall of 03, Spring of 04...
Don't hold your breath, I don't see this moving quickly at all. However, I was a big fan of the first Harpoon so I am waiting patiently.. Here is a link to their website......

oh. em. gee.

Just what I need. a world-spanning, accurate-as-Jane's, naval combat game.

Maybe if I clone myself, and make the clone do my work...

...and then clone the clone and make the sub-clone do all the *house*work...

...and somehow fix it so I don't have to eat or sleep...

Damn you/bless you, Ubisoft!

hlprmnky: No doubt.

There is no such thing as "Let me just sit down and play 20 mins of Harpoon"... HA!

However, it is SO SATISFYING taking out an entire Soviet Battle Group with wave after wave of F-18's launching Shrikes and Harpoons..
