Try downloading HCDB2 from HARPGAMER and install a fresh copy. See if that fixes your problem. HCDB2 will nor work with the Scenarios that come with HUCE. The official db for HUCE is HCDB-250724 (1980-2015 era). Here is the link: https://harpgamer.com/harpforum/files/file/235-hcdb-250724-1980-2015-era/ Eric

Sorry, Yes, I am running HUCE not Harpoon 3
