SouthPacIslands-NamedSeaTest
By donaldseadog
This Battleset is to test the idea of text in the texture file naming geographical features, in this case some of the seas and oceans.
The text is rather grainy and is not well aligned but is something that perhaps can be improved and show an idea for future more sophisticated work.
The included scenarios are to be played using Database HCDB2-170909 and toy with an upgraded australian defense capability in line with various announcements of the early 2020s.
Note for scenario 3, in order to obtain maximum surprises ensure you you have not disabled nuclear weapons.

SouthPacificIslands
By donaldseadog
This Battleset covers the islands of SouthWest Pacific extending to the east to Hawaii (Pearl Harbour),to the west to much of South China Sea and to the south to the northern end of New Zealand.
The built in scenarios use database HCCW-140314 (available in Harpgamer downloads) but you can write scenarios using any database, this zip pack includes a template style scenario for HCDB 150929 as a suggested easy starting point The idea of this scenario is to allow easy writing of new scenarios by moving groups to where you want them, or deleting unwanted ones, setting up victory conditions and orders. The databases do not include many of the islands by name so I've put them in the template scenarios.
To use the battleset exract the HDSU.rsr and HDSU res files into your main harpoon directory/folder probably HUCE in a std installation. To play the built in scenarios you need to copy the HCCW-140314 database into the main folder or use TonyE's HC Launncher (from the Harpgamer downloads) and select that database before opening the game.

Malacca Straits
By donaldseadog
A Battleset with inbuilt database and ten storyline scenarios.
Installation instructions are in the download zip file.
Malacca Straits, Asia equivalent to the Straits of Hormuz. A strategic trade choke points for several Asian countries including China.
The straits run along the coastlines of Indonesia and Malaysia with Singapore in the middle. China's major trade route to Africa and the west makes it of high trade and strategic importance. China has for decades claim reef, shoals and uninhabitable island as their territory and by threaten or actual force taken them. The island building campaign first stated as just claiming lost Chinese territories has become a military base initiative to levy control over the South China Sea of which the western part leads to the Malacca Strait.
The Malacca straits is located on the western part of the South China Sea which connects it to the Indian Ocean near the Bay of Bengal which is controlled by India. Australia being a large supplier of LNG to India also though not a strategic see value in not allowing China by any means control it.
A major part of Chinese energy is dependent on the Malacca Straits and see as a major vulnerability. China through trade agreements has keep the peace with counties belonging to the ASEAN trade pact. The island building program has some countries to back away from China due to militarization of the South China Sea.
Australia lately has condemned Chinese action in the South China sea and ever more their interaction with Australian military units. Australians LNG export to India are aided by unmolested transit of the Straits.
The U.S. continues its Freedom of Navigation in the SCS but not without harassment and warnings from Chinese built island bases in the SCS.
India has maintained as best a relationship with both side with the recent military exercises with China and Russia. While also doing so with the U.S. and E.U. countries.
In the region China has used it wealth to create favorable treaties and if needed coercion to control all shipping in the SCS. This leave not only Taiwan separated from possible allies' intervention of a Chinese invasion but many countries in the area also vulnerable.
China has laid claim on the Indonesian island chain of Natuna but has yet attempted to move on them. Indonesia is yet an unknown of how far they will go to defended them and who of the ASEAN countries and Australis would aid them in a standoff with China.
Natuna island would be a huge advantage for China in not only controlling the western part of the SCS but also that of the Malacca Strait.
Malaysia and Singapore are continuously busy with increase pirate activity of whom seem to have an endless supply chain.
China has increased it harassment of other countries military forces as they try to surveil the SCS in further intimidation or hiding what they are up to in the Western part of the SCS.
The control for the SCS trade sea-lanes and riches moves West

World War II - 1941
By Mavgaz
World War II - 1941 Battleset.
This BattleSet is ment to be mainbase for the world war scenarios episodes during 1941 in WWII.
This is in testing process where I will be gratfully to receive any opinion, correction or sugestion, even if is criticize.
This is my first work in Moding or creating scenarios and battleset. .So it is possible to require few details or modifications.
I will be available to any changes and I send any file you need for changes.
Moreover I want to thank to TonyE and CV32 for the constant support and lovely hoby job which still make Harpoon game working.
Also without their help in the contruction of the battleset and scenario, and without WWII database of CV32 would be impossible to create it.
The Battleset only have one scenario for now:
WWII - May 1941 - the hunting of Bismarck ( This scenario was built whit some study on the event and try to be represent as real as possible.
It has the untis envolved in this event and some suport of bases and planes for some strategic balance for each side.
It was dificult to manage the total realistic progress on bouth sides, caused by the computer player behaivor)
I hope you enjoy it.
More scenarios are adjourned for game engine problems fixed.

South Africa with included DB
By divefreak
South Africa
A Battleset for Harpoon Classic Commander´s Edition
Written by Réne Haar and Ralf Koelbach
It is 1988. South Africa is still governed by President Botha, who symbolizes the Apartheid-Regime. The country is shaken by riots and the state of emergency is declared.
South Africa´s neighbours are waiting for a chance to overthrow the Apartheid-Regime in Pretoria.
Meanwhile the Glasnost Era between the US and the USSR ends abruptly: few days after the Moscow Summit in May/June, Gorbachev is ousted by a Communist Coup.
All hopes for an end of the Cold War have gone to pieces within hours. The new strong man is Secretary Ligatschow. He vows to reestablish "law and order" and to strengthen Communism all over the world.
The US Government led by President Reagan is caught by surprise. US forces have to be quickly repositioned and prepared for what may come.
But where will the USSR start to reestablish its tight grip?
The Politburo chooses South Africa. Large parts of the Red Fleet are already in this area. South Africa is an outlaw in the Western World because of its Apartheid Regime. Its strategical importance is obvious.
Its neighbours will support any attack on the Regime.
Thus the Soviets draw their plan.
By chance there is one US Carrier Battlegroup in the area.
And so an epic battle starts.
