File Name: Indian Ocean Escort Map File Submitter: kmart494 File Submitted: 13 Nov 2015 File Category: Maps This map supports the Indian Ocean Escort scenario from Harpoon Naval Review 2003. The scenario setup file is in the Scenario download category. The map scale is 2.3 pixels/nm. NOTE: The old background was a transparency that caused problems with text rendering. This version uses a black background that cannot be changed from within SimPlot. Click here to download this file

Just purchased all the available Harpoon 5 materials at Wargame Vault, along with the free jumpstart. At the ATG website there is a link to print your own counters.....sure wish there were some other way to get quality accurate counters.....,

File Name: The Last Exocet File Submitter: kmart494 File Submitted: 21 Nov 2015 File Category: Scenarios This is a SimPlot scenario setup file for "The Last Exocet" scenario in the South Atlantic War publication from The Admiralty Trilogy. I had to take some liberties with the UK starting positions as some things were not clear (maybe just typos in the original scenario). This scenario uses the Falklands 1 map from the Map section. Some aircraft units have no velocity. This is to simulate aircraft in a holding pattern. The aircraft that just launched from Rio Grande are climbing/accelerating and have a reduced speed and altitude. Please note ther…

PeterG posted H4 stats for the Valour Class FF. Until he does so here (wink-wink, nod-nod) this is the link. Valour FF Stats Thank you Peter Pete

Kevin - It is mentioned in SITREP60 that there may be a simplot2 file eventually for the Bugout scenario in the magazine. Does one already exist? I'm going to run this scenario soon and I can make my own easy enough but if the map image and txt file exist already for it (or for that matter, a full scenario file as well as the map files) Regards, Peter Robbins

Do you think it is normal that CZ are not dependent on passive range? This means that a good sonar (BQG-5 WAA / LF-MF / 6 nm Passive Range) has the same number of CZ a bad sonar (AQS-22 / LF-MF / 1.5 nm Passive Range).

I am wondering would you consider adding mobile ground units?

View File Guardian (H-V Jumpstart Scenario) Guardian is the scenario featured in the Harpoon V Jumpstart guide. The included map is a standard SimPlot version, unlike the Jumpstart version which was modified for printer-friendly colors. Submitter kmart494 Submitted 08/15/2020 Category Scenarios

Work on upgrading SimPlot Viewer has been delayed but I am expecting to resume work on it shortly. Here is a list of things I will do: Fix range circle problems that may not have been visible to players, such as having multiple circles of the same radius even for different units. Creating a new circle like that would sometimes be rejected. I will add a "Visible" checkbox to the range circle form so a player can create range circles but have the option to turn them off until that specific circle is needed (instead of deleting and re-creating it later). As an option, I may also create range circle categories such as radar, sonar, air weapons, surface weapons, and subsur…

TARGETS! Viking Forge Scroll down page to see the 4 new modern classes of models from Viking Forge. DDG Lanzhou, DDG Guangzhou, FFG Ma'anshan, and FFG Jianghu I. Glad to see someone is paying attention.

I was wondering if there's any plans to update simplot since I have been using it a lot recently and there's some quality of life that I'd like added. Specifically, A way to put an aircraft into a loitering state without waypointing the same circle 20 times as well as a way to give orders to a bunch of selected units instead of one unit at a time.

Can you confirm that ECM used against missiles ARH and Decoys used against missiles IRH? Nothing is mentioned in the rules.

Began a test scenario of a "veteran" USMC BLT+ attacking a "competant" Iranian Revolutionary Guards Infantry Brigade on a map of the greater New Bern, NC area. See general map here. The game starts with Opfor with an infantry battalion in the vicinity of Cove City, SApring Hope, and New Bern itself. The artillery battalion is in the vicinity of Chip. The armored reconnaissance company is screening to the south centered on Pollacksville. The USMC forces are conducting an advance to contact with a BLT OBJ 1 being the airfield at New Bern and with the MEU OBJ A being Washington. First turn, an LAR Company with a 155mm battery in DS engaged an Opfor Armored Reconn…

The 21squad Harpoon 4.1 International wargame site has new portal, now has not necesary enter them by the old url. The new url has: http://www.21squad.com

Finally got around to downloading 2.2.3, and am blown away by the changes made and the possibilities it opens up. These were just quick tests I did this morning with some maps for another project.

Kevin, this is a request, Can be added a 1 sec time advance, I know it is not necessary but I've been thinking about it, and the accuracy and possibilities it brings to the program. Thank You. Will we see an updated Simplot when H5 is released?

Hi In 9.12.2 Building a TOE (South Atlantic War), it there mention of Annex T Ground Combat Strenghts. But where it is ? Thank you.

here Mission The Joint Direct Attack Munition is a guidance tail kit that converts existing unguided free-fall bombs into accurate, adverse weather "smart" munitions. With the addition of a new tail section that contains an inertial navigational system and a global positioning system guidance control unit, JDAM improves the accuracy of unguided, general purpose bombs in any weather condition. JDAM is a joint U.S. Air Force and Department of Navy program. Features JDAM is a guided air-to-surface weapon that uses either the 2,000-pound BLU-109/MK 84, the 1,000-pound BLU-110/MK 83 or the 500-pound BLU-111/MK 82 warhead as the payload. JDAM enables employment of acc…

In Annex B of H4.1, the F/A-18C/D lists among its sensors: "...FLIR and Laser Spot tracker can be carried in a pod." It is not listed in as ordnance. What type is it? In Annex G2, an AAS-38A/B is described as "FLIR for F/A-18" but does not list the spot tracker, could it be inferred?
