Shore Leave

Best wishes to all who shall harpoon in 2009.

This was sent to me by an old shipmate who lives in Illinois now. There were some images with it, but I can't figure out how to post them with the text. Buddha This makes you think twice before complaining True Story..... Luke AFB is west of Phoenix and is rapidly being surrounded by civilization that complains about the noise from the base and its planes, forgetting that it was there long before they were. A certain lieutenant colonel at Luke AFB deserves a big pat on the back. Apparently, an individual who lives somewhere near Luke AFB wrote the local paper complaining about a group of F-16s that disturbed his/her day at the mall. When that in…

Tom Clancy, Larry Bond, Steven Coontz, Dale Brown - I have read most of their stuff. Did not necessary retain the copy. I will give a brief discretion of a passage of action - and can anyone help with name the book or author.I'd guess book was written between 1988 (last year Reagan was President) to 2006 (into Clinton years) Toward the end of the book.

And they start firing a the missile - with a Sm (standard Missile)- First missile has a proximity fuze and fragmentation warhead. he describe fact closure rate is Too fast - proximity fuse works pe…

I'll be watching. This series, going toward midnight each night, has been putting a cramp on my Harpooning. Go Mets!

A wish for a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, from HarpGamer to you and yours.

Trying to gauge if the site is working well for people, and if not, any comments on geez this is frustrating and such are appreciated. This does not mean whether IRC works for you, just if the website itself (www.harpgamer.com) comes up for you or not.

Just to let everyone know, I am going on holiday from tomorrow until 15 July. Email access will be sporadic at best.

Too much fun not to share ... Ganked from here: http://verydemotivational.memebase.com/201...-shark-problem/

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year all from our family, both physical and virtual! What do you wish for from your modern wargaming in 2019?

I will be this week in Madrid at http://iugm.es/actividades/congresos-y-jor...s-de-seguridad/ if someone is here, keep in touch ...

Snatched from the jaws of those who would rob us of the purity and essence of our natural bodily fluids.

My own personal opinion, of course, but I can hardly think of a better choice. Well done. Congrats to my American friends.

First off, I'm not a detail person when it comes to models, in fact I tend to buy them to convert to RC operational toys, this one had a strange below waterline but not full hull so I didn't convert it. Anyway, thought there might be minor interest in the bookshelf contents, it kind of scared me the limited subjects it covers (war/war/war sci-fi/electronics, textbooks/big books again mainly war Forgot my rocket, Sizzler! (flown once so far with a big engine, flew just high enough to lose sight of it) In case any of you are nuts and note the absence of Harpoon paper rules, you'll be happen to know they are at the office, not on my bookshelf at …

Today, in partial payback for the Long Island Children's Museum, I dragged the fam over to the Cradle of Aviation Museum at Mitchel Field (an area known as museum row so just a brief walk). Some take-aways: take advantage of the knoweldge and experience of those who have gone before us before they are all gone forever. Given Long Island's history in aviation, and particularly military aviation, the majority of the museum workers are fomer Grumman and Fairchild-Republic retirees. What a wealth of information if one would just stop and listen. The F6F Hellcat is enormous up close. Here are some photos of the modern stuff of interest to some, if not most, of us …

I love it! http://xkcd.com/974/ Every time I make a programming or project management decision the weight of the tradeoffs is so apparent. Generalized pluggable sensor model in 3 months or better ESM than we've ever had in 2 weeks, agghh! Number 980 is more than awesome too.

I send you the PowerPoint of my latest presentation, is in Spanish, but with some funny photos.

Just a quicky to thank you guys that put all the information into this site. Things like Brad's tutorials and things like the help files. So many places just can't be bothered to do a decent job with the "boring stuff". I actually went to the help files and found what I was after (and a lot more). Don Thomas
