Manual/Help Issues

I seem to recall that an old Harpoon manual (which I unfortunately no long can find) contained listings of typical airwing compositions for the various different CV types available in the game. I don't see this in the hard copy manual I just received with the game. Such a listing would make scenario construction much easier, especially for a player who's not familiar with carrier ops.

Hi all, I notice a few newer players have some difficulty grasping naval tactics, and it can sometimes be long winded to explain some things in a forum post especially if you end up doing it for several of the forum users. I have begun work on an ASW guide, which I will be posting up in this thread everytime I have updated it to keep things current. I have laid out some groundwork for the first section of the guide, not very much, but enough for some of you to see whether it is worth me carrying on writing it in this manner and plus whether the content in there is any good. I would appreciate your input as I am a firm believer that no one person can be the fon…

Note that the layout is designed for 5x7 paper, which is approximately half of regular letter paper. If anyone wants the editable source documents, you will have to pester Tony for them. BS_Builder_Manual_rev2.pdf

If someone wants to create the wiki pages for the BS Builder instructions, now would be a good time. Suggested page title - http://www.computerharpoon.com/wiki/main/i...e=HCCE:BB_Guide A prior thread: http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?s...c=2065&st=0 Known limitations (2008.020): Entire world map is not possible, but you can come close Extreme latitudes leads to extreme distortion A BattleSet cannot encompass the 'long way' around the world. An example would be a BattleSet from the West coast of Iceland to the East coast of Iceland, via North America (i.e. Iceland would not be part of that map, if it were possible in the BS Builder).

from Tony, in "play aids" thread: ... to expound a little upon what each one does as keycard descriptions are necessarily short, but if someone eventually builds an interactive keyboard chart, longer descriptions would be very handy I will be working on this now. It will not be a manual, because the manual already exists. However, I will definitely be plagiarizing like mad from the manual. If there are copyright issues, I hope that someone removes them.

In order to use the Harpoon interface efficiently, it is necessary to use both hands: one for the mouse, and one for the keyboard. In addition, there are some important commands that can only be issued via the keyboard, and there is not even a mouse work-around for some of these. Somebody with the handle Blond_Knight has provided a list of the keyboard commands. (http://www.matrixgames.com/forums/tm.asp?m=1664018) Tony suggested that I put them in graphical form. Here they are. <OLD VERSION OF COMMANDS.PNG DELETED BY AUTHOR. SEE BELOW FOR NEW VERSION.> <OLD VERSION OF KEYCARD.PNG DELETED BY AUTHOR. SEE BELOW FOR NEW VERSION.> Personally, I thin…
