File Name: Stalintc's Icon Mod v1.02 File Submitter: Stalintc File Submitted: 15 Aug 2008 File Category: Tools/Docs Authors: Stalintc Designed for use with post HCE 2008.43 I have created a mod for HCE which adds my own personal artwork in place of the stock icons in the game which makes them look slicker and more up to date. Replace the GR_ICONS.BMP in "Matrix Games\HCE\Graphics" with the GR_ICONS.BMP file contained within the attached zip file, remembering to backup your original file should these icons not work as expected or be to your taste.

This is something I came across that might be of interest. From: http://navysite.de/cvn/cvw.htm It probably belongs in the FAQ thread, but I can't post there. I couldn't completely clean up the format, but I think it is understandable. The Air Wing compositions from 1943 to 1998 The charts below do not reflect the exact Air Wing composition they just give an approximate view of the most common compositions. In addition to the CVW a Fleet Tactical Support Squadron (VRC) Detachment consisting of 2 planes is embarked aboard the carrier. These detachments are not listed below. In the "additionally" – chart lists just the most often used squadrons. These are squ…

Someone want to take a crack at creating a new Battleset (using the Battleset Builder utility) for the Caucasus region? Ideally I think it would include the Caspian Sea on the east (right hand) side, and the eastern portions of the Black and Mediterranean Seas on the left. Maybe centred on Tbilisi, Georgia. It might be nice to be able to include a good portion of Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, as well, but the resulting map might be a bit too large. Messing around with the BSB will tell for sure.

If you use current Beta versions of the game (or the as soon to be released2025 official patch from matrix) then using ExxportDLL add_ons has slightly changed with TonyEs latest game features and you can be caught out. From(about) vs2025.012 both the game engine Winharp32 and the Scenario editor Wscenedit32 will now load exportDLLs that are in the standard install ExportDLL folder, only the GE will load them if they are in a subfolder ExportDLL\GE (you need to create this folder) and only the SE will load them if they are in a ExportDLL\SE subfolder ( you need to create this to use it). Current export DLL aren't designed to run in the SE and may cause issues so it wo…

I seem to have lost sound in HUCE. It's either non-existent or just crackles and pops. Can someone help me please?

Somewhere between now and when the manual was written, the Abbreviations/Names of the Air Missions changed. Any where I could find a translation?

If you have not 'subscribed' to the issue or 'tracked' the topic this will not apply to you. I'm considering only allowing the immediate notifications since they work more reliably than the other types.

Last night i had a chopper landing on my frigate and the target of an enemy SAM (sm-2 I think) and was delighted but surprised to see the information "point defense got 'em all". Looking at my weapon ammo i deduced it was the 3" otto gun that got the kill. I've previously seen in a similar situation where the chopper lands before impact the sam hits the ship so really a nice result. Unbelievable shooting, maybe.

TACTICS 101: NAVAL FORMATIONS - PART 1: THE FUNDAMENTALS Although far more detailed than is necessary for the purposes of Harpoon Commander's Edition (HCE), Part 1 of this discussion about naval formations will help to establish the fundamentals and could be useful for other versions of Harpoon (principally Harpoon 4.1 paper rules) and other naval wargaming efforts. Part 2 will focus on the step by side assembly of a naval formation within HCE. Part 3, in turn, will deal with adding fixed wing aircraft and helicopters to a naval formation. So what is a naval formation? A naval formation is an ordered arrangement of two or more ships. Naval formations s…
