I just got an original shrink wrapped box with H2 on optical disk, probably CD. It runs only on DOS, so I drug out an old Compaq biz PC, blew the dust off, said a short prayer and fired it up. It's alive! But, running XP, so I installed Windows ME which has a working Virutal DOS mode, and after a bit of tweaking the game runes, but it needs patches, badly.

I know this is off-topic a bit, but I couldn't really find anywhere it wasn't. I have been looking for a full ANW download, anywhere. It seems that if you don't have it now, you're screwed—also, the H2 database editor. I found the menu-driven one, but it's all but useless. Any pointers to either or both would be awesome.

i've found my bigbox verion of harpoon 2 but when i try to install it i get a "you cant run this game on your computer " msg. My pc runs Sea Power etc which led me to search for the old classic harpoon stuff that i have such fond memories of. I have downloaded dosbox hoping that would sort it but I hav'nt really got a clue what to do. Is it salvageable or would I be better off with Ultimate Harpoon which i think contains my fave 'Dolitovs raid'?

Hello, how can I refuel aircraft? First, I select the aircraft. Then I select the logistic icon and then select the tanker. What am I doing wrong?

Hello, how can I jettison ordnance to improve DATA? If it is possible.

Hello, I have been installing again H3ANW and I can't run the scenario editor. After each installation of HUCE, H3ANW, H3v364 and H3v394 it appears a message saying that registration key is invalid. I have started HUCE game engine and scenario editor and they run properly. I have started H3ANW game engine and runs properly but SCE doesn't.

Hello, I am newbie in ANW. How can I order air units to land? Is there any hotkey?

Hello, I am trying the Scenario editor with ANW DB. When trying to edit a new scenario it tells me: ***Error*** Scenario creator: Change in longitude exceeds 180 degrees. WHat does it means? How can I edit a new battleset of GIUK?

Good Morning, I have H3 ver. 3.9.4 and H3 ultimate ANW. I switch between games for no specific reason and I noticed they have different databases, and even different configuration launchers. H3 has the HUD3 1.3.21 while the ANW has HUD3 1.5.0 DB. I would like to update to the latest DB. Could anyone tell me what the most current DB is and how to update? I just started playing Harp again and although I can remember updating in the past, it was a lot of years ago and my memory just isn't what it used to be. Thanks in advance!

Hello All, I am just getting back into Harpoon after a few years. I have the HUD3 and ANW versions and I am trying to put together a Time over Target spreadsheet. I have the very basics now for just a few planes and weapons but I would like to get the planes and weapons databases into a spreadsheet. I need speed info on the aircraft and weapons (harpoons, tomahawk, etc) to work the numbers. It looks like it will take some tweaking but so far I can get close. Way back I had edited the Ship DB adding the MSO, MCM, and MHC. But that was maybe 20 years ago. Can anybody give me a hand with this? Thanks in Advance! Bob Cashman

G'day everyone. Mike here, newbie to this forum but not to Harpoon. If any of the original 'pooners' are around, they'll probably recognise the nickname. Ok, this is probably the wrong section but I did look and nothing else seems more appropriate. Cutting to the chase... I've been playing the PC Harpoon since the first week the original version went on sale then followed its evolution to H II. I've always been a keen WW2 enthusiast so when Jon's database editor showed up, I was in heaven and built my own WW2 database. Not many folks back then were into the WW2 stuff (Mostly because game limitations prevented accurate doctrine for the era) so I drifted away from the ac…

Hi all. I am seeking opinions from people who create or would like to create scenarios for ANW. The purpose here is to see if all the development work I have put into a new Database is for naught or is there something that I could improve to make it better. The subject in question is an Optional Rule that has been in the Miniature game since I got involved in that side (Harpoon 4 in the late 1990s.) Pilot Experience. Bringing Pilot Experience to Computer Harpoon would greatly increase the realism and allow things like the Great Marianas Turkey Shoot, MiG Alley in Korea, or how about the Six Day War in 1967. In each of the examples above, and in many others …

Guys in v3.9 and above the KC-135 tankers that start at Clark AFB start with 0 fuel and therefore just crash on take-off? I assume this is a bug? Regards Andy

Hi Folks, Question - noticed there was a Colonial Wars Database - looks like it was last made for 3.6... I can't seem to find a valid database download - they have it on the old Matrix site but it's a bad link and just loops... Is it worth finding - or - is 3.6 lacking in many of the newer features ? Is it available anywhere ? Wouldn't mind trying some older scenerios... Any suggestions ? Regards, Scott

Ahoy all. I have the following Harpoon games loaded on my computer: Command Wargame of the Year Edition Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval Warfare Harpoon 3 ANW v394 Harpoon 3 Ultimate Advanced Naval Warfare Harpoon 3 v3.6.3 HUCE I'm hoping for scenario recommendations for the period covering the 1980's and the present time dealing with US vs Soviet/Russia or US vs China thank you Dennis USN 1963-1966

Silent Hunter´s AARs displaying his way through the HC versions are fascinating. I will start a similiar walkthrough, based on the H3 version.

I found several tools from the official wiki of AGSI such as the latest platform assistant, the radar assistant, the sonor assistant and so on. Here is the page:http://www.wiki.computerharpoon.com/index.php?title=Harpoon_3_Utilities However, all the links seem dead. Has anybody tried them before? Are they very useful? And where can I get a copy of these utilities?

File Name: Naval units graphic sheets File Submitter: Steve Caruthers File Submitted: 11 Mar 2015 File Category: Tools/Docs When I run a strategy game, I always need to have in front of my eyes, the situation, the development, the progress of the results, the forces available, the weapons range and, at the end, a full report with statistics of the weapons fired, hits, miss etc. This is why I always help with prepared paper documents, that are of immediate consultation and do not require laborious navigation through the menus of the games to find the information you seek. As for Harpoon, whenever I decide to play a scenario, I first analyze the order of battle of …

My version of Harpoon 3 ANW is 3.7.00. I downloaded and installed the collection of scenarios "complete_ANW_library.zip". When I start the program gets an error message, "annex version later than program version". So the first question I ask is: what is the version of Harpoon 3 ANW that this database (or library) wants? Not knowing the answer I tried to download the latest patch available I have found, the 3.11.1 (the file is called exactly "Harpoon3ANW-UpdateRelease-v3111.zip"). I did not find any indication of how to install this patch. So I tried to install it directly on my version 3.7.0, but does not work. So my second question is: what are the steps (step-by-step) t…
