After designing my own scenerio with an Ohio class sub and starting the game (ANW V 3.10 HUD 3 DB) my sub turns blue and disappears. Some missiles after being fired also turn blue and vanish. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Steve

I've been trying to upload a scenerio for the community yet I get an error message stating that the file isn't allowed. Can someone tell me specifically how to put a scenerio up onto the site. Thanks. And for those who lost friends and family 10 years ago today and for those brave sailors, soldiers and Marines who have gave their lives so we can have our freedom, may God bless you and your family. You are not alone.

Hello All, I've set up an ANW Dedicated Server running with Players DB. Server is version 3.94 and we've found that people with 3.10 are crashing the server upon login, so FYI, if you've still got 3.94 and want to play Multiplayer, you're welcome to play at: 67.171.132.46 Port: 14342 It is available 24 x 7 --Wolff

File Name: Blank Aircraft loadout sheet for Excel File Submitter: Pappystein File Submitted: 4 Jun 2012 File Category: Tools/Docs Authors: No Information This file allows a person to submit to the database editor a complete loadout by loadout walk-through for a specific aircraft. There is a section at the bottom for weapons quantity per store position. All locations except CL are duplicated (EG Fus1 would have 2x the number of weapons listed on this sheet because there are TWO fus1 pylons.) It is suggested that the creator of the file fill out as much data as possible. It is also suggested that the creator of the file know how to insert/copy and paste ro…

Im having problems again with weapons not shooting within their range. Target has been identified and an enemy yet the staff message pops up sayinig tatget is out of range. Tony E, not a dire need so don't get yourself fired from work answering my silly question. Harpoon ANW V 3.10 DB is HUD 3. Thanks again, Steve OK. Weapons seemed to fire after pulling back from the target. Inside minimum range perhaps. Also EA 18 Growlers firing HARM 88 weren't given option of which RADAR to shoot on enemy vessel.

Hello, will the server be up some time this weekend? Regards, Ralf

File Name: Deep Blue Sea 3.pal File Submitter: Mgellis File Submitted: 31 Aug 2013 File Category: Tools/Docs I revised the Deep Blue Sea .pal file again, changing colors for reference points; I think they are more visible this way and easier to use when writing scenarios, etc. Click here to download this file

I don't think it's mentioned often enough just what a great bunch of members we have in this group. A week or so ago, I upgraded to the Ultimate Edition, and completely lost the SE. Within a day, Tony had me back up and running again. This morning, I was attempting to do DB update in ANW, and bolluxed things up to the point I couldn't load a scenario. This time it Was Ralf who saved me from what I thought would be a complete reinstall. I heard back from him with a solution in less than 2 hours. Try getting action like that, (gratis no less), from Microsoft sometime. Thanx to all, Buddha

I've thrown together a program to allow you to edit some of the Text RES files from H2/3. It was mainly built to edit HARPTEXT.RES and CONTEXT.RES. It will also successfully edit any of the other RES files with TEXT in their name. At some point I may expand it to allow editing of the TUTORIAL.RES file and a couple of others. Grab the file at: http://www.harpgamer.com/utils/HGH3ResText_v.1.0.0.0.exe Let us know what doesn't work and what should work better. I understand it is rather basic...

I'm a long-time player of HCE, but I never explored ANW because I ran into operating problems from day 1. At the time, I posted them to the Matrix support desk, but they didn't have even one suggestion. So I'll re-post here what I posted there: Problem 1, This happens in both version 3.10 and 3.63. If the game window is centered, or on the right half, of my desktop, the cursor disappears when I move it over the contents of the window. It will reappear on the other side of the window if I keep moving the mouse. Also, it does work over the blue bar at the top of the window, so I can move the window around on the desktop. If I move the window to the far left…

H3 ANW v3.10.1.0 HUD3DB v1.6.1 While playing a scenerio I designed a Eurofighter Typhoon is ordered to attack a red ARM MBT Troop position using a MBDA/Storm Shadow/SCALP missile. Just before missile hits red target missile acquires blue base and hits it instead. To play the scenerio launch the Typhoons from the base south of Manila and attack the MBT positions near the embassy building in Manilia. SCN file is attached for those who wish to tackle this one for me. Thanks again. Steve last_game.zip

Greetings to all I'm an old Hapooner and I like wargames for a long time, also the Harpoon series, but never in depth. I am a fanatic of naval warfare (one of my first board games was Midway ). I came to this forum after seeing the video series for dummies by ughed and I had tu buy the Ultimate edition with the idea of reviving old battles and I´m sure I took another good time with him. The truth is I am an overhelmed in this moment with a lot of information but I count on your knowledge and my effort to become a connoisseur and lover fo this fantastic wargame. I I would welcome any information that you consider useful to be learned, slowly but surely and steadily…

For some reason, the Data Base Manager tab of my Launcher shows two instances of HUD3 - 1.6.1 - May 4TH 2011. Selecting either one appears to have identical results in the game, but the DB is listed twice for some reason. Is this supposed to happen? If not, is there a way to remove one of the entries without trashing anything. The Launcher's .ini file doesn't seem to have any entries that apply, and I'm not sure where else to look. Thanx, Buddha

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 …

Hi all! Working on textdescriptions for Herman's PDB, I kindly ask you to help me.... with links to submarine sites. I am looking for usefull links of the German submarines (type 205-214), but all replies about submarines are welcome! Cheers, Taitennek

Hi all, Bought a played the original Harpoon back in the day. Haven't played in a long time, but have tried the demos and am planning on purchasing the UE for H3/ANG. But I have a few questions. So I started the H3 demo, glanced a the manual and jumped in, as is my wont. I chose "Watch that first step":. No problem. Need to get those boomers safely on their way. I have 3 Orions and 3 CP-140 Aurora (not too familiar with the later, but we'll sort that out soon enough). and 2 WHECs and one DDG ASW helos. So make a long story shorter I place line of passive sonobouys, set up a pattern for the WHEC and DDG and begin escorting the boomers out with on…

I'm interested in comments from H3/ANW old hands regarding the different versions of the game that are in the ultimate edition relesae. One item that might be a hiderance to me is my RAM, 1/2 gig including onboard video. 3.6.3 seems to play more smoothly than ANW [3.10.1 update?] and it handles automated ASW work better (my observation open to user error). ANW certainly has a few nice extra bits but I'm looking for what will play the game best. Recent custom scenarios look far more interesting to me than the old built in ones (and I need up dated databases to run them but haven't yet managed to effect this in 3.6.3), how would this effect version choice? Are there any…

Hi all, Just installed HUE. I want the most up to date H3/ANW and some of the latest databases. What are the first things I should do? What is the best method for adding databases? Thanks, EDIT: Disregard. Installed PDB and and progressing well. Moderator, please remove this topic/thread

I've seen that ANW has a v3.11 update yet after using the check for update option the program says that I have the most up to date version which I still have 3.10. Been struggling with this for awhile so do relieve my frustration!
