Gentlemen, An Umpired PBEM Harpoon game is being offered to anyone that is interested. The scenario being played is a slightly modified version of Surge into the Barents published in High Tide page 59. If you’ve had enough with the computer stuff, tired of a burning retina, and bug fixes, and want a real mental exercise than playing Harpoon4 in way it’s designed to be played is for you. The requirements to play is: one must have a copy of either Harpoon4 or 4.1 Rules, graph paper – that’s right, I said graph paper, you’re going to do your own plotting men. Protractor, ruler, calculator, and pencil with an eraser are also required. No, there is no fancy graphics, but if you want a naval combat experience then be prepared to do a little work. Also, Larry Bond has taken interest in this PBEM contest and has asked me if I could write up an article regarding this scenario in a future Naval SITREP. I would appreciate your help with this project by contributing AARs after this contest is over. Boys, if you’ve been thinking, when will I every play those High Tide scenarios? Well here’s one for you. If you think you have the right stuff then check out the command opportunities below and pick three command choices, in order of priority. I’ll do my best to match your choice, but be aware its first come first serve basis. If there is anyone that has an ASW expertise I would encourage you to come along side me as an Umpire Assistance. Scenario details, procedures, respective platform form(s) will be sent to your email once all positions are filled. Command choices must be sent to my email. Don’t send your choice through the forum. Thanks.
