wombat1417

Strange thing - when I did a cut and paste of the serial number from Don, the installer refused to accept it. When I typed it in, there was no problem. So, I'm up and running again.

I just reinstalled HCE after my computer blew up. It works fine, but the .096 beta updates crash the program. I have Ultimate Harpoon saved on a backup drive, but the installer will not recognize my serial number. Any way around this?

It's just wrong to name a ship for a living person, even Arleigh Burke. The honor should be a posthumous legacy, if their lives merited it.

Read this one about six years ago - I highly recommend it. I've mentioned this before, but Macmillian and Kennedy read this just before the Cuban Missile Crisis kicked off. Had to read her "The Zimmerman Telegram" in high school, finally got to this one late last year. Massive in detail, definitely NOT light reading: will require your fullest attention, but worth doing. The first chapter, with the crowned heads of Europe at King Edward VII's funeral, is alone worth the price of admission.

When I had a problem with very slow downloads, I eventually found out that I was accidentally running competing firewalls from McAfee AND Windows Defender AND yet a free recommended third party. Once I reduced it to McAfee only, no more problems. I prefer the boxed game too. I like having a printed manual I can add to the others in the collection.

As an exercise in Soviet carrier airpower, eliminate said base and a USN CVBG. NOTE: Using the latest HC2011.013GE will eventually trigger an "AI Stopped Sub" error message that will later stop the game cold. However, It worked fine when I backtracked to the 2009.064 GE.

Back in the day of Harpoon Classic, I learned the game by playing the Original GIUK scenario "Gauntlet" because the printed guidebook (!) took you through it step by step. There's good, basic practice in aerial surveilance, air-to-surface and surface-to-surface combat, possibly some anti-submarine warface, and very rarely, surface-to-air engagement.

What kind of scientific research requires an aircraft carrier?

I hadn't seen anything about this anywhere. Was thsi blowback from the vet treatment scandal a while back?

Great! Where are your carriers when you need them?

Can't wait to see what gets done with "Hungry Hungry Hippos".
