Thanks for the info TonyE. Christmas is FOREVER AWAY! Had Harpoon back over twenty years ago on the computer and still have the boardgame. How can I find a coupon for Harpoon Ultimate edition please? NZ$104 is just too much https://www.matrixgames.com/game/larry-bonds-harpoon-ultimate-edition

Gidday Gidday all, Downloaded the free demo of HCE and its fun with a very friendly user interface. Am interested in buying Harpoon Ultimate Edition but in New Zealand dollars it is $104.99. Presumably Matrix has sales when one could pick up it cheaper. Any one know how many times a year it goes on sale?

Very interesting link Tony... "The professional world got the first glimpse of it (multiplayer) last week" . . . "The multiplayer functionality for Command is initially being developed for (and thus, funded by) professional clients first before rolling out to the consumer release" (dated 200211) Pity that CMO has such a hopeless UI compared with Harpoon...

Hi Tony, Thanks for your reply. Yes PBEM or umpire assisted play sounds great. Have the boxed game of Harpoon. Would be happy to voluntary to be part of any project to get multi-player modern naval wargaming going Yours Faithfully Seaplane Paul

Gidday Gidday Tony, Thank you for your prompt reply. It was kind of you to write such a detailed answer thank you. In answer to your question: 2. If so how does multiplayer work? N/A. How would you like it to work? Wouldn't it be great if we could online against another human player? I'd love there to be an option where you could sign into a server and play with another human in real time online Is that a dream to far off?

Gidday Gidday all, I much prefer playing with real life humans than against computers. Am considering getting back into Harpoon after I played it decades ago as a kid, but need to know if it can meet the following requirements. Sorry about the long list...Would be most grateful if someone could kindly answer the following questions thank you. Yours Faithfully Seaplane Paul Multiplayer 1. Does HCE allow for multiplayer? 2. If so how does multiplayer work? 3. Does multiplayer work well? 4. Is it practicable to find multiplayer opponents? Modern Pacific Warfare 5. Are the Chinese PLAN Type 052D, Type 055, and Type 075 playable in the database? 6. 5. Are the RNZN ANZAC class frigates with their Frigate Service Upgrade to carry Seaceptor missiles playable in the database? 7. Are P-8A Poseidons with harpoon missiles playable in the database?
