Thank you for following up. That's great news! I hope that there's some kind of a discount for those of us who picked up Harpoon Classic '97, like the bundle deal for Flashpoint Campaigns Cold War made available to Southern Storm owners. Or it's simply included in the existing package.

Ah, I was clearly misinformed, then. Thank you for the correction.

Thank you all for these informative responses. I will review the tactical suggestions and that demo once I've gotten deeper into the Harpoon Classic '97 pool. Interesting to hear that a re-release of the later edition of the game is being "looked into" by Microprose. Fingers crossed! I have also joined the Discord. Are there any recommended readings? Does Harpoon Classic ‘97 have multiplayer capabilities? I have seen conflicting information online.

I recently picked up Harpoon Classic '97 from Steam, having never played Harpoon before. I've played the tutorial scenario and am excited to play through all 250 scenarios in due course. I fire it up each evening with a hot cup of decaf coffee in hand and a copy of The Hunt for Red October next to me. 😉 I have a few questions based on what I've read online and heard about. From what I understand, Matrix had a much bigger, more robust version of "classic Harpoon" that was discontinued and removed from digital store shelves last year. Several months later, Harpoon Classic '97 was released by Microprose and quickly updated to v1.63b. After incorporating Steam cloud saves in September, radio silence. Has anyone here been in contact with Microprose about potentially bringing the game closer to where the community brought the Matrix edition over the last couple decades? Will custom scenarios here work with Harpoon Classic '97, or do they require the Matrix edition that has now disappeared? Why do you continue to play Harpoon when Command Modern Operations exists? (I have never played). How different does Harpoon Classic '97 play from paper Harpoon V? What advice do you have for a newcomer not only to Harpoon but also to wargaming in general? Thank you and have a good one!
