File Name: HCStrikerFictDB File Submitter: TonyE File Submitted: 05 Mar 2007 File Category: Databases Database Description: This database is not intended to reflect reality, it is a collection of my own imaginary platforms and those of the people around me. There will be many versions of one of my favorite planes, the F-14, and my favorite ships, Iowa class Battleships. Please contact sysop@tgp.net with suggestions. *NOTE - The EC2003 & WestPac battleset scenarios will not work with this database, only scenarios written for this database will function.

And here Bret got us crossing the IDL in Harpoon Classic without nearly the potential catastrophe, go Bret! Not to mention going South of the equator, no small feat for a very Northern focused game.

I'm trying to base some B-52 bombers at U-Tapao airbase in Thailand and finding the runway size isn't large enough. Is this something that might be changed?

So far I cannot recreate any lock up of the game itself. If you manage to find out how to make it happen reliably I'm all ears but I'm fearing it is just a strange confluence on your particular machine. I just played HDSC 01 Opening Day end to end (minimum victory, air defenses at Riyadh were too strong for my TLAMs) without issue (except my Leahy/Spru group wouldn't stay at Creep once I got them out of the gulf, they kept gunning it up to 32 kts Can anyone else add some suggestions to this thread? My next thoughts go to low probability places, RAM issues, Virus scanner, etc. It is just so strange that the game locks up instead of erroring out, the lock up just isn't a common HC thing unless the whole system locks up (often notebooks that overheat thanks to HC). fwiw I played on a dual-core notebook with more than 1GB RAM, Vista (eek), game version 2003.16b3.

Thanks, having trouble finding the time to play at the moment, anyone else have 2003.16b3 to take that scenario for a run? I'll get to it as soon as I can...

Thank you for the information. Nothing obvious sticks out at me, just for the heck of it you might try turning off auto-saves (but then do remember to save manually). When in the game you turn them off by going to the Settings menu, then Game Settings, set Save Every to zero. I'll run thru those scens with 2003.16b3 in the next two or three days and see if I can't scare something up.

Can you tell us a bit about your system? Operating System Notebook or Desktop Exact Harpoon version, when in the game, go to Help, then About, what version is listed? What is one of the scenarios that has resulted in Not Responding? Does your whole computer ever lock up or is it always just HC2002? Thanks! We really haven't seen much of what you are mentioning, when the game dies normally it dies from a crash rather than becoming unresponsive.

Until there are CG-1000 a plenty around (or heck even those little stealthy Chinese missile boats if US would buy a score or two) keep cranking out Burke's for me! Hmm, I assume we Harpooners speak in the facts and the Washington folk living in a fantasy world? Hard for me to say that though, Adm. Mullen seems to be a stand-up Navy guy US and Global interests at the forefront.

Pete, that SitRep has a whole lot of good things to think about and to try! I read the article and think it is a huge step towards simplification of air to air warfare and also look forward to your putting the new rules to test.

Haven't seen the Axis & Allies: War at Sea yet, hmm . And congrats on receiving yout H4, it was an eye opener for me in regards to the computer games!

A smile to my face and an even bigger cringe that now, past the days of the F-14, an F-15 of all beasts will carry the Phoenix! I just don't know what to say.

What seems a little scary to me is only three ships listed in the CSG, a CV, DD, CG. At least another Burke would make it feel like something approaching a survivable force and let's hope there is an SSN there that nobody is telling us about.

Excellent article Pete, and a good hint to everyone who doesn't have a USNI membership to get one

Pleasure to meet you Sharker, time will tell whether you are Fish or Fishbait Always looking forward to getting more people (back) into the game, holding MP game times, and maybe even writing scenarios and maintaining databases.
