August 22, 20205 yr Hello all from Windsor in the UK. I have a copy of Harpoon 4.1 and High Tide but never gotten round to playing it. The release of Harpoon V gives me the nudge to really give it a go. I've ordered the print books from wargame vault and downloaded the quickstart. Does anybody have any general advice for a sensible way to go about learning the game? In my experiments in the past, keeping track of unit locations and separation was a bit of a faff, do people recommend going straight to SimPlot 2 for that? TIA for your suggestions, Windscale.
August 22, 20205 yr Welcome! I am also new and in the process of learning. I and another new person met on discord and we exchange scenarios to play and learn if you'd like to get in with us. On my own time I have been going through the rules and trimming them down as a lot of points have fluff that don't include actual game impacting mechanics. Next is to make like 1 pagers for shooting, aircraft, etc that will be new player friendly as I run games for friends who do not have the patients to read 100s of pages of rules.
August 22, 20205 yr Author Hi, yeah, I'd be interested in that. Probably be a couple of weeks before my books make it across the pond I expect.
August 23, 20205 yr As the creator of SimPlot, I am biased and highly recommend it. 😀 You do not have to wait for your copies of H-V to arrive to begin learning SimPlot. My documentation for the program is incomplete and somewhat out-of-date, but I designed the program to be as intuitive as possible. Feel free to post any questions you may have about H-V and SimPlot in this forum. Kevin
