Background

Computer Harpoon was derived from the original Harpoon paper rules game. Think Dungeons & Dragons (tm) for naval warfare. It was originally designed back in the 1970's as an ASW training tool but eventually developed into a all aspect of naval warfare. The current edition of the minatures is Harpoon4.1 and are maintained by Larry Bond with help from Chris Carlson. For more information and a history of Harpoon minatures, go here.

Sample Game

Here are some pictures of game held at Origins 2005 in Columbus Ohio:

Scenario: Soviets move into Cuba in 1982. Diplomats are engaged, forces meet in the Florida Straights. Note: Key West has been moved for game purposes.

Soviet orders: "Comrade, we will stay with our Cuban brothers, regardless of what the American think. Let them feel the discomfort of having us near their shores".

US Orders: Re-enforce Gitmo.

Status at game time limit: Soviets immediately illumnated the US Gator Fleet with Hormone B's and engaged with MiG27's armed with 48 xASM-12. Of the first 32, one got through and due to some extreme (let me repeat EXTREME) luck, USS California suffers a magazine explosion in a 5" mount and goes down (ahem, it went "up"). In the air - 16 more AS-12's, 16 SSM-12's, 20 SSM-19's and a few SSM-2C's.
