My copy is winging its way.
The general reader should'nt overlook Ed Dille and Tom Bashams 'Strategy Guide to Harpoon 2'. 1994 Prima
Ed is a former naval Tactical Action Officer and Tom is a former defense contractor on US Army
helicopter simulations and an electronics engineer in R & D.
Most guides make good reserve paper for the WC but this one is almost a training manual on modern naval warfare.
Subjects covered :-
Intelligence gathering.
Planning mission profiles.
Organising Task forces for mutual support.
Defence against all threat profiles: Ships, subs & aircraft.
Matching weapon and salvo size to target type.
Locate and destroy the enemy.
The actual game mechanics of H2 are only covered minimaly (30 out of some 430 pages). Mostly its Seapower
and Maritime srtategy- Sea Control, Sea Denial and Power projection - hardly a game manual more
lifting the lid on how real-world naval officers utilize the assets at hand in real-world situations.
