If you use either Skype or Steam for online chat, we can arrange a time to meet and try to work through your problem together. Sometimes, it is just easier to do it in real time.
The issue was wrong database file related - once I installed the 1980 - 2015 basic one I was able to launch the introductory walk-through scenario with no problem so the case must have been I had messed with the database files before. I only found that out when I was trying to get the Stennis CVBG scenario in the Spratlys to work, all the files downloaded form HarpGamer. Thanks a lot for that , b the way. I have been continuing with my South Georgia operation in the meantime and I have just found out that you can easily set up an ASW mission to protect the task force form Argentine submarine( -s)without the necessity to plot the course manually with all of the reference points. Which means I am still seeing that potential in Harpoon despite my continuing of the maritime operations in CMANO.

Watching your YT tutorial I am assuming you have used a custom notepad file to rewind the instructions from the walk-through scenario description and orders? I did the same thing even though at first I had had the impression it was covered by the game interface. Which then means I am getting smarter as I go with all of the help and insights provided here & there and that is exactly the way it is supposed to be happening. Thanks again even though originally this thread was supposed to refer to another thing. BTW, in the Stennis scenario the date in the weather forecast section is in line with the scenario setting - 2016 - and not that nasty Dec 21st 1970. That must have been the bloodiest day in the Harpoon history with so many naval engagement occurring on that particular date. Reminds me of 'Operation>Flashpoint<" and May 30th day, the bloody Friday when most of the missions and fire fights used to take place especially in the custom scenarios made by the community in the previous decade. A long way from there now to wage the war on seas and oceans.
