which is best and why?

Probably not as much as I could have. My wife loathed the Action station " berr der Berr der sound of the original sound in the Amiga original, and wasn't too fussed about the vampire vampire vampire bit in H2 [:D][:D][:D]
Since I signed up for the beta in Command there is a big chance if I live long enough Command will surpass the Harpoon time by much more.

excellent game CMANO, though i really enjoy the Harpoon games too and i think both have aspects that are different enough that i would always say to ultimately aim to get both. CMANO is though more stable and up to date and is freakishly easy to pick up and play but of course hard to master.
Its also a great work of historical simulation too - spanning such a period of time that mean being able to play and compare the periods and technologies - such as in the First Contact scenarios - just the difference between 1986 and 2016 alone is interesting.
Harpoon took me a while to understand just how to do things like even plot waypoints and make missions but with CMANO that is all very simple to do. Make sure to get the latest patch too

I doubt I'll play Harpoon again and I've got thousands of hours into those games. The available scenarios make Harpoon a viable candidate for a while to come, though. However, once Command gets a good batch of them out there, there's no contest.

Ditto. Played Harpoon long and hard, and it was a good game for its time. CMANO is already so refined that I see myself playing only it (and Steam and Iron [;)]) from now on.

I'll probably load up Harpoon once again to port my favorite missions to CMANO.

CMANO has so much more Depth and potential for future community scenarios. I've played both and have no regrets with either, cost or playability.

It's nice to have a newer game that is only going to get better with time.
