Question about GUIK 8: Rapier

Post by sirtwist2 »

Greetings,

I'm not sure this is the right place, if not, please let me know!

I'm playing Larry Bond's Harpoon: Commander's Edition.

I'm playing as NATO in the GUIK 8.0 Rapier scenario. I'm not sure when I'm supposed to fire my missles. From the way the orders are phrased, I'm going to receive orders as to when to attack and which base. But so far, I haven't received any new orders. Am I reading this wrong? So far, I've already had contact with the Soviets, which I was supposed to avoid.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks!

You should ask this question in the Harpoon forum. It is a gameplay question, not a technical issue.

Yes, the orders are a bit vague.  The game is unable to send you messages as you play.  So, you won't be receiving additional orders (even though that may have been alluded).

Just fire your missiles at the time you deem best.

I found that forum after posting here, I expected the Harpoon forums to be at the top of the forum list, not down near the bottom.

Thanks for the reply!

Ok, so I further assume that I pick whatever base or bases that I want?

Thanks for the response!

IIRC, the orders do not specify exactly which bases you hit.  As long as you hit/kill a couple of the (I think), you will win.  However, I find it very, very difficult to win that particular scenario.  I'm not even sure if it is winnable.  [:D]
