Hi Pooners,
status update: Yesterday I finished a new tutorial scen for the official tutorial battleset (HUD 3 version). It deals with three features ANW got :
- ship-to-ship UnRep (possible since 3.9.4)
- boarding of a hostile ship
- takeover of hostile facilities
Coming with 3.10!
It could be useful to exercise this through (without hostile resistance) before you play the larger scens, with heavy hostile resistance, incorporating these new features:
- The Trap (for ANW DB; includes UnRep) [existing]
- Assault (for ANW DB; includes takeover) [new]
- Pason 8 (for HUD 3; includes boarding and takeover) [new]
Regards,
Ralf

Is this PASON battleset about some war on Haiti? Maybe about Duvalier family?

RE: Harpoon 3 [ANW] scenarios for the HUD 3 DB
Hi Spearfish,
[:)] No. It is kind of an "Advanced Beginner´s Battleset". It is meant for those newbies/backcomers, who have worked through the original Tutorial Battleset and are on their way to climb the next step on their tactical ability´s ladder.
I started this battleset several years ago for Harpoon 3 V 3.6 and the db2000 database. Then I converted it into ANW (and the first scens in Harpon Classic, too) and have expanded it several times.
I currently only maintain the Harpoon 3 ANW version for HUD 3. The current release is up to Pason 7, with Pason 8 sent to AGSI in order to release it with ANW V 3.10.
The scenarios steadily become more challenging and from Pason 6 onwards, are large, complicated and veyr sharp battles.
The name "Pason" stems from the fact, that one of my sons was interested in Harpoon and I started this battleset to write scenarios for him and for playing MP with him. Unfortunately he soon lost any interest in Harpoon before we could play them. [:(]
Regards,
Ralf

RE: Harpoon 3 [ANW] scenarios for the HUD 3 DB
Hello Pooners,
" A Fight to the Death" maybe is the most discussed and debated stock scen, delivered with the very first battleset for Harpoon 2 back in 1994.
Several pooners have written their own modification of this thrilling scen. In the HUD 3 version currently available, there is a modified version based on discussions Darren and I had.
Here now is another variation, my "personal edition":
http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.ph ... owfile=570
Heavily modified, carrier air wings updated to modern times, Russians armed to the teeth
For ANW 3.9.4 and the current HUD 3 release.
Have fun!
Ralf

RE: Harpoon 3 [ANW] scenarios for the HUD 3 DB
Guys,
since I got LOTS of mails and PMs, here´s an update:
- one guy mailed me because of an issue with ships nots firing at missile TALDs. He experienced it with my "Fight to the Death - mod" scen, published here a few weeks ago.
First of all: Thanks for playing the scen! It is good to get a feedback. Every scen designer needs that from time to time. This is a point where all scen writers agree, not matter which db they use. I think Freek, too, often asked for some kind of feedback.
Thus to all: Please give feedback to the scens you play ! The scen writers need days, sometimes weeks for a good scen. All they would like to have is a nice little AAR, showing them that their work is appreciated.[&o]
The issue mentioned may be database related, here HUD 3 as of 2009-6-12 (the current release)
- the pooner who found this did get no response from Darren Buckley / Bucks so far. The reason: Darren was out for a longer time, he was sick. I´m very glad to have met him a few days ago in a social network. He´s recovering. I hope - and believe - he´ll finish the next HUD 3 release for ANW 3.10. [:)]
- I was asked about my unfinished / underway scens. They will be finished, maybe early enough for 3.10. It will be Pason 9 - a LARGE carrier battle - and at least one more modified stockscen. All with and for HUD 3.
Regards,
Ralf

Visit to Valdez (mod. version)
Scenario for Harpoon 3 ANW 3.9.4 and HUD 3 V 1.3 as of 2009-06-12
The original "Visit to Valdez" scenario is part of the "Cold War" Battleset. When it first came out back in 1996 or so, it was unplayable on the machines of that time. Fortunately, modern hardware makes playing even very large scenarios possible.
This version is my interpretation of this complex scen. It is playable one side only - the Russian/Soviet side.
Many pooners favor playing US side because of the rich inventory and their beloved carriers.
In this scenario you will lack nothing: the carrier is in, tons of modern Russian aircraft, their best subs.
Since the map is very large, this one is like a good game of chess: you can shift the battle from wing to another, play around your opponent and so on.
As long as you manage to destroy the American facilities.
Be sure - you are up against the best assets the US have.
Enjoy!

RE: Harpoon 3 [ANW] scenarios for the HUD 3 DB
Guys,
just a heads-up: Pason 9 "The Long way" is making rapidly progress. I´ll have it ready in a day and send it to Darren, Frans and AGSI for release with 3.10.
"Pason 9: The Long Way
A scenario for Harpoon 3 ANW 3.10 and the HUD 3
by
Ralf Koelbach
The Pason Battleset is dedicated to "Advanced Beginners" in the Harpoon world.
The complexity and thus the challenge steadily increase from scenario Pason 1 upwards.
Pason 9 is the climax and final scen in this battleset.
Here you have to deal with all conflict categories:
- ASW: conduct S&D ops in order to plough a way for your convoy
- ASuW: fight a large battle fleet vs fleet
- ASuW: pound hostile ground facilities
- AAW: defend your CVBG, your convoy and your airbases/ports against inbound aircraft and missiles
All taking place back in 1988, when the Cold War was at its peak."
Here you´ll have to fight over the whole board, with the full weapon´s arsenal. You´ll have aicraft carriers, surface action groups, convoys, all kinds of aicrafts, subs and tons of ground facilities to protect or destroy.

Hi Pooners,
next scenario will be a pure multiplayer one. [:)]
Certainly too late for HUE release, you´ll find it on Taitennek´s website.

Ralf,
You never cease to amaze me with the effort you put into scenario design and your continuing support for my work with the HUD3.
With the imminent release of HUE & H3ANW 3.10, Ralf's PASON Battleset will be the sole scenario content shipping with the HUD3 Database that accompanies the initial 3.10 release. The usual collection of "stock" scenarios from Harpoon 2 will be provided for ANW 3.9.4 and I'll be making the 3.10.0 versions of these scenarios available through TAITENNEK'S HARPOON PAGES.
I'm working on a series of scenarios myself along with continual updating of the HUD3. At present I'm spending a lot of time working on the required conversion to the latest ANW sonar system, adding new platform pics and starting the what seems like a massive task of converting as many of the Scenarios designed with either the ODB, HUD or HUD-II. Some of these scenarios date back as far as September 1995... I even have a few of Ralf's here, including these scens from the mysts of time.
Cuba.SCN - 15/10/1996
Duel.SCN - 02/08/1997
Enemy.SCN - 08/08/1997
Fortress.SCN - 02/08/1997
I'll keep everyone updated as work progresses.
Cheers
Darren

Darren,
you´re grosssly exaggerating. Thank you though, old friend, for your kind words. [&o]
Let´s go on with the good work, converting the old ones, one by one.
Pooners, if somebody should play the new scens Pason 8 and pason 9, it would be veyr nice to get a little feedback on them. Are they too easy? Challenging? Too hard? ...any feedback welcome !
