I like hexes too.

So did my ex... I still haven't shaken the one she put on me twenty years ago! [;)]

Way off topic, and a bad joke, but a buddy of mine had one of the best bumperstickers I've ever seen. After a nasty divorce, "I still miss my ex-wife...but my aim is getting better".

I talked to one of the Harpoon guys at Origins - unfortunately we didn't have time to get "down in the weeds" - but we did broach this topic - and I was a bit surprised as it sounded like he was saying Harpoon was discrete...

I think I read somewhere that the original Harpoon used an 18" minimum scale - might have been in one of the manuals that came with it, but which I no longer have.

Actually that makes sense. It explains how Harpoon feels to the player like continuous, but still to the developer is discrete. Not sure 18" scale will work for WITP sized game though.

what is it you want? the whole Pacific ant 100 yards/hex scale?....why not ask for a linking game and add the Atlantic as well.....and platoon sized Inf. units...and.......well you get the picture. Do you have any remote idea of how the game would have to be redesigned to work in a smaller scale? I think that the 40 mile hex's are the right size for the game without having to redo or create a new game. For that matter do you have any idea what would be involved with a game on the Pacific war at 2o miles/hex? Get some sleep and think about what you are saying here.

Yeah...I remember and even bought it but it was not a real winner and did not sell well as I recall.
