What if I DON'T WANT TO play Harpoon? It's real time, and my gaming time is such that turn based games are better for me. Additionally, I prefer to play againsty other humans. And, the existing engine from UV can be modified. Also, there are other options, such as the engine being used for Fleet Europa, or a new one.

I'd like see a modern game using the UV/WiTP engine, maybe including North Alantic 86, Falklands, and the Med. My understanding is 2B3 games only makes WWII era games.
There hasn't been a good modern naval type game sense the orginal Harpoon, and I don't think we'll every see Harpoon IV. The only thing Harpoon II proved was you can't make a game using AutoCAD.

I think it would be a lot easier to use the UV engine on a MED game than adapting it to modern warfare. My vote falls strongly on the MED camp.

Haha... exactly. Call me shallow, but I can't be bothered to play the game that looks THAT ugly.

Have you tried Avalon Hill's Fifth Fleet computer game? While it is somewhat dated now, it's actually not half bad ...

I would love to see a modern game based on NA '86 or any other appropriate scenario, much more so than any WW II game, but I understand the reality of the situation is that it probably wouldn't sell enough to be feasible ...

I have heard that as Matrix has been working with SimCan, they have the rights to their Modern Naval games, and have some very indeffinate plans to redo them. While I'll play the WWII games, I can't wait for SOMEONE to do a modern turn based game. I bet it would sell better than you think....
