I consider the sale price to be fair for a bundle of classics like this (this cannot be said about the regular price of course, that one is crazy). It’s a price comparable to old games from GOG for example. And I’ve zero interest in multiplayer.

Anyway.. I digress, let’s not get into pricing discussions. I got the game and it’s fine, even if just for occasional encounters.

My experience has been that scenarios from Harpoon were great for the time and work well with Harpoon, but feel very barebones in Command.



Harpoon my love - the one and only... - till CMANO [;)]


I'm sure the GUIK and NACV battlesets are pretty perfect for recyling as CMO DLCs. And i'm sure that many "old" Harpooners would like to see such DLCs.


When CMANO was released i was really disappointed not to find Cold War Atlantic stuff from the 80s.


So guys : Northern Inferno was nice - now we need Northern Inferno II located in the mid 80s

How about Northern Fury while reading the Northern Fury H-Hour book? ;)
I'm disappointed as well that these battlesets won't show up in CMO... they would make such a great DLC... for now they are just available and preserved in Harpoon. That's why I got the Ultimate Edition.

I've tried transferring a couple Harpoon scenarios into CMANO (CMO) but just as I found when I was designing Harpoon scenarios for the original games - Harpoon had some major limits, which left the scenarios pretty basic and without depth.

The GIUK & NACV battlesets are certainly a spiritual predecessor for Northern Fury, I hope that my CMANO/CMO scenarios give a much more rounded play experience than the Harpoon scenarios did. Great for their time, but time has moved on.

I've got all the old games but cannot remember when I fired them up last... not in a decade anyway.

Where to begin? Using Harpoons ScenEdit and trying to remake the same within CMO? Won't I get any problems reg. IP stuff? Something reminds me that this has been a big issue in Harpoon back then (not knowing exactly what it was about... databases I believe?)
