To all who use my scenarios:

Before you start, I want you to understand why I am writing these
scenarios. My feeling is that the people who wrote the game and
scenarios lost the general idea of what Harpoon is all about
and have changed it from a naval simulation to a game. I have attempted
to modify some of the scenarios all ready in existence as well as write 
some of my own to use as learning situation in naval warfare. My scenarios
are to be run from the blue side. You may feel at times that I have 
"stacked the deck" against the enemy, but that is the way I have been
taught, don't commit unless you have the resources to beat the enemy 
with minimum losses. If you want an exciting arcade game, my scenarios
are not for you but if you want to see what happens using different naval
vessels and aircraft I hope you will enjoy these scenarios.

I have not set any of the aircraft up in the formation editor, rather I have
left this up to you. Let me know how you like this and if you want I have
the scenario with aircraft in the formation editor that I will send to you
if you ask.

I am a life long learner so any help and comments will be greatly appreciated.
Here are my email address's please use them in the order listed as they are 
listed in the order of use.
