Bedtime reading.

[The Bellman]

An extract from my post to Subsim com. DW forum :-

' You may find some more useful articles at Harpoon HQ in the Waypoint magazines :-

http://www.harpoonhq.com/waypoint/

The JED (Journal of Electronic Defense) articles of interest :

1.Submarine Sensors come to the Surface.
2.Up periscope up Antenna
3.Pack Hunters.
4.Surface combatants are facing more lethal antiship weapons.

The appropriate permissions to reprint may be required. (?)

Heck dont add 'em all to Landlubber - think of my ink costs. '

This mag. is now defunct. Temporarily I hope.

Dig around and there are loads of interesting articles like "The Art of War' series and
many platform specific ones like the 'Oscar'

Dig in and enjoy. :cool:

Another interesting simulation for those interested in global warfare on a larger scale. This game has a nuclear option which I don't believe is available in DW, although I could be wrong because I'm a newbie. Being on such a larger scale I don't think it offers the details of actually running a platforms equipment. Still Harpoon looks like a fantastic option if you ever decide to look at something else besides DW (lol is it possible?)

Edit: Oh yeah, I have never played Harpoon... I just took a quick glimpse at it. Interesting if you liked the movie Wargames I think.
