Greetings:

     I recently purchased Harpoon for the Amiga and although I'm
very impressed with the capabilities, I'm having a terrible time
surviving for very long playing the NATO side in the second
scenario, the one where you try to escort the convoy.  I never
detect the sub that blasts all my ships to pieces.

     The tactics guide that came with the game is not terribly
helpful for getting beginners going.  I've tried rearranging
the escorts and choppers throughout the formation, auto-aircover,
etc., but all have the same result (blub blub blub...).  Anyone
out there had any success and can give some suggestions.  I'm
starting to get frustrated and although Harpoon seems like a
great game, it may get put back in the box forever if things
like this keep happening to me.

     Let's start a Harpoon-tactics thread in this newsgroup
so that we can all learn from each other's experiences with
this simulation.
