It was mentioned that there was no information on the weapon systems.  This is
true as far as the game is concerned.  However, and I realize this is not a
real defense of the game, if you want that info in a booklet form, I suggest
purchase the game that Harpoon by Three Sixty was based on.  Namely, Harpoon.
GDW makes it, and although I have only played it once or twice due to its
complexity, I find the information that comes with it more than makes up for
its $20 cost.  And, from what I understand (though I don't own it) the 1990/91
update has all the new ship classes as well as new weapons and sensors.  All in
all it is very in depth and just the thing for doing intelligence gathering
on the Soviet Oscar that is coming your way (ie. what IS the range on those
SS-N-19's?)

BTW - according to the book, they have a range of 250 nautical miles, so watch
      out!
