A small word of warning, Harpoon has some bugs and although they are not
fatal they are irritating.  One example is the time a helicopter that was
part of the main task force ran out of fuel and crashed because I could
not order it to land??? Others have complained about the computers handling
of the automatic defense systems.  This is a game that would benefit
from another crank through the refinement cycle.

While I am on the subject there is another game which may or may not
still be available called White Death, a simulation of a Russian/German
battle in WWII, which has even bigger problems.  The interface is
lousy, you may not have workbench loaded when playing, and I can get
the game to crash reliably.  

I would like to see more stragetic games that take real advantage of the
Amiga's capabilities and if you know of any newer ones, lets hear about
it.
