Actually, there are two new battlesets out now.  According to a friend at
360, the Med battleset was finished on Friday and should be shipping today.

But you mean NACV, North Atlantic Convoys.  SOme of the scenarios are
similar, but there are more of them and new ships and weapons (Sea Lance
and Mk50 torpedos come to mine, as well as the $2 billion Sea Wolf).

I'd get it, if I were you.  My only complaint about it (not including bugs,
of course) is that a number of the scenarios are long; they involve getting
ships from Boston to Southampton.

If anybody finds a bug in Harpoon, please mail it to me.  Please include
a description, the scenario, and what you were doing.  My address follows...
