  I'm curious about how Harpoon handles ships moving over land, etc.

  I was playing the NATO commander in one of the Med battleset scenarios. At
one point one of my task forces was passing by an island, and the game started
telling me about certain ships that had run aground. It didn't seem to damage
them at all, but I changed course to clear the island anyway. 

  HOWEVER, later in the game I watched a Syrian missle boat group steam right
across Cyprus to get at some of my boats!!! What gives???
