You have to get special color versions of the battlesets. Warning! Opinions follow!!! I hereby join the growing number of Harpoon users who find 360 too greedy for their own good. When I bought Harpoon last december, I was initally very happy with the realism and overlooked the horrible user interface. I especially looked foreward to the color version and cheap battlesets to renew my interest. I had hoped that they would bring the color version closer to the Mac model. Well, I waited 5 months to recieve a color version which loses even more of it's Mac interface. The movable window has dissapeared, and instead of being able to see more of the maps, I get the same views somewhat enlarged. On the positive side, the range circles are now Much more usable, but I don't think that this alone justifies the additional price. I appreciate the color ship views, but I view them as just sugar coating, as they don't really add anything to the tactics of the game. I'd just bought the MED battleset when my color harpoon copy came in. If I have to BUY a color version once again, I'll use my B/W version while I can stand it, let the color version mold away, and eventually stop using Harpoon altogether. This is really a shame for a game that held such promise...
