Absolute best PC game for Naval War simulation is Harpoon by Larry Bond produced by Matrix games.

Been around a long time...but the latest two incarnations are:

Harpoon Commanders Edition (latest dirivitive of the original Haproon Classic)

Harpoon Advanced Naval Warfare (latest dirivitive of Haproon III)

Both are bundeled in package called:

Harpoon Ultimate Edition at Matrix Games

It's a technical game, but also a lot of fun and I would recommend it for anyone who is serious about naval warfare. These products allow you to operate at the individual vessel level all the way to Theater wide engagements. Many, many sceanrios, plus a scenario editor for each, and a data base editor to allow you to develop and input weapons systems either that are new, or on the drawing boards. I used it in my books series:

DRAGON'S FURY
World war against America and the West

I used Harpoon to model many of the naval engagements there.

The Harpoon classic edition was also used by the Naval War College to train officers because it was so realistic and well developed.

Bump. I loved Harpoon I but haven’t played it in years.

I recommend Harpoon, also. Much fun. I always liked playing with the military symbols, instead of the stylized ones . . . .

Larry Bond modeled the Iceland battles for Tom Clancy’s Red Storm Rising using Harpoon. It is worth noting that Larry Bond is credited as a co-writer of that book, though you could easily miss that from looking at the Amazon page.

Sounds0 like a good read. My fav was Red Storm Rising. The Russian Front game from AH was one of my favs.

Cool. I had Harpoon a couple of computer generations ago, didn’t know they’ finally updated it. Will have to look that up.

I liked to go nuclear, round 1, wave 1.
