I am in the process of playing the training scenario for Harpoon the commanders edition. I have already downloaded both of the patches. The quote from the training scenario specs (once the contact is established) is "For this battle we will use missiles, so choose "Missile Attack" and then click the Okay button." The missile attack option is grayed out, so there is no way to choose missile attack. Now what? Respond to carlmanzana@yahoo.com

At the risk of stating the obvious, are you sure you've got the proper group selected? If you can't find anything obvious wrong, then probably the next step is to get a save game that reproduces the problem and send it off to Tony with a request for help.

I don't have Harpoon at work :( but I've given it a try now that I'm at home. See the attached screenshot.

I found the enemy group using my helicopters at medium altitude with radar blaring.
I got within Harpoon range
I clicked my surface group then Attack then selected the Red group.
Dialog appears with Missiles as a choice.
Fire away

Thank you for taking the time to address the issue.

In the training scenario walkthrough please look at 3.5 - Launching Missiles. "When the enemy is detected, select your sub group in the group window. Now click on the attack button on the top of the screen. The select Enemy target dialog apppears. In this case there is only one enemy, so click the OK button. The sub vs ship attack dialog now appears. For this battle we will use missiles, so choose Missile Attack and click the Okay button."
When I do this the missile option is grayed out. The training scenario up till this point doesnt say a word about the surface group or helicopters radar blaring or otherwise. Please advise. The training scenario stipulates that the subs attack, not the surface group.
