If the server does appear to crash, chase me down at #harpgamer on the NewNetIRC network or e-mail me at sysop@tgp.net. There is a link to Java IRC client at HarpGamer

If you want to see scenarios added/removed/swapped out please e-mail me the scenarios in a single zip file to sysop@tgp.net and I'll make the changes. Make sure to tell me which database the scenarios are for!

First night back with the new server and we were able to help bring on a new player. Welcome aboard, Cpt. Aubrey.

We took the PlayersDB scenario, Power Sweep, by David Steinmeyer out for a spin to break him in. Jim used some interesting "bait and switch" tactics and we managed to exchange fire resulting in his loss of SSN Spartan before the game crashed us out. Oh, well.

Hope to see you around soon enough, Capt Aubrey.

Status: offline 		Thanks Tony for providing the server for the battle between Herman and I. I purchased and played Harpoon on a new 20mB HD Mac back in the early 90's and dreamt of the day that I could play against another human. It came to be last night and was delighted when Herman sent his subs against my subs.

Hopefully some day we'll all get to experience head-to-head play that is seamless, secure and stable. Even if that means bringing fees into the equation for a stable environment.

Thank you very much, Tony, for the sever time.

Capt. Aubrey

He dropped into the HarpGamer IRC chat room and we got a game going right away. We played Freek Scheper's Katyusha Hunt from his latest battleset, The Second Lebanese War, made with the PlayersDB.

I played the Israelis against his Iranians.

With nearly the entire region lined up against me, I had to employ stealth in order to reach my targets. I approached the Iranian border at low altitude and decided to try and fly between two radar sites. I had my AEW to give me a good aerial picture of the situation. The ingress seemed okay and I thought myself pretty smart for remaining undetected. However, I had been spotted and interceptors were on their way!

Fortunately, my aircraft weren't designated FIGHTER-bombers for nothing. They beat off eight interceptors with Sparrow and AMRAAM salvoes before continuing on to destroy the facilities surrounding Tehran and the nuclear testing plant.

A great scenario. Thanks, Freek. And thanks to Tony and HarpGamer for kindly hosting the ANW server.

Fred signed in and we played nearly 6 glorious hours. We started off with the tried and true staple of the PlayersDB, Dave Steinmeyer's Power Sweep scenario three times as an introduction. In his very first battle, Fred soon found himself with a lone SSK Kobben and up against a Victor II, Tango, and Charlie. Through dogged determination and deft handling, he managed to eke out a draw! We killed one another with our final salvo of torpedoes. Fred is certainly a commander to be reckoned with!

We then moved on to Dave's other scenario classic, Lone Wolf (also made with the PlayersDB). Even though we suffered numerous server-related crashes, we still had a good time.

Thanks to Dave for the scenario, Fred for the competition, and Tony for the server. A great way to spend a Friday night (Saturday afternoon in Aus).

I yet have to learn a few more tricks of the trade but can see that with expert assistance and offcourse a few little surprises , I can see that I will enjoy the challenges and the online companionship for quite some time.

Thanks Herman for the challenges, Dave for the scenario and Tony for letting us utilize his server.

Herman and I plan to do a modest battle tomorrow at 6am AEST (no daylight saving).. You might want to join a good three way battle...

There is no finer indicator of devotion towards this game than a man who is willing to rise at 0600 on a Sunday morning to play it.

We tried Dave Steinmeyer's classic Lone Wolf scenario (made with the PlayersDB) before moving on to Freek's own, "Suomenlinna" from his 21st Century Ocean Wars battleset (also made with the PlayersDB). We even coaxed the old fox, Freek, to play XXup 1:1 as Finland in Suomenlinna.

Thanks to Dave and Freek for their scenarios and to Tony for the use of the ANW server.

Capt.Fred dropped by and could not resist the temptation to do battle. We took Dave Steinmeyer's "Incoming Mail" scenario, made with the PlayersDB, out for a spin with me commanding the NATO convoy and Fred taking the Soviets.

Fred got off to a great start when his Charlie II unleashed a salvo of SS-N-9 Siren SSMs against my ASW screen and blew Ambuscade clear out of the water. Retribution was not far at hand. She was quickly swamped by a swarm of helicopters and nailed with a Mk46 torpedo. Soviet Naval Aviation then paid a visit and claimed one merchant, but discovered the location of my convoy. At this point, we decided to break and return to it at another time. Hopefully, by then, Fred will have totally forgotten where he found my convoy....

Thanks for a fine scenario, Dave, and thanks to Tony for the use of the server.

This time, we followed Freek Scheper's lead and tried out his Suomenlinna scenario made with the PlayersDB. Jim played the valiant Finns while I took the Soviet Red Army.

Unfortunately, due to the Missile Tracking bug, we ended up wiping out much of the Neutral shipping in the Gulf of Finland! Oh, well, I guess it is expected when you find yourself in a war zone....

Thanks to Freek for the scenario and HarpGamer for the server. Good game, Jim.

For his first MP encounter, Brandon played well. In the first round, he revealed himself early and paid the price. However, he learned quickly. We decided to play again and he got very close indeed by using all of his stealthy advantage and not firing until he saw the 'whites of my eyes'.

Thanks to Dave for the scenario and HarpGamer for the server. Good games, Brandon.

Status: offline 		Brandon showed up for a match tonight. We decided to do a bit if ASW, Sub vs. Ship, so we selected Dave Steinmeyers's Lone Wolf scenario made with the PlayersDB.

I took NATO and tried to penetrate his ASW patrols and promptly got my head handed to me. Twice!

We then switched sides and I took the Russians to act as the hunter. Turned out that I was the hunted, again. The first sign of a submarine in the area was the sound of a torpedo detonating under the keel of my corvette! Then another one blew up, only to be followed by the destruction of a frigate. Brandon was quickly devouring my entire flotilla.

Thankfully, a Mi-14 Haze arrived on the scene and quickly dipped her sonar right atop his sub. A torpedo soon followed. Even though the torpedo killed his sub, his last volley of torpedoes managed to claim one more victim.

Thanks for a great game, Brandon. Fantastic scenario, Dave, and thanks to HarpGamer for the server.

And it needs more action, get out of play people :)

Its the same with a database. For example if you were to cut and paste from Pauls Colonial Wars Database but changed the name of one of his units from say A-4j 1963 to A-4j 63 it doesn't create a new and original entry. Its still a copy, just a poor one. Thats just an example of course .

The first example was quite sufficient, but thank you for proving it, once again.

Ok, up and running, now if I can convince the old server to run again. If you have trouble, let me know, I've only tested internally, not from the Internet.

If you could delete that session, it would be great.  Looking forward to some excellent battles with the PlayersDB.

We tried Freek Scheper's "Suomenlinna" made with the PlayersDB and set the Gulf of Finland afire! MiGs and Sukhois as far as the eye could see. Clouds of Mi-8 helos carrying paratroops, too. Through great sacrifice to themselves, my brave Finns prevailed! There would be no repeat of their ignominious surrender of years past.

Every man did his duty and threw himself valiantly at the Russian invader. All of my strike planes and helos were wiped out, but only after inflicting serious damage on the Russkies. In the end, the Finns were the last men standing on the battlefield.

Thanks for a great game.

Mark has only been playing a few weeks, but he acquitted himself most professionally. We played the entire afternoon. We started off with the classic PlayersDB scenarios by Dave Steinmeyer, "Power Sweep" and "Lone Wolf". I could tell that Mark was one cool customer when I fired a volley of torpedoes at him and he just sat there! Nerves of steel, I tell ya'

We even tried out one of Freek Scheper's PlayersDB scenarios, too. Although Nordkapp has not yet been rated for ANW solitaire play, we ran it head-to-head and found it to be excellently challenging.

Many thanks for a fun afternoon, KlubMarkus, and thanks also to David and Freek for their scenarios, as well as HarpGamer for the use of their server.
