Also there are enough space for GUI and Interface improvements with Classic Harpoon - so i will see which of them find their way to HCCE .

However, the thing is that one has got to really want to master the UI and the game. Generally, a UI should not interpose itself as an obstacle between the player and the game. But that's what you get with a one of a kind niche game. It is pretty much "take it or leave it". That's why I am interested to see what HCCE will be. I never owned an early renditions of Harpoon on either of the two family trees. Now, I have two versions on the H2/H3 Branch. Waiting to see how the Classic Branch will be.

Status: offline 		I will get HCE because I need a new computer and I will go ahead and swallow Vista along with it and HCE is supposed to run on Vista. I have been running HANW on win98se with the usual problems. I am sure I will find new ones with HCE on Vista.

The new screenshots look nice - it will remain to be seen if all the scenarios play in a reasonable fashion. They don't really on HANW. All the same, there is nothing like Harpoon unless someone does something with the bones of Fleet Command, which was a very limited platform though fun to play.

Both HCE and ANW work fine on Vista, I've run HC on Vista since the betas of Vista and have run ANW on it since the release candidates of Vista.

Status: offline 		Yes I will buy it. Why? Because its Harpoon. I still have Harpoon 97 and my old Amiga version, plus the board game.

Being used to the ANW interface, I actually like it, but the updated interface of HCCE will make getting up to speed a little easier.
