Have a nice day, regards,

Heard about this one. Must be a great book. I´ll look for it.


Dr Vego is a professor at the US Naval War College. He has written several books, including Soviet Naval Tactics, on naval strategy which make great reading as a background to Harpoon. More recently I have seen a few articles from him at Armed Forces Journal. I exchanged some emails with him a few years ago when researching something for Harpoon, so he's approachable too.

Harold is working with us on bringing some of his scenarios to ANW v3.10.  We are looking for folks to help in the project for named credit and some other swag.  You only have to buy the e-book and then you can join the team.  Even newbies can help with all aspects of building a "SGR BattleSet"

Contact me for further info.

A quick question, how can we get my copy in e-book format? Tried google just to find the link for a paperback.

Hi Don,

Where did you get the ebook from? Jumped on thinking I'd grab it for my kindle but The Amazon link is a paperback and doesn't appear to be a kindle edition. Google-fu got me nowhere either. Is there anywhere else we can buy it?

Anyways think its great your supporting Harold's work. What a guy!

Don,

would be great if there´s an E-Book. I have searched the net for it, but didn´t find anything. Got the paperback version and am on page 20 or so. Really good reading. Strongly recommended.

Yes, it would be great if there's an e-book which has an i/f to iPhone!

BR,

Sorry I can't be of further help.
