Just reinstalled from the CD, which is 3.7.0, so in what order do i patch up to 3.10? Do i need to install all the patches?

Welcome aboard, shipmate.

I recommend these patches as the minimum requirements:

ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/Harpoon3ANW/Harpoon3ANW-UpdateRelease-380-Inc.zip
ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/Harpoon3ANW/Harpoon3ANW-UpdateRelease-v3900DR.zip
ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/Harpoon3ANW/Harpoon3ANW-UpdateRelease-v392bComp.zip
ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/Harpoon3ANW/Harpoon3ANW-UpdateHotfix-v393.zip
ftp://ftp.matrixgames.com/pub/Harpoon3ANW/Harpoon3ANW-HotfixRelease-v394.zip

I suggest using the PlayersDB for the least number of problems.

Why install 3.80 & 3.90 if 3.92b is comprehensive? A patch sequence for TOAW III shows that comprehensive patches aren't always comprehensive... is that the case here?

That is certainly the rationale. However, I know that some folks have skipped some interim ANW patches in the past and then ended up with problems. They found that there were some files missing that they needed. See:

and

I know, because I was one of them. That's why I recommend the list of patches and their order. It is more onerous, but it is certain to get you all the files you need. You might be able to get away without using one, but I recommend the list. Better to be safe than sorry.
