Is this a computer game or a hex and counter game or a miniature game?

So to set some things straight that I see in the comments here...

This is *just* the rules that cover the years on the cover. Like the rest of the products, after this, you have to purchase the Data Annexes which have the actual unit data separate. Which right now cover the ships and aircraft of the USSR/Russia and the USA across 4 separate books. All told you can get all 5 for a little less than $100.

Some people are balking at this price point and that it's not a complete game. They have a point, in that you're not buying a game at all, but into a system that you keep adding to over time. You can go to the website for the entire system (which with some system changes covers late 19th century to now in terms of naval warfare across a lot of products) here: http://www.admiraltytrilogy.com/index.php

You can also purchase the Naval Sitrep products which will often include units and scenarios and other content you can plug directly into the system that seem to be released about...See more

I'm interested in modern asian conflicts between Japan, South Korea and China. Are rules for those navys available? (I only see USA and Russia here). And if yes, where can I find them?

Is there a plan to release this as a real game, boxed with the annexes?

I have been thoroughly enjoying getting back into Harpoon with this release!

Is there a summation anywhere of the changes made in the October 2 updates of the rules and current supplements?

Same question about latest Jan 2021 update... Is there an errata available for main rulebook & us/russian navy/aircraft books? I really don't want to print any of them in full again....

Ok, answering myself, I should have googled more... Erratas are here http://www.admiraltytrilogy.com/gamesupport.php (this should be highlighted on respective product pages in my opinion).

I never played any Harpoon games but this new release seems to be a good place to start. i was just wondering if it was limited to naval engagements or if it was possible to make land based scenarios with only ground and air units ?

I had Harpoon II many years ago. I was looking forward to getting this latest version and learning about modern ship warfare. I was seriously disappointed to find that the Harpoon V book contains NONE of the actual data that is needed to play the game. No data on ships, airplanes, or weapons. Those all have to be purchased separately. What a ripoff! You lost this customer.

Boy, lost are the years when Harpoon III gave you both the rules and the platform data for multiple nations.

The fact that "full cardboard wargames can run you significantly more for a game that just covers a single war or single engagement" means nothing, since other kind of wargames, too, are available on the market (like Flying Colors). "Computer games have an even higher cost!" Seriously? Has anyone looked up for how much you can get computer Harpoon these days - with multiplayer and all the mods and scenarios created by the community in years?

Sorry, no joy for me. I may download the free quickstart rules but I really doubt that I'll fork the $$$s for the rest.

Thank you ATG for all the effort on Harpoon V. Such a worthwhile study of the modern tactical environment.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
