This page is dedicated to explaining and aiding in learning of Harpoon 5th edition wargaming system.

​

Harpoon is a wargaming system focused on modern naval and air operations, made by Larry Bond and Chris Carlson. It's probably the best system out there, if you are looking for realistic simulation of modern naval combat.

​

It gives command of individual ships and aircraft, and goes into high detail on performance and capabilities of them and their systems.

​

The system can be intimidating because of this, but if you go slowly through examples here, you should be fine and find it not that complicated (ok, sometimes it will be).

​

To simplifie and ease gameplay, special flowcharts that compile rules into straightforward workflow are available on this site.

Special thanks to Peter Robbins and Claude J for all the help in testing and prmoting this.
