AGSI developers of Computer Harpoon and H3 MilSim

Advanced Gaming Systems Inc (AGSI) provides desktop naval/air simulation software for entertainment and professional users.  Our H3 MilSim product has been used around the world for analysis, training and education.

Our commercial product line Harpoon is more than a computer naval game … it’s a true naval warfare simulation. The Harpoon products allow you to simulate air/sub/surface and power projection, at a tactical-operational scale, using hundreds of pre-built scenarios or your own custom resources.

Harpoon is the premier modern naval warfare simulation. It grew out of the Harpoon board game designed by Larry Bond in the 1980s, the one used by author Tom Clancy in writing The Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising.

Harpoon is available in four different forms, including Larry Bond’s Harpoon Classic Edition (HCE), Harpoon Advanced Naval Warfare (ANW) , H3MilSim and Harpoon 3 for the Mac (H3Mac)..  All of the products are based on Larry Bond's and Chris Carlson's table top miniatures rules, Harpoon as used by Tom Clancy in The Hunt for Red October and Red Storm Rising.

HCE, ANW, and H3Mac are available to hobbyists, while H3MilSim is a simulator for naval warfare professionals.

The Computer Harpoon Products - the Premier Naval Sims:

H3 MilSim embodies the latest in naval warfare simulations for analysis, education and training. Among the new features are programmable mission behaviors, a new mission type allowing for boarding of ships by helicopter simulating special operations. Users may simulate situation taken from today’s headlines, such as fighting Somali pirates or interdicting drug runners who use submersibles.  Customization is available, and both the databases and scenarios are open for end-user editing. AGSI has former Defense experts available to assist in training, configuration, design and execution.  For more information go to http://www.h3milsim.com

A dedicated Mac OSX version of ANW is also available, H3 Mac. This is version 3.6.2, and does not have any editors available.  This product was updated by Jesse Spears in the late 1990's from the Three Sixty Harpoon II product.  It was the basis of the Harpoon 3 ANW product.

As of November 2010 the following products, and most of their prior editions, are only available as a bundle, Harpoon Ultimate Edition, from Matrix Games.

For those who may find ANW a little overwhelming, there’s HCE. Not quite as complex as ANW, HCE puts the player in the position of a fleet commander making life and death decisions on the high seas. There are 269 scenarios spanning a time frame from 1989 to 2008 with a database of more than 2,900 ships, aircraft, helicopters and submarines. GamersInfo.net says of HCE, “… fans of naval warfare are going to be hard-pressed to find a better expenditure of funds.” This product is the descendant of the original 1989 Harpoon products, but updated in many ways as sold by Three Sixty Pacific.

Harpoon 3 ANW is the commercial version of H3MilSim.  Here players may undertake a number of different missions involving naval, air and submarine forces of various countries. The conflicts vary from actual engagements to hypothetical confrontations, such as World War III, China-Taiwan, or a spat between Third World countries; to historical confrontations such as the Falklands, Desert Storm, or Somali Piracy. These are all packaged into seven Battlesets with more than 120 pre-built scenarios ready for single- or multi-player action. There are also eight separate tutorials instructing the player step-by-step on everything from navigation, use of sensors, to combat. Features include single-player action, multi-player capability for up to six players via the Internet, scenario editors, and the ability to VCR record and playback games.  This product includes both scenario and database editors so players can roll their own. Version 3.10 includes encrypted databases, boarding actions, and programmable mission behaviors configured for civlian use.  This product is a derivative and expanded from the Three Sixty Harpoon II product of 1995
