A Harpoon mod enables repeatable Second World War scenarios

A custom Harpoon modification provided the Second World War units and battle setup used for a large Taranto counterfactual.

Question

What did you use to simulate the 300-Swordfish Taranto attack?

Short answer

A friend's Harpoon modification that supports Second World War forces and complete battle scenarios.

Notes

The 300-Swordfish Taranto test ran in a modified version of Harpoon. A friend built the mod to add Second World War forces and assemble a full battle scenario. That setup turns a counterfactual into a repeatable simulation with stated units and conditions. It also shows how an older naval game can be adapted beyond its original era for historical experimentation.
