Harpoon began as Larry Bond's tabletop naval wargame

What is Harpoon?

It is Larry Bond's tabletop naval wargame adapted into a computer simulation with strong systems but aging software.

Harpoon began as a tabletop naval wargame designed by Larry Bond and was later adapted into a computer game. Its systems remain useful for constructing naval scenarios because they provide a structured representation of forces and engagements. Aging software now makes the game difficult to run on current hardware, exposing the practical problem of preserving older analytical simulations.
