GDW's ASW Forms

Booklet

by G. Lane

This is the third in GDW's series of form booklets, It includes not only many smaller ASW ships (DDs, FFs, and PCs), but the SSBNs that would be a prime target of the attack subs. The booklet starts off with an ASW scenario generator. The scenario generator allows quick scenario construction foran evening's gaming. Possible locations include the Atlantic, Indian Ocean, Pacific, Baltic, Mediterranean, and the Arctic. An interesting scenario was generated in 15 minutes with just a few die rolls.

The ship forms have been updated to include the latest data that will be coming out in the revised Data Annex. Half the forms included are for ships and subs that did not appear in the original game. Forms included cover 2 helicopters, 16 ships, 7 SSN and SSKs and 7 SSBNs. Sweden and Japan have ships and subs included for the first time.

The book also includes several play aids for use with Harpoon and an index to all the data forms in Ship Forms, Sub Forms, and ASW Forms. This book would be a useful addition to any Harpoon player's collection.
