Harpoon 4 Rule Changes

ESM and Air Refuel

By Larry Bond

Harpoon 4 ESM Rule Change

This is a minor change to section 4.3 ESM. It involves the maximum unducted ESM line of sight (LOS). The adjustment is a result of the work done for the SSI’s computer H 4 . The mods are as follows:

In the text of section 4.3 change the multipliers for the different ESM generations:

    1st Gen: 1.15 instead of 1.20
    2nd Gen: 1.25 instead of 1.35
    3rd Gen: 1.35 instead of 1.50

The page replaces page 4-6 in the Harpoon 4 rules book. You can photocopy this page and tape it over the existing one or use a photocopier with two-sided capability to make a replacement page.

Harpoon 4 Air Refuel Notation

In a continuing effort to create more work for the players, Andy Doty has come up with a better notation system for showing the capabilities of planes capable of inflight refueling.

For receiving aircraft;
Y/D = Yes Drogue.
Y/B = Yes Boom.

For giving aircraft;
Y/2D = Yes, two Drogues
Y/B = Yes, one Boom
