First of all, I have to say that this is one overpriced game. I mean, the amount of detail is great, but there's too many problems with it for them to expect $40+ (and $15 more for color? Give me a break!) Other than the terrible interface, constant crashes, and inflated price, it's a great game. I'll probably bite the bullet and get the other battle sets. Anyway, I was wondering if anyone has actually managed to win scenario 8 or 12 in the GIUK module (playing the NATO side). These are the ones where you (NATO) command a submarine task force to attack Soviet bases and subs. In scenario 8, I managed to wipe out the surface units, then got what subs I still had to launch points near the coast. I launched 24 Tomahawks and over 15 Harpoons at the 2 bases closest to the shore, but not a single one made it to their target! In scenario 12, the furthest I got was when I had 1 Imp. Los Angeles class sub left (yeah, I should have given up on this one) and had a Typhoon cornered. Well, I suddenly hear the sound of a Nuke going off, with a message saying since they used them, I now have Nuclear Release. Great... So, can somone give me some pointers? Also, is there any way to have a ASW plane patrol a certain area for subs? When I send them out, they just reach the spot and sit there. I want them to actively search an area. Thanks in advance. - John
