[comp.sys.mac.games] Harpoon GIUK strategy

I have recently found a very easy way to win at Harpoon in one of the scenario
in the GIUK scenario.  At the scenario where you have to recapture Iceland with
your battlegroup that consist of the Nimitz CVN and the VLS Tico CG, all you
have to do is to ferry your entire inventory of bombers and attackers (A-6
Intruders, and F/A-18 Hornets) and probably a wing of jamming aircrafts
(Prowlers) to the nearby base.  From there you can refuel and arm yourself with
Standoff weapons and anti-radar missiles to destroy the base at Iceland.  This
way, I found out, is the most effective way in completing this scenario, since
it takes minimal time, thus the submarine threat is at minimal.  Also the
Russians have a tougher time to discover your exact position.
