Harpoon: Battleset 4 – Indian Ocean / Persian Gulf

From the back of the box

Escalating conflicts in the Persian Gulf, friction between Pakistan and India in the Arabian Sea, the coveted passageways through the Red Seas, gulf of Aden, and Straits of Malacca -- all have combined to make the Indian Ocean and its associated waterways the focal point of modern naval warfare.

As the situation unfolds int eh Indian Ocean / Persian Gulf Battleset, tensions are mounting. The precious oil resources of the Persian Gulf are in danger of falling into the hands of madmen. The naval forces as your command are the only safeguard against global economic collapse and the destruction of freedom in the region.

Though the Series: Harpoon (Clash of Arms Games) of boardgames shares the title and is listed in the Adapted from Board Game, Boardgame is not a theme for this game. Both the boardgame and the videogame try to mimic naval warfare as realistic as possible within their own medium. As such, both are basically Adapted from Reality.
Do not expect to play the boardgame. This game is a (real time) simulation, not a boardgame.
