*******************HARPOON USERS' GROUP INFORMATION*********************

The Harpoon Users' Group (HUG) is an organization whose membership 
consists of individuals interested in the computerized naval 
warfare simulation HARPOON.  The Group's primary purpose is to 
bring together Harpoon users throughout the world.  

The HUG will publish the newletter C3I (C cubed I, which stands for 
Command, Control, Communications and Intelligence) no less than four 
times per year.  C3I will feature information relating to Harpoon in 
the form of new product releases, upgrade information, naval warfare 
strategy & tactics, play tips, and other information related to the 
naval wargaming genre.  The first issue of C3I is scheduled to be 
published in late June '91.

The HUG is an organization that has been founded by and for Harpoon 
Users.  All members will have the opportunity to participate in the
HUG activities ranging from the publication of C3I to the 
organization of local-level player groups.  HUG and the Harpoon   
Scenario Warehouse BBS ( HSWBBS ) have merged together and is the
official BBS of the HUG.  Other activities being 
planned include the establishment of a Harpoon BBS network, design 
and play contests, and member polls to indicate what upgraded 
features are desired of Harpoon.

The Harpoon Users' Group has the approval of Larry Bond, the 
designer of Harpoon, and Three-Sixty Pacific, Incorporated, publishers 
of Harpoon.  The groups' activities will be not-for-profit.  All dues 
will be applied to publication and operating expenses.

Dues of $15.00 per year will provide members a one year
subscription to C3I.  Dues paying members will also be eligible to 
participate in other HUG activities throughout the year as they 
happen.  

The Harpoon Users' Group was initially founded by members of the War 
& Strategy Section of the Gamers' Forum on the Compuserve 
Information Service.  While group activities and discussion take 
place regularly on Compuserve, the HUG is in no way affliated with 
the Compuserve Infomation Service.  Membership to Compuserve, while 
encouraged, is not required to be a member of the HUG.  To become a 
member of Compuserve please contact the HUG at the address below.
