Matrix Games (www.matrixgames.com)
and Advanced Gaming Systems (www.advancedgaming.biz) announced that Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval Warfare, the new multiplayer
addition to the distinguished Harpoon modern air and naval strategy
series, is scheduled for release this quarter via digital download and game on
demand from the Matrix Games online store.

Harpoon
3 Advanced Naval Warfare is the result of decades of development and fan
support, resulting in the most comprehensive, realistic, and accurate
simulation of modern combined air and naval operations available to the gaming
public.  The new Multiplayer support raises the bar for the Harpoon
series to a whole new level of immersion.!

David
Heath, Director of Operations at Matrix Games, stated, ?We are privileged to
have a chance to work on the Harpoon series and the great team at Advanced
Gaming Systems that has worked hard to bring it to a whole new level.  If
you?ve ever played or thought about playing Harpoon, this enhanced, fully
upgraded releases are a must have for your game collection!?

Harpoon
3 Advanced Naval Warfare gives you the opportunity to manage some of the
most advanced air and naval assets available in the world and puts you in the
middle of many historical and ?what if? scenarios (including six multiplayer
scenarios).  Battle Iranian Revolutionary Guard in the Persian Gulf ? or
to take the opportunity to re-live Operation El Dorado Canyon and strike at the
heart of Libya.  Try your hand at guarding the Greenland-Iceland-U.K. Gap
to stop a Soviet naval invasion of the Atlantic ? or stalk unwary U.S. shipping
in a Soviet Akula-class submarine.  The NATO versus Warsaw Pact conflict
that never came to be serves as fertile wargaming ground to provide many
chances to explore any eventuality.  You'll have the chance to play from
either side, experiencing a wide variety of challenges.

Don
Gilman, President of Advanced Gaming Systems, said, ?Harpoon 3 Advanced Naval
Warfare has been a while in the making, but we feel the result is well worth
the time spent.  We?re excited to be working with a wargame-friendly
publisher such as Matrix Games on this release and we are looking forward to
the response from strategy and wargamers around the world!? 

Your
control over your forces gives you the flexibility to manage air strike
loadouts, determining what kind of weapons to place for the aircraft's upcoming
mission.  Task force composition and layout can be determined, so specific
ships can be set to anti-air, anti-submarine, or anti-surface warfare; you can
set threat axes and guard against enemy incursions. You can even set sonar
variables for surface ships and submarines alike, commanding their crews to
sprint, drift and scan passively, sprint again, and scan with active sonar ?
all control over these aspects, and more, is completely up to you.

Harpoon
3 Advanced Naval Warfare also gives you access to other players over the
Internet, allowing two to six players plus additional spectators to be engaged
in a single game. When not shooting the seas up in multiplayer mode, a single
player mode is available allowing you to access any one of the scenarios and
fight against a savvy A.I. opponent that knows how to control and coordinate
large and small forces alike.
