prosecute enemy contacts.  Missions are more than just patrols.  They

can  also  be  modified  as  the  tactical  situation  changes  during  a

scenario.  There are four types of missions:  Transit, Strike, Area, and

Reconnaissance Missions. The Mission pull-down menu allows you to

add, move, and delete reference points. It also allows you to create

and edit missions. Since many missions require reference points,

placing reference points will be discussed first.

Reference Points can be placed anywhere on the map.  Besides the

obvious use in marking a particular location, Reference Points play

an important role in mission planning.  Use the Add Reference

Point  selection  from  the  Mission  pull-down  menu  to  add  a

Reference Point to the map.  Once Add Reference Point is selected

the mouse cursor will change to a pointer finger.  Place the cursor

where you want the Reference point to appear and click once.

Reference Points may also be added using a hot key.  Consult the

Harpoon II  Command Card for information about the hot keys.

If the reference point is selected by clicking on it once it will

change into a small triangle with a dot inside.  The triangle is

used to designate Reference Points that have been selected.

More than one Reference Point can be selected at the same

time by using the drag-select method or by clicking on each

point individually.

Reference Points are numbered in the order in which they are

placed on the map.  The name of the Reference Point will

appear with a data block name of “Ref X” where “X” is the

number of the Reference Point. Reference Points can  be

renamed by selecting the Reference Point and using a hot key.

It will bring up the Rename Reference Point dialog box. You can

enter a name up to four characters long, and it will rename the

last reference point you have selected. Consult the Harpoon

II Command Card for information about the hot keys.

Reference Points can also be moved to another location.

Select the Reference Point you want to move and then click

on the Move Reference Point selection from the Mission pull-
