This assumes that Larry Bond wrote both games -- a natural assumption,
given 
that his name is on both, but in this case it is incorrect.

Incidently, if you went over to Consim-L (the wargames mailing list) and
made 
the claim that _Harpoon_ is the best widely available naval minis game
for 
either the modern or WW2 periods, they would call Fire From Heaven down
upon 
you. <g>  I guess it would all come down to what "widely available"
means, and 
I suspect that someone would comment that this makes _Risk_ the best
"wdiely 
available" wargame.
