<t> One that I don't believe anyone has mentioned,<br/>
"A Piece of Cake" The BBC miniseries about the RAF at the beginning of the war. Mini series is right up there with"Band of Brothers" in my opinion. The book is even better.<br/>
<br/>
My best:<br/>
Band of Brothers 1A<br/>

I was just thinking, what about a SIM based on something like ootp19?<br/>

Far out idea but what the heck<br/>

My oldest son is 17, almost 18.

I can't beleive that 100yrs ago he may have been one of the numbers on the map.

AMAZING, what we owe those brave kids!

You can either act as the "Air Commander" and manage from the map over-head view, or jump into one of the airframes [:)]<br/>

Thanks for the responses!

<t> Let me start off by admitting, I am not the smartest cat around.<br/>
<br/>
I bought War in the Pacific in May, and immediately had issues running it and I could not play. The on screen text is not readable.<br/>
<br/>
Now I didn't realize that "Admiral Edition" was a totally separate game ...

Are there multiple licenses when purchasing the game?

My son and I enjoy playing strategy games head to head or better yet team up vs the AI. Would I need to purchase two copies?

Thanks

<r> No. I was quite disappointed in that. <br/>
I thought Falcon 4.0 was very good, but it lacked the "personal" touch of being a pilot in a squadran rather then just any one of a dozen pilots fighting a war.<br/>

<t> Thanks for the suggestions!<br/>

Falcon 3.0 was the first game I played this way. <br/>
It was the first game I played in which your AI buddies were more then just cannon fodder.<br/>

You could set up a mission and then lawn dart on takeoff and your wingmen would continue the ...

<t> I'm asking the matrix community if there is a game that is right for me.<br/>

I'm reminded of old Falcon 3.0 <br/>
Your squadran had pilots with 3 ratings, dogfighting, bombing and basic flying skill.&nbsp; AI squadmates improved over time.&nbsp; If you had 2 good winmen and managed to keep them alive for several missions you became and ...

Is the pdf manual available for d/l?
I'm sitting on the fence as to whether or not I am going to buy the game, and the manual will probably tell me all I need to know to make my decision.

<t> I am debating buying the game.<br/>
one thing I am curious about is the pilots. It says there are thousands of pilots names in the database. Are they names only? or do they have different skill levels or skill sets (eg some are great tactitions, others great dogfighters, others have great ...

Perhaps I missed it, but I can't beleive no one has mentioned "A piece of cake"
Best. Miniseries. EVER!
