The Germans considered the use of the Priest 105 in direct fire against bunker as "unfair", I guess it all depends on which end of the stick you are on. [:D]

Great Pics! I live in Chicago and have toured the U-505, but never a US Boat!<br/>

The contrast in quarters is very noticeable. Though not a luxury liner, she is compared to the U-505.

Ah the curse of the working class. I remember a game that had a special screen that was displayed when you pressed the "Boss coming" button. It look like a spread sheet. [:D]

Nope, the radar set is at Portland Roads, the fragment is empty - according to the unit information screen. <br/>

This was my first assumption - that the radar was too large for the shipping used, but it shows up as at the ...

That would be a Martin M-130 "China Clipper", I do believe.

Looking at the charts, the main problem i would be concerned about, again, "game-wise" is that too many aircraft might engage as a result if the radar "works" better. The "typical" NF mission tended to be small. The majority being ...

So if you like to play footloose & fancy free why do you always insist on 100% ships?

Send in the marines.

That's already the problem, there are two old china marines in the defending hex. [:D]

A torpedo wouldn't do jack. The lock gates are designed to withstand the pressure of about 500,000 tons of water and they were overbuilt for the job specifically with sabotage and other strategic considerations in mind. A torpedo detonating ...

Actually most of the players started at a very young age and have been playing until they reached the ripe old age that they are now.

<t> Actually you would not have to destroy a lock only badly damage it to delay the use of the Canal. A sub putting a couple of torpedoes into the locks would probably jam the 'doors' so badly that they would need to be replaced. To replace even one 'door' would take a considerable amount of time ...

The early 'Cruiser' tanks were known for throwing tracks, I belive the problem had been solved by the time the Crusader came on line.

I use these squadrons for Recon and Naval Search. I consider it more important to gather intelligence than launching small bombing attacks. You start out trying to defend PM, so knowing what the Japanese are up to is very important.

From my perspective if they are not gonna sorty, it is a waste of time and effort to set them to naval attack and if naval attack is the only viable mission that can be given them due to lack of ramge to reach enemy bases then it is a ...

<t> In the Swordfish (IIRC) there was (front to rear) the pilot, the Aircraft Commander, and the gunner. The A/C commander stood up in the cockpit during an attack directing the pilot and gunner. Most of the time the A/C commander was left on the carrier. It has always amused me that you have this ...
