RE: New Development for War In The Pacific -- MUST READ

<t> This sounds awesome! I've been sitting on the sidelines on WITP due to the many folks who seem pretty unhappy with it. So if some significat bug killing takes place I'll probably buy it.<br/>
Trouble is all my "spare" time is being absorbed by BF2, and War Plan Orange.<br/>

Thanks for the info. I was looking at Conway's reference books. I guess wifey will understand the importance of spending that kind of money. [:D]

For what it's worth. I am satisfied with the way mine warfare
is handled in UV. If there is a plan to change it in a future patch, I would hope that there will be the ability in the preferences page to keep mine warfare as it is currently.

According to "Destroyer Captain" author Tamaichi (SP?) Hara,
Maru does mean "circular", or "chubby". But it can also mean "lucky". And it is this meaning which is meant when it is used on a ship.
