<t>The WWII history book I have is an Armed Forces Service edition published in 1945. I guess it's not too much of a stretch of the imagination to assume that there might be some erroneous information written about the war, but I would expect historical sources that were written closer to when ...

<r>The history book I have which refers to the sinking of the Ryukaku, speaks of it as the "big new Jap flat top Ryukaku" sinking with all 1800 men aboard. Since the Shoho was just a CVL with no superstructure, I still can't conceive of the idea that US pilots couldn't tell the difference between a ...

Most of guys here (when playing the ...

Let's see, what do I have for you here ... AH! A game of checkers! And especially for you, a board that only has 16 squares - and they're all the same color so that you don't get ...

<r>I gave the game a fair chance to become playable, despite the unfriendly interface and too many mouse clicks. I sailed a Task Force comprised of Destroyers and Troop Transports to try and reinforce Gili Gili. There were several Jap Sub Icons between me and Gili Gili. After identifying the sub ...

<t>I wish I wouldn't have paid to rush this over cluttered monstrosity via UPS. I couldn't stand the game engine of Twelve O'clock High Bombing The Reich by Talonsoft. Had I known that Grigsby was going to go that route again, I would have avoided this completely. Uncommon Valor has a very similar ...
