RE: The Immense Pleasure of Huge Wargames

<t> I second the motion for CNA. I managed to get through five turns of that monster in my pre-pc days, and I look at it as one of my finest gaming achievements. The logistics lend themselve to a computer model not to mention the A2A combat (which took days in itself to resolve). Probably will never ...

RE: "Pacific Crucible" Book - Thoughts?

<t> I just finished this book and found it to be a very enjoyable read. I think that Toll's primary strength is bringing out the viewpoints, thoughts and feelings of those on the scene of these oft describe combats. I was interested to note that Alan Zimm (whose book on Pearl Habor caused some ...

RE: Next quiz

USS Seraph was better know as HMS Seraph. She was actually a British sub used in special ops (i.e. operation Mincemeat, etc) but briefly served under US colors and a US captain on one of her missions.

RE: Attack on Pearl Harbor, new book

<t> I have no problems with a spirited debate over the concepts advanced in Dr. Zimms book. I have found Nikademus to be one of the most knowledge posters on these forums while I find Dr. Zimm's arguements well documented and compelling. I would like to see their discussions continue along more ...
