.....or that hot place.
ETA: Yesterday was 103F here. The hottest place in the nation. WTF? [&:]
Tuesday 96F in Fargo. And just 70 miles north here in Grand Forks 74F. Nice[8D] Yesterday made into the low sixty's. Today mid-60's. Tomorrow we are not going to see 60. And that's okay.

And a lot of rain would help.

Actually I had been alluding to the religious place sometimes obliquely referred to as hades. But I guess MP will do. Or even Chicago![:D]

So say's the weird looking bird from Hobbit-land! [:D]
'weird looking JFB bird from Hobbit-land!' I will have you know Sir! [:'(]
Sorry. In your case that would be "Weird looking (Just a fracking bird) from Hobbit-land". Thank you for the correction! [:D]
Just for the record, I'm neither (or both) a AFB or a JFB. I'm a WITP fan boy who doesn't do production (AKA-Factory Manager in The Pacific!). [:D]
RE: THE THREAD!!!

Hey Dixie, how do you like the combat system in Silent War? I've been studying the manual, and it seems relatively straightforward, but I'd like your opinion.
Once you're used to it it's a good simple system, it's fairly easy to fly through a convoy encounter quite quickly. Half a dozen dice rolls isn't too bad to sort out most contacts. Abstract enough to be quick, but detailed enough that the battles don't all feel the same.
Having said that, it's bloody frustrating when you manage to hit a 20t troopship only to see the torpedo bounce off [:@] I believe that the mechanics are pretty much the same in Steel Wolves with a slight difference in setting up the convoys.
I'm into August 1942 in my game, Spearfish is leading the charts with 53k tons of ships sunk. [8D]
Did you guys ever play AH's Submarine? It was a Steven Peek/S. Craig Taylor product (the guys who created Wooden Ships and Iron Men, Ironclads, Air Force and Wings), so it was entirely tactical with no strategic game - but it was a lot of fun!
fair winds,

That makes me think of the second grader who so upset his teacher when they were discussing animals.
The teacher held up a photo and asked "who can tell me what this is?"
The boy yelled out "It's a frickin' elephant!"
"What did you say?" demanded his teacher?
"It's A Frickin' Elephant" the boy repeated.
"Where did you learn such language?!" demanded the teacher.
"It's right there under the picture" explained the boy, puzzled at her anger.
Sure enough, when the teacher looked at the photo there was the title "African Elephant" underneath...
fair winds,
