...i read about this gam makes me want to watch pearl harbour and the thin red line!!!

when i actually get this game thats what ill be doing!!

does anyone else do this? have movies playing in the background while playing the games? based on the games?

e.g medal of honor + Saving Private ryan!!

I would think that you would want to watch the movies first, before the game arrives.

Then, when you actually have the game you could, I dunno, play the game?

[:D]

I watch movies while waiting for turn resolution. But, I mostly do Honey-do's during turn resolution. Makes for a Happier GF.

Sadly, I have played Highway to the Reich whilst A Bridge Too Far has been showing on the TV...

Its fantastic. Midway is not so bad either.

But Pearl Harbor is a POS!!!!

True story.. went to Newfoundland on Vacation with the wife in '91.. go if you can its beautiful... Ice burgs, whales, largest moose I ever saw... etc etc... anyway.. the generation growing up when we where there was the first to have.. electricity, paved roads, reliable phones..that was on the western shore.. eastern has St. Johns.. I think thats it .. surely they had all this earlier...
So being from Scotland is not any reason to not have seen Tora Tora Tora..... dvd and vhs.. probably beta too if thats your thing... but really how old are u ?? ok.. I'll even tell first, I'm 42 ur is it 43? [:D] no 41.. thats right
has anyone seen my marbles, I knew I had them here when I started reading this thread....

Andy do you read? If you do there are some great books over on Spooky's site and I am sure others here could give you other titles about WW2. Movies are great but all are of in their History at some point.

not on the pacific war, no

i usally read about ww1 and european war (ww2) i plan on going to university taking history...so heres hoping!![:'(]

One very good Documovie that you can pick up online is Victory at Sea. it has actual combat footage, a sound track that cannot be beat and is pretty darned honest with it's assesments and figures. It is riviting.

Makes "Pearl Harbor" look like a high school play

But pearl harbor had one pilot fly in battle of Britan, Pearl Harbor and the Doolittle raid.. it at least gets my vote for movies that stretch credibility..[:D]

Not to mention Tora Tora Tora is actually a history based movie nto liek Pearl Harbor. It was a Pacific version of a Yank in the RAF. Not bad Cinema but a bad war movie.
