In a positive development I was able to put back Operation Dauntless so it is possible to reason with insanity.

I need more time and more bookshelves...and perhaps Operation Dauntlless too.

Operation Dauntless is more of a way of life than a game.

Target For Today is on my table. I'm trying to get through the manual...not that it's hard to get through, it's hard to find time. This overseas project I'm working on means my hours are totally screwy across the board. Yesterday I was able to sit down for almost a solid hour and got through several pages of it. Very happy to see the game is essentially B-17 Queen Of The Skies on super-steroids, so the flow is the same, which will make it a bit easier to get through, I'm hoping.

Anyone interested in joining a B-17 crew once I'm ready to get started?

Yes, those of you that joined the Outpost Gamma crew...I've had issues with the files. I've tried to recover them off my old work laptop but it's not working. I'm still looking for backup files...I need time to go through my external hard drives to double check them. Since something on TfT would mean just photos I don't need my work laptop nor Photoshop to do something with that.

I hadn't planned on doing a review but I might as well considering I covered similar titles. I guess Brant won't complain too much to have more content. ;D

JD do you have B-17: QotS?

As for tail gunner, it's all yours - just remind me when the time comes. I'm sure I'll forget, that's the way my brain rolls.  :-\

I do - but I'll likely not go back to it as I now have TfT  :buck2:

^ Exactly my thought as well. There's just too many detailed (e.g. awesome) elements to TfT. Not that B17 QotS is bad or lacking, but this is next-level stuff.

I imagine it'll be a target-rich environment like B-17 QotS. B-29 tried to alleviate that but it became more of a navigation sim than a bomber sim. I still need to review my thoughts on its expansion, Hell Over Korea.

I recall house ruling the multi-part navigation, in the original B-29 (Japan) set, down to one roll.  It was a quick and dirty fix, and needed to be ironed out, but something like that was needed to keep the interesting bits flowing.

The Hell Over Korea expansion looks like it improves some of the less enjoyable parts, along with making it more deadly.  I got the impression that the Korea expansion is where B-29 hits it's stride although I've not yet played it either.  So many games stacked up on the "to do" list.  :-"
