Cool. Thanks! <:-)
Gotta check this out. But as these things get computerised, (like the Pattons Best software) I kinda feel less immersed. The anticipation of the die roll, looking at the table, recording the stats makes me sweat than reading computerised text.
Thanks - looking forward to checking the game out over lunch tomorrow.
Naming crew after real-life personal friends and family really adds immersion.
However, after your sixth mission when your ordnance detonates in the bomb bay and destroys the entire B-17 with everyone KIA it's not that great.
