I prefer Wuthering Heights on Semaphore Flags. It's the romantic in me...

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.

A 20 ton troopship hardly seems to be worth the torpedo...

Either way, it looks pretty simple from here, so I'm looking forward to trying it.

Minneapolis, Minnesota?

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 Yesterday made into the low sixty's. Today mid-60's. Tomorrow we are not going to see 60. And that's okay.

Schtum? I don't recognize this word. Of which of the many languages that you speak T, did you select this gem?

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