this certainly was fantastic, ive got some screens myself of this action. I think the US would think twice about entering the war had this been real haha.

hey chris. your water looks a completely different colour to mine, is that just monitor settings?

[mr chris]

Glad you had fun Dan was great taking the fight to the U.S with you:up: :arrgh!:
Would love to see the screens you have.
Also would like to thank the devs of GW for making this game such a joy to play may it be in single player mode or hunting harbours and the high seas with others online. YOU GUYS ROCK:rock: :up: :rock: :up:

[mr chris]

I just played about with the screens with a photo programe can give you dl link to it if you want.

[DanCanovas]

just some story for those interested. We started in a channel heading into Galveston, it was not long before 2 armed patrol boats discovered us and an aircraft. after a brief exchange of fire and some minor damage I bottled and submerged to PD (the water isnt any deeper than this). Chris remained on the surface and managed to damage the aircraft and severely damage the 2 patrol boats. I could see air dropped bombs exploding all around him, eventually I decided i had a duty to my fellow Kapitan and I surfaced to help him. I finished off the 2 armed surface ships and we moved towards the harbour area.

Submerged we entered the harbour area, explosions engulfed the entire area as we let salvo after salvo, the big merchants helpless in the docked positions. surprisingly the US had no underwater capability in the area, several armed boats stood helplessly hoping that we might surface. having ran out of fish it was time to make our escape.

I was out of the harbour before chris and surfaced to find a gun boat waiting for me. After a vicious exchange of fire i managed to escape with minor damage. Waiting for chris who deicided to make nearly all the journey to me submerged. we both had damage but had dealt the US a severe blow.

Top story Dan:up: When we radioed Bdu about are great victory all we got back was "Press The Attack" :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

[DanCanovas]

haha :p

[Pants]

Outstanding game guys :up:
What other ports you guys attacked online?

[DanCanovas]

we attacked a convoy in icy waters, that was a mahor success but unfortunately Chris whilst sinking a huge number of ships, didnt make it out alive. we had a great time though and I think chris is a great guy to play with. He has given me a great first experience of SH3 online. I hope to arrange something regular with him and anyone he usually plays with

[mr chris]

I did post some of the screens of the convoy battle in the screenshot thread in the SHIII Forum if anyone wishes to check them out. I look forward to playing with dan again something regular would be ace:arrgh!: :up:

[DanCanovas]

well if saturdays 21.00 is best for you then im cool with that. I can do anytime though as I work weekends too. i dont mind a late night in pursuit of something I thoroughly enjoy :smug:

[mr chris]

Im ok for saturday's am also free most week nights. So any night is cool for me. Im always up for the hunt:arrgh!:

[DanCanovas]

ok thats quite good because my days off are during the week. they do vary however. this week for example im off wed and fri, therefore a tues or thurs night is ideal or both lol. anytime you fancy a dive give me a shout.

[mr chris]
