A bit of background behind screenshots: these aren't actually just campaign shots, but set pieces that I developed to recreate scenes from my ongoing War in the Pacific game against Egan. You can read my AAR of it here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=190296 and Egan's side of the same game (which I can't read until the game ends) here: http://www.subsim.com/radioroom/showthread.php?t=190204 )
