First review of Subsim Almanac

[Onkel Neal]

The first review of our book! (http://www.strategypage.com/bookreviews/313.asp) Not exactly in-depth analysis, but at least Google News picked it up :D

[Konovalov]

Interesting and good news that it is out there. :yep:

This has just reminded me that I haven't even ordered my copy yet. :oops: Now where did I put my credit card? Will order today and save it for my long haul flight back to Sydney, Australia in March. Having to deal with almost 24 hours stuck on a plane I think I'll need some good old Subsim comfort. Note that's not to be confused with Southern Comfort. :lol:

[baggygreen]

tho im sure that, too would be appreciated!

[Konovalov]

Not if you are the keg on legs, Boonie. 52 is the magic number. 52 cans of beer that is. David Boon. Now there is a man that knows how to get through a long haul flight between England and Australia. :lol: :lol: Legend. Dead-set legend. :yep:

Edit:
Read this yarn for a laugh on the events that allegedly transpired on the plane: http://beebo.org/smackerels/david-boon.html

It’s also become a gathering place for people interested in submarines, among them gamers, naval buffs, historians, veterans, and more, an odd community made possible by the cyber age.

Are we odd? :88)

I havnt even recieved my copy yet paid for it nearly a month ago :(

[Onkel Neal]

Kapitan, did you get my e-mail Sunday? I sent it out to all who preordered the book. The publication date slipped a few weeks (lessons I learned from game devs, lol), mainly because I hired a professional proofreader company to go through the book a final time and weed out any remaining typos. I really didn't want the book to go to print with any errors. We've come this far, I wanted to add a little last minute quality.

thanks for your patience.:up:

..it’s sometimes difficult distinguishing the fiction—or fictionalized—material from the non-fiction..

Hey, this is the unofficial motto of the subsim forums! :rotfl:

Anyway, i think the guy who wrote that review was shocked about the fact that it exists a community of this size, with the interest that we have. Nothing wrong with that, but IMHO im looking forward to a more realistic and focused review, that knows how to appreciate a good read! :rock::up:

Jesus Christ Seth, you scared the living Jesus out of me. It would be horible beyond belief.

It's nice SubSim is getting some attention!

:lol: I've heard about these little things but I suspect that they are only on sale in Australia. I'm not too sure if my wife would be impressed by a talking David Boon doll. :oops:

[Kapitan]

I didnt get the email but its ok as long as its all good.

[Onkel Neal]

I noticed, the reviewer said

There’s some personal reminiscences, game theory, fiction, humor, history, letters, technoporn, anecdotes, and more,

Technoporn?? WTH is he talking about? :rotfl:

Ah well, the quality of web reviewers :roll:

[ASWnut101]

That was a short review. No wonder the Reviewer gave only intitials of his name.

Dial H for hitman.:cool:
