Does anyone else make a captains log for every mission?

I have a little yellow pad and I have given my crew names of friends and people in my life and assigned them to positions. As the mission progresses it's fun to say this friend manned the flak guns and talk about him. Or this friend picked up an enemy aircraft on radar at long range, bearing 019 degrees.

Every contact made, my decisions and orders made and what happened as we go along with date, time and pertenent information.

Every mission is a short story that could be worked into a book. It's a blast.

My wife keeps reminding me "It's not REAL !"

Still, the captain's log is a blast.

Anyone else do this?

I do. It gives me something to do while I wait on them to sink.

I usually type down stuff that happens during patrol, making a bit up about crew and exaggerating greatly small details. Its fun, makes it a bit more real, and keeps you from being bored to death

it is a real shame that a captians log that you could edit was not included with the game :oops:

Hell, they could have just put wordpad in there and I'd be satisfied
