Ive read in another forum that there are 'set surface' engagements in the game. And that one of them is between the Bismark and british dd's and BB's IN 1941. Is this true? :hmm:

And if so, have any of you engaged in this battle before?:D

1) Go to 'Single Missions'. You'll find it there.

2) Use any one of Rubini's later 'Harbour Traffic' mods, including the latest one, which is exclusive to Grey Wolves. He has included the Norway Invasion and Bismarck operations.

But you have to be in the right place at the right time. Use the Mission Editor to look at the SCR map.

Just a small item. Correct spelling is Bismarck.

Pretty cool to be from a State that had a Battleship named after the State Capital. And not after the state name.:rotfl:

After all I've been to two county fairs and a rodeo.:D

Hey, I got it; but then I'm from Utah, so that doesn't mean much. North Dakota is one of the few states that Utahns call "small".

You mean population wise, right? The Salt Lake City metro area is almost twice the size of our entire population. My niece/god child just graduated from U of Utah a couple of weeks ago:know: . I need to get out there again. Been a long time. Love driving into and through that Wasatch Range.:up:

On the other hand when I was making a living driving skiers to the resorts I loved telling them that as of the 2000 census we now have 2 million people...in the whole state!

Love driving into and through that Wasatch Range.:up:
It's one of the reasons I stay here. Absolutely great motorcycle country.
