I am still mourning the loss of my Commander and crew! It took me six weeks to train them up by sailing X1. Then today experimenting with TC I lost them in about ten minutes!
Anyhow I definately get my kicks from X1 gaming with SH3. My new Commander (Leutnant z.S. Werner Struve) and his green crew left Wilhemshaven today (14th March 1940) at 1030. We have been sent to Norway! I have never been up there, and will head for Narvik.
I am really amazed at how GWX3 or SH3 Commander seem to send you on very relevant grids for the date. I guess we are taking part in the forthcoming preparations for the invasion of Norway.
Should reach the Southern coast of Norway in 15 hours time just after breakfast tomorrow.
I have played this game in X1 for so long now TC just does not seem as much fun.
A lot of players mourne loosing their Commander and crew in one night.
Well when you have been sailing with a Commander and his crew in real time for six weeks it really is a callamity when they are no more!
Now will take a few weeks to train up my new crew and yes over today there have been some weather changes! Getting quite windy and choppy as we head Northwards! (I am using the weather mod with March WX input and that great SH3 Commander)
Off to my bunk now after chaining 1st WO Hans to the bridge for the night!
By the way Sharkley I am watching your Commanders blog with great interest.....good job!
