Default save the Bismarck!

40 years ago, the very first wargame I ever bought was an Avalon Hill game about the hunt for the Bismarck which my brother and I played for months. I have read and analysed for years the death of that battleship.

I never played that mission in SH3, but fired it up tonight initially to test the accuracy of the stadimeter.

But as soon as I saw that ship on the last day of her life and that of her 2,000 crewmen, I felt a pang in my chest and for a brief moment felt like I was back on that day in 1941...



...is'nt that why we play these sims...
