Our knowledge of WWII events may lead us to play somewhat unrealistically. We sometimes put ourselves in a position to take advantage of our knowledge-be it historic events or knowledge of different tactics/equipment issues.

EXAMPLE-I was patrolling near Norway in April 1940. I worked my way up to Narvik because I knew what would take place there. I rationalized with the idea that Bdu ordered me there during the operation. Of course I knew the Warspite would be cruising thru there eventually.

I try to avoid that though. I go where ordered and take advantage of any mission orders, but sometimes, it is hard.

Just my 2 cents.
