...just a thought...
Since this is a "game" in which we players seem to take a lot undue risk in situations as we know there isn't any consequence to our actions. Like no lives are really in your hands. Like trying to "balls" our way into enemy harbors, chock full of tangle-foot. Unless you're specifically ordered to enter through the gates of Hoelle (not), the chances of survival increase...I know what you're thinking--"where's the fun in that?"
The main premise of this Sim, for me is survival to war's end. (I've got this big book deal for my memoirs

) It's ok to gather accolades where you may early in the war, however, in the latter stages, kameraden, you'll be more concerned with CYA than tonnage.
