I mostly play real time, sure it takes forever, but I wanted to get the feel of what it was like.
I love watching the waves on the bow of the boat, and the sounds of the sea, no better way to fall asleep, but on those nights at 3 in the morning, when you get woken by our crew sighting an enemy warship, it can get really hairy, and the DC's can keep you on your toes.
I have the game set to my real local time, and the surround sound in my office is set at a level I can hear what's going on most of the time.
Just starting over from 19 August 1939, so this is really going to be a long war....
