I've read posts about using real stopwatches but looking at the prices for authentic ones I thought I might have to give that a miss. Shame.

I remember when I played WW2 flight sims and contemplated wearing a flight hat, also playing Total War dressing up as whatever period I happen to be playing...crazy???
