Ditto My favorite sub stories are the S-38 in Lingayen Gulf, Dec 22, 1941 and the S-44 sinking the Kako.
In my PTO sub games, I always start in Manila and try to get to the Philippine landing beaches before the Japs can! I did it once in Silent Service, and got trapped in the bay! They were kinda pissed that I hit two transports.

That's probably my biggest wish- a dynamic campaign where, if we get in the right place at the right time, we score the jackpot! Like, maybe I get my S boat to Lingayen Gulf before the invasion fleet, or catch Shokaku on her return from striking Java. I loved leafing through my two volume set of "Silent Victory" to figure out where the nearest "big catch" was in my area on my patrol date.
