This game is very much like a busmans holiday for me.
I work as a civil engineer on roads and major excavations and spend a lot of my time working out angles, chords and tangents. I hated trigonometry as a kid and really wasn't much good at it. Then on my first job after college I spent 5 months sitting in an office on a building site converting endless lists of grid co-ordinates down into whole circle bearings and distances relative to the co-ordinated points we had on site. Mind numbingly boring but it certainly improved my grasp of trigonometry and geometry
Dont know why I spend all day bitchin' about having to do this stuff for work and then when the kids are in bed jump on to the computer and do it for fun:hmm:
Maybe because in GWX land if theres a loud bang, a plume of smoke and a mushroom cloud of fire it means I've done something right whereas at work the same result means I'm very, very wrong
