For me, i purchased the game off amazon on a whim about a month ago. Being a former OTC member, my interest in WW2 was always on the land campaigns and i researched the Spanish Civil War quite a lot too.
What i have found is that merely playing the game, as another poster says above, forces you to take an interest and learn about the era, the boats, the weapons etc etc. For me it has opened up a whole new area of history that excites me and every patrol forces me to go and look up another set of situations to discover if it would really have happened that way, or why what happened did.
For example, tonight i have been looking up how many depth charges a V class destroyer carried, and hoping its not many more than the 6 he's thrown at me!
