Born in 72.
Grandson of a Pacific Theater Marine.
As a kid is spent my summer days zig zagging through the sand dunes on the Oregon coast dodging bullets on "Iwo".
In my early teens i was drawn to the politics of the ETO probably more because culturally i could identify better with europeans. The Battle of Britain has always fascinated me. The scenes of sacrifice and bravery of the British people never fails to move me. Christian people huddled together, suffering, but refusing to lose faith.
Now that i'm in my 30's i'm learning about the Pacific peoples more and more. I'm just now starting to gain an understanding of the political climate in Japan that led to war and it's no less fascinating and enlightening.
As for gaming, i'm still always drawn to the Eastern theater. I just know it better and therefore the ability to immerse myself is more complete.
