Finally Bought It!

Sailor Steve · 11-20-07, 06:01 PM

Well, as the title says, I finally managed to get a copy of SH4. I had been putting it off because I still can't actually set up my computer and play it, but Wal*Mart has been taking it off their shelves so I figured I'd better get one while I still could. The bad news is I missed out on getting one with the goodies, and for the same price, so I ended up with the plain-jane version.

That's okay, though. When I finally get a place of my own again (will that ever happen?) I'll be ready to set up and play it.

Welcome to the fleet, sir!

Sailor Steve · 11-20-07, 06:18 PM

Thank you, but I'm still shore-based for the time being.:rotfl:

If you need a photo/scan of the map that came as one of the goodies, send me a PM.

Welcome to the silent service Sailor Steve. A period of time ashore learning the ins and outs of the fleet boat is very normal just hope its only a short time and then you can hunt some maru soon!!

BTW I did exactly the same thing with SH3, bought it before my computer at the time could handle it so I had it there as soon as I upgraded.

PS prepare to have your socks well and truly knocked off when you load up ROW and some of the other goodies on the SH4 mod forum!

Darn Steve, I thought we were finally gonna have you playing this now....

Oh well, it's a step, right?

One step at a time. Welcome to the madness Steve!

It only gets crazier from here

Well, when I get to play with it, I'll be doing that more than actually playing it. First, I plan to pick up SH3 where I left off, and that includes my planned addition to the Ship Names lists for Commander, and a little modding of my own.

I just hope that the "U-boat Add-On" leads to a full SH4-like recreation of SH3, because I want to sail out of Kiel with that beautiful water.

And I hope there is finally some sort of SH4 Commander, because...well, just because.

Welcome to the Pacific (virtual this time

)!!!

I'm with you on the X-Pak. When the Battle of the Atlantic looks like reality for SH4 I'm going to volunteer to script about 500 convoys!

Hey, glad you finally bought, even if you can't play it at the moment. If you get a chance to play you won't regret it.

You can also get the map from here: http://www.replacementdocs.com/download.php?view.4902

Like you, my version also came with nothing and the map was all I wanted so I just downloaded it and printed it out myself.

I appreciate the offer, both of you. I actually have several real maps, including a couple of period ones. I was just upset that both versions were the same price, and I only missed getting the other one by a few weeks.

As with SH3, the game is the big deal, not the extras. Thanks again.
