Guilt?

My Grandfather sailed from Liverpool on Convoys......admittedly he was on an Escort Carrier and was eventually sent ashore due to injuries sustained in the combat arena....He was hiding under a table when a NAFFI Tea Ern fell on his back.

In reality it was my uncle who was given the medals for his participation in the War in the Med as an aircraft engineer on an escort carrier.

Which is why......at my age.....I watch my torps strike home and I think of those who lost their lives as the merchant bites the dust!

Its a strange feeling coz I will quite happily fly an ME 109 in Air combat Sim inthe knoweldge that its me or them,,,,,where as in SH3...once that ship is locked on.....they dont stand a chance.

As much as I enjoy this game....and it is only a game.........I still....even now.....say a silent prayer for those of my kin whom I never knew
