Completed my first career patrol!

Hurrah! Even with all the activity I managed to squeeze a patrol this weekend. Horsa is right, this is a very interesting game. It has a real Aces feel to it. I have not replayed the patrol to see how dynamic it is but I was surprised by the campaign, it had a good feel to it. Playing against ships bearing sails and with no ASDIC or radar adds a whole different dimension. If the game had crew voices, it would make a world of difference.

A buddy came over and we fired up Aces on the Subsim Retro Machine and Shells of Fury next to it on the desktop machine... you think you remember Aces as some great cutting edge game but Shells of Fury overshadows it on a side by side comparison. If SH3 and 4 had never come along, SOF would have been screamingly popular.
