hello gentlemen

I want to reintroduce myself, felt I did a poor job on my profile. My forum name is willycube, my name is Bill but my son always calls me willy unless he needs something then it's dad. about ten years ago he started calling me willycube, have never asked why out of fear of what he means calling me willycube.

I am retired, quite old, but love gaming all of my life. I am still a beta tester for Matrix's World in Flames, one of the finest board war games ever made IMHO, it was introduced to be put into computer terms in 2006. I became involved in 2009 as a beta tester. The game was released in Nov 2013, with no AI and no PBEM, strictly solitaire, which is actually playable in solitaire but gets a little boring after awhile.

Due to health I have stopped helping but keep an eye on it now and then.
I believe the game is too complicated with rules to put on a computer.

I live near Philadelphia Penna., in the community of Drexel hill, my sons went to Villanova Univ.

I joned the 101st Airborne in 1960 even though I am not happy about heights, go figure, LOL. Just missed Vietnam thank the lord. Looking forward to playing SH3 if it ever gets here, coming by Conestoga wagon I think.

Had it many years ago but gave it to my son, appreciate the warm welcome from posters, thank you.

Willy

Welcome to Subsim William / Bill.

Great introduction as well. You are in good company with your liking simulations. If you are just starting to play Silent Hunter 3, there are a great number of modifications for it that will greatly enhance your enjoyment of the game and the gameplay itself. Add on's for SH3 include GWX 3.0 gold, LSH, NYGM among others that essentially make it a whole different game.

You can look through the forums here for Information or ask any of the other members. We will be happy to answer any questions you might have.

Enjoy your time here and thank you for your service as well.
