Why play a U-boat sim?

04-19-06, 02:22 PM

I don't really consider myself a gamer at all. I like the equipment. I play a 3-D airwar game with friends; we play with model airplanes on stands in a local hobby shop. Why? Because it lets me imagine being a pilot in WWI, WWII, Korea, Viet Nam and later, and lets me talk to my friends while I try to kill them.

I've been working for years on my own WWI naval game, simply because I like the period and I like pushing model ships around the table.

So I play SHIII because it lets me imagine being a WWII submarine captain. I say 'submarine' rather than 'u-boat' because I'm fascinated by them all, and am looking forward to SHIV. Even when it's out, though, I'll still drive my u-boats.
