I had my little girl (8 years) old watch me last night, while I was being attacked by 2 DD and she asked me why I dont surface and take out those 2 DD.

I told her nicely that those pesky DD are much more powerful on the surface then my little U-Boat. Then she watched me for a little while and got bored and went upstairs.

My 9 year old just rolls her eyes and says "Daddy is playing submarines again! He's always playing submarines!"

Har!!! Great thread. I've often thought of the possibilty of playing SH3 with my child (conceived, but only in my mind

It took me 26 years to get into subs. But then,..I had no one to guide me.

Hey TARJAk , my 15 & 17 year old daughters give me the eye roll too , and so does my wife . Usually if I'm still play'n past 3am

The famous wife eye roll, usually followed by the 'you're not playing that stupid game again, are you?', the 'you spend more time on that stupid game than with me' and the 'I'm going to bed, see you in the morning'.
Explaining to a nine year old? I'll take that over explaining to a twenty-something year old every time!

Wife doesn't bother me at all. I could be out drinking with the guys......

That's what a friend of mine said when his wife complained that, like their father, they had taken up miniatures wargaming. He replied "At least it keeps them off the streets."
