I don't appreciate David Adams' comments - but this is a game and you don't have to fill in the details like tanker ships, patrol patterns, etc. And for the record I do know something about submarine patrol patterns. All of which is moot - there's no point in arguing about a dead game and obsolete module. Apparently Loren at GDW felt it was accurate, otherwise he would have had me change it. When you write in a shared universe, you play by their rules and I remember a lot of them around this game system. (Somewhere around here I have my notes from GDW - the "Bible" for the game.) <br /><br />Then again, this was written decades ago. I never envisioned it much as a miniatures session. I may have to dust it off and re-read this puppy. bpardoe870https://www.blogger.com/profile/10623499377401169695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842444167716958422.post-66657580678850319922017-08-25T19:27:55.207-07:002017-08-25T19:27:55.207-07:00well you didnt talk about the biggest issue with t...well you didnt talk about the biggest issue with the module - that the author knew nothing about naval combat - and somehow had six Soviet destroyers cross the entire Pacific when their fuel reserves were just about gone - and what was the Virginia doing patrolling that far into Mexican waters given the state of the other ships in the task force? And having the USN literally have no ships still active on the Pacific Coast - none - whereas the Soviets apparently can still operate off the Mexican coast?

A good meteorologist (of which MilGov probably has a few) can use the data to determine how bad things may get, and see which areas may suffer less, or are unaffected. <br /><br />Nice work, Jason! Well done as usual.
