I owned it and I do remember one of the friends I played with at the time was super stoked to play it - because he was a HUGE fan of Harpoon! (He ended up joining the navy after high school).timhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09928949644765765070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842444167716958422.post-41672987259828178812017-06-15T20:51:00.675-07:002017-06-15T20:51:00.675-07:00Oh and that last battle in Romania - I would say i...Oh and that last battle in Romania - I would say it would make a good miniatures battle but not one that would last long - 144 Soviets and two T-72 tanks against 29 partisans and a few characters - more like a massacre than a fight Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666582426963550863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842444167716958422.post-37319304772500740482017-06-15T20:45:09.001-07:002017-06-15T20:45:09.001-07:00I also never bought into this being the last subma...I also never bought into this being the last submarine the USN had - maybe the last fast attack sub on the East Coast - ok I can buy that - but all the boomers are gone, all the PACFLT boats, etc..? No way on earth especially the boomers. And the war winning idea is to give Vlad the Impaler's long lost descendant a few crates of weapons and take on Soviet tank divisions that still have fuel? How about a few TLAM-N's saying "goodbye Ploesti!" (which is what my GM came up with)<br />And I also agree with Matt on the crew - if the UBF can get a crew together to run the sub then its pretty obvious the USN can put most of a full crew together - there is no way with that few men that the sub would have sailed - especially if it really was the only sub they had left Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00666582426963550863noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7842444167716958422.post-14226131487987374112017-06-15T18:31:59.398-07:002017-06-15T18:31:59.398-07:00Agree with Grimace, and I'll add this: there w...Agree with Grimace, and I'll add this: there would have been more than a skeleton crew. You'd think that at Norfolk )or Little Creek, which is more likely given Norfolk Naval Shipyard took a 500 KT weapon....) there would be sailors from disabled subs that could help form a crew, and not just enough to maintain watches. Finding a hundred or so sailors with sub experience would not be that difficult, even in T2K. <br /><br />And more realistically, this would not have been the Last Submarine. There would be more out there, and one reason I never did buy into the wholesale decimation of the USN as depicted in the backstory.

That's just how I felt. So much potential that just fell by the wayside.<br />Grimacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09543990340544876722noreply@blogger.com
