My sister sent me this link early this morning. Haven't tried out the game yet but it looks like I could have some fun playing! http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/atlantics-navy-commander/id547138591?mt=8&ls=1

I don't want to do spoilers or tell-a-tale, but this week I did rewatch this TV series (I saw it probably 1982) and surprisingly the plot is directly Cold War related! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Nightmare_Man

If you aren't going this year, reserve your early October 2014 to come and enjoy watching or participating in some paper Harpoon as well as meet some of the faces behind forum posts.

Just a reminder that if you come to chat on IRC (please do), make sure you say something. Someone with the nickname Wolff just came through and didn't say anything and wasn't noticed a result.

1. While playing ANW against Herman Hum, he told me that there was a torpedo heading for my last submarine. I said that I'd believe it when I "heard" it. Then I got wiped out by a nuclear "Starfish". But it was still a draw. 2. Witnessing a Ka-25 helicopter help take out two submarines in "Surge into the Barents". Please, add your own.

So I normally wouldn't talk up anything AOL related but they do have a defense news site that seems to have quite a bit of original content, some of it interesting. http://harpgamer.com/harpforum/index.php?a...DE=03&id=85

So who has read Larry's new novel? I went looking for it at a local book store and it wasn't on the shelves. I'll try the Chapters chain another day.
