A distraction while we wait for the patch.

Something I had forgotten from my youth, that I am glad to be recently reminded of.

The story:

My character somehow got all twisted up. I was playing the mission where you have to infiltrate the Golden Glow Estate and do multiple things. When I was out burning beehives and fighting I just eventually ran away to view my success from a distance. I first noticed it when I squated down on a tree trunk. Coot..the squatter../simHQ/2011

I'd seen the earlier movie. Not read the short story, but the films are ~ quite different.

And here's another: just read 'Hurricane', by Leo McKistry.

Great machine, great read.

I agree Heinkill, it's very well written. How about 'Spitfires, Thunderbolts and Warm Beer' by Philip D. Caine. The story of an American fighter pilot over Europe. I've just finished it after picking it up for £1.99 at a charity shop. The story of LeRoy Gover covering November 1941 to March 1944. LeRoy kept a detailed diary which the book is based around. An excellent read including a fair bit of wartime s*x. wink
