Not the M18, Tiger, Su85.
Not the IL2 or Stuka.
Lately the leading cause of death for me has been...familius interruptus.
"Dad where are you?"
"In here...."
"I need THING X, for POINTLESS REASON Y."
"Can it wait?"
"No I need it NOW."
Here's my favourite cause of death. I swear upon me mam's honour this is true. I've managed to cap the enemy base in Berlin, solo. I've backed my Tiger into a wrecked building overlooking the base with only my barrel sticking out. An M18 (grrrr hate those guys) comes screaming into the base and tries to recapture it. I waste him. Two other Shermans appear. I have them all lined up...
"Fred, I need your help!" comes wifey voice from upstairs.
"No, you really don't," sez I.
"Yes I do. I've lost the Google from my Chrome."
Another allied tank arrives, now there are three in range and they still don't know I'm there.
"What? Chrome is Google. You can't lose the Google from your Chrome."
"I don't like Chrome anyway. I want the other one back, the Google one."
"Which one?!"
"The one with the icon of the G. I want that one."
Arrrrrrgggggh. The counter to doom is ticking down, but the Shermans still haven't seen me. I can do this. I run upstairs, establish my wife is a lunatic, show her the 'Google one' she wants back is just Internet Explorer with the icon of the 'E' and its still there, and run back downstairs to find that the three Shermans have managed to spot me while I was away and killed me deader than dead.
Families, can't live with them....

LoL! My favorite. Got the house to my self (yes!), family, some of them, all of them or just one of them shows up at the door (full decorative glass, can see me on the computer). They stand there knocking, ringing the door bell, dogs going ape #%&*$#. How did they get home without their FREAKING KEYS!!?? And I'm flying a plane!

Ha! So true Heinkill! My wife looks on my gaming at 65 with bemused derision, and one of the many joys of village life is that someone opens so much as an email somewhere and my ping rockets to unplayable levels, and kids that haven't taken their driving tests yet when home from Uni want taking somewhere now because thy are always late. Still, it has it's compensations; kids have promised to put me in a nice home when the time comes.
