[QUOTE="aramis erak, post: 9065876, member: 6779310"] I've only met one WW II pacific vet who was willing to talk about it openly... Greg Boyington. Most of the WW II vets I've met willing, or even wanting, to talk about it were Atlantic. My maternal grandfather was in PacFlt; BG Enterprise, from Aug '41 to end of the war, on a destroyer. He was hesitant to talk of the war until I was in NJROTC; then he opened up about it a bit. I found out, my senior year, why... he sent me a photocopy of the program from his Sonar School graduation...of the roughly 60 names, only 3 weren't on the wall at the Memorial. The 3 who were assigned to BG Enterprise. What I've gathered from researches into it (my undergrad was in Russian History) leads me to the conclusion that the cultural differences resulted in far worse views of the enemy, and the lack of visible Just ended another T2K 4e... the dice step system is nice, but I still prefer the d6-only. The dice step system really needs another step... A quick look at the sheets shows, yes, it is the d6 version. [/QUOTE]
