i am not a big time gamer. a few games have caught my interest over the years....actually pirates of the carribean, the first one. played it hours on end. as you could play it which ever way you liked...follow the story line or capture ships..amass wealth...trade between islands...lay siege to ports and capture island once you have a large enough fleet and army. i have just as big a soft spot for frigates and sloops as i do winged ac. i have tried a couple air combat games but always lost interest before getting halfway through because they just didnt have anything that thrilled me ( personally). saw the cover of BoP on the shelf in a store and decided "why the hell not"...it truely was my last straw. i did no research...didnt see any adds...a pure impulse buy and shot in the dark. i love this game. i dont get on every night but try to get on a couple times a week...and try to get on with the boys from the uk whenever i can. i wish the game had come out a few years earlier...or...my father had lived a few years longer. i would have bought an xbox and copy of BoP for him. my wife enen made the comment while watching me play "i think your dad would have got a kick out of this game." he was not a feable old man even up til the end and had actually messed with a few boring PC flight sims. other than the fact he would have been truely P!$$ed at how the 51s fly here...you probably would have seen him on more than me...and probably way harder to beat than me...lol. i got a long time before i hang up this game and as long as i can fine one good friend to take to the skies with i will DF ( and get my @$$ kicked )...and if i have to take the slies alone....i WILL find dks freaking sheep!
