Being able to Google shit better than your clients is a legit career skill.

The Iwo Jima battle fascinates me. Especially how B-29 operations were being carried out from its airfields while the island was still being cleared.

Yes, I agree with you, it is a fascinating battle, and one of the few pacific battles that I have read much about; the other being Okinawa, the naval aspect of which is incredible in term of the way logistics were handled - the USN did an outstanding job.

It is fascinating, but not really something I'd want to game.

If I could buy a Gremlin in good condition for $1879 now I'd do it in a heartbeat. Same goes for an AMC Pacer, Mustang 2, Datsun B210 (hatchback or Honeybee), and especially any Pinto with that Ford of Germany V-6. Those may have been crappy little cars but they got my friends and me around back when we were teens and early 20-somethings. Toyotas and Subarus were there too but they were a step up.

Those cars bring back memories.  I took driver's education in a Pinto.  My best friend in HS had a Datsun B210 from the mid-70s.  I dated a girl who had a Mustang 2.

I’ve spent half my life’s earning on wargames, women, and drink. The rest I wasted.
