So Edwin, when will we be able to test this out?

Obviously I want to test this AFTER the patch, when USA actually does something, hehe.

[Edwin P.]

You can test the historical events file now.

Thanks for this EP,

I intend to use your complete list

For my own '39 mod.

And,

I will be posting up some appropriate others

At some point.

[... though Joltin' Joe Dimaggio event,

Well, that's GOTTA be 75 % trigger,

At least!] :cool:

[Jim Mason]

What would be cool would be to modify it to include your grandparents or something - such as them getting drafted, being shipped overseas, etc.

Yes - there would not be a surprise or anything, but it would still be kind of neat, especially if my son was playing and I didn't tell him about it.

I will definitely have to consider this . . .

I will definitely have to consider this . . .

Now that IS truly cool idea, JM,

I'll have to do the same

For my son's game,

And mine as well. :cool:
