The thing is I showed a few of my sons friend BoP and not only where they impressed of the old man being a gamer(!) they loved the graphics, the planes, the lot! And they did it pretty well in sim too!! Then I asked if they were interested in wwii and they were ofcourse. When my son got his jacket stolen on school I called up his teacher and we took it from there, but the headmaster is a woman, forgett me if I sound sexistic on this - I know I work myself up sometimes on that one - but it seems so typical. The prjudices against games, "violence" and all that stuff... The little guys were cheering the idea, but the school didn't want it. I was a teacher for a cpl of years as well. Kids loved me...
Norwegian kids and boys especially struggle in midschool from 12-15. They are bored to death! Every thing a little boy could do back in the 60, 70 are killed by prohibitions because they can hurt themselves!! That's what boys are ment to do for criss sake...
