Nuke Attack on Aruba

Hi,

I plan to write a historical mission which re-creates the attack on Aruba, by U-156 (type IX C) under the command of Commander Werner Hartenstein, on February 16, 1942. The attack consisted in sinking tankers and destroying oil installations. In reality, the crew of the 105 mm gun forgot to remove the water cap from the barrel, and the gun exploded when they fired the first shell, badly wounding both gunners and bringing an end to the attack on oil storage tanks.

I can create oil tanks as destroyable land units. Just don't forget to remove the water cap this time !

Are you interested in such a mission ? Answer to the poll please.
