Personally I think the fellow that panned DOS BOAT is, well, a bit strong.
DAS BOOT run excellently under 2.0 and on my A3000.  The graphics are nice
(certainly far and above Silent Service) and there seems to be enough in
the strategy department to keep me interested for a while.  To me, it takes
nice advantage of the Amiga.  The sound is excellent and the graphics are
excellent as well.

It also installs on the Hard disk!
