Our headquarters should be called the Shogoonate's Imperial Headquarters.

Keeping with history, we should aim to attack The Soviets first. If not possible, strike hard and fast at The sultinate


I vote the giant lake South-West of us be called the Caspian Sea and the lake directly above it called Lake Soyokaze

What's the worst thing that could happen? Aside from Grey getting confused and relocating our best men to the middle of the pacific Pacom Ocean, our best ships to the enemy trenches and our headquarters to the moon?

I was thinking more like whacky names for things like the Battleship "She's One of Ours!" or the Gravitas Squadron, the most polite and chivalrous pilots in the sky.

We need one called The Booster Squadron. All pilots are secretly midgets using booster seats.

I've got a list of around 100+ ship names I can toss out but I doubt we'll get that many.

We definitely need something like "Unsinkable III" or "Invincible IV".

The White Flag squadron/group, Zealot Squadron (Only Kamikaze pilots), The Arbitrary Squadron (Rag-tag bunch of misfits who never follow the rules).

The Japanese had a hard time making a reliable machine gun, submachine gun and semi automatics. Anything autoloading, really, fell short of contemporaries at the time.

Their tanks were good for jungle/dense foliage conditions because they were so weak, and relied on speed on open ground. Lack of steel and other metals hurt them a lot over the course of the war.

As for ships, I've heard some mentions that they wanted to have a big fleet encounter, where battleships would be the deciding factor. The problem was that the US wasnt dumb enough to commit themselves to a large surface fleet action where aircraft carriers weren't going to be their bread and butter.

Another thing that hurt the Japanese was the fact that beating up on the Chinese wasn't much of a challenge. This led them to believe that their tankettes and light tanks were good enough against other opponents. Maneuverability in planes was praised and desired much more than speed. Both of those factors hurt them in their brief conflicts against the USSR.

divert troops from the main war to better protect our borders

We can finish up the Sultinate without needing our entire army to defeat them.

Apparently it has to be genetically related to us.

Also my idea of leaving a copy of a wargame in a room full of orphans to see which one played with it has been vetoed as well.

The wargame has to be Axis and Allies. :colbert:

I had to buy this game myself. And I have found that processing turns ALWAYS takes at least 10 minutes.

Though at least you don't spend 3 hours sorting out your freighters unlike SOME GAMES.

I assume it'll get patched eventually thanks to all the sales now that its on Steam.

And you must mean Hearts of Iron 3! :downs:
