I'm looking forward to GH showing how ridiculously complicated the Japanese industry control is in this game. I've read AARs on the Matrix forums, but it still just looks like a bunch of numbers to me. HI points, R&D, engines...ecch.

Also, calling the showiest of Showboats for my lucky ship: BB USS North Carolina!

(I'm sure the AI will use it to its best advantage, and not throw it unescorted into Tokyo Bay on the first day it's deployed)

That was my lucky ship for GH's last thread, and I was hoping to have it again. :argh:

I'll claim BB USS Alabama as my lucky ship, I drive past it twice a week as it sits in Mobile Bay.

Yeah, the other recent Japan LP was Steinrokken (sp) and he was way faster than day by day. One month of the LP he was 4 months into the game and he had taken the Phillipines and gotten bogged down in Singapore but also managed to take Ceylon shortly after and was giving the Royal Navy fits.

Does the US have a lot of ships in Manila harbor? It looks like there is a green boat icon in the hex, but with the target thing over the hex it's hard to tell.

There's also a fleet heading out a hex left of Manila. Or heading in :getin:

You're wasting your breath, the next three turns of continuous shock attacks are already in Leperflesh's email.

Well he has to take Dutch Harbor somehow and if continuous shock attacks are wrong, I don't want to be right.

And I'm back! Thanks as always for covering Leper!

So, I came 28th out of 39 in the Dropzone Commander Invasion 2015 tournament. Not a bad showing as the only person I'd played before then was my brother.

So how do I celebrate? I've knocked out a Rimworld Video, three WITP updates, and a new LP

Steam and Iron - The Great War at Sea

You are a magnificently insane man. Godspeed and drat the torpedoes.

I'm beginning to wonder if the KB actually raided the right island during the opening salvo or if the Japanese pilots come back from bombing a load of pine trees with tales of totally nailing every BB in the fleet.

"The largest island is obviously the most important island. So we bombed it and the explosions were numerous and the land ran red with fire."

Sit Rep: The Japanese bombed the Big Island and caused some extra lava flows but no ships were damaged.

Would the game engine even be able to handle 15 CVs in a task force or even two smaller task forces in the same hex? I thought there were problems when the numbers got that high.

Does anything happen quickly in this game? My limited experience with it on a good PC had turns lasting quite a long time.

That's not the problem, if Grey has to run a whole month then the RNG may sink different ships and take / not take certain bases and the whole theater could look different. He might even learn from his mistakes!

Fixed, the USN kept all communications in all caps until 2013, I remember hearing about it on NPR's Marketplace of all things.
