Is the reason the KB starts at full fuel due to AI issues?

I remember there was a scenario where Japan gets a lot of goodies to make playing against them a bigger challenge. What exactly do they get again?

And for shits and giggles, here's the american roster... :twisted:
They of course start with Lexington, Saratoga and Enterprise, but thats nothing whatsoever compared to what is to come.

32 additional CVs and CVLs



And 62 CVEs





How do you access this screen? I'm trying to find out what bullshit the Japanese get in the ironman scenario.

Good luck with Singapore. In Steinnroken's game that turned into Sinyang for him.

He wasn't restricted by memories of a honeymoon.

It was the preferred target of the targetting committee: http://www.dannen.com/decision/targets.html

edit - The repeated reference to "the gadget" :smith:

So I know Kokura was diverted due to weather but what made them attack Nagasaki instead of Niigata or Yokohama?

Was it ever found out why CAP would always fail to protect the CVE's last game and why the AI would keep attacking Eniweitok?

Well, besides as a mass execution.

Is anyone planning to set up a new wiki?

Is the last wiki going to be updated? The events stop being recorded after mid-1943.

Out of curiosity, why hasn't the Ogoonu saga been archived yet? Can it be archived?

EDIT: After going through the ships list, to whoever has Shimakaze, the 1920 version is listed as an APD so it should be easy to determine the different Shimakaze's.

'42 Shimakaze also looks like the perfect pirate ship at least for raiding. 40 knots and 15 torpedo tubes would be devastating. Not sure if the cargo cargo capacity is good enough to haul loot though.

I was really excited when it looked like the Repulse almost sank the Kaga last LP.

Also, IIRC you couldn't move the Chinese soldiers off the mainland as the Allies. Is that restriction true for the Japanese as well? As in you can't move Japanese soldiers from the Chinese Theater already committed.

It also says the West Virginia was sunk by bomb so I doubt it was sunk.

PT-41 also had MacArthur on board too. I think something like this also happened in the allied game too.

The Wikipedia article is a decent starting point and briefly touches on Malkin's revisionism. If you want to discuss it, find a more suitable place than this thread and I'll talk with you there.

Somebody name a British warship from this period and I'll see if I can dig up some interesting tidbits about it.

Does it have to be WWII only? If not, the HMS Orion,
