<t> Just to say I'm still reading this epic tale Cuttlefish and I really am enjoying it still! Yes, I did a post of guest writing for CF about a year ago. Just a newspaper article to practice my story telling skills. It was fun and I thank Cuttlefish for that opportunity. Sadly though it never ...

<t> Well it's a bit late but Happy ANZAC Day to the Aussies!<br/>

You know, in regards to the "Greatest Generation", for us it will mean something because they are our Grandparents and Parents. But to future generations? To them, World War II will just be another part of history, as alien to ...

<t> I respect Tibbits. He did his duty and that should not be held accountable. If people wish to take it out on someone, take it out on the hierachy themselves. They made the decision, Tibbits only did what he was commanded to do. <br/>

<t> I actually did read Japan only partially converted to Metric and actually kept delaying the full adoption until the U.S occupied Japan in 1945. They used their own system until then and there was disgruntlement at the full adoption. <br/>

Kind of like how it is today although I don't ...

<r> Hi there Cuttlefish,<br/>
<br/>
I thought I would just pop in and say how I've been enjoying the story and still been reading in the background. Wonderful writing my good sir! Anyway, aside from the comment, I thought I was just post this information in regards to the Hibiki. You all probably ...

Beautiful update, Cuttlefish. You really did show the reader how both sides can be innocent in times of warfare.

Vetamur,

I have been reading this and I am pleased you are willing to continue it my good sir! Do not feel disheartened, too, afterall, soon it will be like Cuttlefish's AAR, with people commenting all the time. Certainly a good read and I look forward to the next installment!

<t> Very nice updates Cuttlefish! As always, I make sure to keep reading. Anyway, it was a nice scene about the little girl sending a small package to Captain Ishii although is she a member of his family or a friend of the family? It seems a little odd how a random girl could send a package to a ...

<t> You all forget the term "Cease-Fire", that is prevalent between the two Koreas and even both Russia and Japan to this day. <br/>

Japan's ultimate success in the war depending upon Germany. If Germany remained ultimately victorious and there was no chance for an allied front, Japan would ...

Vetamur, just like Cuttlefish's "Hibiki", this is also an enjoyable AAR. And the extra details you are adding in are all the more enjoyable to read. Please keep it up, I, along with everyone else, are really enjoying it!

<t> Excellent updates once more Cuttlefish! And that certainly would be interesting to read. However, for now, the war is already providing enough interest and excitement for the reader (not for the crew, however)<br/>
<br/>
And on a last note, may I offer the veteran actress, Machiko Kyo as an ...

I, sir, am very much enjoying this spiffing tale! Do update soon, sir!

<t> Nice update Cuttlefish! You know, I did have an idea but once the war does end, do you think you will do a part on what each crewman did with their lives afterwards? That would be pretty good. Also, in regards to tactics, it wouldn't be unseemly unrealistic if you were to try not just taking ...

<t> Ah-ha, now this is some of my favourite reading and that is "romance". [;)] But, to put it in a thought, Riku and Shun's daughter would be the "Grandparents" in today's world. It really is pleasant to read and think of how that generation was, especially with the "polite" attitude on asking the ...

I sense a commission as an officer in the imperial navy coming for a certain young man.

Or a "special" mission for counting.....[;)]

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>After looking at this situation more closely in my Allied game vs. Jap AI, I think it <br/>
has to do more with distance and better targets. If I take a single ship TF too close <br/>
to an enemy airbase, it (AI) will surely devote some planes to make an attack. But <br ...

I've held onto Luzon all through the war once, but that was against the poor, lame-brained AI. I counter-attacked it at Clark Field, kicked its forces out, and it never came back.<br/>

<t> A very nice scene there, Cuttlefish. I do like how you have kept alot of the "we are invincible" belief of the Japanese in with the story. And, I did find something out. My friend in Japan did tell me that alot of the recruits, mainly the Army, at the start of the war pretty much joined up for ...
