Got a turn finally and have run and sent it back. Will Post in the morning.

That is an excellent and realistic idea GP!

Nice thoughts Michael.

Will give that some serious thinking. The upgraded ASW platforms are PB/PG that Stanislav worked on years ago. You are correct though in that all the oldest DD convert over to ASW platforms and form the back of the Unified Coastal Command in early-43.

I have chosen to follow-up on this being a device already present and, for the IJN, have added a small actual number to reflect some benefit to having an HQ present in the hex.

I did a very mild re-write of the Circle Plans description reflecting on adding a pair of B-65 and a pair Aratami-Class Command Cruisers to the immediate pre-war build. The changes are BOLDED and ITALICISED.

BC Takao and ...

I am the most bored player on the face of the EARTH right now!

Just loaded a fresh copy of the Mod and those additions serve to really mess around with the shipyard building numbers. Should really FORCE the Japanese player to make choices throughout 1942 into early-43.

Better...

So...I think I mentioned earlier that I did some updating on the Mod. In many ways, this game is a Beta Test to see what works and what does not.

I found that since this is a CV heavy Mod, the remaining build ships are all CA-CL-CLAA and they do not draw enough expanded shipyard build points ...

Been promised turns and that SHOULD begin tonight...

...so I was told.

Their verbal "King of the Hill" leans heavily towards the female side in his home like others.

Michael KNOWS. He has spent much time with the Cochran Household.

Once AGAIN...I cannot comment to that commentary!

Gregg is nearly done with a massive business project and he has PROMISED to really pick-up the pace next week. I, for one, CANNOT WAIT!

Happy Thanksgiving Dear Readers!

I am NOT Going to ask my wife on her opinion on the above commentary!

Not often one finds a lone, crippled BB on the high seas...

I start Langley and Ely at Panama as CVE. Think they have a small 15 plane complement.
