WOW! That sounds great [&o]

<t> Thanks for all the hard work, this game looks awesome!<br/>
<br/>
I was just wondering if you can tell us anything about the game editor if any. I like to play "what-if" scenarios with both sides and this would really scratch an itch.<br/>
<br/>
Looking forward to spending many hours on this ...

<r> Although about a dozen english speaking females participated, including a Canadian, the most famous "Tokyo Rose" was Iva Toguri D'Aquino who was an American citizen! She tried to return to the US after the war, was arrested for treason, spent 6 years or so in jail and lived out her life in ...

It looks like a Nakajima engine, I would guess it's a E8N1-DAVE float plane.

HISTORY<br/>
<br/>
The Queens did not use escorts. They cruised at 29-30 knots, which was sufficiently fast that a sub had a near-nil chance of developing a target solution in the time between ...

<t> IMO Japan got into the Imperialism game with regards to Asia 100 years too late. If they had started "colonizing" at the same time as the US, Spain, the Dutch, Germany and France, no one would have cared because they were all doing it. It doesn't make what Japan later did right, but I can see ...

<t> Maybe the British carriers pointed to the future of carrier designs. The mid-war Jap Taiho CV class had armored decks as did the newer US Essex Class CVs.<br/>
At the battle of Midway where 4 jap fleet carriers were set ablaze and sunk with relatively few bomb hits (about 2-3 bombs per carrier ...

<r> You can also get the "steamless" version of HOI2 Complete which includes the main game and two expansions from Gamersgate ( <URL url="http://www.gamersgate.com/DDB-HOI2COMP/hearts-of-iron-2-complete-bundle"><LINK_TEXT text="http://www.gamersgate.com/DDB-HOI2COMP/ ... ete-bundle">http://www ...

<r> The F4U was an outstanding fighter-bomber. IMO, why have dedicated bombers and fighters when one plane can do it all. It was a good dogfighter with four cannons or six machine guns and also carried bombs and rockets. The F/A-18s serving on modern carriers takes this concept of a multirole ...

<t> Some war quotes that stick in my head:<br/>
<br/>
Except For Ending Slavery, Fascism, Nazism and Communism, War Has Never Solved Anything.<br/>

Paraphrase from a Jap sailor watching a sea battle: "It's the devil inside that makes us enjoy watching it, but we hate it when it happens to ...

<t> I vacationed with my wife in Charleston several years ago. The Yorktown was an Essex Class carrier and it was HUGE. The hanger deck shows off various aircraft and even a Mercury space capsule when I was there. My wife didn't like walking throughout all the ship for hours hehe, but I did go on ...

<t> The risk KB took or did not take at PH was Nagumo's decision. Yamamoto expected to lose 2 carriers and Yamaguchi would have scuttled two carriers if they ran out of fuel (ref. Shattered Sword). So when you say it was too risky to hang around PH, you really mean, "Nagumo was too cautious (I would ...

<r> The real question is does this happen <I><s>[i]</s>every <e>[/i]</e></I> raid? A sample size of one does not make for good statistics. I am a little amused by the hysteria when KB spent more than one day at PH even though they had a refueling TF and plenty of ammo. I've read that now some ...

<r> I saw two A-10s at an airshow once. Their agility and speed astounded me. Of course the whole plane was built <I><s>[i]</s>around<e>[/i]</e></I> the 30 mm GAU-8/A Avenger Gatling gun pictured below <SM sm="sterb003.gif">[sm=sterb003.gif]</SM> There has been talk of retiring this pre-fly-by-wire ...

<t> In the game I'm playing against the allied AI, it's early March 42 and I've laid siege to Singapore. I've moved in all the artillery I had in the area and am bombarding daily. Each bombardment causes about 1000 allied casualties, so I think I need to do this for another week or two before ...

<r> Don't forget Charlie Chaplin in "The Great Dictator", starring Hynkel, Napaloni, Garbitsch, and Herring among others. Too bad Chaplin was banned from the US for performing cunnilingus or was it because he was red?<br/>

<r> Fog of War maybe [:D]<br/>
<br/>
I think they are flying so low so that the AA can't target them since they can't track so low. They would have had to pop up to a 100' maybe to launch their torps. The B25 also did pre-radar nap-of-the-earth flying for their skip bombing. I like the B25s fitted ...

<t> Two "eyewitness" notes:<br/>
<br/>
1. My father-in-law, who served in the Royal Navy in WWII was patrolling off Gibraltor when a US ship collided with his. He claims it was due to "American drunkenness" hehe. He's still alive and kicking god bless.<br/>
2. I served as a deckhand in the ...

I've had this happen to me also. I thought it might have been related to task force size (eg 25) but you only had 10 ships in the TF. Maybe it's related to the Leadership level of the TF commander? VADM Pierce is sorely lacking in leadership, maybe he had his map upside down [:D]
