<t> Personally I stopped reading right before the difficulties (just checking in a second and last time) because of all the one-sided HRs (and I'm not alone in this among the readers of the forum I frequent). I hope they manage to fix it up and have fun and report for those who are still reading ...

<t> Personally I think you should rerun that round after adding a HR a rule against swamping CAPs. <br/>
It'll ruin your fun if you keep on going after this round.<br/>

Perfectly realistic bombing is disallowed because it wouldn't be fun, unrealistic bombing should also be disallowed when ...

In my experience Manpower (fire) bombing is only really effective below 10,000ft.<br/>
<br/>
I really don't understand why there are any HRs about this. How were Japan's cities destroyed in reality? By B-29s coming in at night at around ...

Fire bombing can destroy industry. All other attacks can only damage.

Well then, it is the surest way to victory unless it does much less overall destruction, and going by Rader's reaction in the tech ...

<t> If Rader has held all of China for most of the game and India for a year in Sc2 he's probably got a lot of resources stockpiled in Japan... defeating him will have to be rendered against production, units or territory. <br/>

Can GJ use the navy to specifically create fires? <br/>
<br ...

Yeah, I was almost certain GJ would go ahead and do it anyway, he's consistently gone for the biggest dice around the block. Here's to luck!

<t> I think the problem here which might be addressed in any future games is that the changes made were functional rather than substantive.<br/>
<br/>
It's far less controversial in most historical games to add units and control of various territories rather than to change the mechanics, as the ...

Good job GJ, seems you're really in your element in this kind of fight!

(edited, since I noticed Greyjoy asked us to stop talking about it)

I'll just leave here that I think the problem is the HRs make functional (mechanics) rather than substantive (assets) changes.

<r> Are we really argueing whether Japanese industry would be cinders within months if the allies had Hokkaido from the start of the home isles bombing campaign as an airbase and adopted intensive firebombing as a strategy early on? The effectiveness and acceleration of allied bombing and effects ...

Greyjoy: Keep the remaining ships safe. Hokkaido must not be lost. This is fair, both sides have swamped bombers on targets.

Continue to firebomb Japan at night, historically it did an immense amount of damage.

<t> Virtually impossible might be a bit too strong, Nemo told us GJ could have destroyed his AC factory capacity in 1-3+ months with varying levels of focus, but that doesn't change the overall picture of things being stacked against an originally completely green GJ playing scenario 2 with ...

Ser Greyjoy.....perhaps you should seek out whatever bar the submariners favor. After slaying those pestilence E-type AWS vessels, I am sure you'd be most welcome and would not have to buy a beer to get quite drunk in their company. Now ...

Thanks for the info.
So Rader has a metric -ton of aircraft because GJ hasn't taken the DEI or sunk the tankers & oilers?

<r> With most of his surface navy dead, maybe you can start raiding his tankers more freely with your subs and maybe some of your longer-range surface elements?<br/>

Anyway I fully support your decision to not LRCAP the beaches, they'll be fine going by the results so far when under attack ...

The problem with any invasion is that if the enemy is there in strength then you are required to support it until it is decided. It would be incredibly risky for GJ to move his carriers away out of supporting range of his invasions, as we ...

Beppi: Thanks for the info!

Greyjoy: Do you know if he's rebuilt some of his factories or all of his factories? If the latter, then wow, you did a lot of damage.
