+1. Obvert vs. Lowpe would be legendary!

Their last game was legendary. Props to Lowpe for sticking with the game after the accidental soviet activation in 1942.

<t> Pre-invasion bombardment is crucial for atoll invasions. The damage and disruption they cause for the defender can make all the difference in the world for the attack force. <br/>

I play as the Allies and my preference is for a a few bombardment TFs with a pair of old BBs each. <br ...

<t> It looks like you have SWPAC in good order and are pasting the Japanese at Rabaul. I don't have much advice to offer aside from keep doing what you're doing.<br/>

Looking towards your eventual CentPac drive: APAs, AKAs, and LSTs are all worth their weight in gold, particularly in CentPac ...

<t> I had the same confusion on this point when I started modding. There's a pdf manual for the scenario editor in the game files and it's got a lot of good information. <br/>

I found that whenever I work on ship classes, I need to have the manual's explanation of turrets and guns-per-turret ...

<t> If I remember correctly, the British thought the first ship had struck a mine. The other two closed in to take on survivors and were sitting ducks. <br/>

I'd say the guy had bad fortune but good luck. Almost 1500 officers and sailors were lost. <br/>

There was a sort of similar ...

<t> The Q-Ships in the Andymac ironman scenarios are evil. Anything without air cover is in serious danger. Even carriers have trouble with them. I had Enterprise launch a strike against one and it knocked down 5 SBDs with AA on top of the ones its floatplane fighters nailed. <br/>
