So after owning this game for around 8 years and tinkering with it now and again, studying all the occult lore which isn't covered in the manual (just about everything) I've decided to crack on with a campaign against the AI.

Yes, the AI, I'm simply not skilled enough to take on one of you ...

NGT 8.25 is now posted.

@BlackSnack - if there's an error, it should now tell you the specifics. I think it's because your file path is changed from the default. Go to MAIN MENU > OPTIONS > DATA LOCATION and press READ THE DEFAULT AGAIN. Let me know if that works.


Thanks, this sub assign issue ...

when speaking of economy---all the main Axis powers had the same critical weakness when it comes to the modern/mechanized/air war that WW2 was going to be- a lack of easily accessible oil that was near infinite for the purposes of waging war.

The USA alone could effectively power the entire ...

We've got 52 titles on the list. One down, 51 to go. What would you like to see ?? The whole war from 1931-1945 might be a bit too ambitious. But global war at 40nm/hex seems theoretically possible.



War in the Pacific, will send money now if I can order.

Napoleonic Wars

US Civil War ...

We have to remember, that Japan had started to industrialize only 50 years before WW II started.

So, while often brilliant, their science & engineering lacked massive manpower.


This is accurate, but not completely true. Japan had the world's highest literacy rate in 1938. Education was ...

Kōji Sakai would be a good option for the IJA mechanized faction commanders.

Kamikawa Marus need more reserve space, 12+6=18 is historically accurate.


The 12 operational planes is an abstraction to what they could operate during a 12/24h period and underway.
They only had 2 catapults compared to the CS Chioydas that had 4, but in addition to the 12-16 planes on deck they ...

Thank you!

Kure 134(134) and Yokosuka 95(95) NavSY, should be 0 non damaged?

Also need to damage some MerSY after dropping the CVEs.

1128 seems to be long in the making, little worried you are building on top of that.

Yes, unfortunately no dates for the Admiralty IX refloating.

Anyone ever seen E-M charts for Ki-100?

This represents an aircraft's specific excess power and is directly proportional to the potential climb rate (or sink rate) of the aircraft or equivalently its net energy generation (or loss).

Note however that this can apply during any kind of maneuver ...

Short Survey of Japanese Radar

https://analysis.williamdoneil.com/Hist ... kinson.pdf

Yes, but the ARMY Junta was the government and the ARMY had little interest in the pursuit of radar technology. If you somehow address this issue, THEN yes, IJN could easily have moved forward with radar MUCH sooner than historical. I'm not sure they could have kept pace with the Brits, but ...

In other words, with some German help and better direction from the higher levels of command these issues could have been resolved much sooner.


Yes, although the biggest issue in my mind was that the Military Junta in control (Army based) did not believe radar was necessary.

This is the ...

I remember reading that it was a May 1942 that Japanese salvage teams started refloating the Admiralty IX Floating Dock in Singapore and it took months.
Cant find it now and naturally can remember wrong.

If someone knows, please share!

Here it is going down in 45, it is positioned just in front of ...

In comparison, Ki-83 has a service rating of 4 but I have a feeling that is going to go up.

Nobody has ever explained why in the real world Ki-100 beat the Ki-84 but it never does in the game.

Even from a game balance (hilarious as that is with Japan against US, China, British Empire and the USSR) point of view the Japanese player has to research the whole Ki-61 line and throw resources ...
