I've run the game several times where I had no battleships sunk at Pearl Harbor. It's typical to have one sunk and a couple others in the 90s for damage, I would say. The rest of them damaged at lesser levels along with various CA/CL and auxiliary ships.

I thought the reason that the British offer of ships to be used during the final operations of the war was refused was due to lack of range and capability compared to the Essex class carriers which would cause them to be more of a hindrance then a benefit.

"So if I understand you the japanese can only capture shipyards, hvy ind and not a/c factories. Bummer on the army a/c. So taking Seattle for the Boeing plant would not help any huh. Drat"

You could bomb it in the game if it makes you feel better. :)

ABDA forces were an example of multi-national units early in the war. I haven't heard about any restrictions of British/Commonwealth/American ships working together, except for the natural geographic differences of our forces locations.

I agree that the Med would make a great theatre for a UV style game. The only problem I can forsee is that I think 95% of ships will be sunk by land based air from one side or the other, making it less of a naval game and more of air power...which wont be much fun for the Axis player.

If a plane was produced in any kind of significant numbers, you can presume it will be included in the game.

If it isn't, just add it with the editor.

This was a design decision made to add playability for the Japanese player. As Mogami pointed out, it can be easily altered in with the editor.

<t>I am speculating, but I would say that ship conversions will also be speeded up because they go into the same ship building queue as ships under normal production. This is accessed in the same ship availability information screen as it does now, but that may be changed. <br/>

False, if he were an Army Commander he should have been a Field Marshall, not a General...is that right, or does a FM command an Army Group?
