<r> Hi!<br/>
<br/>
Could Germany have won World War II? I think it depends upon how you define "victory." If Germany's objective was to merely ensure German dominance over all of Europe <I><s>[i]</s>except<e>[/i]</e></I> the Soviet Union then I think the answer would be an easy "yes;" however, it ...

"Fleet submarine" was a U.S. Navy term, referring to submarines which were originally intended to deploy with and in direct support of the main battle fleet across the Pacific Ocean. They were to be used as hidden, advance scouts to report the location of enemy fleets, and to ...

Hi!

Could there have been a "critical hit" or some such (e.g., hit the ammo dump?)

FWIW, I don't think there's any question that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were devastated by the nuclear attacks, and were pretty much knocked out of the war. The following quotes are from "The Atomic Bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki," by the U.S. Army's "Manhattan Engineering ...

The way I was thinking about it, docks represent investments in maritime infrastructure, technology, tactics, techniques, procedures, and expertise, while barracks represent the same for land warfare.<br/>

It is true that "marines" were distinct from army troops in Great ...

I'm glad to have been of help. If anyone wonders where the "75/25" split came from, it's based on the percentage of Royal Marines on ships (generally 15% prior to 1810; 20% afterwards), with a small bonus thrown in for role in the suppression of mutiny: high quality marines ...

<r> Hi!<br/>
<br/>
Here are some initial thoughts:<br/>
<br/>
1) Historical detail -<br/>
- I would ask that the historical detail for any one unit be limited to what it did historically and/or what it has done in the current game.<br/>
- I would ask that all the historical information be ...

<r> Hi!<br/>

During this time period navies generally relied on the merchant marine or "on-the-job" training in the navy to produce highly trained seamen, while naval infantry ("marines") were trained in barracks and stationed wherever the navy needed them. Officers generally started as ...

<r>Hi!<br/>
<br/>
I have had one problem with this approach: the game does not appear to zero out TF contents when merging TFs, so when you merge all the TFs the now-deleted TFs still "remember" their original contents, load orders, etc.<br/>
<br/>
For example:<br/>
<br/>
1) Use Leo's method to load ...

<r>Hi!<br/>
<br/>
As far as I can tell, the game is still easily confused when loading multiple transport TFs.<br/>

For example, if you disband Transport TF "5" in one base, and then create a new Transport TF "5" in a different base, the game carries some of the attributes of the old TF (like ...
