<t> Let me begin by saying there was some truth in Japanese propaganda: seems USS Pennsylvania was lost in the savage fighting of the first couple of days - she just didn't sink right away. She made Pearl Harbor, but was unable to dock, burning furiously, and flooding out at the same time. She is ...

<t> First of all, the idea to include torpedo ordnance at land bases was long proposed by Mifune. He observed that land based air units armed with torpedoes often flew with bombs - even when instructed to use torpedoes. This turns out to be related to how code allocates torpedoes. I finally looked ...

<t> RHS has greatly increased the detail in the Philippines. There are more locations, more units,<br/>
more ships and more industries to manage. A long defense means more units have time to<br/>
form up, and more local supplies will be generated - in both cases in hexes the enemy is NOT in.<br ...

<r> This ship, along with USS Isabel, and one other small vessel, is described in RADM Vince Trolly's book, <br/>
The Cruise of the Lanokai. He publishes copies of the written order (declassified) to Adm King to<br/>
create a small force of recon vessels. He says they had a still more secret ...

<t> Rather famous for minor vessels - she made the only actual sailing of the "three small vessels" ordered to<br/>
seek out the IJN in Dec, 1941 - I was surprised to see her armament misrepresented in the database. Only<br/>
half her "heavy" (3 inch) guns are shown - the AA - not the longer ...

<t> Turns out Cobra didn't do a G7M1 art version for RHS before - we simply used Betty art.<br/>
<br/>
I found some art - and a slightly different set of specs and version of the story than I remember from <br/>
Mitsubishi in 1968. It appears there were different versions of the plane - including ...

<t> The First Independent Gun Company has <br/>
<br/>
1 24 cm Type 90 RR Gun (classified as an AFV for technical reasons)<br/>
4 Type 88 75mm AA guns<br/>
2 Twin 13 mm AA gun mountings<br/>

This unit is restricted to movement on a rail line (as all RHS ...

<t> When I was home ported in Yokosuka, at one point my ship was in drydock, so for an extended period<br/>
I was assigned "perminant" (meaning more than one day) shore patrol duty, and was able to go visit<br/>
places in Japan, and to study Japanese (which, apart from three of the four ways to ...

Isn't working as designed? I've read that the big guns couldn't in many cases hit targets flying close to the ground.

<t> I think there is a program limit for unrestricted commands - and also other considerations -<br/>
coordinating units under a parent command probably has AI impacts. Changing what a HQ reports<br/>
to has play impacts - but you CAN do that. You can make a command report to itself in the editor ...

<t> Terminus is correct in any historical mod, without doubt. The G10N1 was more or less a "Japanese B-36" -<br/>
and even the B-36 - a wartime design - didn't make production for the war. [In part, priority was low,<br/>
as the potential need - being thrown out of Europe and Asia altogether, didn ...

Remember Execter was shown AT Singapore in some WITP mods, I decided to look it up. I found this:<br/>

<t> This material is entirely correct. The Yellow River is probably the most silt laden on the planet, and the lower portion of the<br/>
river was well ABOVE the surrounding area - centuries of dykes containing its flow. Breeching the dykes allowed the water to<br/>
flood the actually lower ...

<t> Ship slot 7105 lists a cargo ship named Don Jose - and places her at Manila when the war starts.<br/>
This is very likely intended to represent US Army Transport Don Jose, the largest of all the ships<br/>
that ran supplies to Bataan. According to US Army Ships and Watercraft, she was 10,183 ...

<t> Years ago I found a mysterious class in WITP that did not correspond to any recorded RN ship I could<br/>
find. It was the Mullion Cove. Eventually someone - Andrew Brown if memory serves - identified<br/>
it as the Mulligan Cove - which indeed is a repair ship class of the right size and ...

<t> This is the "Schneider rail gun" imported from France - well before the war - and not in production in Japan.<br/>
It is used by the First Independent Artillery Company - up in Manchukuo - and the unit should only move<br/>
on a rail line. It is similar to the fixed, prototype 16 inch gun ...
