Actually, behind the scenes about 3 months ago I started collecting stuff for an RJW scenario. The way I want to do it is as a free official download for owners of WPO. Basically, I was thinking 2 or three small scenarios, and then a large ...

It seems that a TF at sea or docked is still a TF ready for action if required, especially if the TF commander knew that the base was likely to be captured. Those disbanded ships in port would individually ...

To quote the manual (9.3.2), "...SOME ships at anchor at that base are automatically scuttled..." (emphasis mine). Subs are boats, not ships. Ask an old navy guy (i.e., a guy who has been in the navy, not ...
