Thanks
The documentary made a big deal out lack of recognition of Navajo codetalker until 1968 and how unfair it was. As I thought use as Navajo language by the USMC was well know before then.

<r> saw a documentary on Canadian History channel and it said the Navajo code talker were only declassified in 1969. It then said the lack of acknowledgement was a hardship because it came so late. I remember reading about Navajo using their language before than. In addition in the 1955 movie Battle...

Onime, Louis Battenberg reversed the Kelly in a minefield before he was given command of Combined Operation where he butchered Canadian at Dieppe.

<t> The Jap did not have dedicated amphib landing vessel when they attacked Malaysia in December 1941 (northwest monsoon).

Wow, two dumbasses for the price of one...[8|]

Typical from a country that surrendered in 2 minutes.

<t> The Swordfish was all right as long as it did not face enemy fighters and anti-aircraft gunners who realized how slow they flew.

He may only be drinking, hope he does not start smoking.

There is also a couple of air unit twice.

Sorry Ron but Emery stinks.

<t> Actually in the game they are labeled as APA but I do not think they have an advantage in amount of troops landed in a day over AP or AK ships. For landing on enemy held beaches the game understates what an APA can do and overstates what AP and AK ships can do. APA ships were so valuable in the ...

The 5 Inch CD gun has 0 for anti-amor is that correct?

<r> <QUOTE><s>[quote]</s>ORIGINAL: el cid again<br/> <br/> These vessels are converted cargo ships. The only difference is an APA has facilities for more troops. Both ships carry troops and cargo.

<r> In the kodapa strategy guide it indicate AK land troop more effectively than AP hip is this because AP ship have more experience crews and captains.

Because the Jap player knows that US torpedoes do not work it allow the KB to reattack Pearl something that the Japanese would not have done because of the fear of sub attacking carriers.
