Hi, Thats pretty much the way I see things as well. I don't pretend to believe there exists any "Super" strategy for knocking the USA out. All that Japan can do is try to avoid surrender. The B-29 in range is the key to this. The longer Japan ...

RE: Invasion of the US by Japan

<t> You guys are ignoring a key point in analyzing what were the decisive advantages that decided the war. The Unites States, which had manpower second only to the USSR, and which had the biggest manufacturing base of any country in the world, had no land that came under attack in the "lower 48 ...

But Brady, you can see the hull line clearly. I think you can't see an aft superstructure because one is not there, at least when that photo was taken.

I don't know about it being the inspiration for Pearl Harbor, but Taranto proved that carrier aircraft could indeed destroy ships at anchor during war time. Before that attack, it was merely theoretical.

Pry, that can't be the Quincy if the first photo was the Quincy. Where's the rear structure where all the flags are? Unless it was blown off . . .

Another request I'd make regarding the combat reports is to have them date-stamped like the Combat replays and the saved turns are. That way you can save them as-is in a folder containing your PBEM match with someone without having to take the ...

<t> The name "Uncommon Valor" comes from a statement by Churchill referring to the U.S. Marines in the Pacific (it may have been Okinawa specifically IIRC) to the effect that, "Uncommon Valor was a common virtue."

RE: Still don't like the name

Perhaps it should read, "The disagreement allegedly pertaining to Japan in the Pacific". [8|]

Honestly, was there anyone else who provoked hostilities in the Pacific?

RE: Who is the best altitude against bombing raids?

<t> There's no single correct answer to your question. The altitude should generally reflect the altitude of the attacking bombers. If the bombers are at low altitude, then your CAP should be at low altitude, for example. <br/>
<br/>
Keep in mind, however, that the lower the altitude of the ...
