US CV replacements

[Hornblower]

I don’t have an issue with the respawning.
Look at it this way.  The US was intent on winning the war against Japan.  If I was needed to speed up the construction of CV’s they would have done it.  As it was there were 10+ Essex’s that were completed after the war.  Just like a New Lady Lex, Hornet, wasp, Yorktown, there would have been a new Sara and Enterprise if need be, or a Hornet III for that matter.

I've no problem with respawning if the wait time is appropriate.  Say minimum of 24 months with a max of 36.  Essex carriers were not wished up overnight.

So, no more hordes of torp carrying Betty's????

Ive always had a not so secret crush on Teri Garr since I first saw her on Star Trek. Loved Young Frankenstein even though I hated every other Mel Brooks movie. Wonder why?

Roger that, and concur with your actions. Me too!!!

If the Allied player loses his carriers, though, it is the Japanese player that is "cheated" vs. history. You can end up getting extra Essex's that weren't available. And the respawn rule on cruisers is especially generous to the Allies; I have sunk over 20 cruisers in my game that have all respawned, way more than historical.

And Zuikaku is right on the Kamis; they are not as deadly as IRL.

All this changes, apparently, in AE.

But the basic issue is still that the hulls that became those four renamed carriers were on the ways when they were renamed. They do not appear in the game if the Lexington, Yorktown, Wasp, and Hornet do not get sunk. They would have appeared in real life whether or not those ships got sunk. They should appear in the game at the same time as they would have in the real life. Just as you just can't dial up an Essex and have it pop up in 180, or 360, or 540 days for that matter, you can't stop one from launching because another ship was not lost.

What would really frost the IJN would have been if none of the 'original six' are lost, and the first four Essex Class and the Independence class show up as scheduled and are operational by the end of 43.

Didn't know that. What episode was she in and what did she play?

Hot babe in her day, especially in Young Frankenstein. "Roll in the hay, Doctor?" [X(][:)]

There was an episode, where they go back in time to about 1960. There's a guy who is trying to stop a rocket launch. Kirk isn't sure he's a good-guy or bad-guy (he's actually a good-guy spy). Terri Garr is his secretary.

If memory serves, that was supposed to become a Star Trek spin-off. Don't know what they had planned, but it didn't make it. Too bad, I could have watched Teri each week, even if Robert Lansing was the protagonist.

So did you guys watch McCloud?

[John 3rd]

They did plan on making into a spin-off series but nothing became of it.  If you enjoyed those characters read the Trilogy about the Eugenics Wars.  They are in that along with everyone's favorite Star Trek villian Khan Noonian Singh.

Wasn't that the ST spin-off mentioned above? [8D][;)][:D]

[bradfordkay]

Wasn't "McCloud" the Dennis Weaver cop show?
