Ironman Allied

Post by Andy Mac »

I am bored while my AI tests for patch 2 are running so I have been playing with Ironman the Allied version...

Just a taster playing this on Historic should give all you budding Japanese v Allied AI players a bit of a challenge - its mostly ahistoric giving the allies a bit of a boost but what the hey the AI needs it

p.s. you dont want to see what I am doing to the allied sqns and LCU's.....

Be afraid be very afraid

Andy.....

Don't know which cancelled ships have/have not been included. Maybe some of them? If not, there are lots of cities that can be used for cruiser names but weren't...

Allied CA's and CL's are the single biggest reason late war allied TF's dont form so this is primarily to help em out and take the losses to give a player a good game into 46

Darn, Andy, how about:
Tampa
Miami
Orlando
Tallahassee
Jacksonville
Thonotosassa
Opalaka
Okahumpka
Lake Wales
Gainseville
Destin
Lauderdale
largo
Panama City and
Bonita Springs

And then there's Kissimmee, Titusville, Palatka, Ocala, Perry, Altamont, Port Charlotte, and Daytona. Not to mention my favorites, Key Largo, Key West, Big Pine, Marathon, and especially Islamorada!

OK its more or less done at sea so to speak

USN gets 11 BB's (incl 4 Alaskas), 5 CV's and 3 CVL's plus 14 additional cruisers (no more DD's they already get plenty)
Canada gets 2 Cruisers, 7 DD's and 1 CVL
NZ Gets 4 Cruisers and 3 Destroyers
Australia gets 1 CVL, 5 Cruisers and 8 Destroyers
Dutch get 2 Cruisers and 2 Destroyers
RN gets 2 BB's, 5 CV's and 3 CVL's plus 19 Cruisers and about 40 Destroyers
FF get 2 BB's, 5 Cruisers and 8 Destroyers

So the AI's ability to take a lot more losses in 44/45 and 46 should be enough when it goes for home island - which is th ewhole point.

Even on historic I hope this will give a bigger challenge

Just by chance, perhaps... You wouldn't happen to be from Florida, would you? If so, you forgot Belle Glade, Micanopy, Pahokee, Withlacochee, Kissimmee, Ocala, and a few others I could think of. Oh, yes.. Two Egg. I can just see it now, the USS Two Egg, a Baltimore Class CA.

Well, dang! If Destin is in there you HAVE to include a FT. WALTON or an OKALOOSA.

Maybe also Niceville or Crestview as well![:)]

Yep, them too. And there's the ever popular Apalachicola.

Thinking on it, maybe Andy should have a "South of Nowhere" class of cruisers. Ships named for such teeming metropolii as ...

Cooders Pond, AL
One Ball, NM

There has to be others out there.
