Ships Sunk so far and some other news
Well here's my ships sunk so far in the game. As you can see I have mostly been sinking Japanese shipping. A bunch of land units arrived on the west coast in the last turn which is nice. I am busy moving troops and supplies and oil to Hawaii, Midway, and Johnston Islands. I am planning a strike into the Marshalls hopefully by September I will have all the pieces in Place to finally take some territory but we shall see.

RE: U.S.S. Illinois stats
Hi folks since you guys like the big ships as much as me,I hope you have been checking out the threads relating to the ship art for the game,as I will be doing art for all the ships in the database,and even a great many that are not in the database,in fact I'm checking through my reference books,daily looking for ship line drawings and good photo's,if anyone has a good source for excellent photos and drawings I would be very greatful for any help,although the books I use are superb for the purpose,Conways all the worlds fighting ships Vol 1,2 & 3.
Regards,
Graham.
