Adm. Nimitz

Post by Trekkie »

I am curious - what is his mission in your games? Do you replace Kimmel with him or do you have different task for him?

(If I am asking already answered question, I´m sorry, however it seems that there is something terribly wrong with the search engine. So I am joining the crowd shouting "Please, do something with that!") [:)]

I give Kimmel the Battle Fleet and assign Nimitz the theatre command. It's what they were most qualified for.

I put him at Star Fleet command, while Kimmel commands the Yamato and Picard the Enterprise. So far only problem I have is the Enterprise was decomissioned awhile ago, some Cpt named Kirk ran off with a bunch of tribbles.

That is, after all, the touble with tribbles.

Fascinating. I really love the level of penetration of Star Trek into common knowledge. BTW, I remember USS Nimitz starship in one of Star Trek games [:D]

I leave Kimmel in Hawaii where he can't do any damage. Plus I cant help feeling sorry for the guy.

Nimitz is of more value in a regional command (like SOPAC) where he can actually make a difference. Adm. Ghormley is good at Scrabble but he is just a sissy boy.

Can he make no difference in high command ?

According to the Change of Command (i.e., commander replacement) screen, Kimmel is most suited for a rear-area command and Nimitz for an assault command.

And you think that's a better judge than you are?

Are you sure he didn't run off with some green skinned alien women ?

Just reporting what I see. Altho I don't know as I'd give Kimmel anything important to command.

Re Nimitz I feel compelled to say:

Don't mess with Texas!

That is all.
