The Kido Butai has refuelled and is now sweeping towards Singapore � the plan was to cause terror, the first terror is mine! We get off lightly however.

When's my "My lucky ship survived the Kido Butai" t-shirt being delivered?

I was hoping it would be Eniwetok since that's where GH opened an eldritch gate through human sacrifice in the Allied LP.

Crazy theory here. Did no one tell New Zealand that I own Luganville? Are they just trying to build up a base that they think they still own?

I wouldn't be surprised if that actually is what's happening. I have seen AIs in other games prepare moves and still execute them even if the situation has significantly changed like sending reinforcements to a position that has already been lost. From what I've heard, WitP isn't the most flexible to begin with, so :shrug:

The Japanese army probably sent a poorly fabricated note signed "The Navy (who sucks)" explaining how the navy has concluded they're a bunch of honourless dogs and don't deserve the fine Japanese craftmanship and they should just concentrate on building tanks for the army because the army is so much better and cooler than the navy.

The Army all but won in China, so that would be absolutely right. :v:

Also speaking of Nazi incompetence, we can't not mention the Ludendorff bridge.

In the end the bridge was captured by the Americans, and it's agreed that the German failure to blow it up significantly shortened the war.

They should make a movie out of that story!

That's funny because it was exactly that kind of thinking (in part) that made Italians so mad after WWI that they supported Mussolini in the first place

The other part of their thinking was of course thinking they needed a victory at the Isonzo. :v:
