Dieppe really showed that one of the major points for amphibious assaults is "Do Not Attack Fortified Ports Head On"

Yup! The Japanese method of coming around the back or from the top works much better.

Have a great month. Get bitched at because of graphs.

I'll have a go at sticking the data onto google docs at some point in the next few days - its on open office atm, and that seems to not want to let me change colours of lines. I really don't think that its a big thing myself, but if people feel so strongly, then I'm okay to let someone sort it.

Don't give in to peer pressure. Your graphs are beautiful and so are you. :glomp:

I like the assumption that an empire as great and powerful as Imperial Japan even needs to have long-term plans, as if the war won't be over soon already

I think Grey is fine if he brings up a suitably strong follow up force since now he can start basing planes on the northern hex at Noumea. Just a matter of sending in ships without getting caught by air cover. What could go wrong?!?? :iiam:

You really, really need to stop attacking Hankow for a while. In December you had over 2400 AV to 900 Chinese AV. In January you had 1700 to 400. Now you have 1300 AV to 325 Chinese AV. If you can supply your troops and get that AV back up you have a chance to actually win, but as it is you're annihilating your troops and worse, giving the Chinese defenders experience every time you suicide into them. You especially need to stop attacking without enough supply, because that's both giving you a malus to the attack and burning the supply you need to rebuild your shattered formations (Remember, you started with over 5000 AV!)

Are you saying that the sheer will of the Imperial Soldier is not enough to win the day? Maybe you need to rethink your allegiance. :colbert:

That one guy who didn't like the new actually readable style of graphs is objectively wrong, you can just ignore them.

It's more fitting this way. It's the graph version of the game interface!

Yes, but the bigger problem with 12" is that your shells literally cannot penetrate the enemy ship's belt or deck and their shells will punch right through your ship.

Edit: It looks like a 12" and a 16" can reach out to the same exact ranges. The difference is the penetration issue ^^

You're thinking too small. These 12" shells would obviously be propelled by nuclear explosions.

Well, I removed the anime ship sunk hatepost. Some people read black as white (and perhaps that says something about them), but I can understand that it was quite a bad idea to link it regardless.

You guys have forgotten Grey can't even take Noumea. Getting a bit over large for britches here. The power of Japan is clearly the Navy, not the armies. Grey should follow the current path of attritional warfare, surely the Americans must run out of ships sometime.

Actually they Americans are running out of bullets as we speak

My Filipino grandpa was like 15 and part of the resistance after the Japanese took his dad (Philippine Army).

My American grandpa was going through college and ended up working on nuclear after the war. I am not sure a) if that's true or b) what he did exactly. I could be remembering entirely wrong since it's been years. ..I gotta ask my dad about this.

So how will history look at this naval battle? The Japanese lose a carrier - was it through bad damage control, a super-overly-complicated-that-would-only-work-in-fan-ficton-battleplan, lack of radar, bad spotting reports or random luck by an American pilot who could hit a romprat that was smaller than 2 meters?

I'm gonna go with the carriers were refueling and rearmi-*explosion* ooops who could have predicted that?
