How badly is Essex damaged if they traveled only two or three hexes since yesterday?

It's hosed. My guess is the Essex is in that critical "go slow or else we flood" damage stage

29,000 yards is a long way in the dark. They might not have been sure what that mass of ships was.

That's a solid point. They did mistake a bunch escort carriers as fleet carriers that one time.

Italian torpedo boat Enrico Cosenz, scuttled following damage suffered in a collision with a merchant ship and German air attack.

I'm choosing to read this as collision first, air attack second. Seems fitting.

I remember a good while ago I suggested an addition to that mod based around the Germans capturing Egypt/Gibraltar so that the larger cruisers and battleships of the Italian navy could join the fray as well. To boost the Japanese carriers there was also the idea of the Germans completing the aircraft carrier Graf Zeppelin and the Italians completing the Aquila and the Sparviero. Adding these to everything else included would basically just form one giant Axis fleet in the Pacific that might have evened the numbers for a while.

oh god the operational losses

edit: The battle report says the Alabama sunk, but the overall report at the end of the post says the New Mexico sank. What's going on? The world wonders.

I always thought the obvious solution there would be to have the female soldiers crew the tanks. If you needed someone strong to help carry out a repair you could always get one of the infantry who should always be accompanying the tank to do it.

Dude, I'm a tiny Asian person and I was able to help change tracks just fine. I'd rather not have an untrained retard touching my vehicle.

e: to be clear, any repair that actually requires outside assistance is going to be too severe for some random grunt to help with in the first place.
