I can never keep track what the heck is going on in this game, but I look forward to watching Grey sink the British Navy. Maybe on purpose this time.

This game really seems to love having ships get bombed to pieces, go up in raging flames, lose 90% of their structure and engines, take half a dozen torpedo explosions below the water line, and then calmly sail across the whole Pacific and get repaired.

Isn't there a thing where every Chinese squad that dies gets instantly replaced? Is there a point to beating up the Chinese?

Actually, for that matter, is it really the best strategy to fight on all these dozen of little fronts at once? I mean, obviously that's how it happened historically, but couldn't the player ignore all the dozens of little islands and concentrate all those forces to like, conquer Hawaii or something?

Did Grey sink literally anything at Pearl Harbor

Yesss, Maya lives! She certainly won't meet a horrific demise with heart-wrenching consequences back home

Even after years of following these LP's the game still makes very little sense to me.

Allied AV: 5482

Adjusted Allied AV: 1

And I suspect it's 1 because of a hard limit and it would have been -2910 or something without that limit.

They got ready to go and then they all decided it was a bad idea and stayed home instead. Except for Benny, 'cause nobody thought to tell him. Poor, poor Benny.

50,000 Chinese soldiers all bunched up listening at the gate to see if it's safe, and on the other side is one Japanese guy doing a bunch of different voices.

:bahgawd: "Don't interrupt me! All right, line up another convoy. 20 AKs and 1 DD for escort, just like the last one. This time they're sure to get through."

Thanks for doing these, by the way. Really helps put in perspective just how much of a massacre World War Grey is.

For comparison, BB Royal Sovereign is about twice as long and 15 times as heavy as I-21.

BB Royal Sovereign is approximately 100 times as long and 300,000 times as heavy as an adult human. :colbert:

45 ships run into each other, but instead of fighting they just sort of awkwardly avoid eye contact and sail right on by.

Would it be possible at some point to get a big picture of the whole Pacific with, like, an MSpaint circle around the bases you control? That'd be interesting to see.

About how many actual casualties have you inflicted? Or is it too abstract to estimate that?

It was basically inevitable, though. Grey's been beating up the American fleet pretty bad, but meanwhile they've been busy churning out a jillion carriers. The question wasn't if we'd run face-first into a wall made of solid planes, but when.
