It's a long ways away, but give me the USS Massachusetts (BB-59)!

I see you've decided to make my avatar relevant again for the next few years.

I'll take the USS Lionfish (SS-298) to grab the other WW2 ship from Battleship Cove.

In this game, does 1 'casualty' represent one man?

Here's why I ask: I'm rereading Grey's last WiTP LP and he sinks a Japanese troop ship or something, and the game reports '35 casualties', but Grey comments 'That's 350 dead troops right there.'

Does that mean 1 casualty = 10 troops or did Grey :angel: uncharacteristically :angel: misspeak?

One thing to note is that the actual number of casualties isn't what's important (mechanically speaking), it's the number of squads disabled or destroyed.

Defiantly a typo. Speaking of casualties I wonder how the game calculates tropical diseases because I'm pretty sure it must because grognards are grognards.

It definitely represents malaria in certain areas, but I'm not on my computer with the manual at the moment so I can't find out how right now.

GH, if you're sending Claudes against P-40s, you're going to take losses. That plane is obsolete regardless of what height it's set at.

Airplane fuel is abstracted differently from fuel; airplanes run on supply.

The Chinese have a ton of HQ units comprised almost entirely of non-combat squads; that was probably one of them with a small engineer unit also in the hex or something.
