Having never played, can anyone tell me if Grey's 6000 plus political points are a little or a lot? What should be done with them at the point?

habeasdorkus posted:Then they plaster the Kiddo Butai without losing a single carrier of their own, and all of a sudden the undefeatable Japanese Navy is cored. And THEN they sneak a task force right to the gates of Singapore, deep within what was thought to be Japanese controlled waters. After almost two years of getting bollocked both on land and at sea in the Pacific, they've just won the equivalent of Lepanto. I would think Singapore gets talked about in this timeline like the Doolittle Raid was in our timeline. I wonder if the loss at Jaluit is even allowed in the press. American performance in the Pacific in this timeline probably gets a decidedly mixed review from history, something like "American industrial and technical supremacy covered several major flaws in strategic and operational thought".

Adar posted:The timeline where this happens IRL is a really fascinating one, though: Post-war China is so hosed. I'd think the odds of a Soviet intervention in this timeline would be lower given the general Allied ineptitude in the Pacific. The western Allies need Stalin's intervention badly. I wonder what his asking price would be?

I'm ok with a cordon sanitaire around Chungking and moving on to India. But if you're going to do it, do it without marching the IJA over that mountain range. I just think we're not gonna hear about that army for -forever-....kinda boring.

Epicurius posted:Yes. After the surrender of the Netherlands, the Dutch ships and stuff were under foreign command. The Zwaardvisch operated out of Freemantle, Australia, and was first under the British Far Eastern Fleet, and then the US Fleet. So did they have a stores stockpile or did the Allies just make new equipment to keep the Dutch subs operational?

Magni posted:Ahh, so that's why those carriers at Guam are moving so slow, they got auntie Langley with them. As in CV-1 USS Langley, the first ever USN carrier. She's a WWI-era coal freighter that was converted in the 1920's into a carrier (and then into a seaplane tender in 1936). She can only do something like 16 knots. Perfect for putting into a fleet carrier group. I think it's actually the second ship of that name. Later served as Lafayette in the French navy. E: fb
