Ow. You think that's the AI actually being competent, noticing the invasion force and trying to knock out your nearby airbases before the main force arrives?

They finally let Curtis LeMay transfer in theater.

I was waiting around for the Soviets to activate. They could at least make things interesting.

Ditto. Also I'd like to see what happens with the India invasion.

I think a good balance would be to do as suggested earlier and maybe move from "day by day" to something like "week by week" so you can focus on the exciting bits.

So long as you follow thru on a non-video RTW2 AAR I'm a happy camper.

Yeah, that's what I'm really looking forward to. I'm going to be buying the game just to create a design bureau that focuses on the lessons from this war... battleships rule and carriers drool.

I don't think it would actually work but a RTW2 set in this world's post war era could have some interesting moments.

Would bombardment attacks do anything against those troops on the island? You seem to have many more guns than they do,

There's a good idea to test...massed guns of the IJN vs. the Allies on Truk. It's not like the naval war is being seriously contested now...you could move the BBs and CAs up to turn Truk into powder.

I bet the army messed with the navy's paperwork so that they would always have a secret stash for their aerial and water units. :v:

Gen. Tojo nods sagely.

Right, I finally got over my hangups and made a patreon page, so if anybody wants to throw a little bit of cash my way, they can.

Lets get things strait, I'm not hurting for cash, but with the lad draining a grand a month in nursery fees, I'm not going to say no to any extra money I can apply to my hobbies. Nothing will change if nobody signs up, but people have mentioned it in the past and I want to give people the option - barring an auto link in the video descriptions, I don't plan on banging on about this. I'm never going to be big enough to go pro, so I'm not kidding myself.

I'm not sure what kind of extras I can offer, so there are no tiers, but if you sign up, I shall tell you the location of Tokyo Bay Fortress!

Begging post over.


Eyes glass over. to much like work. no standard deviation 1/10.

poo poo, I give Lowtax :10bux:, definitely happy to throw money your way. The *secret knowledge* is received after pledging was an added bonus!

Why the gently caress are there 100+ Liberators at Port Moresby? Yes I know "because the AI :lol:" but still...what the gently caress!

Moresby is a great place to turn into a big airbase, I did the same thing in my game. It can be upgraded to size 9 (or at least size 8). It has coverage over a lot of the Solomons and New Guinea, including Rabaul. It is relatively easy to supply and defend as the Allies. It’s just about as good a place to base heavy bombers as any in the South Pacific.

100+ Liberators is a lot but probably the smartest thing the AI could realistically do right now would be to try and flatten Rabaul from the air, and Moresby is the best base for that. There are many examples of the AI being dumb but I don’t think this is one of them.

I see. I guess I was thinking Liberator = bomb heavy industry/cities but I see your point.

Looks like you're building up a force of A6M7 Zeros at Rabaul...

Some more WWII wrecks have been stolen from the Pacific

I think these two subs have shown up in this game.

Obviously a carrier raid on Vladivostok is needed... valuable practice for the Divine Wind taskforce.

Grey, any chance of you getting a squadron or two of modern fighters back to the Home Islands? I'd like to see the carnage you could inflict on those crates the Soviets are flying.

My last report: Escort No. 75 disappears mid-voyage, most likely due to mines.

I think I started this project 15 September 1942 (2016) with the sinking of USS Wasp. This book has been on desk ever since. It's gonna be a little weird to put it away.

For posterity, what was the book's name again?
