This isn't the most GH thing to ever happen in an LP, that was the time that you accidentally destroyed a planet by sending a doomsday weapon on a raid, but this is definitely in the top 10.

It was in his Distant Worlds Legends LP, more specifically this update.

The tl;dr of it is that he had a Death Star-type ship, one that blows up planets, and accidentally included her in a fleet when he sent said fleet to attack an enemy planet. Ka-boom.

Thank you, my weekend is now booked.

Grey, I'll be reading this in your voice. So when your throat feels horse, you know who to blame.

With an unescorted convoy that size, you might as well close to secondary range, or even machine gun range, even if the big guns are out of ammo.

Great plan, then the Allied troops can board Yamato.

I have reclused myself from the location of TBF. this is in case I am captured. Currently, only the Fortress commandant knows it's location.

Though it is thought to be in the Tokyo region.

God, what game would I have to play to act out the Tokyo Bay Fortress story?

Seconding the X-com, UFO unknown naturally.

Imagine the lessons naval designers are getting from these battles.

"By removing the useless scout planes and anti aircraft guns, we saved enough weight to incorporate bayonets on the 18inch guns. Now we are prepared if the US throws waves of useless landing craft at us again."

If we replace the entire gun can we get a 200' spear on an 18" gun turret? In the arts of the past the IJN will find victory.

The bombardment does its work, and breaks the morale of the defenders. Half starved, they surrender. I have captured an allied base in late 1945.
