No, we can go even deeper. We should publish a book, "The Pacific theater of World War 2 as told by Grey Hunter" It can include not only his first play through, but this one as well simultaneously (Hell even his first botched attempt.) All told as if it was a legit history book.

This raises a good point, where is our fighter support? Over the past few days I think I've seen no more than a handful of Zeros take to the skies in our defense.

I think its even worse than it seems. I think we've actually lost more transports to date than was lost in the entirety of the last attempt.

My Grandpa served with the engineers building and maintaining airfields throughout the war. Bout the most interesting thing that happened to him is when the Japanese launched a bombing raid on the field he was stationed at during the middle of the night while the airfield was filled with loaded bombers. He actually had this wrote down somewhere, I should try to find it.

A White Guy posted:If you really want to talk about longevity, it's amazing how, even today, some of this poo poo is still being used. For example, there is documented evidence of the T-34 still being used in combat even today. Hell, even the StG. 44 is still out there fighting wars. The Syrian civil war is an absolute goldmine when it comes to footage of WW2 era tech, whether it's the FSA using StG.44s, the SAA using T-34s as defensive supplements , or ISIS using old German AT guns to lob shells at people. It's like each side just raided a museum.

So whats the word on our holed carrier? Would she have made it back to port yet or is she still desperately pushing the limits of Japanese damage control?

Grey Hunter posted:Dear Commander. Dont be absurd Grey, no commander would be so foolish as to waist valuable shells like that. Clearly what happend is that they loaded the soldiers themselves into their guns and fired them over the allies defensive's so they could engage them in personal combat. I for one think we should applaud his ingenuity as because of it we are now seven soldiers closer to victory.

It will be like Cat's in the Cradle, but with Lets Plays. It shall be one parts tragic and hilarious.

So that's 3+ years just for that one game, and we've had at least one more abortive attempt before this one. As it happens I believe we are a scant one week from today from when Grey's last attempt came to a screeching halt

And with this update, Grey has now reached the point where the last attempt died. For a reference here is how he was doing at this time last year. And this is of course his progress from today May Grey continue to lead mighty Nippon to victory over the decedent west.
