Grey Hunter, you're amazing.

Alternate universe summary: 2 US battleships sunk, 6 heavily damaged. Philippines and Malaya under attack. HMS Prince of Wales and Repulse damaged by torpedo bombers off Singapore. The only significant difference appears to be that the computer didn't attack Midway.

I'd just like to remind everyone of what happened the last time Grey Hunter played a game where it was "OK I'm going to win like nuts in the beginning, and then the way the game's designed inevitably means that I'm going to start going backwards and consolidating somewhat and the real measure of success isn't what I gain now, it's what I don't lose later"

We have an even-money chance of this either ending in Operation Downfall or the American intelligence report reading "Tokyo Bay Fortress is located at San Francisco".

To be fair, Grey's WiTE game glitched out after a patch and the Soviet AI stopped evacuating all of its industry. This allowed him to destroy like 2/3 of all Soviet tank production in the first year of the war.

Someone always points this out when I bring that up, and I have never wavered in my conviction that it is utterly irrelevant.
