Phone posting - if no one has picked it I'll take the Musashi!

As much as I'd like to pick the CBBC Alaska, I don't want to wait around for 3-4 years before it is commissioned. :<

Also, since we're not grandfathering in last year's choices, BB Mutsu. . I've got a lucky feeling about her.

You'll be lucky if she doesn't randomly explode in port for no reason on the first turn. :v:

Grey put the PoW and Repulse on wheels and rolled them to Johannesburg on roads made from the bones of dead Japanese.

So that's where all the dead IJ guys from Eniwetok wound up...

As an aside, I really hope we see a nice battleship engagement at some point during this war.

The US had something like 40% of the entire planet's industrial capacity during WWII, right? I love it when various video game communities complain that the US is OP when really they're usually gutted in the interest of fairness.

At least this game does a decent enough job of representing the Bottomless Everything.

Really feeling this. I would love to play USA in HOI 4 but it lets you break the game by getting the industrial machine running far too early, at least when I try to play a non-democracy.

Maybe even a discount for owners of RtW1!
