@ Gensui: Heavy Cruisers are considered escort vessels in HPP, thus the fleets I proposed do have sufficient escorts.
Really?
I'd thought that because they appeared in the capital tab, the game mechanics was set to reflect that...Eitherway, given Heavy Crusiers lack good sub/sea defence compared to light crusiers, it makes their inclusion a bit more important in my opinion since it helps 'waste shots' off a capital heavy fleet.
I will send the divers to find the wreckage of US ships and retrieve all useful materials, if there are any left .Holy... All that metal on the sea bottom... Japan could use that. I believe some admirals should be getting court-marshalled in the USN.
Thanks. During the Guam Campaign I actually thought that we were f*cked and that the US Navy would crush us quickly, considering that they could take some losses while we were having problems even with damaged ships. However, after Saipan things progressed extremely well. The USA lost several battleships and carriers, which should make our life earlier during the rest of the year. Moreover, they lost several submarine flotillas, which means that our supply lines will be safer.Very impressive work on the naval scene. I did well in my Teutonic Dreams AAR, but nothing like what you've done with the IJN.
Unfortunately, due to fatal hard drive error, this AAR will no longer be continued. Sorry, guys . It was fun!
