Board Update from 1.0.2 to 2.1

There doesn't seem to be any option to see new threads like the old board. Instead you have to individually check each subforum.

Very British Humor

"Though why anyone would want to play during an air raid is open to question." Don't know many golfers, eh? They're pretty hard-core. The ones here in South Carolina brave alligators on the fairways without a second thought. They just play around.

Peacetime losses

When I was playing the US the first time I used the structural failure and loss of a destroyer as a catalyst for a new building program, finally pushing it through Congress after years of foot dragging. And then, of course, you had the Philippines. BOOM!

I have made a terrible mistake

You know what must really suck? Actually being a member of an African royal family and needing to get a large sum of money out of the country. And if someone does believe you, they're probably in the 70's or 80's and have little clue how the internet works, much less international banking.

Russian "Mine battleship"

Interesting. I guess the US Navy wasn't the only one to investigate the idea of torpedo battleships. Granted, with all those tubes I'd have grave doubts about her watertight integrity if she gets hit by one.

USN Ships for 1942

Those twin enclosed 5" mounts are going to be MUCH heavier than the old singles, and I think you have them simmed wrong. I've always counted them as mount & hoist and they also have armored gunhouses.

United States 1940

I was never a fan of superhero comic books. About the only ones I ever bought were Star Wars (before the bunny), Godzilla, and Battlestar.

Been fun, but I'm done.

I have nothing to offer the sim any more and no real interest at all so I'm done. Don't really have much in the way of story advice to give to any future US player, though I do have production reports through 1941 pretty much done. Since my mother died last fall I've lost all interest in the sim and all its twists and turns and general shenanigans. All the emphasis on economics and other non-naval minutia just makes my eyes roll back and I start drooling like an idiot. Its just not fun anymore, ...

Iowa Class Battleship Design as Basis for Ocean Liners

With my Columbia and Liberty I used the engines from unfinished Lexington class Battlecruisers, but that was about it. The rest of the hull was purpose built. The S.S. United States' power plant apparently was used as the prototype for the plant used in the Forrestal, so I don't see why the Iowa's engines wouldn't work in a liner.
