Next RPS: Pacific Theatre of Operations

[Shifty]

The PTO should be a nice change for a while. Maybe the AvA crew will add a sub or two for the Axis to simulate the KI-45, and J2M........ Maybe?

Two possible scenarios we can run with:

- 1941-1945: United States vs. Japan

Umm . . . have to nitpick . . .

Britain and the Commonwealth were not at war with Japan until after Pearl Harbor.  Churchill had promised FDR that the UK would support the US in the event of a Japanese attack on US interests in the Pacific.  He kept his promise so well that the UK declared war with Japan before the US congress officially declared war themselves.

The only game action vs Japan that could be had before Pearl would be the P-40s of the AVF in China.

..er...if I'm not mistaken, the AVG's first combat occurred after Pearl Harbor.

Missed that particular nit . . . I stand corrected.

I have July '41 stuck in my head.  I think that is when the first group left for China.

Somehow the map got porked tonight.  Until Fork can straighten it out correctly, we have Japanese as Bishops and Allies as Rooks.  Should be workable enough.

I left a large island in NW of map as neutral Knights, to minimize porking opportunities.  Please do not bomb it.
