I had a blast. Killed many politicly incorrect oriental types, knocked down some squid cookie factories, vultched the bejeezus outta one of the two remaining fields, and generally laffed my bellybutton off when animal vultched urcin one too many times and he threw a chan 1 tantrum.
The lil kamakazies constantly upping from the field we were trying to take kept us low and engaged while the smarter sly lil yellow divits upped from their secure field to assault the fleet and start chopping down defenses at their captured outlying fields.
Result, IJN repulsed our capture, and regained ground by flanking the allied attack. All in all, I had fun, the nips had fun, the allies had fun, and we all went home happy. Except Urchin. Who needs to re-aquaint himself with the stratagey of upping from uncontested fields if he don't wanna get shot off the runway trying to up in the middle of a field assault.
BTW.. those CV's just didn't HAPPEN to be there... it took 4 hours of arena time to GET 'em there in position for what was an absoultely hugely fun amphibious assault the likes of which I've never seen before.. 8 CVBG's, 4 w/ a/c enabled, 2 brit and 2 USN., all within close proximity. Was truly a riot.. the rice eaters were kamakazing the Bombardment groups we'd placed closer in to screen for the A/C equipped fleets.
Anyway.. like Mako pointed out.. the CT can't be all things to all people.
Urchin.. truly sorry if yer feathers got rumpled; but nobody pointed a gun to yer head and MADE you up from a hot strip...
