I love the I-400’s, and are those planes from shapeways?
Those are very cool.
Are these house rules for Global 40 or something else?
Nice work, man! :-D

Thanks……Those House Rules are for a Global 39.
The planes are not from Shapeways, however they do have some on there. Not sure where i got those from. Have had them for a while. You have to glue the Skids onto the Plane.

I figured it was 39, because of the dice you used. The planes are cool, regardless! :-D
Nice!
Guys,
I recently read a book on the I-400’s. It was very good although I can’t remember the name.
**––“Operation Storm” is probably the best of three books I’ve read that were written specifically on this subject, the Japanese bombing of the US West coast and/or Panama canal, using sub-launched aircraft. They had even planned for possibly using a “dirty” bomb. Good book. Good paint jobs, too. I guess I’ll be seeing them from the U.S. side this weekend in our game.

Yes that was the one Tall Paul!
I had never really heard of them before.Thought it was well done. Had a good Japan perspective.
Was interesting to read how different sub captains carried out the kill all survivors of merchant sinkings order.
Tall Paul-
Yes, Chris already said he will be going for that Tech.

----If you & Chris would read the above book, (I’ll let you borrow mine), you’d see that these 400-class boats & a few others were so HUGE that they made wonderful sonar/radar targets,…and were very sluggish in underwater manuevers. To me that means their DEFENSIVE value should be REDUCED, not improved. Also, If I remember they didn’t carry any additional torpedoes so I’m not sold on their OFFENSE being improved either. Their offensive improvements were primarily their three sub-borne aircraft.
----I understand the “gameplay value” of an improved tech unit though, as well as the desire to give “new” capabilities to such a cool looking sculpt as these.
----Anyway, I’m looking forward to having some FUN with ya’ll. I only wish I’d had a little time to better learn all of yall’s house rules, set-ups, and such.Tall Paul
p.s.-Bring your tablet as I remember the above book is an “e-book” on my amazon reader app. I think I can “loan” it to you (somehow).**
Those subs look really nice! I really like your house rule and pieces.
Awesome :)
