@Jennifer:
You know, I have found there is a time when you want to go BB.
You want to sink the enemy fleet AND have enough punch left over to keep moving without being disabled yourself.
Battleships will perform this for you. They can take a licking and keep on ticking. I call them teh Timex of the Naval world. Besides, nothing’s quite as satisfying as having 3 Battleships for Japan (especially with Most Powerful Battleships NA in LHTR/AAR)
Jenn, funny you should mention this. I was thinking of doing exactly this in our current game. The thing is, I have Super BBs AND Tokyo Express, so the dilemma continues – 1 (Super) BB vs. 2 DDs that can transport troops . . . hmmm. Either way, I’m having a blast toying with that gigantic American fleet you have. :lol:
