  1. I am clearly too used to USN vs IJN fights in the Pacific, because I took the first action (Battle of the Bay of Biscay) like this: Drach: "Two cruisers versus 11 destroyers and torpedo boats" Me: "That sounds bad for the cruisers." Drach: "After lunch ..." Me: "Oh, in daylight and with room to maneuver. That's much better."

  2. ​ @mnxs  My wife's grandfather served in the Pacific, and had a USMC tattoo on his arm. He always told her he lounged on the beach and played cards. Granted, he passed away when she was 13 and may not have thought she was able to handle the truth, but he seems to have told everyone else the same story.
