Status: offline 		I was wondering if their was any intention of ever including the Chinese River Carriers in the game?

History; In early 1942 Rear Admiral (later Lieutenant General) B Affleck came up with the idea of building a Carrier force on the Yangtze River in China. The purpose of this force was to come down the river into the Sea of Japan, and launch air strikes on military and Industrial targets on the Japanese West Coast. The Carrier Force was to retire up the Yangtze River after these strikes, thus it would be out of range to any retaliatory Japanese Carrier Force.

Three Light River Carriers were built, but sat out the war in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River. As the Chinese Ground Forces never managed to take the Lower reaches of the River, thus giving the Carriers access to the Sea of Japan. Is a great pity this plan was never put into operation, as it would of caused the Japanese to lose great face.

Here is a photo I managed to find of one of the Carriers:

I thought the "Upper Yangtze" looked pretty wide in that photo...

That's the government censor at work, removing all background to confuse the enemy.

Well, there were planes, but if you have played as allies you know how bad the Chinese planes were. They all crashed on takeoff or landing.

Very ugly....planes taking off just before the carrier goes under a railroad bridge.

I know this is true because I heard about it on the history channel.

The fact that it also stops planes taking off is obviously not his problem, rules are rules and all that

Antropoid while I usually find your questions thoughtful and considerate this must be your one bad day!

These were Chinese river carriers.

They carry rivers, not planes. Doh thats so obvious...

Even so, you can't blame us for making other plays on your post! It was far too enticing...

I know.. Sometimes the oulde rogue in me creeps up and just has to stir the pot..... Sort of like with LST's signature. One person in a parish told me I'm a blend of Billy Graham and Robin Williams. Don't think I'd qualify for either with any success, but it's an interesting thought. Keeps my sermons interesting, anyway.
