[QUOTE]It would seem that we will never know, since WITP will NOT be giving us total control of our 30% of the US war economy. For the strategy to work, you need that control.
Mogami and I had planned on testing this idea. Oh well.[/QUOTE]
Why am I not surprised? Before you were highly critical of the two-prongued approach, saying that it was an unnecessary waste of lives and berating the General Staff and SWPac command in particular for its lack of vision. Your claim was that all that would be required for the USN under Halsey and Nimitz to blitz the Pacific. Now you say you can't do it because you lack... something... not clear what.
Does this mean you no longer think the historically used 2-prong offensive was inapproriate, given that they like you can't conjure up the magic bullet that you think would make the deed doable?
Drat! I was so looking forward to reading the AAR where you as the USN player find yourself repeatedly busting your sword on Saipan into 1947 while Mogami laughs and eats your ships from under you. Oh well.
