        how to get into the training room

Maybe you want to invite a couple of lower tier dds to act as DE's (I.e. S.B. Roberts) for Chapter 2?  I'm game with a Clemson.  Let me know how to sign up.

no problem 

[AMajor]

outwardpanicjoe,

 

I stand corrected.  There were no DEs that participated in the battle https://www.history.navy.mil/research/library/online-reading-room/title-list-alphabetically/b/battle-of-guadalcanal.html

My confusion is that there were DDs there that had the same name as Wicks DDs that the US had given to the Brits.

 

Now, a pitch.  Can you draw up a training room simulating the Battle of Samar?  It might be tough because anyone playing the IJN side will know how weak the USN position was, but maybe you could find a way to leveling the odds?

hmm that's not a bad idea ill have to look more into it there look to be enough for a hold chapter or 2. i also have a few other events worked up so they might come first since the battle of Samar was a little later,midway i have been looking into doing a lower tier event with dreadnoughts since we have german bbs and English bbs we could do one on the battle of Jutland.  

[AMajor]

Jutland, now that would be fun since the lower tier ships are from that time in history.
