"On the other hand, we now have the means to get literally any ship at all through the Panama Canal, just wait until she reaches the other side to resupply her while she's rather beyond the end of her endurance during the crossing."

Depends on their airgroups, yep, and other factors, but if this happens (the raid) in canon, Big E and Lexy can savage them.No one cares enough to mention the cute birdie, the Wake Island Rail?
Hiryuu and Souryuu on their detour to Wake are screwed then, because with the planes on Wake helping occupy their air wings, Enterprise and Lexington can jump them using larger air groups.
Bwahahahahahahaha. Dooo eeett...
*snicker* Would it be short? I've seen frigging PhD thesis on that precise topic.

Heh. I don't have the source material, time, or inclination to write a PhD thesis. It'd be more a summary and might crest the thousand-word mark.

I could probably write one myself (not necessarily on Tsushima 
) were I so inclined.
Also: Will see if I need to reply to anything when I get home. For now, have cutes

Captain: "The bridge now has a huge dome of metal plates over it, with a big rim too. Admiral... what have you and Sara been doing recently in preparation for the meeting?"
Thompson: "Sara, please take the hat off so that we don't alarm the guests any more than strictly necessary..."
Captain: "...the huge mechanical arms that come out of the flight deck and meld back in seamlessly after they remove the hat obviously shouldn't frighten any guests, no sir." *grinning*
Thompson: "Sara's a fan of your sense of humour, so she's considering getting a scuba suit for the next time we go into combat."
Captain: "...you have me beat, sir."
Thompson: "An umbrella might be a better idea though, safer in my opinion..."
EDIT: Meanwhile, Yamato is buttmad over her umbrella not working to similar effect.

This. This right here is my childhood. And the music is certainly helping my muse.

Frontline for me. I played the hell out of that game. And Rising Sun.

Airborne was fun, it just lacks the grand musical scores the earlier games had.

The only WW2 game that I had as a child that I played a lot was Heroes of the Pacific.
It's music was meh, but the gameplay was fun.

I disagree. For example, the Operation Varsity and Sniper Showdown are some of my favorites. And, of course, Unblocking Utah.

Men of War. Assault Squad, Assault Squad 2 and a whole ton of mods.
And messing around with editing so that I can create huge defense networks.

My first WWII game was Red Alert 1. Yes, I do realize that's a bit off from our WWII.
For our WWII, MoH: Allied Assault was my first game.

Meh. I see your Microprose game and raise it to "Gato submarine simulator". Played in CGA, four colors, including black and white, and a resolution of 320X200.
And I'm only counting my oldest PC WW2 game. I don't remember if I played any WW2 themed games in my ZX-81 or ZX-Spectrum.

And the closest I got to a WWII game in my youth was Civilization III's Pacific War Scenario.

Then again, I have very fond memories of the original Axis and Allies...my cousins and I once spent all night gaming one weekend...
...and recently I picked up the Axis and Allies 1940 Europe and Pacific 2nd editions. And as much as I love WoWS and other WWII computer games, nothing is more satisfying as staring across a table at your opponent as you twist the knife...

Company of Heroes best WW2 game. Ever. Because sass.

Try Axis and Allies 1914. A competently played Austria-Hungary can cause such headaches for the the Entente players....
I had that, too, actually! But I never played it before playing the library's copy of Silent Service, partly because it was a very badly botched pirate job that didn't work right, and it wasn't until the 90s that I managed to get a non-borked version...
And if you're willing to go with non-PC, I had a game called "Kamikaze" for my TRS-80 Coco; it basically was a game of being an AA gunner on a carrier fighting off an endless wave of kamikazes.
