A Jutland scenario would be most helpful. Any plans in the near future?
Another one that would be most welcome would be a hypothetical attempted breakout by the German Navy during the dark days of the last land campaign of 1918 in attempt to stave of the defeat.
Also, what are the plans for more WW2 scenarios?
Perhaps maybe in Grand Admiral bullpen instead, but would love to see a Pacific variant. Not a ton to start with. Here are 5 possibilities from wikipedia:
German naval actions
Retreat of the German East Asia Squadron In the Pacific
Scharnhost 's and Gneisenau 's path across the Pacific.
Chile and the Falklands
(This one covered)
SMS Emden in the Indian Ocean
The scuttling of SMS Cormoran at Guam
Some other possibilities would be German raiding on Merchant Ships near Japan, and Japan responding with a full scale hunt for German East Asia Squadron. That would add the entire IJN.
Another thought could be to develop a game around War Plan Black
One of the United States color-coded war plans, War Plan Black was the name of an American military plan to fight Germany in the early 20th century. The best-known version was conceived as a contingency plan during World War I in case France fell and the Germans attempted to seize French possessions in the Caribbean or to launch an attack on the eastern seaboard. The United States was to plant mines and have submarines on patrol at sites Germany might seize for a foothold in the Caribbean. The plan was revised in 1916 to concentrate the main US naval fleet in New England, and from there defend the US from the German navy.
An AAR? Hmm, My Russians ducked a long range salvo and we are attempting to cut off one of the Japanese Divisions from the other to defeat them in detail.
Carbs is working hard on more scenarios and we may do Dogger Bank next. Also considering the battle of Coronel. Any artwork you can provide really helps the development of the Mod. BTW, thanks for putting Castles of Steel on sale, I picked it up today.
Absolutely beautiful work. Thanks. Wish I could get to the conference.
Just picked up the game and it is an excellent what-if the Japanese and the Americans had battled it out in the Pacific in the 1920's. The quality of the game series continues to shine. Thanks MJ12 for the Naval games.
Here is a brief overview; Plan Orange was the U.S. Navy's contingency plan in the event of war with Japan. First developed following the First World War, when Japan was identified as the most likely naval opponent in a future war, the plan assumed that Japan would quickly seize control of most of the Philippines. The U.S. Navy would then launch a counteroffensive across the Mandates in the central Pacific with the goal of relieving Manila and blockading Japan. The plan was continually updated to reflect shifting alliances, improvements in naval technology, and the relative strengths of the fleets.
