1935 HY1

1935 HY 1 is live.

Intent is for HY2 to start first weekend in December.

I'll probably have my 1/35 report up tomorrow.  I've got a bit of late tweaking to do.

For me, I'm stuck on what to build in 1935.
It seems likely either the Zemaka III or Dahae-T
But which?

I could lay them down with a disclaimer that I may change before completion if the IJN becomes available,
or more simply, If I delay the turns I may know by the New Year.

Foxy via Tac has made some indications of what the IJN may look like.
Fast light and similar to historical. Makes sense, I figured IJN designs would appeal to Foxy.

I am likely looking at Furutaka 8" cruisers, which both my new cruisers...and my Royal Nisseans would fare well against. While there will be lighter cruisers too, I don't have to worry about 9" cruisers etc.

The Amagi BCs sounds likely, but after them the IJN was looking at the B-65, so that might be out there as an AC/Light BC. It's very much a Foxy style design.
My current ACs match up ok against it, but the new Zemaka III would be excellent.

Tac said some version of the Amagi style BCs is likely- which fits the mold.
I won't have anything with it's size-speed combo. The closest will be the Dahae class which is a bit weaker, but they would both be vulnerable to each others guns. The Dahae-T would be a good match.

I'll try to get something out on Japan's actual specs.

RL has been nuts, going through a bit of a separation with the Missus.

My own 1935-2 plans are going to be interesting, as I have a lot of tonnage available and I'm not sure what I want to use it for.  Possibly just Submarines for a bit to build up that force with proper submarines. 

[The Rock Doctor]

Sorry to hear that, Tac.

[Kaiser Kirk]

Sorry to hear about that, never a fun place to be.
Worry about Real life first, game second.

As for the IJN, please don't view it as a commitment, more of a bonus distraction playground if you so choose.

Breakups are difficult moments to get through.
Life must go on.
Navalism is a good diversion to take your mind off things.

In fact, with the Navalism spirit:
"Love has lost a battle but has not lost the war"
