Femto-Griffith on May 13, 2026 2:02 am This strategy only works if you have more industrial or replenishment capacity than the opponent has attack capacity. Looking at you, 1st Punic War Rome (although pre-industrial but still counts) and World Wars USA.
Helmett-13 on May 13, 2026 2:41 am Yamamoto did some things exceedingly right, other things well, and absolutely hosed the deployment of submarines. They had superb boats and world-beating torpedoes and just…completely used them poorly. He’s one of my favorite historical figures. I’d have loved to sit down and absolutely fanboy the guy while trying to have a discussion.
