a japanese admiral in PTO II i think it was Nagumo, I had played since pre war and was working on taking midway, the Akagi was the flag ship of an 6 carrier fleet escorted by 2 destroyers and another 6 carrier fleet. after landing and holding midway and wiping out what i thought was the last of the american carriers, and really all fleets in the area, i had a round where i supplied my weary fleet (we had not made doc in 2 years) and did not scout, we were attacked by 2 squads of torpedo boomers and he went down with the flag ship, the only ship i lost, and i could not make the game not let him go down with it he gave a speech as the flag was transferred… so sad… i later found it was an escort carrier supported by a light curser and destroyer, they did not survive the next turn… before this loss i was going to let there be peace once i held hawaii, but due to this i took panama, and landed unsupported on the east coast surrounded DC and took every land base before taking DC and crushing the americans. I won in 43.
in that time the americans lost 14 carriers … i only ever lost one… it was on hard, and still remains my best campaign ever in that game, had a lot of lucky cards in the cabinet meetings
the Akagi & Nagumo, before being sunk, had destroyed 68 american warships ... and countless planes.
