A Bombs

Instead of an old Movietone newsreel of the Enola Gay banking right, how about we have an explosion on the actual game board, say a big version of what artillery does? Also, I think there could be some better coordination between the kinds of planes and the rondels on their wings. We have a few examples where the plane does not match the picture, too. 8o

I like the idea!

Id also like to see a nuke rocket for nuke explosions rather the bombers

and maybe a video clip, of a naval ship finish production or something?

for nuke battle ships?

I think the newsreel is fine as is, personally. At least with the reel you can watch it even if you do miss the bombing. Which is nice.

Best go find one in black and white then.

I don't like this idea, especially since their never was a nuclear powered battleship. Maybe for the CVN and SSN instead?

Look, when a ship is launched it is not fully complete. So it is silly to show a vid for a fully built ship when you have a vid of an incomplete ship. That is why I suggested CVN and SSN, both may not be complete but they do look the part.

I like this idea, but they should add more movies for Carriers and such, and maybe ones that report on battle casualties.

You can already see numbered casualties and battles in the World Herald.

I figured you'd come along...

I was already present.Ignore what was originally said, I loathe that character.

Yes, it's always good to debate ideas. :)

Quasi just abuses others ideas.. not even debating, and struggles to A) come up with a reason or B) Have any half decent ideas..

but that part B) I was kinda of wrong, we both came to conclude on an idea for once. An idea we both agree on?... what?

yea well.. SURPRISE!

And in what way Am I being far out.. Quasi is always far out.. they only one here that was against Ireland on world map...

even do it would be at a disadvantage.. it would still be fun.. we know you dont like challenges and the game easy.. but it doesnt work that way..

Good idea.
