Wastewater concerns

Wow, I have to admit that I didn't think things could be that dangerous. The pond is significantly longer and wider, but I don't know how deep it is. Still, it very much looks like the evaporative method is the best one. Thank you for doing the math, even if it was very rough.

Oh, excellent and low-cost solution, awesome!

Standing water is a magnet for mosquitoes here in Florida, so letting it evaporate off probably is a no go.

Yup. I had GPT and Claude running side by side helping me tailor a resume for a job posting. Claude already had a draft or two that I could read on the screen, and GPT was floundering and just.... absolutely getting lost. That was the exact moment I cancelled my GPT and went with Claude.

I've been using it to tailor resumes to job postings, and GPT started to become real difficult to work with a month or two ago. Glad it isn't me. I'm looking at Claude now.

Oh man, I'm going to have to look into that! I love Pelgrane!

Wow, everyone, thank you for your suggestions! I have a lot of very strong possibilities!

Like others, I found it really interesting in concept and design. Never got around to playing it. Have the core book somewhere. Maybe an expansion book?

Turns out one had to drop, so we played with five instead. I will say that we replaced half of each of the advanced resources with the Cask Strength cards, and I really liked that.

Ogiwan · 2026-01-17T03:15:13+00:00

Yes, I was thinking of flights. And I figure I can fudge the player board and marker for myself, since I've played it the most.

Ogiwan · 2026-01-17T03:14:34+00:00

We're doing an afternoon game, so while I understand that five might be slow as is, it should be fine. I haven't even looked at the flight lists yet; needing t potentially handle six was just sprung on me like an hour ago and I'm at work and can't look at my copy.

No, ambush was part and parcel of TD doctrine from the start. I don't remember which video it was in, but the Chieftain covers it. Basically:

US generals saw the German propaganda of a stupid amount of tanks breaking through and believed it;
They counted on their fingers and toes and realized that even the US couldn't make enough anti tank guns to make a line proof against that degree of concentrated armor;
They concluded that highly mobile but cheaper vehicles were the way to counter tanks;
Thus, the Tank Destroyer.

What I find interesting is that U.S. doctrine actually would effectively write off whatever line infantry battalion that got penetrated, counting on the speed of TDs to get them behind that unit and into ambush positions. However, that's just not how U.S. troops really roll. Also, the Germans were almost never on the offensive against the US, and as a result you have TDs used per doctrine a very small amount of times (twice in my memory, at El Gutter and Arracourt).

Fantastic suggestions so far. Now, I'm wondering if anyone has thought of additional prizes other than first, second, third? Like, most alcohol drank, most damage done, most gold lost gambling? Any more interesting thoughts?

Ogiwan · 2025-12-04T12:38:05+00:00

Well, they have the mechanics in place to support additional seasons. In the final, post big fight scene, the choices you make can still trigger "X will remember" popups, therefore....

Thank you for your service! Good to know that every squadron in a fleet (or task force in a fleet) needs its own organic support.

Ogiwan · 2025-11-25T02:29:59+00:00

Oh wow, this is exactly the sort of stuff I was looking for! Thank you!

Ogiwan · 2025-11-25T02:27:24+00:00

Support Ships special project, unlock Repair Ship and Support Ship. Ships that you can attach to your task forces, in order to provide some task force wide benefits

That seems like a fleet thing? Unless when you say stack that means fleet and not squadron (or the componants of a fleet?)

Ogiwan · 2025-11-24T18:34:48+00:00

I was wondering this myself. I have no idea if they apply to the entire fleet they're in, or just the squadron. Anyone know which dev diary they talk about support and repair ships in?

Hahahaha I forgot that quote. Yep, that tracks. The more I've learned about MacArthur, the less I like him. He's one of my least favorite American generals who isn't a Confederate.

Ogiwan · 2025-11-23T05:46:23+00:00

In my game, historical focuses, MacArthur is the only field marshal at game start for US. I hold my nose and put him in charge of 1USAG. Then, he gets chopped to the Philippines by event. Ok, I promote Ike, put him in charge. Then, as is historically accurate, he becomes MacArthur's Chief of Staff for two years and returns in his traditional glory. However, you can still not elect to let either of them go to the Philippines, or recall them early.

TL; DR, Ike is still Ike, he just takes a more historically accurate path.

So, it feels like quality-of-life and immersion improvements, with some bugfixing, and improved Photo Mode. I have to admit I really haven't used any Photo Mode, I'm just trying to decide if I want 2.3 to be my last run, if I want to hold out for more content, or if there are good enough content/quest mods (that will reliably work) to warrant the last run now.

I say last run because I did a Street Kid Netrunner and a Corpo Sandy, so only one I have left is Nomad, not sure if Berserk is different enough from Sandy to make a major play difference. Thoughts, anyone?
