Ships in the new supplement

[Soulmage]

I was watching another excellent "Dogfights" episode on the History Channel today re: Kamikaze attacks. Told quite a tale about the explots of the U.S.S. Laffy (DD 724) an Allen M Sumber class destroyer.

Are the Allen M Sumner class destroyers in the new supplement? What are their gun attack dice like?

The three dual-mount 5" guns seem so much more intimidating for some reason than the 5 single-mount 5" on a Fletcher. Is there going to be any game stat difference?

Also, watching (and later reading) about some of the exploits of the USS Laffy makes me think there should be some hard-core AA capability on this class of ship. Is that the case?

Incidentially, I now have Death of the Japanese Navy (Leyte Gulf - Taffy 3 engagement and subsequent sinking of the Yamato), Hunt for the Bismarck, and Kamikazis saved on my DVR. Need to find a way to burn them to DVD. They are excellent shows with amazing CGI work that really captures the excitement. If you get a chance to see them I highly recommend it. If you happen to be in Central Illinois, let me know and you can stop by and watch them on my home theater system!

Soulmage, the gentleman who made my avatar has done CGI work on the Dogfights series. It's "his" Yamato that you are seeing.

You just gotta love that Yamato and Musashi, you know? Talk about "Heavy Metal"! 8)

Well, my wife is pretty freakin hot (and a gamer to boot) but she's the only one here all the time. I can make it a point not to invite any others over to the house while you are here. Is that safe enough?

OMG!! If I had skillz like that I'd spend all my free time just making ship models to zoom around on my desktop and blast each other! LOL!! I guess though that once you do that thing for a living its hard to just sit back and enjoy what you've created without looking through the eyes of the maker.

you need to get a hard disk recorder that has a DVD-burner in it. I use one by Philips that I picked up a while back.
Also, I recorded that "death of the Japanese navy also very cool stuff!!
