Re: Coastal Artilley
Why not must pull them? You guys define the scope of game so if it's beyond that scope, that's all there is to it. The river boats could go, also, IMO. It was designed as a top down, turn based, tactical recreation of land warfare, correct? There might be rare instances where such units did were involved during the war, but was it significant enough to warrant inclusion. Even in WinSPMBT, how often did the "Brown Water Navy" get tied up in company/battalion land battles in Vietnam?
With respect to the 12in Italian guns, first would any right minded force attack where they were present without neutralizing them first? It's not like they can be hidden that well. If their intent was to engage enemy warships, transports, etc., I question whether they would be capable of being depressed low enough to even engage a landing craft. With any fortification, if it was originally intended as anti-shipping, it doesn't seem like it should be in the game.
So, Don, Andy, when are you going to draw the line and say, "This is it" and move on to the next project?
