The history channel or miltary channel had a show called Myths of Pearl harbour it was excellent. If you guys get a chance watch it. Very well done. They actually found the sub that we fired on with the shell hole in the turret. Kind a cool knowing that was the first shot fired in the Pacific conflict.
You can find it online here:

There’s also a decent doco out there about the midget subs that got into Sydney Harbour in an attempt to sink allied shipping. I can’t remember the name of it though.
tall paul,
thanks for reminding me…i was doubting my own facts(does not happen often.)
i think you saw the same documentay as me on the decovery chaned about the “fish tails”.
all i could reber was ARIZONA so i just took a shot at it (i missed :P)
or was it the histoy chanel… i can remember :P
cminke,
Yes, I’m certain it was the same show you’re talking about. I certainly NOT call it a documentary though. After reading about how the producers of that show intentionally deleted any and all evidence that conflicted with the SENSATIONALIZED program, I would call it what it is,…a TV show made simply for the ratings by sensationallizing (and falsely slanting) the story.
By the way, if you have even the slightest interest in the Attack on Pearl Harbor you should at least look at the Product Description and Reviews of it on Amazon Books,…even if you don’t buy it. It’s REALLY worth it’s price, though. Great Book!
Are you interested in the “Coach’s” Pearl Harbor game like I am? It sounds like it could be a very interesting game that might not ever have the same outcome. A bit refreshing if you ask me. And all of the COOL old Battleship in A&A scale! I hope we will all be able to “Climb Mount Tanaka” and have our very own “Tora, Tora, Tora” games soon(Hint, Hint, “Coach”).
“Tall Paul”
I think that should read “Mt. Nataka”. But at this point, I’m too tired to spell even my own name correctly. haha.
“Tall Paul”
Actually it was “Climb Mount Niitaka” :-)

Orizen,
You are ABSOLUTELY CORRECT. I mispelled the name. But I invite you to refer to the the next 14 words I typed.
Orizen, I’m actually thankful you corrected my spelling error because, as the serious student of History that I am, I want the correct info passed on to everyone. Thanks.
And I will again repeat my sincere request thatI hope the “Coach” will release his Pearl Harbor game soon,…or at least give us some updates on it.
Like I Say,……What Do YA’LL Think???
“Tall Paul”
ya coach!!
Tall Paul,
Wakarimasu! I was a little fuzzy myself and had to double check to make sure about that second “i” :-D
Do itashimashite.
I also echo your sentiments on the Pearl Harbor game and add a call for Coral Sea and Midway!

May I request you to make a new thread about your futurePearl Harbor game I don’t know where you are along with it, or how much time you have to devote to it,…but it seems that there would be enough interest in it to warrant a thread of it’s own so we could keep up with any developements. Thanks for listening.

I will,
I am very busy this week trying to ready for a 7 day vacation so no orders will go out after Friday morning for the next 8 days.
I need some time off, 80 hour work weeks are taking their toll on me. I will start the Pearl Harbor game thread when I get back.
I will also start the Axis Minor pre-order and give you more information on the next set after the U.S sculpts that I have already posted. The “Neutral” set will be done in 6 colors and will have some totally different pieces than you have seen so far. I will also be posting a poll for the next set.
“Coach”,
That’s GREAT news “Coach”. About EVERYTHING you mentioned. I sincerely hope you enjoy your vacation and put everything A&A out of your mind for a short while during your vac. It looks like several people are already looking forward to your P.H. game. Have FUN and we’ll hear from you soon.
“Tall Paul”
coach i admire you<3
how many pieces in each set?
i meant how many of each pieces are going to be in the set?
i meant how many of each pieces are going to be in the set?
(2) of each except (4) P-51 and (4) Airborne
Wow,
That would be:
2 Mack Trucks
2 CVE Escort Carriers
2 “Nevada” class Battleships
2 M-5 “Stuart” Light Tanks
2 Tank Destroyers
2 M-7 “Priest” Self Propelled Artillery(Mech Art.)
2 C-46 “Commando” Cargo Planes
2 P-40 “Warhawk” Fighters
2 B-25 “Mitchell” Medium Bombers
2 TBF Torpedo Bombers
4 P-51 “Mustang” Fighters
4 “Airborne” Infantry
This is going to be a GREAT set! I’m really looking forward to “Coach” returning from his well deserved vacation and accepting our pre-orders. I’m ready!
“Tall Paul”
Hmmm. I may have to end up ordering 10 of the US set. I was originally looking at 5 sets, but I will want more M-5s, Mack Trucks and M-7s for sure. Probably more B-25s and P-40s too.
KNP,
Ordering 10 sets would not only increase your potiential A&A “FUN FACTOR”, but by doing so would help fuel the “Coach’s” snowball for getting additional A&A unit/sets produced. As an A&A gamer myself I respectfully say THANK YOU for your support of these new units and by doing so making all of our A&A gaming more FUN.
Sincerely,
“Tall Paul”
