Are you participating the Battle of the Philippine Sea and which side are you joining?

The battle was s decisive engagement between the Imperial Japanese Navy and the United States Navy which cemented the course of the War in the Pacific.

Whether you choose the USA or Japan, your efforts will not only contribute towards the the completion of a mission but the Admiral also has rewards that await a victorious campaign.

USA or Japan, which side do you choose when you set sail for the Battle of the Philippine Sea?

"One's judgment is best when he can forget themselves and any reputation they may have acquired and can concentrate wholly on making the right decisions." - Raymond Spruance, U.S. Navy

Have you seen "Man in the High Castle"? It's an eerie look at what you just mentioned.

I also picked Japan as I look at it as a challenge to hit the higher thresholds for greater rewards.

Good luck in battle!

Always up for good ideas! What do you have in mind?

The results won't be tallied until the end so it won't be visible to the Fleet during the engagement period.

I see on your profile you chose the US Fleet and you received a Sierra Mike signal on 06/20/19.

This cruiser?

Sendai class?

Sometimes posts get archived or re-purposed, in the case of Flag-O-Rama after the winners are posted, and the browser may or may not bring up the correct URL.

I also chose the IJN only because I wanted to challenge myself with the higher XP goals. Although I did play some US ships during the engagement but overall it was good sorties in my IJN DDs, CAs, BBs, and even a CV game!

We're still tallying up the totals, we should have the lists ready by Friday!

Will keep you posted when I have the information ready!
