Swizzle's Decks!

On to the Axis! First, I really don't like the Europa as made, because she really, really deserves a negative SA. I know we don't like those, but I can't stop myself on this one. She was very poorly designed and very top-heavy. It's okay for cruisers to be top heavy, but not for carriers. Unstable flight decks are even more scary than stable ones! (I know, trust me, I know!). So ... I slap Europa.

Now, I also never liked the Bismarck and Tirpitz cards. These ships really scared the Royal Navy at the start of the war, and in my eyes, should do so in the game. Yet, late-war they would have been vulnerable to the newer, more powerful battleships. I try here to get them into that balance.

Back to the Germans ... and 2 more ships that I believe deserve ALL the guns to be on the cards.

Another Italian Battleship that did not get her tertiaries until now ... and a planned conversion of the first class of Italian light cruisers! They were going to be completely re-armed with dual-purpose guns and become ... wait for it ... their version of the Atlanta/San Diego/Dido/Bellona!

Now to the land of the Rising Sun (or is it the land of the Setting Sun?). We start out with 2 World War I battleships (armored cruisers at best now!) that were converted and busy.

Remember those Higgins Boats? Well, here's my revised Daihatsu recost to match them, and the ship that carries them.

Okay, here I really went out on a limb. This is a pseudo-fantasy unit. It's a real ship, used by the Japanese Army. However, it is not a "historic" card. People have asked about a "Kamikaze Carrier", and unfortunately, history doesn't provide one for us. However, as these cards are "un-official", I give you a Kamikaze carrier, with specific changes to make Kamikazes more usable in late-war battles. Also, a "Kamikaze Air Strip" and 2 new Kamikaze planes that work together with synergy.
