Some neat ideas. I'm glad someone agrees with me that the Axis wasn't gonna win no matter how many super subs they got off the drawing board.

It is difficult to calculate how much your one sub influences the course or length of a war. After all, there are about on average 50 other US subs doing the same thing all over the Pacific. Plus, a myraid of air squadrons, destroyer flotillas, minefields, etc. Then there is whatever the enemy is up to in reaction. The Pacific War was just so big and complicated. I guess that's why I've also always had a fondness for some of the strategic-level games. You get to play with alternate ideas like the US using the Kuriles islands as a stepping stone forward from the Aleutians or maybe Japan setting up a proper convoy system from the get-go.
