Yeah, the 7th.

But we can give a salute to the Japanese leadership for thinking it was a great idea.

Then on the 7th we can laugh at them for trying.

Indeed, you are a few days early. I've been planning to mark the day myself by starting my first War in the Pacific campaign!

However it's also worth pointing out that 70 years ago today the Japanese fleet was already almost on station north of Hawaii and there wasn't much that would've stopped it. The wheels of history were about to turn...

Also important to remember - 70 years ago tomorrow (Dec. 5th), the first Soviet strategic counter-offensive was successfully launched, repelling the Germans from the gates of Moscow. A no less key moment in the course of the war.

I am happy a fella from Oz thought enough of another one of Britains children to hold a tribute.

Thanks!

Well that 'splains why I cant find it in GWX either.

That would be neat to see, that scripted into the game. Sneak into the harbor (or just sail in, its neutral) and watch the fireworks.
