They could even add an order of banzai which would trigger all the AI on the map to attack and players. This could be given to the most experienced player on the team.

Greetings fellow historians! As you could have probably guessed, I mainly focus my studies on the Second World War. Recently, I have been thinking about if I was around back then, what I could have possibly done with the available resources and knowledge to help improve the outcome of a battle and minimize casualties. During the latter part of the Pacific war in late 1944 and 1945, Kamikaze attacks were causing serious damage and casualties to US warships. By the invasion Okinawa on April 1st, 1945, the Navy was fully aware and prepared as they could be to face the onslaught of suicide planes. However, there were some things I personally believe could have been done better or differently that may have saved lives and destroyed most of the planes before they reached the fleet. Here's what I came up with based on what was available in April 1945:
-Use anti-aircraft cruisers such as the Atlanta and Oakland class instead of just destroyers the most dangerous radar picket stations closest to Japan. Destroyers posted at these stations were subject to relentless attack, and many were sunk or heavily damaged, the most famous being the USS Laffey which took 6 Kamikaze and 4 bomb hits but maintained operation and survived. Using a bigger vessel with more AA firepower and better survivability such as an anti-aircraft cruiser or even a light or heavy cruiser could have minimized losses and shot down more planes.
-Filling up Independence-class light carriers only with F6F Hellcats and using them exclusively for fleet defense. The Independence-class were fast but only capable of carrying about a third of the planes of the Essex-class fleet carriers. Taking out the torpedo planes from these vessels and moving them to fleet carriers would not be a significant loss in striking power and would allow them to focus on defending the fleet. At this point, fighters were already making up the majority of carrier air groups for defense, and Marine F4U Corsair squadrons were now being deployed on board the Essexes. Personally I have always felt that these fighters with their superior performance and weapons payload should have been reserved for air-superiority and offensive roles, as they were capable of taking on the top Japanese fighters like the Ki-84, which was superior to the Hellcat according to some. By moving the extra Hellcats on to light carriers and reserving them to protect the fleet, they could free the Marines and other squadrons up for offensive roles while not com

I have experience playing 3.5, pathfinder, and WoD. Looking for a new group to join, I prefer longer story/role play campaigns. I can/have experience DMing but havenβt done it in a few years. (Sorry if I didnβt format the title correctly)
This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 28%. (I'm a bot)
> A massive crowd gathered in Okinawa on Saturday to protest the government's controversial plan to relocate a contentious U.S. air base to another part of the prefecture.
> People took part in the rally at a park in Okinawa's capital Naha, where they adopted a resolution urging the central government to abandon the plan to transfer U.S. Marine Corps Air Station Futenma from densely populated Ginowan to the coastal area of Henoko in Nago, according to an organizer.
> Onaga's son Takeharu, who is an Okinawa assemblyman, said in his speech during the protest that his father spent a lot of his time studying ways to block the base transfer to Henoko while he was hospitalized and receiving treatment for cancer.
> Deputy Gov. Kiichiro Jahana, the acting governor, reiterated his intention to continue the prefectural government's procedures, as instructed by Onaga, to retract the approval for landfill work for the base relocation that was given to the central government by Onaga's predecessor.
> Okinawa and the central government have already fought a number of times in court.
> Tokyo believes the base is necessary for Japan to maintain the perceived deterrence provided by the United States, while many in Okinawa regard it as an unfair burden on the prefecture.
