Had something in mind by the way...

I was thinking at first by the way of a loophole to include some Allied ships in the game.

In particular I was thinking of adding kanmusus from the Vichy French fleet - in the hopes of seeing the battleship Richelieu in action - since they had been an Axis ally up unril 1944.

But thinking as well that since most of its ships are either scuttled or turned over to Allied control by 1942 their inclusion to KC seems to be far from possible, not to mention them having only a short proven "track record".

On the other hand, as this is just my obervation and opinion, there are some other "ptential" (again, as this is only my observation) kanmusus from either the other Axis or neutral nations that can be included in the game.

For eaxample:

- Finland, an Axis power before 1944, had some fairly powerful coastal defense heavy cruisers such as the Ilmarinen and Väinämöinen with their arsenal of 10 inch guns.

- Thailand, also an Axis ally (though only active in the early stages of the war) also have 2 coastal defence heavy cruisers of the Thonburi class: Sri Ayudhya and Thonburi - though I think Thonburi might have her luck nerfed just like Mutsu because she had been severly damaged when fighting the French in 1941.

They even had the submarines Matchanu and Wirun - though their service record is really short.

- Sweden, though a neutral country, also had coastal defence ships. These are the Gustav V, Sverige, and the Drottning Victoria - all of them sporting 11 inch guns.

- Argentina, also a neutral country but leans mostly on the Axis side, has dreadnoughts: the Rivadavia and the Moreno.

So these are my suggestions -although there might be some factors such as effectiveness in battle, service record, and generally what most players would think about adding adding another battleship/cruiser/etc. in KC might be considered.
