Just so the rest of you know if you are doing challenge runs of your own you are free to post them here. So far my "no carriers" game is running quite well. I got annoyed about constantly being airstruck, so I relaxed the rules on myself a bit and changed it to "CVL are ok so long as they have only fighters upon them". With that constraint the game is very playable and my lack of carriers isn't a major problem. Does make for more interesting "late game" battle-line engagement because I'm usually engaging an intact enemy battleline whereas in a game with carriers the enemy fleet has usually suffered a lot before the battleships close the range. I'd generally say thumbs up on no carriers .

Some ship designs first. October 1910 War with France has begun, as i wanted. The lesson learned from this war is that BB/BCs are only really useful for the fleet points they give you and that fleet battles at this stage of the game are near useless. War lasted for 10 months and i got Algeria from them in the peace deal. 1915 War with Britain has begun, i did NOT want this. My greatest defeat so far, it started as a normal coastal bombardment where i found the target at early at night and destroyed it very quickly with zero resistance, then as we were retreating the enemy BCs showed up with escorts and the rest as they say is history. Luckily Britain surrendered in 12 months due to unrestricted submarine warfare causing the lost of hundreds of merchant ships. Thank god, they were invading Tanganyika and Libya and i couldn't do anything about it due to them blockading me. Nothings really happened after the war aside from me beginning the replacement of of my Bs to the new Ostfriesland class Battleship. Some final ship designs. I plan on converting some of the pre-dreadnoughts into CVLs.

Btw a fun challenge run as the USA is to lay down a minimum of 2 capital ships every year(B,BB,BC,CV)
It’s a great way to practice making budget ships and will leave you with a fun variety of classes to play with by forcing you to settle for less than you might usually wait for

Currently trying a run as Germany where Dock size cannot be manual increased, reliant entirely upon private industry increases. Have only achieved a single 500t boost so far...
Relying heavily on Germanys early armour and location benefits but can see things getting tricky in 5-10 years. Really hoping that I unlock better turret miunts much earlier this time round compared to my main play through.

Finally got a challenge run to 1950. Managed to beat Germany after around 15 months. Japan also went to war with me for 3 months. Germany apparently really hates me as they have gone to war with me again and I've been curb stomping them ever since. Behold, the most useless battle I've ever had to do, because not only did the game give me WAY to many ships to fight that CL but i also never even had to fight as it was sunk by my medium bombers. Seriously, talk about overkill. I could've won this one if my pilots knew what they were doing as i did not lose where he was due to radar. I was not aware there was a CV in this fight. I'm going to end this play through when the game has it's end in 1955.

Decided to end the game on January 1955. Finished the war with Germany then had a war with France and Italy beat them all. Japan decided to fight me as the same month i called it quits. Next run France- reverse all-forward firepower.

I had no idea you could even do that.
