After significant engagements, RtW2 prompts the player to name the battle. (RtW did this too.) Is there a list of battles available somewhere?
I'd like to follow the American practice of naming some CVs after historical battles. If the real life USN had won an apocalyptic victory against the Russians off North Carolina in 1907, I think it's a safe bet they would have named a heavy carrier after it. Trouble is, I can't remember what the battle got named.

They show up in the timeline section of the post-game summary.

You get a list in the resignation screen, but you can't access it while playing I don't think.
It must be stored somewhere though...

Check under your ships sunk tab, if you lost ships in the engagement, it should appear there instead of North American East Coast.
If you didn't lose ship, no easy way, you might be able to search through the save .dat file in a text editor.

Figured out how to do it. You can just resign and manipulate the save files to continue the game. Here's the workaround in more detail, for anyone who isn't familiar from RtW: - Make a backup of your save file.
- Resign so you can see the timeline with the battles on it.
- Exit the game.
- Delete the save file in that slot.
- Put the backup save file into the slot.
- Restart the game and continue.
As an aside, resignations being permanent and irreversible is an example, IMHO, of a bad game design choice. It doesn't add much to the game and it's trivial to get around. There are perfectly good reasons to want to resign at will and then continue the game after. Making resignation permanent just gets in the player's way, or adds a couple of extra steps if using the workaround.
Continuing from 1932, I need more CV decks, so I just laid down a class of four 38,000 ton units: USS Folly Beach, USS Elliot Islands, USS Rochebonne, and USS Biscay. |

Or you can open the file RTWGame#.bcs in a text editor, find the line GOR=1, change it to GOR=0, save the file, and load the game as if you never retired/resigned.
They're recorded at the end of the RTWGame#.bcs file - look for a section headed [Stats] - but it's a bit difficult to read through quickly as it appears as though it's where the game records all the statistics that show up in the post-game summary screens month-by-month rather than segregating each set of information into separate lists.
