Just in Time for Christmas!
We are pleased to announce that the Cherry Tree Supplement is now ready for download, free to all registered General Quarters Third Edition owners.
The powerful superdreadnought designs scrapped by the Washington Naval Treaty of 1922 have long fascinated most of us. Now, Chris Cafiero has provided the means for you to explore how these Cherry Trees might have impacted history, if they had not been chopped down.
IJN:
battlecruiser Amagi
battleships Kii and Owari
battleship Tosa
U.S.N:
Constellation & Constitution
BB47 Washington
BB49 South Dakota
Royal Navy:
G3 class battlecruisers
HMS Anson, sister to HMS Hood
Chris first sets the stage with informative articles on the Japanese "8 – 8 Plan" and how a delayed, re-negotiated Washington Treaty could have resulted in agreements to complete additional ships. Then, Sudden Storm provides the perfect laboratory for exploring how the Cherry Trees would have fared in naval combat. New options provide two implementation levels, along with "what if" scenarios for clashes between the Royal Navy and the IJN or the U.S.N.
Cherry Tree ship logs are provided for three periods - 1925 as built, 1937 refits, and 1942 WWII upgrades - so you can add them to games in multiple decades.
Download and Enjoy!
