Drop the middle turret and add like 5 more inches of turret armor too.

Hey just pointing out, if we start a war as quickly as we can we lose the stupid restrictions.

I think we won that war, given how we took literally all of Great Britain's important overseas possessions. Only thing we didn't take was Singapore.

It's pretty weird that you get to keep possession the Army invaded even if you lose the war catastrophically. Come to that, as the victors of the war shouldn't GB have had the option to enforce territorial demands? Did they take anything? I think I missed it if I did. Also just as important - to think, if we'd won this war we could have permanently crippled the Royal Navy once and for all with a terrible treaty limitation!

The important question here is if we have access to oil or not?

Basically, we won, and then imposed the treaty on ourselves. "Zut alors, you Rosbifs are such walkovers! Now that the Mediterranean is Notre Mer, you are no challenge whatsoever! Here, have a couple of our finest ships, we'll hold off building anything else larger than a cruiser, and maybe you will not be so pathetic next time, hein?

Arglebargle III posted:I still don't think you can build a CA that can survive an encounter with a BC. All you can do is make it fast enough to run. But CAs don't exist anymore. You don't need a heavy cruiser to kill a light cruiser. So what is this ship for? Why not just build a large CL for 1/3 the cost of the CA? You can even get large guns on a large light cruiser. Are you seriously trying to go through this again? There're still plenty of CAs. Anyways, go design a ship if you want to put something up instead of complaining at me.

There is only 3 years left in the "normal" game, I assume Grey will be stopping there instead of dragging it out to 1950?

Yeah, I'll be winding this up then - the game's not really designed to go longer, thats just what people requested. So, how are we doing for this time around? the board looks pretty quiet.

The ending to Jutland still pisses me off. Grey blasted the Royal Navy and had Britain blockaded but because they technically had more ships hiding in their harbors still they won because of the broken victory conditions.

No you are thinking of Steam and iron. Jutland was another game Grey did a while back. Grey should hit up Jutland again, so as to remove the stigma from his name.

What are tensions like? That will tell us pretty much if going to war with someone is viable - I wouldn't try Britain again, for example.Crowsbeak posted:I would like to third this with the Beat up on Italy act It requires Grey to go to war with Italy ASAP. We will use our destroyers and cruisers to ruin their fleet. You really can't pick and choose who you war with. It requires specific events that you'd have to be lucky to obtain. Also put your board in the "Proposed By" field instead of your name.

Les Imbéciles proposes the following new cruiser design: Modern Light Cruiser Initiative Build a new class of CL, with a minimum of 6 ships and a maximum of the Admiral's discretion, to the following specifications: - 8000 tons - 30 knot top speed, oil fired - all or nothing "Flat Deck on Top of Belt" armor configuration - 2" belt, conning tower, turret face, and turret top armor - 1.5" deck armor - 0" secondary armor - three double 8" turret main armament, with at least 120 rounds, increased elevation - eight 6" secondary armament in single turrets - best fire control, two positions - two broadside swivel torpedo launchers per side, maximum size available If tonnage remains, - increase deck armor to 2" - add a fourth double 8" main turret - add torpedo launchers - add secondary guns - add up to 50 mines - add tower armor Sample Design: If we can cram 2" deck armor I'd be overjoyed but it's basically not possible if we're using dual turrets like we should be. Frankly, I'd be surprised if we got these into a battle before game end, but we definitely won't be getting BBs to market before 1925 so they're probably the quickest shipbuilding improvement we can make, and we need to start them right now.
