Quoted Ah, wondered where you'd been off to! I sent you some PMs and emails looking around for you - did you receive any of them? Because of the way the board registers new messages, I've not stayed logged in during my leave of absence, so I only got them when I came in to clarify the situation.
Congratulations to Parador, HoOmAn and Earl! Apologies that I've been MIA these last months, my workload has been higher than anticipated. If Earl wants Nordmark back, there'd be no objection from here. IMHO he'd be able to do a better job of it than I. Ironically, it's liable to be the beginning of April before I'd be able to get stuck back into it anyway, but I'll try and get the missing two quarters caught up. The Q1/1940 report has been 80% written for several months now, so I can get that f...
Nordmark notes that the request of the Afghani and Bharati delegations is not, in fact, for a peacekeeping force, but for a peacemaking force. This, in the view of the Nordmarchian ambassador, is not the purview of the League of Nations. Nordmark would be willing to send a force to oversee the peaceful withdrawal from western Afghanistan of Persian nationalist forces. However, Nordmark will not attempt to compel this withdrawal. Accordingly, Nordmark votes Nay to the current request.
Quoted Originally posted by Hood If you claim those islands as Canadian surely they are internal waters? The DEI would face similar problems otherwise. In RL, most of the world considers the Northwest Passage to form an international strait, which gives non-Canadian vessels the right of passage. Canada doesn't accept this viewpoint, and apparently not in WW either. It's only really an issue if the Northwest Passage is passable, or if someone has nuclear submarines.
Quoted Originally posted by Red Admiral I'm not sure what this severe weather is. We had a few inches of snow for a few days last week and it's got to about -2° sometimes. I'm just glad its not raining all the time like last winter. I'm not so sure either, although it did reach -14° in Glasgow on Wednesday morning and we had about six inches of snow in the city centre on Monday. Unfortunately, it's thawing now, and that's when the real problems come.
Quoted Originally posted by Red Admiral Quoted Originally posted by RLBH You'd think that by the last year of my studies, I'd have figured out that there's a lot of coursework at the end of the semester. I figured you'd be one of those chaps currently trying to break into the Treasury rather than doing this studying lark. The accepted viewpoint in my department is that those who have time to protest at this time of year, clearly aren't doing sufficiently difficult degrees, so their courses shou...
Apologies that I've been MIA for a while, real life has rather intruded. You'd think that by the last year of my studies, I'd have figured out that there's a lot of coursework at the end of the semester. Fortunately, I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, and should be in a position to get up to date in about a week and a half; over the holidays, I'll try to build up a buffer as well.
Quoted Originally posted by HoodCool monster German tank, I'd love to see Bruce build one. Just for awesomeness. Probably only goes 2mph and can't cross any bridges but hey it has a big gun and two FlaK 88s! Those things? I think those are actually the secondary battery. Of 15cm artillery. Why? Who knows, it makes about as much sense as an 80cm artillery piece in the first place. Nordmark doesn't intend to play with big, heavy tanks; having a country composed primarily of lakes, mountains and b...
Quoted Originally posted by Hood Could the Sqaudron make Bahia Blanca on the 17th May? That is national Navy Day and it might make a big celebration a little bigger. As usual Chilean and Brazilian warships are welcome to attend the festivities across the nation's ports. If the South Africans don't mind the squadron leaving Montevideo early, that can be arranged. HoOmAn, Brock: the Nordmark encyclopaedia is horrendously out of date, and updating it is on my to-do list. The current Folkunga Lion ...
Nordmark can offer the VL Pyry trainer and the Saab 17 dive/light bomber, with delivery of the first aircraft within 60 days of contract award. The Saab 18 medium bomber is scheduled to fly later in 1940, and is offered to the medium bomber requirement with deliveries beginning in 1941.
Would that even be workable? In effect, it would mean that we'd have to have a distinct usergroup for each country in the game. Which is lots.
Quoted Originally posted by ShinRa_IncI suppose if we're being used as a reference, we're notable enough to qualify for our own wikipedia article. You clearly don't know many wikipedians. They're obsessive about notability, and just making stuff up won't cut it. Never mind that we've been making it up here in great detail for a very long time, it's just a bunch of anoraks making things up on the internet. As opposed to a group of anoraks who use their free time trying to perfect a complete ency...
Some attractive ships there, I do like 'proper' cargo ships. These modern bulkers and boxships may make good economic sense, but they don't have much soul.
Believe it or not, refit rules should do that quite nicely, if they were finer. You really need to be bringing a ship into drydock every 30 months at least - probably annually - for the WesWorld timeframe. This is the real reason we have so many docks, and none (few?) of us bother. A minor refit (2.5%) every 2.5 years, else the ship has performance and reliability issues, would cover upkeep quite nicely.
Quoted Originally posted by HoOmAn "Equal to or greater" is fine for me, although I personally tend to read it as "greater". But seriously, what difference is there between 24kn and 24,01kn? It's not likely that the log is even accurate to one-one hundredth of a knot. You probably won't even be able to tell the difference on the measured mile....
Quoted "Ah, Gaudalcanal Sir, Yes a lot of stuff is going there. Cranes, rollers, concrete mixers, cement, steel matting. Those over there are going next week Sir. Should be an easier job to do if you don't have to drive the enemy off the field first.
The Astore actually looks remniscient of a Canberra to me.
That's an interesting design of bomb. Will Iwo Jima cease to exist (at least in any useful form) soon?
King Carl XVI Philip of the Nordmarchian Empire extends his congratulations to Herr Adenaur.
Quoted Originally posted by BruceDuncan It is probably a blessing in disguise that the ship requires such a long build time. Given its draft, I think that much dredging will be required in Kure harbor before she can be worked out of the yard with any level of safety. Similar concerns might apply to other Japanese harbors. Dredges anyone? Never mind harbours, some of the bigger VLCCs and VLOCs need so much water that some of the world's sea lanes aren't deep enough. This isn't so bad with the St...
