"Are we there yet?"

I did a little figuring trying to determine how long we have in "OTL Time" until the CT expires. Assuming no further delays...

...which I really hope we don't have...*

...we won't reach Q1/37 until February 2007! O_O

Aug-Sept: 1928
Oct-Nov: 1929
Dec-Jan: 1930
Feb-Mar: 1931
Apr-May: 1932
Jun-Jul: 1933
Aug-Sep: 1934
Oct-Nov: 1935
Dec-Jan: 1936

(* - yes, that is an 'ommminous hummmmm' you hear in the background there... ^_^ )


Will we be ready to start Q2/28 on the 15th?

1937? You're that eager to see me build something big?

I can live with that schedule. It's two weeks per quarter, which is pretty tough for some people as it is.

I'd better plan for some quiet times in late 1930 - baby's due about then.

Go for it. After I build Shah Jahan, I think India's done with battleships.

Bah. Nothing's happening.

Unless somebody's got Q1 news in the works, I'll be posting my Q2 report tomorrow sometime.

Chile is Go.

I've got nothing to add to Q1, but I have many things to do in Q2.

I suppose we could move to Q2, I have some news but posting it along with Q2 news makes things easier, I don't have to search for news idea's.

nothing really important happening in Dutch Q1's report. There are some things, but they can be published in a joint Q1-Q2 report with no problem

So I'm ready to move on, too.

I'm ready for Q2, the big thing will be writing up the Arctic expedition. I've got another round of "lets burn out the back of my eyeball with a 50 gigajoule death ray" in a couple hours, so it will probably be over the weekend or early next week before I post. I'm also going to be investigating the stock market crash. Most of my reading to date seems to argue that it was inevitable. I'm not sure how much Wesworld is different from the real post-WW1 economy. Economics was never my strong point in school...

If the crash happens, it'd have global implications. I'd play it out.

If the US stock market crashes, the Japanese stock market will shoot through the roof (certain financial groups will make sure of that).
Of course the reverse is true as well...

Stock market crashes, Filipino politics, Treaty fights. This will be an interesting year.

You forgot about the large meteor heading our way (Wesworld way that is). An unfortunate problem caused by a failed test run of professor Tomoe's prototype weather machine .

Actually I think they deturmined that one did strike in 1930 over Brazil.

As for the 200 mile hole....it was probably one of Walter's Kongos testing out their new Wave Motion Guns from orbit (they were converted to space battleships then?) ;)

Another newb question, but since I keep seeing running jokes about disappearing Kongos and their possibile whereabouts, and I find Japan's battlecruiser section is noticably vacant....Someone mind filling me in?

AWNR Japan
10/20/1920

- Still no sign of the Lost Fleet after 5 years.
- Still no sign of Onishi in Coldmere either.
- Highly skilled pilot joins Kido Butai.
- Fate of the Mikasa, Kawachi, Katori and Shikishima.
- Final slip at Yokosuka upgraded.
- Construction of Nagato and Mutsu.


- Still no sign of the Lost Fleet after 5 years.

Six years ago, October 20, 1915, a Japanese battle group consisting of four battlecruisers – Kongo, Hiei, Haruna, and Kirishima – and an 24 ship escort group, left Hakodate on a secret mission. They never returned back to Japan. Five years later, it is still not known what has happened to the ships. Admiral Tsudashi Aota, the only person who knew their destination besides the battle group commander and the captains of the ships, died under mysterious circumstances 20 days after the ships left. No documentation was found regarding the mission of the battle group.

Space Battlecruiser Kongo

They've kind of become the Japanese wild card. Ships they should have, but don't....but no one knows what happened to them (and entire task group, gone!) So speculation ranges from them being lost at sea, to being held in a secret reserve base to be sprung at the right time, being captured or sunk by another nation that is not claiming to have done anything to them at all, they turned pirate, or where dealt with by the pirates of the Pacific in some fashion.

But in the end....they are just gone.
Walter's got them stashed!
