Yes, in this alternative, the Japanese lost the war. If You are wondering, when more time, I try to translate into English description of the Battle of Tsushima.

But the language I know is very bad, sorry

Impressive work.

It's not so bad as to be unreadable. I've understood everything you've said so far. Your online translator must be pretty good. Your sentence structure is the only thing which hasn't translated over - and I've yet to find an online translator that can manage such a feat reliably.

In any case (our forum software doesn't seem to like Cyrillic letters):


(I hope that's correct! In English it should be "Greetings! Pleased to meet you!")

No problem.

Yes, there it is

And I can put here the ships that do not belong to the World Tsar Michael? I have them just for myself to paint.

You can put whatever drawings you please here.

Thank you.
On these ships, I did not impose the shadows. Lazy, it is painstaking work

I tried to imagine what might look like a French dreadnought, made on the model of old battleships.

I sure would be nervous with those big wing turrets!

Spoiler tags? No, our forum software doesn't provide spoiler tags, sorry.
