I assume Germany gets a +1 3" gun this early because 88mm is ~3.5 inches.

And apparently that's what caused *both* flash-fires.

Oh... and if you meant "how did we get two flash fires from 88mm shells".... completely unarmored 13" guns.

Fyi.... taking a bit of a break. Work craziness and summer vacation IRL, and frankly a bit of RTW burnout. I've been playing and writing about it since ~August last year. I think a white peace (Sorry, spoilers...) after sinking 2/3 of the French fleet took a bunch of wind out of the sails.

I feel with you. Sank the whole RN in a fleet battle a few days ago, had 10:1 lead with blockade and then next turn white peace :-(

(Not complaining here, such things did happen historically).
