HMS Warspite

I suspect that AirGriff has a bounty out on the Warspite in my game after the drubbing she just gave him. The Warspite is a very nice ship with radar and great starting XP.

I don't know if this has been mentioned here, but http://www.dreadnoughtproject.org/tfs/i ... /Main_Page is a great resource.

WWI ships were generally unattractive (but the Queen Elizabeths - even then - were flippin' gorgeous)

I fondly remember the ship images in Avalon Hill's Jutland.

Good thing for the Warspite the Japs don't get any of these babies in the game:






Sorry I had no idea the image would this huge....obviously shoulda resized it.[X(]

[AllenK]

I guess this example of poor Allied play from World in Flames won't go down too well then [:D]

Why? As The Grand Old Lady proved during the real thing, she can handle it [:)]

Has Bullwinkle been playing MWIF as the Allies? [:D]

[AllenK]

Not so much "playing" as bungling as the allies.

To be fair to the Grand Old Lady, the new pride of the Italian fleet is performing as well under her new colours as she normally does for the Royal Navy.

Sounds like you play the Allies in MWIF as competently as I do AllenK [;)]

With HMS Warspite now batting for the other side I feel an automatic Axis victory is about to happen [8D]

[AllenK]

Well, uncannily, ever she was repaired and put into service by the Italians, the axis have had a marked turnaround in fortune. I wonder how many MWIF games there have been where the axis have recaptured France and Stalingrad having lost them in 42.

Re-taken France? The Allied player must be rubbish [;)] Mind you, the Axis player sounds like a bit if a dingbat too! [:D]

[AllenK]

Yep, both equally terrible! Hold on, what am I saying? This is a solitaire match...

By the way, I'm glad you are writing your excellent AAR 's again. Really enjoy reading them. They've taught me all I know [:D]

Touché! [;)]

Warspite1,

Are you still blathering on a full week later about this old tub? Goodness, man-find a hobby that you're good at. Clearly not World in Flames...[:'(]

warspite1

No, definitely not World In Flames [:(].... um...something I'm good at? [&:] I must confess I'm struggling here... oh I know, I have been known to put on a rather successful beauty pageant or two. You may of heard of them - they are held under the banner "Australian Beauties" and run in the thicky General Discussion forum [:)]

Anyways, back on topic, has it been a full week? Ironic isn't it that a thread designed to disparage one of history's finest, most celebrated fighting vessels (and the officers and men that fought with her) has been one of the most visited and posted on in this forum in the last few weeks?

Apart from a couple of posters [8|], the remaining posts have been supportive of this fine ship - as I would have expected from the calibre of the majority of contributors to this forum. Regardless of nationality, most of us can appreciate fighting vessels with proud histories such as HMS Victory, HMS Ark Royal, USS Enterprise, USS Constitution, and HMS Warspite - for her sterling service in two World Wars (and of course her gorgeous looks [;)] - rightly has a place among such [&o].
