Bah Humbug! A big smack to all those unfortunate enough to be caught onboard an Allied vessel when I'M on the pond. I'll be sure to put an end to your misery as quickly as my mighty Tegetthoff can. Don't worry, you're Hole-ier than thou attitude will be quite appropriate when I hand back the pile of matchsticks that used to be an Allied "warship." And before I forget, a big smack to all you Axis out there! Did I just write that? You won't even know what hit you when I'm on the pond! The brave Konteradmiral who has led numerous Axis squadrons to victory in every campaign game since 2005? Your slimy sea slug garbage scows won't even scratch the paint on the Invincible! What am I talking about? My .177" Excali-Balls will rip through your puny balsa like tissue paper! Wait a sec, Invincible's 12" guns fire 7/32" ball bearings, not .177... Von Der Tann, Derfflinger, Bismarck, even the Yamato, with twice as many units as me, shall fall! BBs instead of ball bearings? UNITS? Sink the BISMARCK!? Not only am I turning fast-gun, I'm turning ALLIED!? Search your feelings, youflorglePOO! SHUT UP! I repressed you long ago, you Fast-Gun Allied schwein! hurkle! Go back to the shadow from whence you came! YARRgle blort!!! Leave now, and never come back! ***And everything was right in the universe when the Axis once again annihilated the scummy Allied dirtbags***
Come back Gascan, come back to the light and freedom of the glorious allies! Shun the darkness of the evil axis, return to the good! There is a hearty soul buried deep within you, smell the rum, the cordite, the heady aroma of nitrate dope and move into the light! You KNOW you want to.....
Smell the cordite? It was cordite that sent the historical Invincible to the bottom! I'll never go Allied! Those lily-livered lemurs make it too easy to blow up their ships! Patience, Precious, patience. We must bide our time. The glue on the subdeck has set, and there are only a few months left until it is our time again...
OK, you need to back off a bit on the nitrate dope, clear your head, get yourself sorted out and go Allied.
We are the Axis. Disarm your weapons and surrender your ships. Your ships and technological developments will be added to our own. Resistance would be amusing...
Which of course, explains why the Allies have Enterprise, Voyager, Defiance, Constitution, Etc, etc.....
The Allies need to rely on on a Frenchman, Jean-Luc Picard, to tell them how to beat the Axis vessels (a la First Contact)...
At the Maker Faire, we did have one ship that sank in shallow water and the skipper could still control his ship. He could fire his guns underwater, and the gas released from the MPA-3 actuator would fill the ship up with air and it would rise to the surface. Upon breaching the surface, the bubbles would escape, and the ship would descend back down. He actually hit another ship firing underwater after he'd been sunk. Unfortunately it bounced off without leaving a mark, but I saw it with my own two eyes.
Not to get slightly off topic, When I get my Indiana finshed the superstructure will be the float and will have a short length of chain or fishingline that keeps the deck within six inches of the surface, probly more like 2 if I were to have the super structure be locked down on the deck
Lets just be clear though, the only part of Allied technological developments we Axis would want to use are the props...well not really, OK the guns...now that you mention it, no, well there is always the............UM.................HMM.............................. WOW, I can't think of a single Allied crap, scow , junk, trash part that is worthy of going in an Axis boat. I guess we will use them as targets - just like we do NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! J
Fool! Do not interrupt our smack-talk with reality! Hehe, good one, Mr. Smarty-pants Axis Admiral guy... You again! Don't make me repress you again, you scummy Allied dirt-bag! Don't hurt me, don't hurt me! That's better...
