Selecting a target is resolved immediately before firing, so it is the firing itself, but just resolved at a weird time

My parents still have my old RC one. It was like 15 inches long

Posted some Ultimate Admiral shit, if people are interested, I'll play out the campaign with periodic updates.

France 1900: Still bearing the scars of the War of 1870, France draws some comfort in the Marine Nationale's victory over the German fleet in the Battle of the Dogger-Strait. This victory highlighted issues however, that the French sought to remedy with the Nouveau Siècle de la Marine.

The diminutive Bourrasque-Class (1900) is the most compromised of the Nouveau Siècle de la Marine designs, trading the originally designed 139mm guns for 120mm, and halving her torpedo armament due to the limited availability of dockyard which could construct 900+-tonne vessels.

The La Motte-Picquet class Protected Cruiser (1899) is somewhat unique in it's design. Her 'All-Little-Gun' design is coupled with an impressive battery of torpedoes, combining the protected and torpedo cruiser into one class. Her impressive 7-gun broadside outmasses most contemporaries with 6" guns

The Armoured Cruiser Dupleix (1894) was the first of the Marine Nationale's warships built as part of the Nouveau Siècle de la Marine. Her main armament was revised down from 240mm to 194mm to trim the design, introducing a third turret to compensate, resulting in the first true superfiring guns.

The Danton Class (1900) was a French Semi-Dreadnought from the Nouveau Siècle de la Marine building programme. Her individual fire-directors proclude her classification as a Dreadnoguht despite her all-big-gun armament. While not the largest ship in the water, she is the most expensive and capable.

Oh yeah, I didn't realise she'd actually been completed. But was ordered as Dreadnought was hitting the water. So she would be disqualified from being the first all big gun ship regardless

The Japanese had designed her, but never ended up building her. The French had a design for an all big gun Danton, but it would have been 2 twins and 6 single turrets. They ended up replacing the singles with twin 9.4" guns

It was the USS South Carolina

An additional note on her design: the All Big Gun design had been attempted before, with the Japanese, Americans, French and British all drafting designs beforehand, but what set Dreadnought apart was her central fire director, allowing her to make full use of her uniform ballistics.

An interesting note on Steam Turbines is that the USN didn't adopt them until I believe the Arizona, meaning most of their dreadnoughts still used coal-fired boilers hence their sluggish speeds, being some of very few to do so.

Maybe I should do another Ultimate Admiral playthrough and post updates here...
I have to figure out what is up with the AI aggression because in the final patch they avoid war like the plague and just keep trying to pay you off.

Oh yeah, be careful when you're close to them, they can move

Yeah, let's give Sam Altman access to our medical records, what could possibly go wrong

It's weird that both parties act as if the other is in power constantly

I get NSFW mods, but I'm playing Skyrim for immersion and adventure, not to get off.

That being said, a lot of the Heresy stuff just flat out isn't represented in rules, like the new Guard tanks kits are just not reflected whatsoever

I think it's now meant to be run as a Rhino Primaris

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

For the tally, this is 165 points of damage to Chaos, 245 to the Grots, but scores are 7:2 in the Grots favour

End of turn 1, one annihilated cultist unit, who sold themselves dearly with a double overwatch flamer attack, one Grot Tank exploded itself

Chaos moving up, 4 cultists popped by the Gods, 4 grots gunned down by Stubbers, 2 dead Grot Tanks and some damage to a Mega Tank

106 Cultists in the frontline vs 60 grots, who will win?

Behold

Well...

So, I got this little tank game called Multi Turret Academy, and it's a roguelike tankbuilder and I have the Char 2c's 152mm gun, with a 2 round autoloader. GLORIOUS
