  1. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Certainly would look awful, though I imagine it would be a fairly instantaneous death.

  2. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Probably plunged straight through her bottom

  3. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Great chapter, well worth the wait

  4. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Awesome chapter. Yes, a single gun would have trouble hitting anything. now they all need to cease fire to avoid hitting Rainbow by mistake

  5. A Force Z What If

    Also PoW is rather an unlucky ship, and thus gets negative modifiers on all of her rolls. Also, two of those four RN destroyers are escapees from a museum.

  6. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Then comes the fun...if things get close, then the Rainbow might get hit by friendly shore artillery

  7. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Rainbow's 14" torpedoes aren't much more than Spar torpedoes. They'll hurt the Germans for sure, but come to it, the German 17.7" will hurt much, much more.

  8. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Then comes the torpedoes...

  9. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    That has a disadvantage as well, moving closer to those rapid-firing 10.5 cm guns.

  10. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Right. Or at least bypassed

  11. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Well, French logistics are in rough shape, but simple knocking out a length of rail isn't as effective as you think, it can be repaired quickly. You have to destroy trestles.

  12. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Dang...what a buildup. Can't wait for the next one

  13. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Absolutely. Fear would keep the provinces in line. They can't repel firepower of that magnitude.

  14. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Nonsense, it would take out the entire town that the rebellion was in...sort of a proto Death Star

  15. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    She's out of the way, and is likely to be left to nature. She might be stripped of anything useful by the locals, but I wouldn't expect any serious efforts at recovering her.

  16. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    However, they are responsible for moving her.

  17. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Note that not all ships can take backing up long distances. It's rough on the rudder. Especially if said ship has recently grounded and been torpedoed, and was never imagined to take such punishment.

  18. The Rainbow. A World War One on Canada's West Coast Timeline

    Depends on the damage. There should still be crane piers available to fix above the waterline damage. A cofferdam could be built to repair Rainbow enough for a trip to an actual dock. Of course, no matter what, this is Rainbow's swan song. Either she sinks, or she's so beat up she's not worth...

  19. Place In the Sun: What If Italy Joined the Central Powers?

    Great timeline. Subscribed.

  20. WI: Tesla and Edison maintained their relationship?

    Tesla was also a salesman on the order of Steve Jobs. He was quite the bombastic salesman. He claimed impossible things of his inventions all the time. Not to say that they weren't brilliant, but that they weren't capable of what he promised. The Tesla Turbine comes to mind. That depends...
