:20bux: that the Germans actually did this at one point (Although maybe with the gun pointing forwards.

It was actually really common earlier in the war. Lots by the British in Africa rather than Germany or America, but as far as I know everyone did it.

Maybe a bit different from most games here but has anyone tried the new Nobunaga's Ambition? It has been getting some good reviews from what I have seen so far.

I've been thinking about picking it up. If there are good reviews (or, better, someone in here who has played it) I'd be real interested in hearing them.

That strange, French (only?) template design shows up in lots of games and its always hilariously bad.

Given the AI templates are at least loosely based on real ships (especially for the line work and gun positions) I wonder what weird cruiser that template is modeled after.

It's like a lightly armoured Dupleix that lost the 100mm guns and switched to submerged tubes. (The Desaix actually was a Dupleix-class, though I don't think it had any modifications like that done to it. I still assume it's where they got the template concept.)

Edit: I haven't played that game so I might be reading the armour values wrong since I don't know how it handles the armour being thinner near the bottom.
