Too funny,
It is naval action politics and roleplay in a 15 minutes training video

Yes you do. I say there was a British empire before 1778.
Ah very well. Thank you sir, thank you also for honouring some of our writers.

"in return"???
This said without the slightest ounce of irony from me, if there is any quality I sincerely admire in the British, it is their remarkable talent to tell the most fascinating tales. Dracula, Frankenstein, Sherlock Holmes, Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, etc... Britain has graced the world with the most inventive, elegant and entertaining fiction ever written.
Now, would you please entertain us with yours, of a timeline so evidently inverted it could only have happened in a parallel universe? How do we gain access to it? I bet it is through a portal in the Greenwich observatory.
Sir, I am probably misunderstanding your post, are you saying that there never was a British empire?

Most of the British blokes seem happy to fight the French, as I said, historically it's only right.

And I thought it was the French being known for running away from a fight...
To be fair, I don't think the French have run away from fights. No more than anyone else.
But then neither have the British.
Even though I will not be fighting the British it is historical that Britain (or England before the union) and France were on opposite sides of a front line. For the best part of 800 years, enemies or rivals, and even when they did come to agreements it was normally so that they could stab eachother in the back. Even on the crusades English and French knights didn't see eye to eye.

At the end of the day, I just feel that we didn't even bother trying to turn the Danes back. We could've done something with the swedes, liberated the lost territory, the British would've sent a squadron to assist, or launched attacks to the west.
My point is that we didn't try, didn't even consider it as far as I know. And now put all the blame on people playing their own game.

Woody is right, France and Sweden could've figured out a combined strategy and pushed the Danes back, just needed a bit of patience. But alas no one could be bothered it would seem.

Ohhh.... sry, the game told me you guys have ports near the Danes. So i thought you were able to attack the Danes from the other side when their entire fleet ws in Sweden and France. But the game must have lied to me then... oh welll...
Yes the game must of also lied to you about the huge pirate nation attacking British ports too and tying up the British ships.oh well
By the way I'm with the French nation, I just dont see right blaming others for our own foul ups.

Hm... France turns against Britain? But why? Britain has been such a good ally to France and us Swedes, they helped us defend against the Danes and...
Oh wait.....
Yes it's entirely the fault of the British nation for our loses before, a nation who are approxiamtely an hours sail away from any French or Swedish territory, who weren't already facing their own dramas, who could've stopped us being overrun in a single day, bore off blaming other for our own failings. The Dutch and Danes were simply much better and could actually be bothered.

Is that a fact?
What about these battles; Saratoga, Islandlwana, the battle for the danish straits against Bismarck, Singapore, or even at the Gazala line.
How'd all of these go for the british, hm? Saratoga is an excellent example if I do say so myself.
Sir if I may, you have certainly proved the gentleman's argument to be part false, 'none of them were British' . As for the second part, I wouldn't say that any of the enemies faced by the British in any of the battles you listed were cowardly.
No nation has had a clean slate in regards to warfare, although I will admit many British defeats had been caused for some ridiculous reason and could have been easily avoided.

Probably been mentioned but not sure,
The ability to do one vs one 'small battles'. I personally find some one vs one pvp battles more exciting than massive fleet actions... It would also give people a chance to 'duel' with their biggest rivals in game (and forum rivals too of you like)
-
Wouldn't like to see either of you accused of insinuating anything gentlemen but it's difficult not to think that you are... I apologise in advance if I have completely missed the mark.
-
Opinions will be what they are. I treat what I know of the British- Spanish conflict as a case of one mistake leading to another and unfortunate escalation. I wouldn't personally blame neither party, there are simply too many moving parts in each nation for black and white, clear treaties
-
None of them were british. None of them had so weak and coward enemies.
Steady sir, although I sail a French ship presently I am no friend of CSNF nor the Dutch. However I wouldn't go so far as to call them cowardly... Conniving yes, ambitious certainly, perhaps lacking in the stoicism of many British captains, but I wouldn't refer to them as cowardly.
-
Kierrip, the voice of good reasoning as usual. However I wouldn't go so far as to say that people are being racist, no one has said anything against the Russian players in our community as far as I can remember.
I wasn't surprised as soon as CSNF declared they were 'neutral' to Britain I personally knew you'd give it a week or two then declare war. It made sense to me, with Britain being the central nation, but also fighting on multiple fronts already, France was bound to jump on the band wagon and see what hey can get out of it. I was surprised that France allied with the Dane- Norge though. I was expecting an alliance with the Dutch, I guess if that was on the cards, the Swedish would've derailed that plan with their attacks on the Dutch.
-
I may be wrong, but won't they be attacking mostly undefended ports
-
One things for sure the diplomatic situation thread needs a fix up
-
That cracked me up, standing on a busy underground platform at work, saw this and laughed really loudly, got loads of odd looks. Cheers needed that.
Personally I think blaming the Brits for France's failings is a bit of a poor excuse, interested to see where the French decide to strike
-
just goes to show that alliances currently mean naff all. Still fun though. Will probably become a massive free for all
-
Well I suppose this resolves any possible doubts as to your loyalty, France or Charles Cadwell's pocket? An easy choice for you it would seem.
Ive been regarded as an enemy of France since the surrender. Why should that change because France has now agreed to openly work for Denmark-Norway.
It's an interesting turn of events though.

Les Abaissé obviously isn't involved in this, though it will no doubt face collateral damage. Good luck to all, although I doubt there will be much fighting.

I salute the stoicism of the spaniards, but I can't help but think that there is a better way out of the mess. Good luck to all.
My in game (RP) character is wondering if the Spanish have enough hammocks for all he upcoming burials

If you're interested PM Grim DeGrim, Francis Tabernac or myself. You will be gratefully received
-
Thank you Tennessee88 it is along those exact lines you took good time to explain that I was thinking. I'm sure it is possible and will be an interesting part of the game if our very good group of devs could bring such a thing to the game. I know in real life such an operation was extremely risky. So in the game I imagined it as a very difficult mission, or even a massive gamble, the rewards would have to be huge to make the risk worth while

Leave Lizzie out of this sir...
Actually fire at will, your shots will just bounce right off her anyway.
