Archaos Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 Again, good work, but surprised the editor did not go into more detail regarding the Dutch loss at Haulover, considering he took part in that battle. The forts in that battle dismasted one each of friend and foe, so were not as instrumental as the editor makes out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If those square forts didn't exist the British fleet would have been attacked immediately as they wouldn't have been able to sit under its guns.

The Brits in that battle actually took the fight to the Dutch but not in a fleet brawl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg, I think I remember that Islmorada was Dutch until the Russians conquered it. Maybe you should do like good journalists and not lie ... 😁😅 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Never Posted January 14, 2020 Share Posted January 14, 2020 I do wish people would stop complaining about forts, unless their nation doesn't build any forts. Destroy all your forts and then you are allowed to complain about them. 🙄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magallanes Posted January 18, 2020 Share Posted January 18, 2020 Issue #3. REDS dictate to Spanish clan FNI who they can be friends with. It´s clear that is not correct. Nobody says us who is the enemy..Autor must ask directly to first hand resources to tell this. Or are you looking for a new Spanish diplomatic stand for your convenience ? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spiffy Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 I for one really appreciate the effort going into the Gazette - it's a great fun read and spices things up a bit. Greg - Never mind the moaner(s), there'll always be a few no matter what. Already looking forward to the next issue. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hethwill Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 Fun thing about period gazettes is sometimes the propaganda, and given the name of this publications - Willemstad Gazette - one can easily identify it as being a "most probably not all facts are accurate but does it matter ?" I mean... a tunnel being dug under the channel and a air fleet coming soaring above, so Nappy will invade England was posted on some back in the day. Good job Captains. This is far more interesting and entertaining, for me, than other "drama news" threads. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted January 22, 2020 Share Posted January 22, 2020 The idea is brilliant, but not well executed, sometimes. A real journalist would know that spreading fake news and non-super partes sentences is not an optimal way of writing news. On the other hand, you're not a real journalist (I suppose), and this is a game. But still, many things were inaccurate (or deliberately manipulated in order to seem more swedish-friendly). I liked very much the other "episodes" of the Willemstad Gazette, but unfortunately today some articles were not enjoyable due to excessive propaganda. I got a suggestion for you: how about "interviewing" someone from the other side too, in order to share both points of view, and try to write an "impartial" newspaper (or something close to it)? Otherwise.. it only appears to be something written to keep swedes (your overlords?) friendly, since they're doing the dirty job for you! Keep going, I'm sure next week (is it weekly, now?) it'll be better. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
