A Penguin Plays RULE THE WAVES

Wow. I wonder if Italy will keep fighting or not. Good thing in hindsight you giving some resources to the Spanish Army.
 
Having the frontline in France would explain why you get so much intel about our ship construction... I'm keeping a close eye on you now.

Which leads me to ask, how have we been destroying enemy submarines until now?

duck-smallfaces-01c.jpg
We... haven't?
We have just been relying on them being Italian getting lost and running aground somewhere.

>> CA ADOBO> With fisticuffs!

peng-smallfaces04b.jpg
I'm sure you'd try.


2020-09-25_023132.png

peng-smallfaces04c.jpg
That works so much better.

That's a lot of sunk merchant marine capacity, we must avenge!

It's ADOBE.

peng-smallfaces06.jpg
Whew.

peng-smallfaces06a.jpg
The sane one of the ADOBO twins.
Relatively.

>> CA ADOBE> What do you mean relatively?!
>> CA ADOBE> I'm the sanest on in the fleet!
>> CA ADOBE> (And that happens to include even the Grand Admiral)

2020-09-25_023215.png

peng-smallfaces02a.jpg
Ugh. Sink any ship.
Simple enough.

peng-smallfaces04g.jpg
But we have to find them first.


2020-09-25_023236.png

>> CA ADOBE> Ship spotted!

2020-09-25_023238.png

peng-smallfaces-08.jpg
We started this at 6:00 AM and now it's 12 NN.

>> CA ADOBE> Six hours is not time wasted.


2020-09-25_023251.png

>> CA ADOBE> Ah, it's a Trader.
>> CA ADOBE> Nothing personal, just business.

2020-09-25_023306.png

>> CA ADOBE> (blammitly blam blam)
>> CA ADOBE> I hope you bought insurance.

2020-09-25_023318.png

>> CA ADOBE> Mission Accomplished.

2020-09-25_023330.png

peng-smallfaces02.jpg
That's good enough.
GTFO back here.

>> CA ADOBE> That was a little too easy, but okay.

Wait, what's that?

>> CA ADOBE> But four inches belt armor...

2020-09-25_023434.png

NO.

That's it. Slow and steady wins the war right now. It's honestly what I like about Rule the Waves. It gives one the strategic freedom to choose your path to victory. It does not restrict the player to MAXIMUM engagement all the time. Though admittedly, that strategic freedom is intimidating. Between the uncertainty caused by research and events, you really can never be sure if your strategy is working or you need to improvise and adapt.
 
58.3 AFTER ACTION REPORT - Coastal Raid on Italy
2020-09-25_023514.png

peng-smallfaces02a.jpg
It is a victory.

>> CA ADOBE> I feel we may have been a bit too conservative there, but you're right.
>> CA ADOBE> It is what it is.

>> CA ADOBE> The Mission always comes first.


peng-smallfaces02.jpg
All right - here's the track:
We started this at the break of dawn at 6:00
At 12:00 we spotted an unlucky Italian transport
CA ADOBE resolved the situation by 13:00 -
And turned about to exit the mission area.

peng-smallfaces04a.jpg
Visual contact was made with a CA VETTOR PISANI class at around 13:30

But CA ADOBE continued unflichinging getting the EFF to the OH due South East.
No more further contact with ships until night fell and she could in confidence return to Spanish waters.


2020-09-25_023529.png

peng-smallfaces-01.jpg
We only sank one ship but this is worth way more than the five ships sank by Italian raiders this month.
peng-smallfaces05.jpg
You have been avenged!

>> CA ADOBE> Am I Thor or Captain America?

peng-smallfaces04b.jpg
You are Groot.

>> CA ADOBE> Aww.

2020-09-25_023533.png

peng-smallfaces04b.jpg
Hmm.

Intel reports on Italy, France and the US - the only nations we have direct contact with.

2020-09-25_023535.png

peng-smallfaces04a.jpg
All right now that our cash flow is positive again, it is time to put into action my SECRET PLAN.

2020-09-25_024129.png

peng-smallfaces04f.jpg
We actually got Wing Turret technology some time back but I was too busy with the war to comment on it.

But our Shipyard capacity was too low to take advantage of it.


2020-09-25_024243.png

peng-smallfaces04c.jpg
Now we can have eight gun broadsides.

Granted, midships turret would be much more efficient, but
a) we don't have that technology
b) cross deck fire is Spain's bonus tech so it feels a shame not to build one

2020-09-25_024349.png

peng-smallfaces02.jpg
First we put ADOBO back on Raiding duty.

2020-09-25_024410.png

peng-smallfaces02.jpg
And put FURIOSA on Coastal Patrol so she will stay in South East Asia.


2020-09-25_024412.png

peng-smallfaces03c.jpg
I don't know what this will do.

peng-smallfaces03.jpg
Whoa!
It's a good thing I didn't build the ship just yet because 20k ton budget is much more forgiving.

Fine tune the design a bit more.


2020-09-25_024418.png

peng-smallfaces02.jpg
We have actually slapped around the Italian Navy enough that we can meet Patrol requirements, but more is better.


2020-09-25_024421.png

peng-smallfaces04a.jpg
But of course!

2020-09-25_024423.png

More AP is best AP!

2020-09-25_024425.png

peng-smallfaces02a.jpg
I don't care about light warships anymore.

2020-09-25_024428.png

peng-smallfaces04a.jpg
Although this does remind me to check if we could/should migrate the FURIOSA class back into Super Destroyer raiders again now that Engines and mass allowances have improved.

2020-09-25_024434.png

peng-smallfaces06.jpg
We don't care about Austria-Hungary right now either, though we don't need them mad at us.

2020-09-25_024436.png

peng-smallfaces04.jpg
THIS IS A MAJOR BREAKTHOUGH.

peng-smallfaces05.jpg
That would have been great if we were actually Austria-Hungary and had access to oil!

The stronger the US gets, the better for us.

If US DAMCON isn't best in the world, it would be just wrong.

2020-09-25_024446.png

HAHAHAHAHA.

Did we manage to get them with our ASW?

peng-smallfaces03c.jpg
That's a lot of tonnage down.
Seven ships down again.

We need more Cruiser hulls and must always leave one of them in Northern Europe.

2020-09-25_024454.png

peng-smallfaces03.jpg
Holy moley!

peng-smallfaces04.jpg
VITTORIO EMANUELE with its four 12-inch and ten 10-inch, I don't have to worry about you anymore!

peng-smallfaces-08.jpg
The US have really been pulling their weight in this war.
Who knows, maybe instead of the US and the UK being the 'special relationship', it would be the US and Spain in the leadup to WW1.


2020-09-25_024501.png

peng-smallfaces04.jpg
All right then!
Come at me!
 
Yeah - that does seem like about as favorable a fight as you're gonna get - here's hoping for clear skies and an good long while till dusk!

Time to SMASH!

>> CA ADOBO> WHERE ARE THEY HIDING?!

peng-smallfaces04b1.jpg
We started this at 15:58 or 3:58 PM.
It is now 4:51 PM.

>> CA ADOBO> I don't know what that means.

peng-smallfaces04b.jpg
One. One hour.

>> CA ADOBO> MATH IS ALSO THE ENEMY.

I don't expect the Italian Navy to be able to find their own ass in the dark, no.

What the shite was that.
The Patrol Boat ran into a sea mine and gave Italy free VP.

peng-smallfaces06c.jpg
Who mines the seas around Eastern Spain?
We do.

peng-smallfaces06a.jpg
ADOBO intimidated that little boat so bad she accidentally ran over a sea mine in the defense zone around Malaga!


peng-smallfaces04.jpg
KNEEL AND APOLOGIZE.

So where was the Italian Raiding Party all this time?

peng-smallfaces04b.jpg
...

>> CA ADOBE> ... They got lost.

>> CA ADOBO> They got super lost.

peng-smallfaces07b.jpg
SPAGHETTIS.

They got lucky this time!

...
At least you know your sins.

It is bloodlust and not arrogance that drives you.

peng-smallfaces-08.jpg
Fortunately Patrol Boats are like fairies, they just pop up out of nowhere in the morning again.
Do not take advantage of their immortality and not appearing on our account books to perform more graft as target practice.

peng-smallfaces04g.jpg
Fucking spaghettis though.
They didn't meet anything (except an island they nearly ran aground on) through this whole debacle.

How are they even supposed to know one of our ships sank after they went away?

Blech.

The British have 15-inch guns and we're still using 12-inchers.

2020-09-25_024834.png

peng-smallfaces04a.jpg
Since we have more light craft than we need for Patrol duty, I'm setting some AMCs as Raiders so I can put my Cruisers back into action.


2020-09-25_024846.png

peng-smallfaces05.jpg
DAMMIT!
We only have two of those!

2020-09-25_024848.png

We only have t- one. One of those!

Are we sure it was a torpedo hit and not, y'know, ramming speed?

2020-09-25_024851.png

Woo. Five ships in one deployment duration.
That is the excellent work that kind of justifies why we tolerate your brand of insanity.

Wait. That's it?
The Italians have no Raider actions this turn?

(Eight ships for 45 VP!)

peng-smallfaces03.jpg
Inconceivable!

You got really lucky America sank the Vittorio. With that action your Battleship lead just went further up. Though I wonder if the loss of the Vittorio means the Italians decided to stop sending there ships to raid and instead put them into the fleets to reinforce it.

peng-smallfaces06.jpg
That however is complete believable.
I forgot I set ADOBO back on Raider and ADOBE on Active Fleet.

So we have no Cruisers for this sort of detached duty.


2020-09-25_024907.png

peng-smallfaces04g.jpg
All right. So. Twenty thousand tons yard capacity.

2020-09-25_025044.png

peng-smallfaces04f.jpg
Instead of going all fancy with a cross deck warship, why not just build a BARACO-class locally?

2020-09-25_025046.png

peng-smallfaces05.jpg
Because we don't have Midships Turret tech, that's why!

2020-09-25_025139.png

peng-smallfaces-01.jpg
Okay then.
So I'm building the Through Deck Dreadnought.

T-that's right!
I forgot I DID build three ADOBO-class just for this occasion.

Two on active manuevers, and one to remain at home as strategic reserve and defense.

Wait, that's a VETTOR PISANI.
Flutte-... I mean, ADONTBE, maybe you should't-
