Even thats a big number, especially since the war isn't full scale yet and Ironclads are new things. Nope the british invented them a decade back. The British invented a sea-going ironclad in 1859, 2 years ago. And even that was slow. Those ships a decade age were merely floating batteries, wholly unsuitable for sea warfare. You could create 15 realistically, but most of them would not even leave Savannah. |

Plus, Georgia's shipbuilding capacity isn't THAT damn big. |

You have 24 hours to do your turns before your state is inflicted with slave revolts of massive proportions.

Yeah, I believe the US made just over 40 during the war. Or rather that was how many it had at the end. The CSA wasn't super far behind, but regardless I'd say drop it to a couple this year at most? Still actually further behind the Union than you say... en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ironclad_warshipThe CSA merely was the first to launch a converted wooden ship into CSS Virginia. The Union still held the naval superiority, producing many river monitors and ocean-going armored ships during the war, far ahead of the CSA. Even outside America, things were grim for the CSA, only one CSS Jackson manage to get to America from Europe because all other vessels constructed were confiscated (actually, this CSS Jackson turns out to be taken by Denmark from France then finally ends up being handed over to a Confederate crew, funny story). Even then, that ship was too late in making a real effect, arriving in 1865. Although... back in America, the Confederation do have Mobile, AL and Norfolk, VA as their own premier shipyards while the Union has the giant shipping industry in the whole Northeast (plus NYC and Philly). Honestly, if it wasn't for incompetent leadership on the Union side and the dogged stubborn bravery on the Confederate side... this war should have been over in only a few years of total and devastating warfare. The numerical and logistical advantages lies with the Union and victory was simply inevitable. Although it's very possible for the public to grow too weary of the ongoing war causing the Union to settle for a peace treaty. The fact is that, in a straight fight, the CSA would lose outright. They had relied on the hopes that the Union would give up the fight and let them secede, and they were also holding out in hope of foreign assistance which never really came along (other than ineffectual help from Russia and discreet minor aid from France). I'm assuming that the GM will put in some random events like unexpected foreign aid, etc... to help balance things out for this RP. |

I don't understand this I'm gonna pull out He is taking a lesson from The Spanish Inquisition. To get people moving on stuff, threaten them. Well Picard used it as a punishment from doing "bad" things. I lost everything I was working towards with that strategy, BUT I got Constantinople in the end so thats good. No thanks to him (other than not banning me from undertaking actions) Bismarck Jr, is there any Union states left without turns? What revolts do they get? Irishmen? (didn't work in Canada not going to work in USA) |

I'm still Group Leader, against all chronological logic. It would be nice to hear what the results of the Ironclad controversy is though. |
