“Sit your asses down,” Thomas instructs, eyes still riveted on his computer.

You and Hate share an uncertain glance, and sit.

Admiral Thomas pins you to your chair with a keen look, then begins reading aloud from his monitor. “Presuming him unfamiliar with Western martial arts, I executed a false lunge. Thinking me fully committed to the attack he sidestepped the line of attack, captured my weapon with the off-hand and countered. Blocked this with off-hand to his wrist, headbutted him to gain time and dropped my sword. Took control of his knife arm with the default krav maga counter and used his blade against him, pushing back till we went to ground. At this point he ceased to offer resistance. After checking the immediate area for further threats, I contacted base security and reported the incident.”

He falls silent, turning that penetrating look onto you again. You shift eyes to Goto, but he's wearing the same expression. In desperation, you glance sidelong at -

- for fucks sake he's the LAST one to be giving you that shit!

“... sir?”

“I know I asked for an After Action Report,” Thomas says slowly, “but this...”

“......... sir?” you repeat at half the volume.

“Rear Admiral Settle, last night you *butchered* two experienced killers - with a *sword*,” - he shoots a look at Hate - “and you wrote it up attack for attack like you were describing weapon releases after a surface action.” He leans back in his chair, still studying you. “Doesn't that seem odd to you?”

"Somewhere off Christmas Island—an anomalous little fillet of land, with a steep crown and a narrow fringe of reefs, rising up through the blue-black swells of the Indian Ocean some two hundred miles south of Java—the seabed abruptly drops to unimaginable depths: twenty, twenty-two, twenty-four thousand feet. The ocean’s very surface sags by several meters along the great Java Trench. And within another two hundred miles or so south of Christmas Island, lost amid submarine canyons, contorted basins, and imbricated sediment, wedged in a deep shelf, or perhaps lying on a frigid abyssal plain, is a slowly disintegrating hulk of blasted metal.
It is not likely that Dr. Robert Ballard, or, for that matter, any other specialized, well-funded oceanographer, will ever probe those waters in search of this crumpled wreck. The seas are too dangerous, and the Malay Barrier (as it was once known) to the north is ringed by volcanic islands with a history of geologic violence."

"It is easy to imagine the crumpled wreckage, covered with rusticles and wrapped in cerements of silt, thousands of feet beneath the slate-gray Indian Ocean four hundred miles off the green Javanese shores, far from those spring flowers. She was, is, a half-forgotten American warship, already elderly in World War II, a veteran of the Atlantic and Pacific oceans and the Mediterranean, Aegean, and Black seas, and finally a member of the U.S. Asiatic Fleet’s Destroyer Squadron 29: USS Edsall (DD-219). Her remains reposed in utter darkness for more than sixty-five years."

This quote is instructive:

>In fact, military experts say, submarines dare attack battle ships only when the crews of the latter are unwary or their gunners are bad marksmen.

In WWI torpedoes were still extremely short-ranged and unreliable, which is why the leading U-boat ace of the war scored most of his kills by stopping ships on the surface, letting the crew depart in lifeboats (per old-fashioned Prize Rules dating back to the age of sail) and scuttling the ship with a boarding crew and/or his deck gun. Someone cheeky enough to attempt a submerged torpedo attack on a battleship would almost certainly be obliged to close in on the surface at night unless they found themselves SMACK dab in the enemy's line of travel, since those old boats were pathetically slow underwater and had limited duration even by WWII standards. Worse, their depth control could be a damn iffy thing (that was still a problem that came up in WWII at times, esp. because of battle damage,) and the big CG changes of firing torpedoes from those smaller WWI boats could often threaten to make your boat porpoise - or worse, force you to blow ballast and surface because she decides she's going down now, thank you very much. So needing to motor the fuck away on the surface till you could get lost in the dark and fog was a thing.

>>43597458
Have you ever played Austria-Hungary? You kind of have to rely on torps to survive. It sucks so much early game, but come late game it is pretty scary how good they get. Just build massive dd swarms backed by kitikami knockoffs and wait till night.

You flick your eyes between Goto and Thomas uncertainly.

“Uh... why would it? It's not the first time I've been in combat. Not the first time since I got to Japan, even.”

Thomas pans his gaze to Goto. They trade expressions before Thomas hands him a a couple 1000 yen notes. Then Thomas turns his monitor around so you can see it. “Settle - watch this.”

He clicks a button, and the paused video onscreen begins playing. For differing dark Yokosuka sidewalks snap into view with some esoteric camera/date information superimposed on one corner. Through one you see two men striding down the sidewalk with steady purpose. In another you see yourself, dress whites looking yellowed in the sickly light of the sodium security lamps as you lurch along, swaying and quite clearly drunk. You and your soon-to-be assailants leave frame and meet in the bottom-right corner, the two lazily unlimbering their weapons as you sway gently towards them.

You hear Hate twitch when your cane connects with the first one's solar plexus, your inebriated sway vanishing in a heartbeat as you spring into them. His chair's arms squeak under his hands when he watches you block the second attack, and from the corner of your eye you see his eyes light up when the sword gleams in the sullen light.

The fight is much, much faster than you remember; and much shorter. The security camera doesn't include sound, but you twitch involuntarily when you watch yourself bring the sword's hilt down on the first man's face - the solid, grisly *feel* of cartilage crunching beneath your blow is still with you.

Then the rush, the flip, and for a few long heartbeats - the face-off as you and the remaining man size each other up. The camera angle gives you a good look at your own face, half-lit by the street lamp. You remember the calculation, the summation, the decision, the attack - but not the lean, savage set of your mouth.

“Scary,” Willie had said.

No shit.

“The first responding officers, the hospital ER doctor, everyone concurred that you were quite obviously inebriated that night, Admiral,” Thomas says quietly. “Did that have anything to do with your... demeanor?”

If anything, Sir, being a bit drunk likely saved my life. Had I been completely sober, I might very well have overthought the situation and gotten myself killed.

In other words admirals - there is no way I could have reacted to the situation with sufficient alacrity to defeat two professional opponents who had the advantage of surprise while sober.

This isn't a fucking VN, we didn't 'lose' anybody. She was upset, we were drunk, we'll both be adults about it and move forward.

She's basically got that already, she just doesn't use it

An LP of RtW I'm currently following on SA (run and played by Grey Hunter, SA's most prominent grog game player, known for playing both War in the Pacific and War in the East in real time one day at a time and never missing an update, even making a special one for his wedding in the vein of his other updates during WitE, as well as countless other grog games, plus his atrocious spelling mistakes, as well as inadvertently sinking the Royal Navy in any historical game he plays, to the point where he sank most of it in Steam and Iron playing as the Kaiserliche Marine, but couldn't win the game because the developers set the German victory conditions to be so impossible to achieve since they figured that no one would be able to beat the RN).

Give me a good naval game that allows me to pilot a capital ship. I am less inclined to command a fleet.

His France is currently getting overwhelmed by AH in the mid 20's because he doesn't have the tonnage to break their blockade in the Med, because he recently lost a war to GB and they placed a naval restriction on him, as well as sinking or seizing most of his BBs to the point where he has the smallest fleet of them in the world, and the ones he does have left aren't all that modern.

Also, both goons (who are giving input) and Grey are terrible at designing raiders and Battlecruisers (his most modern BCs died to turret explosions when GB's better designed and more modern BBs and BCs opened up during a fleet, convoy harassment/protection, or raid battle of some sort and punched through their weak turret top armor. That class of BCs were even named the So Suez Me class, to celebrate France taking Egypt and Gibraltar from GB in a previous war that they fought, in which he was able to starve out GB to the point of revolution toppling their government.

He couldn't break GB's blockade of him in Northern Europe in that previous war starving him out, and a revolution toppled his government as he couldn't sink GB's merchant shipping fast enough to force a surrender with his dwindling number of submarines and raiders that kept getting intercepted. But he still was able to keep three possessions that the army seized on its own during that war: Hong Kong, Malta, and Cyprus.

He last told me years ago and never wrote the shit down, but here's what I remember.

He and his crew are flying on patrol. They're about half way through when one of the gunners starts shouting about something off to their left. He takes a look and sees an American fighter (Don't ask me which kind, he never said when all this shit happened) trailing smoke and tangling with a nip plane. The American plane goes out of control and the pilot bails and the Nip flies off and they lose sight of him in some cloud cover.

They radio back, and ask permission to go get the guy. since they're, you know, right there. Guy on the ground tells them to come back in. There's a nip task force somewhere in their vicinity and they don't want to risk it. Grandpa gives his co pilot a look, they both know its a bullshit excuse, so one of them starts doing his best impression of static (including, and I quote, "Some Engine shenanigans to make it authentic"), they flip off the radio and go in anyways.

So they land, fish the guy out of the water and start to take off. At that point, the nip decides to show up again and figures, hey, free kill bakka bakka sempai jihad and goes in to strafe them. He is, fortunately, a god-awful shot and only manages to get the plane a little bit wetter. They manage to get off the ground and the nip decides that's too much of a challenge and fucks off. Again.

Understandably nervous, they head back to base. About half way there, The gunner calls up, the jap is back and is now following them. Presumably, trying to figure out where they're based from. Grandpa calls back, asking how close the guy is and the only answer the gunner will give is "He's too damn close". So they radio base for some backup, and their commander (somewhat pissed) agrees to call for a fighter to chase the jap off. After a nervous ten, fifteenish minutes (I think?) their fighter cover arrives and the nip, sensing a fair fight, fucks off.


they get back to base, their commander calls them into his office and starts dressing them down for risking a half a dozen men and the plane on a rescue op when they knew there were enemy fighters in the area. about 5 minutes into the "Angry Pastor Sermon" the guy three or four ranks up the chain pokes his head into the office to say thanks to granddad and his crew, and oh he's put them up for a bronze star k thx bye. Their commander does a 180, praises them for bravery under fire and get the hell out of his office if you please.

King Crimson works the same way cutting a scene a frame from a movie reel works. You take a scenario and remove it from the chronological flow. The audience would have no idea that you removed scene as they are caught up in the scenes. But because you stand independent of the audience and therefore the chronology, you can freely influence the effects the chronological flow has on your target (ie the audience).

Want to make some look like a dick? Remove that touching scene and he's a dick.

KC just does this chronological delete and splice with real world time, not a movie's time.

At this point either group can go down that route. I'm a AZ fan and I am no where near as salty as Katya fans were.
