Why is there an arrow by the red dragon?

How about we just do this when it comes to airships and the like.. Airships: We gonna bomb you *boomboomboom* A-A: Hey that's mean you stupid meanie face stop that *pewpewpew* Airships: Oh no we gettin shot up *flies away* Ground Forces: Oh no we gotta stop those emplacements *goes and battle starts* *Pewpewpew boom aaah dead* *Tell my wife I always was gay* *pewpewpe* *Battle is won by XxX0pt1cxXx* There. That seems far more effective than debating the effictivity of anti-air for 12 more pages.

Cannot stress enough that this first IC post is going to mostly be meaningless "setting the stage" stuff. So start writing up your IC posts. I'm just gonna reserve the first spot for myself while I type it up.

Its by and large a Doctrinal thing methinks. Nations who put greater stock in their armies will work to develop more powerful anti-air batteries. Nations with powerful air fleets probably have dedicated interceptors for smaller craft (think flying gunboats, which going off of that I could see Boerd's rocket barges filling a similar role to Torpedo boats of the air if they swap for fewer and larger rockets depending on who they're firing upon) and can also simply force a fight in the sky against their own air fleet.

Sorry about not posting recently, was sick for a week and only just caught back up with my studies. Expect a post tomorrow

Expect the IC post to be up at some point tomorrow. Would write it up now but I'm running on an hour of sleep and have an exam in the morning. Keep your peepers popped.

@Keyguyperson Move your sheet on over, looks good. @So Boerd Don't worry about it m8, you can put as much effort into stuff as you want. It would be hypocritical of me to shit on you for wanting to make your stuff follow logic and have solid numbers attached to it when I do that all the time. Verisimilitude is something to be commended, I'm just throwing it out there that things are also pretty fantastical so hand-waving is fine.

Indeed it does, but really I don't give a hoot. Do you want your air fleets to use big guns? Do you want them to use rockets? Do you want them to bomb their enemies or a little bit of everything? Air battleships and armored cruisers or just floating weapon platforms? It really doesn't matter, I appreciate that people have gone through the effort to do the math for such things, but to be perfectly frank I don't really care. Airships exist for thematic purposes, there's magical fucking antigravity clay, and steam engines are far more efficient and powerful than they have any right to be. This setting doesn't exactly need to be 100% perfectly logical down to the newton or joule or coulomb considering that this is steampunk, and steampunk and "math" have never made good bedfellows. Major breaches in logic should obviously be addressed, but for the rest things can be hand waved as needed. At the end of the day, take a deep breath, relax, and repeat the following to yourself https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ugebzq3juE

@Keyguyperson Looking good so far. The names are oppressively difficult to pronounce in a way that only Scandinavian names can be. just flag me down once things get finished and I'll look it over again. But I've gotta warn ya, this town ain't big enough for two Holy Empires.
