And another question: This is one for the Grognards - Which warship am I? 1. I do not have a counter in WIF or any of its add ons, however, you could easily make the case for including one (I am bigger than a destroyer).

This tank destroyer was actually intended to replace StuG III but during the battle of Kursk StuG III performed better than Pz IV so the StuG remained in production alongside this TD.

The evacuation of the BEF was called Operation Dynamo. Where did the name Dynamo come from? Essentially, it's something that spins an armature rapidly through a magnetic field to produce power. Maxwell is ultimately responsible.

Okay, next clue. Which warship am I? 1. I do not have a counter in WIF or any of its add ons, however, you could easily make the case for including one (I am bigger than a destroyer). 2. If ADG did give me a counter, I would be likely to start 1939 scenarios in the construction pool; for the same reason as USS Wyoming. Alternatively I could start on map - but would have suitably reduced factors.....

I'm at work so can't check my counters but I remember that the Japanese have a cruiser in the contruction pool by the name of Izuma(?). This cruiser was a WWI ship that I believe was being used as a training ship but concievably could have been reffited for active duty.

Warspite1 That's the sort of thing - Idzumo has a counter, but the subject of this question does not.

warspite1 -> RE: Next quiz (7/11/2011 9:49:39 PM)
Clue no.3. Which warship am I? 1. I do not have a counter in WIF or any of its add ons, however, you could easily make the case for including one (I am bigger than a destroyer). 2. If ADG did give me a counter, I would be likely to start 1939 scenarios in the construction pool; for the same reason as USS Wyoming. Alternatively I could start on map - but would have suitably reduced factors..... 3. During my life I changed not only my name (once) but also my ship type (a number of times).

warspite1 -> RE: Next quiz (7/12/2011 6:29:49 AM)
Clue no.4. This should narrow it down a bit. Which warship am I? 1. I do not have a counter in WIF or any of its add ons, however, you could easily make the case for including one (I am bigger than a destroyer). 2. If ADG did give me a counter, I would be likely to start 1939 scenarios in the construction pool; for the same reason as USS Wyoming.

I am a Royal Navy vessel.

Clue no.5. Last clue. Which warship am I? 1. I do not have a counter in WIF or any of its add ons, however, you could easily make the case for including one (I am bigger than a destroyer). 2.

I am a Royal Navy vessel. 5. I was used extensively off Narvik, Norway April - June 1940, after which I was largely used in backwater theatres. I survived the war, unlike one of my three original sisters (all of whom have a WIF Counter) - a fourth ship of my original class was lost during the inter-war years.

[&:] The only ships I can think of have either a MWIF counter or is a destroyer.

Orm -> RE: Next quiz (7/12/2011 11:58:10 PM)
I have a new question for you guys to ponder on as well as the previous questions. Which warship am I? 1) I have a counter in MWIF. 2) During WWII a well known authour dedicated a book to my officers and crew.

I do not have a counter in WIF or any of its add ons, however, you could easily make the case for including one (I am bigger than a destroyer). 2. If ADG did give me a counter, I would be likely to start 1939 scenarios in the construction pool; for the same reason as USS Wyoming.

I survived the war, unlike one of my three original sisters (all of whom have a WIF Counter) - a fourth ship of my original class was lost during the inter-war years. 6. I was designed as a cruiser, but unlike my four sisters, was not completed as originally designed. The reason that "treaty" or "heavy" cruiser specification was set at the level it was at the Washington Treaty 1922, was due to the size of my sisters.
