I came up with te idea of sticking with 57 mm when I invented Iberia. 76mm autos were used in the USN just after the war. So I figured "what if". 57mm should be easier than 76 mm. It is a lot closer to 40mm which was common in the war.

compacter than El Cid, but barely a match for her, which given the difference in time is astounding.

Folks, I must say that i am rather flattered by all your good words about El Cid

I am not sure whether this helps, but when I had Iberia, there was an incident (never played out) with a warlord threatening San Hainando, which has Iberian settlements, but never was a formal colony. Iberia came to the aid and San Hainando decided to join the Iberian Federation.

I never got round to writing it up.

I'm haveing a feeling that the other 2 Santa Marias will be getting marching orders very shortly El Cid as well?

@RA 5 twins give a higher ROF though so the difference in firepower is probably not that marginal.

folks

it used to be that conflicts were agreed by the players behind the scenes and scripted. This seems to be going down the drains, with shit being stirred up for the sheer heck of it. I am a bit disturbed by this. Would it be possible to go back to the old way of doing things with being polite and considerate?

just a thought ...

it might be time to pint out that Iberia has found oil in several of it's Caribbean colonies, hence it's early move to oil firing on warships. It is unlikely that Iberia has ever bought oil from Mexico.

how about chubbier for smaller docks? otherwise one ends up putting sloops into bigger docks because they won't fit the small ones ...
