Swizzle's Decks!

First, another destroyer for Norway. Then, for those that love dancing the Polka, here's something you will probably not see anywhere else, so these are very special. While many know of "Plan Z", few know that Poland was also ambitious about her fleet. The plan was dumped in September, 1939 when the Germans attacked. Below, is the Battlecruiser design they wanted to get from the Germans, for use in the Dutch East Indies. The Dutch also looked into getting the designs for the Dunkerque, and that also fell through. As many of the Polish ships already in game are named for storms, I named the BC for an earthquake.

On to the Red Navy ... the Seas Ablaze! deck has a sister for the Sovyetskiy Soyuz, and here I add her tertiaries, as I have with so many cards. (About 4 dozen!) Also, here comes the last of the Kirov's built, we are just "making believe" that she was finished in time for the war, and finished as designed. They had several improvements to hull and AA designed in by then. Since I have already made "All Guns" versions of the Kirov, the Chapayev is also decked out with all her guns.

I made a promise long ago that I would make a Warspite, similar to the German BC's, as a way to salute her range 6 shot and hit. Here's that Warspite!

Continuing with the RN, 2 cruisers that will truly be welcomed with open arms by the Allies. First, the Neptune represents her class that was designed during the war but never built. She was the ultimate British Light Cruiser, and I tried to make her so. The other is the first one to have jamming equipment to make it harder for those nasty German anti-ship missiles to hit their targets.

Swiz, you might want to take a look at the SA I put on my HMS Bellona card. I think it's more accurate - but hey, no pressure, your card.

You are correct ... the jamming was better than I had made it. I did not want to duplicate the other SA, so I came up with this one. Let me know what you think about it.

Next we have 4 American Aircraft carriers. An Essex class with a special ability that's very special; an Operational Wasp representing how she helped the British in the Mediterranean Sea; then re-costs of 2 CVE's that when compared to other CVE's really are overcosted in my eyes.
