I remember it being discussed but can't remember how long back and what thread it might have been in. The seperate Tirpitz 1941 date errata talk was definitely more recent.
I already have my Bismarcks/Tirpitz altered as mentioned but I haven't had hands on them for a while, so can't double check. Armour is definitely 9 on them though and I think MG was altered at least by +1 at range 3 on Bismarck at least. Can't recall what else was tweaked on the gunnery but it was on the back of that chat that I did it, which is probably longer ago than I thought. I'm also thinking now it might not have been on here...does anybody else recall it?!. Obviously Bismark was sent 1, which was without precedent and with attendant hindsight errors. She was the most powerfully balanced Battleship afloat for that short period (Yamato not disclosed), a fact obviously borne out both in gunnery and defensive success/endurance in action.
"That's right son, join the navy. Get behind a bloody big gun and knock the hell out of somebody"
"We went out, got our arses kicked, then came back again"
Its possible that the seperate decapping-plates were omitted, and only the main belt used for stats. I thinknthe littorios were similarly under-represented.
Topside would be good. The team does follow a theme every deck. Something involving administration or operations with introduction to Commanders and, Operational ships.
I'll have to see previous threads and maybe some googling to find some terms.
Erwin Rommel - "Give me American supply lines, British planes, German officers and Canadian troops, and I can take over the world".
Is there a particular phrase used when the captain or an admiral is present on the bridge?
Edit: A naval friend told me that in the American Navy, admirals get "rung aboard" by a number of bells, and that admirals are described as "embarked" when they are aboard a ship. This provoked a few ideas:
1. "All Aboard" (perhaps a more train adjacent than boat, but it does nod to the embarkation of Admirals)
2. "Admiral Embarked" or "Admiral Aboard" or a variation thereof
3. "Anchors Aweigh" (Since this is the last Forumini expansion)
4. "Master and Commander," or "Command and Control" (or something Command or Commander related)
5. "Fleet Command II: Electric Boogaloo" (Fleet Command would have made a pretty good name for this set if Set V had not taken it)
6. "Hoist the Colours," or "Hoist the Colors" for those in America. (Colours here referring to both the national ensign, but also an admirals personal colours...)
I hope this provides a good sampling from which can derive a deck name.

I vote for Command and Control. That is a good one. I really hope this isn't the last Forumini Deck. If it is. "Fair Winds & Following Seas" would be the most appropriate name in my opinion.
