At 44 points i'll lose the FC and take the others, even with the slow SA's
Auf Scharnhorst--Mississippi--Arizona --Fuso[close call]
Well, the less we say about the teams abomination that was the design process and end result of the Gneisenau Refit... wait, that's right... Auf Scharnhorst, the better.
FC at 43 points is a better fit IMO.
We want to avoid power creep - a few horses have already left the barn but let's not empty the stables.
In the case of Italy we are talking about a single canceled BB. I doubt she would have been left in 1920's configuration while the others were rebuilt. If anything she would have been rebuilt and one of the older BB's would have been scrapped or left unmodified for second line service.
Just noticed squint has a rebuilt version of this up on shapeways in addition to the original.
Was a decision made regarding which fit to do and would the different versions have reflected much on how the cards would have looked or just the silhouette/pic. The refit mini looks a lot more beefed up and powerful.
