Excellent, a right proper British Empire AAR. I expect nothing but the finest in nationalistic fervor, imperialist boot-heels, and of course light refreshments.
In honor of this I feel obligated to re-post the following terrible photoshop for the amusement of all:
Interesting setup with the two different ASMs this early. Personally I'd love to see what could be done with box launchers/VLS on the larger ships, but given the era and more importantly the complete lack of other player-controlled races that would be a bit silly of an idea in this AAR. Maybe in the next one!
Looks like the commander rank for the Astraea class might be a misclick, by the way.
The geological survey was very disappointing with no suitable mining sites. Mars, Mercury, Earth’s moon and the Galilean moons of Jupiter were all entirely devoid of mineral deposits.
From a reader perspective - excellent! A strong early economic motivation to expand rapidly out of Sol makes for an entertaining read.
Loving the introduction of ASW to deal with the Corsair incursions. Another different tactic, even compared to the last WH40K campaign, and we shall get to see how effective it might be.
Establishment of good relations with the
Space French Beershebae is an interesting and contrasting development. With the requests to honor territory well-received, this could be the beginning of a strong alliance, or an opportunity to expand the Empire, depending on the temperament of our British protagonists.
I will admit an interest in seeing how the British Army is developing in the TN era, obviously the Royal Navy is first and foremost but the Army cannot be neglected given the dangerous forces which lie in wait...
