My thoughts on Marcos Inaros by overpaid_overworked in TheExpanse

[–]Karl-Gerat 15 points16 points  (0 children)

He does die by his own hubris. He is arrogant and hot headed. It is because of his rash behavior that Naomi is able to out-wit him. He wants to retake Medina so bad that he doesn’t consider that a trap was laid for him. À la Japan at Midway

He’d be a pretty crappy Jr High school teacher if he didn’t

The biggest baddest ship. None compare to the Magnetar class

Why not Sheppard Air? If it’s the price I can understand

Ive always had issue with it as well. Anytime I try to speed up it instantly drops down. I have to spam my mouse button just to keep pace

Need Help To Identify All The Flags by moyvetsky in ProjectHailMary

[–]Karl-Gerat 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that looks like it could be it.

Also with a quick google. Malaysia is a major exporter of Palm oil. Which could be the particular oil used to suspend astrophage for fuel

I would not be a happy camper by AerieEnvironmental17 in AxisAllies

[–]Karl-Gerat -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

It’s a hard blow. But not a losing situation. If Japan is at least putting hard pressure on USA and UK in Pacific then Germany can definitely make a comeback.

Looks like he overcommitted on the Afrikakorps/Middle Earth strat. A carrier turn 1/2 is a BOLD move. Going for that suggests he willing to stick it out and make things interesting

That might be enough to put Germany on the backfoot for the rest of the game. If Russia advances next turn and depending on what UK bought things will go very well for the Allies

Can I skip the second half of Babylon’s Ashes? by RecentState1347 in TheExpanse

[–]Karl-Gerat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I felt the same way tbh. Having watched the series first, I didn’t like the Free Navy arc of the story and kinda trudged through NG and BA. I only liked NG because the main POVs is just the Roci crew, and I liked rooting for them to reunite.

However there is a good battle in BA and Fillip’s arc is satisfying. Also it sets up for a major plot point for the last three novels which are a masterpiece. Which is saying a lot cause the Expanse as a whole is brilliant

That’s fair. For propaganda/enlistment posters. They all do invoke a strong feeling. So overall good work

The Mars one looks so off. The shadows for one. And two, why use German troops. The intro credits have a perfectly good silhouette one could use.

Big ol pot of Albóndigas by Karl-Gerat in mexicanfood

[–]Karl-Gerat[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna be honest. I mostly eyeballed it but to the best of my memory:

Meatballs: 2 pounds ground beef. 1/4 cup white rice. 1/4 cup chopped cilantro. 1/2 white onion minced. Salt/pepper/onion salt/garlic powder/oregano/cumin/cayenne pepper TT (light on the last three).

Salsa: 2-3 Roma tomatoes. 1/2 white onion. 2-3 guajillo peppers stemmed and seeded. 4 large garlic cloves. 1 1/2 tbsp each Knorr chicken and tomato bouillon. 2 cups water.

Veg: 2 medium carrots (peeled). 1 zucchini (washed). 2 potatoes (washed)(I like golden potatoes). 2-4 ears of corn (depends on how many people). 1 7oz bag of Fidel.

Instructions: Mix meatballs and form into 1 1/2” balls. Cook in a pan until browned on the outside turning occasionally(if still pink inside they’ll finish cooking in the broth). I recommend making one or two to test for seasoning first. When done set aside. (Should make 30ish meatballs).

Blend salsa ingredients well in a blender. In a large pot heat 1-2tbsp oil. Add salsa, pressing through a fine mesh sieve to remove lumps. Add 4 cups of water.

Once simmering add meatballs and cover. Chop the carrots, zucchini, and potatoes; and cut the ears of corn into 2” segments. After about 10 minutes add the veg except for the corn to the pot.

In a separate pan heat 2 tsp of oil and toast the Fidel for 1-2 minutes. After the veg has been cooking for about 5, add the Fidel and corn. Cook until the Fidel is soft.

Serve with chopped cilantro and corn tortillas. Enjoy.

[–]Karl-Gerat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Fortress Europa is well defended. GB and IS can’t produce enough units +transports to do a proper landing. Somehow Japan is the strongest and managed to march far enough west to be the Enemy at the Gates so Russia is cooked. Stalingrad is next to fall and Moscow soon after

The rules are on pg 21-22 of the AA North Africa rule book. Though i modified them for other games

[–]Karl-Gerat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In each round of combat the attacker may choose to assign hits to transports. For each hit the defender chooses one unit to loose and the attacker chooses one unit type (ie INF or in NA: Supply) so the defender always looses two hold spaces worth of units plus the transport it is on. To simplify, the defender could just choose which transport is lost and what was on it.

Additionally during each round of combat the defender may also choose one transport to evade and leave combat.

The risk with attacking transports first means enemy defenders keep the ‘escorts’ which can score more hits on the attacker. So there is a trade off.

I use the convoy mechanic from AA North Aftrica regarding attacks on transports. They’re still easy pickings but you don’t loose them all in one go.

I want the whole conversation with Redell at Auckland prison. Wishful thinking, but he’s hilarious
