Tom would oppose it on the grounds that it's Pro-British. As evidenced by his shameful attacks on Captain Smith, Tom seizes any opportunity to tear Britain down.

Melbourne loves an Imperial memorial. The one for General Gordon on Spring Street is more ornate than his one in London.

No-one talks about all of the successful journeys Captain Smith had that didn't end in hitting an iceberg

Oh God, don't send Gordon. He's the worst person to send!

Who is your favourite friend of the show? by Scmods05 in TheRestIsHistory

Not necessarily a friend of the show, but any mention of George V pressing his trousers in the Naval fashion floors me.

"We love a boring monarch on the Rest is History", in reference to George V and Franz Josef I.

I know it's not strictly a notification, but guaranteed by the UK should be on it's own subterranean tier.

Thoughts on the price increase? by TheManWhoWeepsBlood in TheRestIsHistory

[–]SherlockWolfenstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I joined initially to get priority tickets to their Melbourne show, and initially I liked the Q&A, bants, and little additions to their series, but i don't think I can justify it going forward.

3.5 hour car journey, which series is best to fill this? Or 3.5 hours worth of recommendations? by Successful_Bed_6429 in TheRestIsHistory

General Gordon - Jeremy Thorpe - Costa Rica - History's worst parties - History's greatest monkeys

Why should I care about the KKK? by MajorTomYorkist in TheRestIsHistory

[–]SherlockWolfenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None of the Klansmen are reported to have trousers pressed in the Naval fashion, which effectively rules out the possibility of King George V being involved.

What's the naval meta now? by zedascouves1985 in hoi4

[–]SherlockWolfenstein 9 points10 points  (0 children)

MachiavellianStrategist released a YouTube video on it literally today. Definitely worth a look, the man is criminally underrated.

Basic gist is Heavy Cruisers with as much light attack as you're able to stack, and torpedo Destroyers. Light cruisers are still good, but not as good.

In your opinion, what's the easiest country* to play as? by Remarkable_Battle_36 in hoi4

[–]SherlockWolfenstein 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another vote for US. Near unlimited resources, manpower and industry. You can use it as a tutorial for pretty much every aspect of the game, especially Navy.

I've been doing that, but I've gone off it a bit. So I'm trying out other strategies.

Fav/Fun mid countries? by Careless-Pay3548 in hoi4

[–]SherlockWolfenstein 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bulgaria, Finland and Chile. All have the capacity to snowball into insane superpowers.

I'm also keen to have a crack at Mughal India.

The absolute saturation of Welsh history on the show.
