Spain does us a favour by grouping together all of its ancient junk together in a big blob so we can sink it all at once rather than chasing them across the globe. Very helpful. We shall repay their kindness by taking over their Caribbean holdings. Yes everything is going great and nothing could possibly stand in our way nowâŠ

Guessing 23 is the problem episode as it seems strange from peace and being given my Battleship to sudden war before it's built (presumably)
Nice salvo from tye battleship suprised only 2 belt pens did that.
You know the enemy is scuffed when your BBs are faster than their CLs đ€Ł
I feel that you have broken the curse of the namesake ships getting sunk. đđđđ
When you're having to use the terms "protected cruiser" or "armored cruiser" in 1947 to describe enemy ships, you know they're in trouble.
34:48 bless you
That was some proper Ultimate Sneezing, indeed! đ€Ł
Hope youâre feeling well. Keep up the good work.
I saw the thumbnail and for a second thought you had started a new campaign
đ
Eventually Brazil and The Netherlands are going to have to duke it out for world domination, an unlikely climax to this series
i love how this game target switches, mere seconds before the main guns shoot (case and point 4:25). Ugh! So frustrating! "In how to annoy and screw over the person playing the game with AI … .
"
I love how you have always been so judgemental of the AI's odd choices of funnels. Cracks me up every time!
That Republican Spain flag is really nice looking. I can not think of any countries off the top of my head that have purple on their flags.
Hey BrotherMunro
If you can remember that CL with 6 twin 6inch turrets you refitted to 5 triples well I had one of a very similar size and armament, it even looked very much the same.
Since I didn't build in as much speed as you my refits gave it SIX triple 6inch turrets for 18 guns total plus about 12 triple 3inch guns and 4 triple 23inch elec torps and as much armour as I could put on it
Would want to run into that in a dark alley đ
Does the AI ever do anything in this game? I played one campaign and my capital ships were all 3x the displacement and 10x more effective and i lost interest…
The thing that drives me batty is how you use all your capital-grade warships together like a club to beat the snot out of a seal. There hasn't been an engagement yet where all of them were needed to overcome a foe that you're eliminating.
That said, it is a very Mahan-ian thing to do, and I certainly appreciate the guarantee of victory that it brings. It would just be nice to see a task force or two led by a capital warship instead of a heavy cruiser, to show off all the brilliant designs and storied ships of the campaign together, instead of battleship row goes to war. Series has been enjoyable so far, and I'm not about to stop watching due to a minor(at the most) complaint. Keep it up Brother Munro!
Relatório: Refit of the Caboclo class of Cruzadors Caçador. 31:05:
Diretoria-Geral do Material da Marinha: Relatório da Direção: 27-Oct-1947

The Class has a double bottom hull, reinforced bulkheads with water tight hatches separating extensive compartmentation, counter-flooding systems, improved pumps and piping for flooding reduction. An increased crew of 622 officers and enlisted men will be provided standard quarters. The class carries Radio Direction Finding (RDF), Advanced SONOR, and the RADAR systems.
Construction: The refit will cover the ships Caboclo and Necrotree. Refit time will be 4 months with a recommissioning time of 2 months. Valuation of each ship will rise to $349,188,600, and monthly maintenance in port will now be $12,221,600.
Battle of Port au Prince 26:37:
EstadĂŁo, 21 October 1947
The Atrevido class Cruzador Blindado Carvalho de Eternidade from the ColĂłn Estação Naval do Panama and the the D class Destruidor D-5 from the Christiansted Estação Naval do Virgin Islands were patrolling south of Haiti when they found two Gravina Class Cruçeros de 3a Clas, Covadonga and Don Ălvaro de BazĂĄn.
They sighted to smoke of two ships moving at warship speed to the south-east, and having no other ships of their own in the area they closed to see if the ships were Spanish or British. Carvalho de Eternidade sighted Don Ălvaro de BazĂĄn and Covadonga, and recognizing them as Spanish ships, swung to bring her 8â broadside into play. Her first hit punched through the main belt on Covadonga. With more shells having damaged Covadonga Carvalho de Eternidade switched fire to Don Ălvaro de BazĂĄn, soon flooding her aft. Don Ălvaro de BazĂĄn sank with 705 of her 754 man crew. Carvalho de Eternidade had to sweep around the sinking wreck of Don Ălvaro de BazĂĄn to get the flooding hit forward on Covadonga. Covadonga was sunk with 648 of her 754 man crew.
Carvalho de Eternidade took 57 casualties from a crew of 805, with 5 returned to duty. D-5 picked up the 155 Spanish survivors.
Landings have begun on Puerto Rico, with initial losses reported at 144 to 646 for the Spanish. Western Sahara has been taken. Losses from the amphibious landings have not been reported but the Exército Brasileiro took 5,738 casualties in their invasion from Algeria while the Ejército de Tierra took 32,248.
The Fleet Moves to Support Invasion of Western Sahara 25:59:
EstadĂŁo, 8 August 1947
With the capture of the Baleares in April and the Canarias in July, the fleet is now moving off the coast of the Western Sahara at Dakhla to conduct amphibious landings with half their force while the Exército Brasileiro continues their campaign from Algeria. The remaining ships of the fleet are headed for the Caribbean.
Battle of Bonifacio 21:19:
EstadĂŁo, 16 March 1947
With the collapse of the Bourbon monarchy in Spain the mob in Madrid has declared the Republica de España and now fly the Red/Yellow/Purple flag with the arms of Spain in the middle. The Crusader State of Groot-Nederland is attempting to profit off the chaos in Spain by landing at Valencia.
Meanwhile the Armada Republica Española has managed to get the modern Reina Victoria Eugenia Class Cruçero de 1a Clas San Cristobal out of dock and deployed to escort three Flora class 13 thousand ton 74 manned two single 4.1â armed transports west of Bonifacio. The sightseeing crews of the Nigella and Louco, enjoying the beaches north of Olbia, sighted the convoy and rushed back to their ships to radio in the information. The ParaguassĂș, lead of her class of Cruzadors Caçador from the Gaeta Naval Base de Latina, rushed west and hunted them down. It would be her twelve 7â guns against San Critobalâs six 9.1â guns.
San Cristobal looked like she was moving to get between the convoy and ParaguassĂș, who opened fire first with her 7â guns, but San Cristobal ducked behind the transport Almirante Oquendo, who took a hit that took out her 4.1â magazine. The 3â secondary guns finished Almirante Oquendo off, forcing her to surrender after taking 35 of her 74 man crew as casualties.
San Cristobal again circled close, but took flooding hits both fore and aft. The two ships were close and ParaguassĂș began to swing her two quintuple torpedo launchers around. San Cristobal saw this and tried to snipe the launcher crews. In return ParaguassĂș hit the 9.1â aft magazine and blew the aft turret off the San Cristobal. With a column of blue flame distracting the spotters, ten torpedoes came screaming in. San Cristobal managed to launch one torpedo in return.
One of ParaguassĂșâs blew up on the way in. San Cristobal took two on her bow but she was already flooded there. ParaguassĂș had to continue to exchange fire, now twelve 7â guns against four 9.1â guns. But her 7â shells managed to breach the remaining bulkheads on San Cristobal and the Cruçero sank with 1153 of her 1273 man crew.
ParaguassĂș proceeded to blow Santa Margarita out of the water, killing 69 of her 74 man crew, and then the convoy leader Flora, who lost 70 of her 74 man crew. The Spanish Merchant Marine, one of the silent bankers of the revolt, has lost another 40 thousand gross registered tons of shipping, 174 officers and seamen killed, and 48 captured. Another 120 men of the Armada Republica Española were captured as well.
ParaguassĂș took seven casualties. One of the casualties was the CapitaĂł di Corveta, killed in his 2â armored conning tower.
Battle of Mallorca, Part 2 10:10:
EstadĂŁo, 19 January 1947
Phase Two
Louco had turned inside of Montanha and was again the port fleet, now closest to the enemy, which was six 3a Clas. The Edetana was plastered by 14â shells and sunk with 701 of her 754 man crew. The older Doña Maria de Molina was sunk with 542 of her 596 man crew. The modern PenĂnsula was sunk with 737 of her 754 man crew, but she had gotten close enough for a torpedo launch targeting Louco. 581 of the men on Alerta were lost to the fire, only 15 managing to abandon ship.
As Louco and Montanha were ripping through the Spanish central division the port division appeared over the horizon. Sizing this threat up, Montanha missed the incoming torpedo from PenĂnsula which struck her main belt. Another two struck Louco moments after the Principe Alfronso sank with 648 of her 754 man crew. NarvĂĄez then sank with 701 of her 754 man crew.
Louco was ordered to retire. The Brazilia was now leading the port division. One Cruçero de 3a Clas remained near the battle lines. León was sunk with 128 of her 754 man crew, but she also got her torpedoes launched. Her target was Nigella and she got four hits, one dud and three solid. Nigella was ordered to retire.
The Brazilian ships now all formed on Montanha as they closed ahead of the rest of the Spanish fleet. The Conde de Regla, lead of her class of older Cruçeros de 3a Clas, was sunk with 421 of her 489 man crew.
The remaining Spanish fleet lay to the north in three columns. The Cruçeros de 2a Clas were in the middle column, and Cruçeros de 3a Clas were to port and starboard as well as ahead of the 2a Class in the middle. The first of these was the Elcano, sunk by the Vickers with 611 of her 754 man crew. The head of the Spanish port column, Fernando el Católico, was sunk with 463 of her 489 man crew. Mendez Nuñez, another modern 3a Clas in the middle column, was sunk with 738 of her 754 man crew. Navarra, the second ship of the port column, was sunk with 454 of her 489 man crew. The San Salvador class Cruçero de 2a Clas San Juan was sunk with 537 of her 564 man crew. Vigilante lost her forward turret to a flash fire. She was the last ship in the port column. With more hits she flooded out and sank with 444 of her 489 man crew.
Ligera was the last 3a Clas in the middle column and she was sunk with 519 of her 596 man crew. Two 2a Clas followed her, Conception de Zubelzu and the modern Buenaventura. Conception de Zubelzu was sunk with 513 of her 564 man crew. Buenaventura swept past her wreck but she was now well behind the Brazilian battle line and trying to close on Louco. The Montanha was heading for the Spanish stragglers, San Salvador, Velasco, and San Juan Baptista. She sank San Salvador with 545 of her 564 man crew. San Juan Baptista was even further back when she was snipped out of existence, losing 821 of her 849 man crew. Velasco was sunk with another 545 of her 564 man crew.
Buenaventura meanwhile was taking hits and losing her engines, just coasting forward hoping to get into torpedo range of Louco. Four more Cruçeros de 3a Clas were left in the starboard division but they were currently over the horizon, so the battle line was able to target Buenaventura, who took a magazine hit and blew off her aft turret. She was not flooded from her stern to below her main tower, had not rudder or engines, and fires on the ship. 140 casualties were already reported. Montanha continued to pound Buenaventura but having sighted the Diana turned to close on her. Finally the bulkheads caved on Buenaventura and she sank with 1069 of her 1273 man crew, the last modern ship in the Spanish fleet.
The Conde de Regia class Diana and three Doña MarĂa de Molina class, the Reina Cristina, Congreso, and Vasco Nuñez de Balboa remained. They were running, just not fast enough. Diana was sunk with 451 of her 489 man crew. Vasco Nuñez de Balboa was sunk with 546 of her 596 man crew. Reina Cristina was sunk with 557 of her crew. Congreso actually turned back as if to close for engagement. She actually tanked the first hit, taking little damage below her main tower. Montanha however put two 16â shells into her and she blew up, losing 530 of her 596 man crew.
Nigella, out for five months had taken 95 casualties, 7 returned to duty, and Louco, out for four months, had taken 91, 10 returned to duty. They were in the Nederlander port of Olbia, Sardinia. Brazilia had 68 casualties, only one man returned to duty, Montanha 40, only one man returned to duty, Foguete 22, only one man returned to duty, GoiĂĄs 12 casualties with two returned to duty, Vickers had 10 casualties, and Doninha Selvagem has one combat related accident. Doninha Selvagem, with the help of some empty troop transports, ranged over the whole of the battle area and picked up 2681 Spanish survivors. Some more men may have made it to the islands and disappeared into the civilian populace.
Battle of Mallorca, Part 1 00:00:
EstadĂŁo, 19 January 1947
The Players
The Encrouraçdo Montanha, sole ship of her class, and seven Encrouraçdos Rapido, the GoiĂĄs, lead of her class and her sister ship Doninha Selvagem, the Vickers, sole of her class, the Louco, sole ship of her class, the Foguete, lead of her class, and the Brazilia, lead of her class and her sister Nigella, were coving the landings at Mallorca and the Balearic Islands when the Armada Real Española decided to intervene. They sent the San Esteban Apedreado Class Cruçeros de battala lead ship, an 18 thousand ton, six twin 9.4â armed, 23.6 knot fast ship, no match for a Brazilian 14â armed Encrouraçdos Rapido, five Reina Victoria Eugenia Class Cruçeros de 1a Clas, La Lavia, Santa Clara, Buenaventura, San Juan de Gargoriu, and San Cristo de Burgos, four San Salvador Class Cruçeros de 2a Clas, San Salvador, Velasco, Conception de Zubelzu, and San Juan, the San Juan el Menor Class Cruçeros de 2a Clas San Juan Baptista, five Conde de Regla Class Cruçeros de 3a Clas, Fernando el CatĂłlico, Navarra, Vigilante, Conde de Regla, and Diana, six Doña MarĂa de Molina Class Cruçeros de 3a Clas, the lead ship Doña Maria de Molina, Reina Cristina, Ligera, Congreso, Alerta, and Vasco Nuñez de Balboa, and the nine very modern Gravina Class Cruçeros de 3a Clas, Castilla, Edetana, Elcano, Gaditano, LeĂłn, Mendez Nuñez, NarvĂĄez, PenĂnsula, and Principe Alfronso, to challenge the invasion.
Louco led the port division with Brazilia, Doninha Selvagem, and Nigella following and Montanha led the starboard division with Vickers, GoiĂĄs, and Foguete following. Montanha sighted the enemy off her starboard bow, the San Esteban Apedreado east-south-east, and opened fire. San Esteban Apedreado was heading west-south-west, and Montanha turned the division to match, with Louco also turning. La Lavia, Santa Clara, and San Cristo de Burgos were also visible behind San Esteban Apedreado.
San Esteban Apedreado took the first hit of the battle when a 14â shell smacked onto her fore deck. More 14â shells came in as Montanha slowly trained her aft 16â twin turret around. Montanha finally opened up a full salvo of nine 16â guns on San Esteban Apedreado, getting four hits and penetrating the citadel twice, going through the fore belt and out the other side, and banging off the fore deck. Her hull shattered from bow to her aft funnel, all most all of San Esteban Apedreado began to flood. Soon every engine was disabled and 230 casualties were reported. The 6â secondary guns finished her (yeah, notice that?) and San Esteban Apedreado sank with 1338 of her 1472 man crew.
La Lavia began to take hits, and with a flooded bow she tried to fall back on the rear of her division, but idiotically turned to starboard and towards the Brazilian ships to do it. She blew up and lost 1082 of her 1273 man crew, one of only five modern 1a Clas in the Spanish fleet.
With La Lavia sunk more Cruçeros de 3a Clas came out of smoke, and still only half the Spanish fleet was visible. The Santa Clara, another modern 1a Clas, was sunk with 1095 of her 1273 man crew. Montanha had to turn to avoid a torpedo moving only a few knots faster than her own 30. Meanwhile Nigella was beating on the San Cristo de Burgos, trying to sink her before she got into torpedo range. San Cristo de Burgos took flooding under her main tower and in an engineering compartment, lost her 1.3â magazine, and had 135 casualties reported. Taking more flooding hits San Cristo de Burgos sank with 1212 of her 1273 man crew.
Two modern Cruçeros de 3a Clas, Castilla and Gaditano, lay off Montanha port bow, the rest of the visible Spanish fleet was off her port quarter, with San Juan de Gargoriu, another modern 1a Clas, leading them. Gaditano was blasted away first, losing 626 of her 754 man crew. Castilla was hit and her four quadruple torpedo launchers blasted away, before being sunk with 690 of her 754 man crew. Now Montanha was free to turn to port and cross the T of San Juan de Gargoriu and the main Spanish fleet. San Juan de Gargoriu was steadily pulling away from the older ships following her. Her bridge was blown off, but not before she launched a torpedo which failed just a shipâs length off Montanha port side. More shells came in and San Juan de Gargoriu broke up, losing 1223 of her 1273 man crew. Buenaventura was the last of the Cruçeros de 1a Clas.
Contâd.
Note; youâre missing Invictus Cohete who is still at Sasebo. And this is in fact the 3rd largest battle by number of ships and the biggest since 1904. Also there is nothing lighter than a light cruiser on the other side, you sank all three destroyers they had in 1944.
Epic sneeze at the end đ
Yes, things are going swimmingly for the Spanish navy, if by that you mean their sailors are quite experienced at swimming for their lives…
I can't get TAF working please help
Eh, you were killing enemy ships left and right with that spanish "main" fleet, was it REALLY necessary to close to contact range with them allowing them to allmost sink one of your ships?? Why throw away all the range advantage??
