Some players still have yet to get there selections into Carth. That is the holdup at this point AFAIK.

OK- from EVERYONE (except Nobody, Snip and KWorld):

I need you to cut and paste the locations of your Ports onto a clip from the map.
I need it in a picture- words aren't good enough anymore, unfortunately.
We are getting a bit crowded now and I want to make sure that we don't need to open up more area.

Send your picks to me either via E-mail or by posting a photobucket link.
If you have already sent me a link or file, your place is reserved.
Jef, I have your general vicinity reserved, but really need an illustration so I know where to place you exactly.
So 'ere's to you, Fuzzy-Wuzzy, at your 'ome in old Baghdad;
You're a pore benighted 'eathen but a first-class fightin' man;
We gives you your certificate, an' if you want it signed
We'll come an' 'ave a romp with you whenever you're inclined.

Is there an updated map with the taken areas on it?

Not ATM... some people reserved only with areas described in words.
That's why I asked for everyone except those who had sent pic claims to send one.
I'm having a busy week and wanted to get it done by Sunday, but I actually have to work an extra day on Sunday. I'll try and do it Saturday. Discribe the area in general terms and I will try and have the places already claimed up in some identifiable fashion tonight or tomorrow.

I was thinking perhaps there could be a further clarification on the matter of aircraft carrying ships. The rules ban flattops, and battleships, cruisers, and destroyers are not allowed to carry aircraft. However, under the rules a ship of some type is allowed to carry up to eight aircraft. This seems to allow a ship of some kind to be allowed to carry seaplanes, balloons, and dirigibles, but no ships are allowed to carry aircraft except for coastal defense ships and gunboats (only then because they are not explicitly prohibited). Are seagoing ships are allowed to carry aircraft given these restrictions, or just the coastal ships?

Also, are we allowed to do Kearsarge style stacked turrets providing the ships meet all the other restrictions?

Note: I merged your post from the Meeting room to here. Trying to keep all the questions in one place.

Carth will have to answer the aircraft question, as the treaty is his baby.

Yes, stacked turrets of different calibers are allowed ala Kearsarge, however this may not apply to main guns.

On the subject of aircraft, does the limitation on aircraft include unpowered towed ones such as observation balloons, kites, gliders, and gyrogliders?

AFAIK, those are to be treated as storyline only and can have no role in conflict. Also a note on AC, Fighter and Bomber units will not be allowed at the game start. Only Recon planes will be available, and they will preform as well as a 1910 aircraft could expect to.

will answer at home after work. No powered aircraft on starting ships. Balloons possible but risky.

I figured that flying machines would not really be suited for naval uses if they also are 1910 technology. They would also be rather dangerous to use in areas not cleared of wildlife, especially seeing as the premier reconnaissance aircraft of 1910 greatly resembled a large bird:



Also, I noticed a potential typo in the rules. I am considering a 125 mm gun (4.92 inches) but the rules say that a 5 inch gun is equal to a 120 mm. Real life 5 inch guns are classified as having a caliber of 127 mm when expressed in metric.

At game-start, the Columbiad Republic isn't (officially) doing anything with heavier-than-air craft, they exist but the government sees them as too limited to be of interest at this time.  Powered lighter-than-air craft, on the other hand, are getting official interest, a smallish rigid airship is under construction for testing purposes.
