United Kingdom (and colonies) setup

that leaves roughly 921 BP for the navy.

I could always add more slipways and dry docks if you prefer :p

Yes... not sure whose idea it was to give the UK almost 40 half years worth of BPs for the startup... but it sure wasn't me. ;D

To thank Walter for his great service to God, Queen, and Empire, Parliament hereby declares June 10th to be Walters Day and furthermore, will build a statue of him to the tune of 190,000 tons.

[Walter]

I think you'd be spending the materials more wisely if you were to make statues of Isambard Kingdom Brunel or Horatio Nelson or Arthur Wellesley or Oliver Cromwell or Richard III or Edward I or Publius Aelius Hadrianus Augustus or Calgacus. A statue of me would just be additional proof to indicate that the British are a bunch of nutters. :)

[Darman]

Well the size of the statue is down to 93,000 tons now :p

So, the left-hand column is the type and quantity of historic guns mounted on the approaches to Plymouth Harbor in the 1890s.  The middle column gives the ratio for which I'm exchanging them for weapons that actually matter, which are displayed in the rightmost column.  I'm giving this as an example of how I'm calculating the coastal defenses I'm planning to declare.  Those areas I have no or insufficient information for I'll purchase.

This is a preliminary report, with the naval base fortifications being based on historic defenses, altered slightly so I don't have millions of muzzle-loaders, I've replaced them on a roughly 2 or 3-1 ratio depending on calibers.
