I could re-allocate spending, but there's a bit of a push on for additional IC this turn.  It eases off next turn but I'm not sure I'd be using all those BP up anytime soon anyway.

You can always choose to just let your factories idle. The BP goes away.
The thrill of choices eh?
Did they beat the drum slowly,
Did they play the fife lowly,
Did they sound the death march, as they lowered you down,
Did the band play the last post and chorus,
Did the pipes play the flowers of the forest

Probably because you were caught up in the bliss that comes with realizing you could donate it to a worthy nation !
Imagine what the Maya could do with it, or the Norse !

:P

Still got $6 to spend.  Maybe I need to go have a look through Jane's WW1 for some inspiration.

If I had $6 and 6BP extra to spend, my answer would always be "light cruisers".

I'm starting one, maybe I'll start a second.  Need an Ersatz Bug now.

I would go with more destroyers... or something completely ridiculous, Surcouf perhaps?

Yes.

I should build something ridiculous.

You're right.

From an in-character perspective, I'm not sure the Union would comfortable arming an immediate neighbour in the Americas.

A neighbor that acts as un-aggressive as an sloth?

I tried a ship with 5x1 250mm in a Fletcher layout, but SS doesn't like that very much.

Colonial cruisers ?
Coastal Patrol vessels ?

New MTBs for the Baltic ?
250-500t TBs for the North Sea ?

6 new Land/Air points for the Netherlands?

Invest in drydocks for your new Colonies?
Parthia's finished several 150m, which will accommodate much of her cruiser fleet.

You will be excited to know I've worked out how to spend the cash and have posted.

Drydocks are on my to-do list, for sure, though I do need to figure out where I want/need them most. 

I'm building a grand total of 4 MTB in 1913, figuring the navy will dabble with them, do some trials, etc.  Maybe in a year or two they'll get more serious about using them in numbers.

I now recognize what ridiculous thing I need to build - because otherwise, in the absence of "Russia", it might never have existed.
