India, where did you get more than six dozen battleships? I understand that you have a strong army, but such a navy that just suddenly sprouted up is unrealistic.

They've got gas too!

...

It's wrecking havoc amongst my lines, but the Japanese have a method too. Wait and see.

[Nova Imperius]

He didnt say 6 dozen battleships anywere

Id imagine it would be a buch of smallish ships, like TROY

I have 72 battleships and nearly as many smaller ships. I don't see how the Indians can have greater numbers; they fight a two front war, and are primarily an inland empire.

I said that's what I have, and he says he has more ships than I have.

[Kherkov]

I think the Franks have that, and because Brit said 'Using their numbers to their advantage' or something, that means India has more than six dozen.

Mmm no you dont. I dont even have 72 battleships, china doesnt even have 72 battleships.

China has 150 battleships in Francia. I think you're underestimating the size of everybody's navies.

Honestly, the soviet union had 75 battleships at its height. I think this has got to be regulated

Hmm... well, I think some of it may come as me having a poor understanding of the names of ships. That number includes destroyers, cruisers, pretty much everything except sloops, escorts, and transports.

My ships in Francia are mainly armed transports, rather than ships-of-the-line. Enough to give battleships a headache in large numbers, but no match one-on-one. It's why I haven't sent them out from Bordeaux.

Mmm im not sure. I think we need to get numbers made. Also you realise half of your navy was destroyed during Ladenburgs reign. And most will be on defense now. You could barely spare, 10 for this

[Nova Imperius]

Oh yes and iwould take months to have ships go from northern francia around africa and to India

[Cirema]

Oh yes and iwould take months to have ships go from northern francia around africa and to India

I realize that. I'm using troops and navy already in India.

I suppose that number will have to be revised to 6 dozen, total. I see what you're saying, my bad, but I think any further reduction isn't that realistic either.

no i think about 10 is the best. I mean you wouldnt have tons of destroyers to spare when there is a massive war going on

10, including sloops, patrol ships, and other small ships, or 10 battleships?

But like I've said a lot: I'm not moving troops between France, America, and India; I don't have the resources. I have the full Francian Indian Navy in India; none has been sent back to Europe.

10 battleships, up to 20 smaller ships

I'm thinking 5 battleships, 10 destroyers, and 20 smaller ships is realistic.

yes, far more realistic

Alright, I edited my original post dealing with the navy in India (page 20).
