As a nurse, I also have to flip back and forth between the systems; and as a handloader I have to deal with the more exotic apothecary measures.

Metric is just too damn easy when talking about miniscule amounts.

I would FAR rather measure in milligrams than in drams and grains.
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.

Carat is a fun messurement.  It brings a twinkle to a ladies eye.

Well my profession we don't measure in metric, but in archaic variations of standard English. We still use "M" as a shorthand for thousand, and chains are a common unit (66 feet in a chain, 80 chains in a mile). We don't tend to use rods or links though, leave those for surveyors.  We have no need to worry about grains or grams though, nothing weighs that little...though sometimes bridge tonnage loading limits come into play.
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

Changing topic - I'll try to have the report up tomorrow at the latest.  Simming out naval stuff got pushed back a few days on account of additional domestic duties and reduced energy levels.

September will be up in about six hours - I'm giving a bit of time for the other Mods to skim through it and point out any obvious errors.

September is up and annotated reports have been sent to belligerents.  Please provide orders for October by Friday if possible.

QuoteLogi, Many of those airfields you had were flooded. Many of your aircraft if not moved should have been destroyed.

Come on...*

There are reasons for MK strategic decisions.  

Responding here as it is approraite here for what I noticed.

The MK airfield were built in the 1919/H2 half. That means they are not available for usage until 1920 (as it is operational in the half month after it's construction completed).

Hence curious question, as far as I can tell, ALL the MK airfields were completed this half. Where the hell are the MK aircraft operating out of?


EDIT: Sorry reading error, happened (misread airships are airstrips in rules). There's no problem.

I sent in my report a week ago before I left for vacation, so my guess is we are waiting on Damocles.

Want to know how much BP you need to spend on coffins?
You smug-faced crowds with kindling eye
Who cheer when solider lads march by
Sneak home and pray that you'll never know
The hell where youth and laughter go.

None, if I remember correctly, BP is industrial steel, not wood.

You'll need nails for those milions of coffins.  
At least 16 per coffin.  1 gram a nail= 16 grams a coffin= 16 000 000 grams per million coffins= 16 tons= 16 torpedo's
