[Ansteorra] Current History

[David Whitford]

Its the King George V for the Brits. Before the war
ended the the Brits had the Lion class on the drawing
boards with 18s I believe, the Germans the H-42 class
with 20s and the US the Montana (I think) with 18s.
But the longest ranged ones if I recall are the German
11s
