After Balz was demoted one step in rank for the incident, the tea cozy was promoted to Kaleun.

Ah... but Balz has an out, the ship fired first, he was simply defending himself.

wasn't there something in the prize rules about if any ship tries to avoid inspection or is fired on the kaluen has the authority to sink her? also depending on where they are the kaluen had clearence to sink all ships but those that where allied to germany.

Consider this:

If there are no enemy survivors, the victor gets to tell the story to his best advantage.

"We surfaced simply to ask directions (Bernard having used our nautical charts for toilet paper) and the tanker just fired at us. Their first shot disabled our dive planes so we couldn't submerge. The second shot took off my tea cozy and 1/4 inch of my topknot. We had no choice but to sink her before she sank us. Unfortunately for the tanker's crew, she was carrying high octane aviation spirits. The ship exploded and burned. Our bridge watch had their eyebrows singed as we tried to get close enough to rescue possible survivors, but alas, there were none.

Fortunately, our LI was able to free the dive planes and we are proceeding on patrol, minus 26 rounds of 8.8 cm ."

How's that for aggressive?

The binoculars presented by the Fuhrer himself made a sad clunk on the deckl Oh well, Balz thought. and renewed his heroic pose- "Cease fire," he orderedl
"Sleaze fire," Bernard yelled.
Sizzling fire," Schnitzel commanded.
Another round went into the breech and the gun boomed.
Bernard handed Balz his binoculars given bt the Fuhrer. "Here are your valued binoculars and visionary glasses."
"Get lost you bastard."
Bernard leaned over the hatch abs shouted, "torpedo loss, you bastards."
Balz watched the torpedo wake head straight for the neutral tanker and the end of his career as the Kriegsmarine´s most brilliant officer.

Lol I bet Bernard gets loaded in the tube next.

Good lord, this ranks right up there with Squiddy McSquid for best thing I've ever read (X3 playthrough written by NuclearSlug, side-splitting stuff).

Could Bernard fit within the breach of an 8.8cm? Seems appropriate to at least try.

HW3 · 07-30-13, 08:15 PM

Warren, this is not Balz first appearance in the forums. Do a search to find his other stories, they are worth it.

Eisenwurst · 07-30-13, 08:25 PM

Very good. I haven't laughed so much in days.

VONHARRIS · 07-30-13, 11:29 PM

The torpedo will explode prematurily and Bernard will get away with it.

danasan · 07-31-13, 03:16 AM

A circle runner wouldn't be that bad in this situation

Jimbuna · 07-31-13, 08:22 AM

Bernard will end up getting a kick in the balz.
