A Game for the Amateur Military Historian. Support Apolyton, buy Galactic Civilizations: Deluxe Edition

OK - I'm bored.

How about a game? The rules are simple. One person posts an image of a reasonably famous military event, person (i.e. General) or thing (i.e Ship). Other bored parties then try to guess what it is. The first to post the correct answer posts the next pic.

NB: It doesn't have to be a photograph, it could be a painting. It just has to be recognizable. If everyone else is too dense, clues may be posted.

So here's one I would get straightaway. Shouldn't be too hard.

Speer, is there something wrong with your eyes. Drake could see what it was, even if he didn't get the right ship.

Where's MtG when he's needed?

No. Clue: it's not a German ship.


Well... that should be obvious, German ships didn't have a habit of blowing up.

Oh, I thought that Drake's 'hood looks like that - after a rough night with the homies frontin' real style then my 'hood can get a bit like that too.

I take my hat off to Gangerolf. It is indeed the Queen Mary

Now I can go to bed.


I don't think my photo is the mirrored one. I've actually seen the original photo which is much bigger, covering a large part of the horizon and including several other ships. The photo I posted is a very small portion of it.


NB: Patroklos - the Inflexible was not sunk IIRC.

I saw it on TV once, had to be years ago. I guess Panther+Gothic Cathedral pulled the memory.

But a much luckier ship. You know, one of the few survivors from the Invincible attended the launching of her namesake in 1980 IIRC.

BTW that was an excellent pic Gangerolf, something that people are likely to have seen.

Well, I don't expect most people to have seen it (some obviously have ), but there should be enough hints in it to make it guessable.
