Helm-sman: A person at the helm
Helm-alee: Like banking left or right but away from the wind.

Hey chaps.
I'm away for a few days and the whole place turns nautical.
I need a stiff Port. One of the red ones, not those creme de menthe steerboard ones that they paint the sides of Russian ships with.

Arr me hearties, I got taken all aback by your efforts to run Tim aground financially.
Leave the brave pilot to fly his kites before he turns to bombing those 3 masters of yours.
Besides there are NO Cookies in Sails only Hardtack biscuits with weevils.
Your guns wont be able to reach him in the dizzy heights of 1917 & you might run afoul of a Dreadnaught or two.

Your are correct in your No Sails Alliance stance. Stick to your guns and repel all boarders!

Maybe the Elves could help you and your B-17C craving. I do not have a 17C in my 144 scale collection.
Rich
Years ago I started a pair of 1/144" scale B-17F' s to C's conversion, then along came WOW . . . They lurk in my shop under a layer of time, I will send an expedition of elves too seek them . . .
Tim
What did i tell you, the Elves to the rescue!

I already did (drooool!)
actually thats true in 41/42 as the E had gone into production before pearl harbor in light of the C and Ds failure in combat in british hands in 1940 as the fortress I. many Es (most produced before pearl harbor, in fact) were rushed to hawaii and the phillipenes (along with Cs and Ds)as a deterrent to japanese (didnt work obviously). ill have to look up the exact numbers but the pre E production of 17s is surprisingly small. i dont blame you for wanting an early shark fin 17 though. the "art deco bomber" is such an attractive bird and i wanted some for the game in the worsts way before i got mine (THANKS CLIPPER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!). truth is im a fan of the b17 in almost any configuration. except of course, minerva/aphrodite or qb-17 target drone that is............
