...is a dead horse topic like the Grav Lance in the Honorverse forum. Then at times like this when things are especially slow somebody would resurrect the topic and we could all flog the deceased equine for the 100th time. :lol:

Observation balloons, this doesn't look like electricity so can't they ... , diesels, machine guns - which type? King Haralds are stupidly overpowered so shouldn't be built ..., Merlin should just kill all the ... etc etc
