Gentlemen, gentlemen.
Hardly sporting! Apples, oranges, and... giant, armoured, heavily armed...
grapes... we're comparing here.
Flame's built to historical scale... mainly due to my lack of cannon...
*grumbles*. Wait till I figure out how to build a Carronade! I'll load her
down with 36-pounders and then we'll see who laughs...
Meanwhile, we'll stay at least ten miles from that great greay beast of
yours, LFB.
Hardly sporting... *grumbles* armor piercing... *grumble* :-D
