World of Warships Blitz - British cruiser "Edinburgh" review
The Edinburgh and me have ... a bit of a history. Back then, I didn't know quite a lot of things yet, and the grind was an absolute pain. With some better understanding on how to use the AP-only guns, and cruiser gameplay in general, I was keen to check if we'd get along better.
Having exhausted their vanguard divisions against stubborn Red Army defences, the Germans change tactics and focus on creating "Schwerpunkte" - local superiority in forces to break through strategic points of the defence. With infantry divisions faltering under pressure, it's once again up to the tanks to counterattack, or just dig in and be used as bunker / artillery.

The Germans tried to design a ... thing. Not a cruiser hybrid, or a counter to the French ... things ... but just a large destroyer with large guns, ok? And then Admiral Raeder told them to stop that, because it didn't work. Well, now we have it in the game. Following me so far? If you can see where this is going, come along for a journey to find out how much fun I can have with a commentary - no such thing as a bad ship, if I can make it entertaining, right?
Right?

Dr Shen has turned the dead Archon King into ... well, not really a handbag, but a fancy cosplay suit for Frida, complete with a jetpack. So of course, she'll have to use her new mobility at the first opportunity, and go for a flight. Surely, if ADVENT can't spot the Spark stomping around while we're "in concealment", they won't see her in the skies, right?
Right?
Ah, crap.

What is the size of a battlecruiser, has the manoeuvrability of a tier 8 battleship, and so many guns that I lost count? The tier 10 "light cruiser" (really, you're not fooling anyone, Japan. Admit it, you read Admiral Fisher's ideas, and thought is was an instruction manual).

It's time for another round of Player Fortnite Unknown Royale - you know, the survival mode thing. It's stressful, so I only played a couple of rounds, but one thing that's important to remember here is that this isn't about doing the most damage, or sinking the most ships - it's about being the last boat afloat. You see where I'm going with this, right?

We have linked up with the German advance, and now it's a race to secure as much Soviet territory as possible. The supply situation at the frontlines is dreadful, but the Soviets have the same problem. The winter is claiming a lot of casualties on both sides, and materiel shortages start appearing.

Between the ruins of bombed-out Minsk and the push through the southern marches, the German Army Group Centre is about to be encircled. If the Red Army forces can link up, that'll lead to almost 120 German divisions being cut off from their supply lines.

After the renewed humiliation of the Royal Navy, the British negotiate cessation of hostilities - and not a moment too soon, because the Russian Empire has found the casus belli they were looking for, and the German / Austro-Hungarian alliance is once again at war.

With the capital ships of the High Seas fleet busy bombarding Dutch shore fortifications, it's up to the screening forces to keep the English channel clear of interference, and the British out of continental Europe.
